MY WEIGHT GUESS

So, today, this morning, I finally checked my blood sugar.  It is supposed to be between 4 and 6.  It was 24.  Eeeek!!  I am going to take my numbers through this day, eating without any caution.  Just to see.  Tomorrow I will be switching to diabetic conscious foods and start working on those numbers.  I am also going to weigh, and this scares me even more.  I know I am way bigger than I was six months ago and I know why now.  But even knowing how the diabetes has effected that number, it doesn't make it any easier to swallow.  I am going to take a guess that I am 278.00  That feels about right but I could be way more, I just don't know.  Your waist doesn't get bigger, the fat roll just gets lower.  "sigh"

Something else I have noticed since coming back here to Maui.  The last spell here I committed to writing a poem every day until I had 100.  It was really tough at times and I had to finish once I got back to Vancouver.  But I did finish and wrote 100 of them.  I didn't really think about it again until I got here.  Several times now I have had the sudden thought that I need to write a poem.  I think a habit did actually get formed.  I started to re read some of them and I have decided that I am going to do it again.  But this time I am going to not head for a certain number but commit to writing a poem a day while I am in Maui...forever more.  I know no one will ever read them but I don't care.  Its a discipline I am happy to embrace again!

Now its the end of day.  About 11 this morning we took off up to Lahaina to Klimos for an amazing lunch.  Fish tacos and fish and chips, a seat by the ocean, a cool breeze...so pleasant.  We then drove to Kahului along the banana bread trail.  There seems to be an awful lot of people on the island right now. There were a couple of difficult passings on that narrow road, we were doing the backing up.  One yellow hummer tried to pull into the cliff side and get us to pass him on his right, our left, on the drop off side.  I think NOT!!  We backed up til we found a spot to back into and let him squeeze by.  Scary road!  We bought banana bread of course, but given my scary sugar numbers I am not partaking.  (much)

We then went to two back to back movies.  Identity Theft (so funny) and Emperor (so interesting).  Now I am tired and going to bed.  TTYL!!

I THOUGHT THIS WAS PRETTY...NEIGHBOURS GLASS OF WINE
