Reader! take care of yourself, I need you! (selfish •••••, aren't I?? LOL) Sounds like your bs did drop. I was the low fat queen for years until I went for my physical and found out my bs was borderline diabetis. Maybe switch to good fats low carbs for a while and see what happens.

Had to drop back in after Survivor...

{{hugs}} back, that feels good!! :) Thanks

Yes, I've been diagnosed as hypoglycemic. Chromium Picolinate helps stabilizes me, but even more so the high fat, high carb diet!! Hence weight gain!! :) So I am trying to find that balance of no sugar, no salt (I also have low blood pressure), no fats, low carbs, PROTEIN< PROTEIN<PROTEIN!!! and I didnt take my chromium, and I didnt eat in the disignated time slot. So its partly my fault, I forget I have to take care of me. My brain feels fuzzy still. I made myself some tomato soup, and toasted cheese and ham sandwich... and chips. I think my b/p and sugar levels bombed out! So, I have to get my levels up, get to work tomorrow, and start a new day.

Right now, I know I can find that balance, but I know I didnt take my vitamins, and that made a difference. Also, I thought I was going to eat at 12, DD had thier Thanksgiving Feast, parents made turkey, stuffing etc... would you believe we were there just to WATCH the kids eat? Unbelievable.

I can do this, thanks for your support, and hugs!! :)

Right now I'm relieved. Thanks for checking back in with us {{{Reader}}}. Inviting parents in to watch kids eat??? How incredibly rude. Take care of yourself, Reader, we don't want to have to cyber-force feed you!

Right now I'm wishing you could re-wind real life and play the scene again. I usually have my hair trimmed every 6 weeks or so, and had gone over 8 weeks because my regular stylist is on maternity leave. I got fed up with it today and made an appointment with one of her co-workers for this evening. She asked how much I wanted cut and I said I hadn't had it cut in about two months so go ahead and trim it an inch all over (mine seems to grow about 1/2" per month.) In one or two clips, by the time my brain processed the fact that she was cutting it to a length of 1" all over it was too late. Where's the darn remote with the re-wind button????????????????

My hair is shorter than it has ever been, at least since I was about 6 months old. I don't want to go out in public, but I have a full schedule tomorrow. Do you think anyone would notice if I wear a stocking cap, or maybe I can go find my old page boy wig from the 70s...yikes I look horrible!!!

Oh Cathie!!!!!! I'm so sorry what a total BUMMER. I wish I could give you some of mine. It hasn't been cut in 2 years.. Right now I want to donate my hair to Cathie... hehehe :)

Reader, I also have hypoglycemia and I'm always packing snacks. In my desk drawer at work are several of those travel packs with beef sticks, cheese sticks and pretzel rods. I also have several of those Campbells soups to go. I have some of those canned chicken salad and crackers combos. I have a can of peanuts as well.

If I do sugar when my blood sugar is low, I will end up in a tailspin. That's why I have crackers and pretzels. I usually snack so my sugar doesn't get too low.

At my last conference, the banquet was so delayed by introductions, etc. that I actually ate the desert that was on the table first, and was considering eating the BUTTER! Of course my sugar went into a tailspin and I felt horrible the rest of the night and part of the next day. I should have just eaten a snack before the banquet, but I really wanted to "save room" for the awesome Southern cooking.

Right now, I am glad that Reader made it to school, bummed for Cathie about her haircut..gel it up, put on extra eyeliner and lipstick and act like it's the rage, not tired of hearing about RG's trip (wish I was getting the heck out of dodge!) and I can relate to MGA..I posted last night while drinking some wine..typing is interesting to say the least!

oh, cathie--you poor thing! obviously, you only wanted the extra growth cut off, not all the hair you had!
my hair still hasn't come out even since i had it cut the first week of july by someone other than my regular person (she was in mexico for a month and i just couldn't wait...)
my 'layers' were huge chunks of hair cut off all over, not thin areas that would blend and lie in with the longer hair. i have had to have the bottom cut twice since then and there is still the large 'top' chunk on the left side which hasn't grown enough to lie down! i was hoping by christmas that section would have grown enough to just cut all my hair and have it almost one length. christmas of 2004,it looks like......:)

Right now, my stomach muscles are burning! I have been such a slug since my surgery (in August! yikes) so I did the INSTRUCTIONAL part of my pilates tape (still to lazy to jump on the treadmill) and ouch...talk about out of shape muscles!!!!

Right now--RG, are you ready the for blizzard?

Right now I'm not ready for the blizzard, but it sounds like the cities part won't get hit as bad as up north, my guess is RG will get hit pretty hard. So far haven't seen any of it yet so it may all just blow over (wishfull thinking)

Right now I just want the next 15 minutes to go by quick so I can start my weekend.

Right now I just want to report that I am feeling pretty good this *morning* after all the fun last night. I guess we celebrated our birthdays a little early, since DH is going to be working those nights.

I'm off too - till next Tues, consequences tho - no work, no pay!!

Right now I'm reading, eating, and getting ready to curve it!!

I'd also like to report I read an article in Prevention Magazine that says chromium good - picolinate bad! Chromium does hellp stabilize the blood sugar (I need that! *g) but apparently according to the research this article sited, the picolinate was not good for the DNA thingys... it figures! I went to the vitamin shop, could only find the picolinate...

Right now I have to use the computer while ds is still sleeping. Last night it was so windy it blew the door open (nobody thought to lock it! duh!) and so the heat ran all night, HOT upstairs, brrrr downstairs!! lol ds cant sleep in the sauna! Went downstairs to 'cool off' he's back in bed!! bwahahaaaa!! I'm giving him a list of treats to bake!! fudge, lemon squares, cookies, and his favorite pie!! :) (chocolate cream!!)

Right now I'm thinking I should just take the whole week off. Gotta get the house cleaned, the laundry done, take DD#2 to Tallahassee tomorrow for a vist to pick out a dorm for next year. Still don't have a turkey cause I didn't think I was going to have to cook...yikes...too much to do and too little time. Maybe I should have put this in the rant thread.

Awwww, Lori. Right now I think its funny that Buffalo gets all the bad rep for snow and all we've had so far is one very light dusting that melted quickly. LOL Yesterday it was 70 degrees but tonight its supposed to get down to 26.
