We had pasta last night. It was whole wheat pasta, but still. I made ground hamburger with some pasta sauce & the pasta in it. It's one of hubby's favorite meals. I haven't made it in months because of my blood sugar. Well, I ate a small serving (picked out half my pasta) and tested at the 1hr and 2 hr marks just to see where my #'s were going to be. 1 hour after eating I was at 113. 2 hours after eating I was at 111. This morning I'm at 93. I guess those are acceptable! I think those are way lower than the #'s I'd been having in the past that caused my A1C to be so high. So even if I'm not dropping the pounds, I *am* lowering my blood sugar.
As of this morning, I am officially down 5.4 lbs. Not a lot, but it's less than I weighed this time last month.
Today also marks the 21st anniversary of when my grandfather passed away. "Pop Pop" wasn't perfect, but he did the best he could. He had a disease - alcoholism. He struggled with it his entire life. It had a powerful hold on him, and is the cause of his death. I still think about my pop-pop often.
