  • Today

    I slept better last night. Was able to go to bed at a reasonable time and go to sleep fairly quickly. That is an improvement!

    Food was better too, yesterday evening.

    Should I credit hypnosis?

  • Frye’s Electronics in Irving

    I think I mentioned this when I bought it, but I found a really great little cooler/heater — they say holds 9 cans, perfect for putting insulin and fruit juice in when you’re out shopping or on a trip.

    Amazon sells it for $79.99 — Fry’es had it for $39.99

    Here’s the deal though.

    If you live in Dallas, you would understand that the rudest, non-English speaking people work at the Frye’s on Northwest Highway. And they aren’t even cheaper though the store looks like it should be. (Okay, maybe an equally rude, non-English speaking group work at the Walmart at Midway and 635).

    They just opened a Frye’s in Irving on 635. The only thing the same between the two stores is the name and logo. The people are nice, friendly and helpful.

    Anyway, back to the cooler. There was a rebate on it. Nothing on the display, so I wasn’t expecting it, and was thrilled at the price as it was. Cashier insisted though, went and looked for it, and couldn’t find it. Frankly I was exhausted at that point, and again, didn’t really think it was happening.

    Well to my amazement, I got a rebate form in the mail today! I have NEVER had anyone do that before. $10.00!

  • Hyponosis

    I’ll know more later, but the hypnosis session went very very well.

  • I agree with this one!

    TCS: Tech – ‘No Matter What the Data Say’

    I just have trouble getting things so that I burn more — apparently had things perfect balance there for a while though!

  • Getting back

    Maybe I should get rid of titles on these….

    Worked out 5 days. 2 with personal trainer, 3 cardio days.

    Did 50 minutes today, trying to work up to 1 hours.

    Figured something out. Working out hasn’t been futile, it keeps me from gaining 5-10 pounds a week.

    Went and had a initial “survery” meeting with the hypnotist. Looking forward to that. Will see her for a session on Tuesday.

  • Note to self and all other diabetics

    Don’t get compliacent!

    Just because for 7 days you had the same readings, don’t think you will have the same on the 8th day. That’s how we end up in trouble.

  • ADA’s Take on Atkins

    American Diabetes Association – In The News

    Argh! The ADA STILL wants to stuff us with carbs, which means we STILL have to fight with the diabetes nuitrionists.

    Hopefully they will see the light!

  • Why I hate carbs…

    Okay, I don’t hate them but I avoid them.

  • Almost a good day!

    First, got picked to do district tests. I love that gig, and it’s an extra $400.

    I know where I am spending it. I’m giving the hypnosis one more good shot … I did some work with this lady when she was interning, and she and I are on a closer wave length. Lost touch with her, and finally found her again. (So I wasn’t looking THAT hard).

    Denton Hypnosis Center

    Hypnosis did me very well, but I have trust issues.

    More good things. Managed 15 minutes, then 10 minutes of ET. Hand is much better! Did a total of 40 minutes cardio today. Not my personal best but not bad for coming off surgery.

    7 more days of school. Last day is going to be very interesting.

  • I confess…I finally screwed up

    I’ve been a good little diabetic, taking care of things well…

    Until today. Got out to the car after school and guess what is laying on my passenger seat?

    My two pens of insulin. Both fairly new. I had done one dose of the mix, and had the other out of the frig since the 19th.

    and thank goodness I had switched the other insulin from vial to pen! This way, I only wasted 1/5th of my 30 day supply instead of the whole vial.

    Darn!
