Weight after the trip
Good news, my weight is the lowest I’ve seen in years. I started concentrating on losing weight about a year ago this week, after seeing my weight at several doctors. I’ve lost about 35 pounds in the year.

Diabetes traveling overseas
One good thing about the trip is that diabetes didn’t get in the way. I will put the cause of that on the new pump.
Several times I used the food list on the pump but a lot of the time I guessed and corrected later.
I’m going to talk to CDE before I do any more tweaking but I do like the results I’ve seen so far.

Sleep
Right now my biggest issue is sleep. Periodically I forget how to sleep. No one understands this.
Weird things trigger it. This time its the trip and the other stress I am going through.
I honestly don’t know how to fix this.

Trip to almost hell
It started with a flight delay in Dallas. Our layover was about 1 hour in Gatwick, but the flight was delayed by two hours.
I’ve got 2 minutes left on a Wifi card, and will update more on my Treo.

Trip to almost hell
I’m coming home tomorrow as the trip has been the absolute trip from hell.
I should have gotten off the plane in Dallas, and the trip just kept getting worse and worse.
Somehow Rich convinced American Airlines to put me on a flight to Zurick and back to Dallas tomorrow after noon.
More details on my diabetes blog when I get back.

Trip to Monte Carlo
I decided to change the pump time when I got on the plane. I will have to watch things since I have dawn syndrome so bad.

Cure? for Type 1
This won’t help Type 2’s, but it might help Type 1’s.
The question that need to be answered though is
a) does it solve the problem that started diabetes in the first place? Since we don’t know why Type 1 diabetics develop it in the first place…
b) Are anti-rejection drugs better than taking insulin? Since I’m fairly stable on insulin, I’d pass, but then I’m not a Type 1 either.
It’s an interesting development though. Other countries are also on this path.

Argh!!
Man, I woke up hurting, I’m predicting my heel spurs will be back and bothering me on Saturday, if not tomorrow.
By the way, since the challenge ended, and everyone started stressing me out at work, I’ve decided not to worry about my food. It’s been a good decision, and my weight is staying stable.
I’m not logging food until I get back from Monte Carlo. And I will probably not do my strength exercises while I am gone, but I’m going to try to do as much cardio as I can.

Argh!
I’m exhausted. But doing okay. I’m trying very hard not to fall in a common teacher trap, which is to tell yourself you’ve been on your feet all day, not exercise, and lose fitness level. That’s one thing they warned us about in teaching training.
I ran 7 classes of students through my computer lab today, doing a career activity. My kids were off with a sub doing a written activity. Don’t ask.
The planner forgot I wasn’t getting a planning period — will get one tomorrow at least. I don’t know if I get one Friday or not. It was a definite, all day on your feet job. I go through this at the beginning of each year, but by now, the most I have to tell my kids is to reboot when their computers act up. With these kids, I had to help them get logged on again and to the right website, so it was hard.
I still came home and did my 35 minutes on the treadmill but my feet heard so bad, I had to do it 4 minutes at a time.
