What's on your Menu Today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?
Good morning gang, I hope everyone has had a wonderful week. I am hosting a birthday party for my little one this weekend, since his birthday is on Monday. He's turning 3 years old. This is the most recent picture of him. My mom sent it yesterday when he fell asleep for his nap. Isn't he a cutie patootie?
Today is Friday and I'm glad for the weekend. I feel good about how my week has gone, though I'm about to get real up in here. I went on a binge last night. I don't know if it was because I hit my lowest weight ever yesterday and it freaked me out, or if it was because we were talking about food at work yesterday and I just had so much stuff in the house that could tempt me. I ate chocolate, licorice and popcorn all after my dinner. I also had a glass of white wine. So, I went to bed at 9pm, since I've been exhausted since I started getting up so early. I woke up at around 11:30 shaking and covered in sweat. I kid you not, this is the worst I've ever felt in my life. I got up and ran downstairs to the kitchen where I ate half a chicken breast and a small piece of pie. I checked my blood sugar about 5 minutes afterwards, because I was finally starting to stop shaking and it was in the 50's. Talk about scary low blood sugar in the middle of the night. So, I have learned my lesson and will be vigilant. I am not perfect (as you all know about me) but last night was extreme with the amount of junk I ate, and my reaction scared me enough to make sure that I don't repeat that again.
Here I am today with a binge hangover... I'm so much a work in progress.

1st- sleeping babies, nothing more precious
2nd- If we learn from our mistakes, they are good lessons. Unfortunately you ate those things after dinner- when I make some poor choices, or something that I just say-eh-that wasn't the best choice- it then becomes my meal.
Being you have glucose monitor I am assuming you have had blood sugar problems before... So need to figure out what works. I believe Hala has talked about having small amount of nut butter before bed helps keep blood sugar good overnight. (Hala- correct me if I am misquoting here)
We are all works in progress....

I was insulin dependent diabetic before surgery, and my diabetes has been in remission since. I have felt icky before, when I ate something sweet and I attributed that to RH, but after last night I KNOW that my past wasn't really serious Reactive Hypoglycemia. Last night was just stupid of me. I knew better than to eat all of that junk, hell, I knew better than to buy it. Normally, if I was to have a snack in the evening, it would have been one of those things, not ALL of them. Add on top of all the simple carbs, I had a glass of semi-dry riesling. I think the combination of all of those was like a magic mix of crap that sent me spiraling.
Thank goodness I ate and felt better this morning, but it honestly terrified me how horrible I felt.

Last week my wife bought a bag of Frito's for herself and I made the stupid ass move of having just over a handful I felt like I was gonna die. Holy crap, it hurt so frikin bad!!!! Not that I like it but I was grateful for the very painful reminder to stick to the rules. I most certainly will not being eating any crappy food for a very long time if ever!

Good morning Daisy and menu friends,happy Friday!! No big plans for the weekend, a little Christmas shopping. Hopefully time with the grandkids. Oh and I want or need to get a new mattress. Since I've been losing weight my back (across my bra strap) has been giving me a lot of grief. Also my tailbone is so sore, especially when I wake up and I've been sleeping on my back. Does this get better? If I was to come back an animal I'd be a cat or dog. Hopefully I'd get a wonderful family and would be spoiled like our animals have been.
QOTD: Here is a picture of the tattoo I had done a few weeks ago in memory of my daughter Meghan.
