2 days in 1

Because my internet was down, I didn't blog my meals for Thursday.  So I will combine Thursday and Friday here.  I had a visit with the nurse practitioner at my doctor's office yesterday.  I have not lost weight!@!! Yeah!!!!  I have not gained weight. !! Yeah!!!!!  So everybody is happy!!!  This means I am probably striking close to the right balance on my meal plan.  Now in normal circumstances the meal plan I am on, would probably cause me to lose weight.  And actually my scale says I lost 3 lbs, but since my doctor's scale didn't say that, all the world is happy. lol

So Thursday, I was pretty good and kept my levels decent, although a little high after dinner.  However Friday, well, I did well for breakfast and dinner, but lunch?  Ha ha -- it was splurge day. :)

Started out pretty normal.  I had some cheerios and almond milk.

Lunch was simple, PB&J on whole grain with 1/2 a banana.  As you can see I split the plate with my youngest.  PB&J is really hard on sugar levels, so I can't have a whole sandwich, but I really wanted one, so I just ate less.

You will notice there wasn't a snack, and dinner is pretty small.  I fell on Saturday.  I mean epic parking lot fall.  I didn't think that anything more than my skinned knee would show up.  Wednesday night the back pain started. By Thursday I could barely move.  I have a hard time eating when I am in pain. All I want to do is sleep.  So cooking was out of the question.  I pulled out some chicken patties and made the family sandwiches and then grabbed easy sides.  I chose not to have a bun.  Then I had 2 bites of the patty and chose not to eat that either.  I don't know what that was, but it was not chicken!  Anyway.  I ate the cheese and the rest of what you see on this plate, plus another helping of beans.

Later, when I got hungry, I had 2 handfuls of this.  Yep, straight out of the box.  Come on guys- this is real life. We all sometimes just eat some cereal out of the box. :)

Breakfast on Friday started out normal. A yummy protein shake with banana and strawberries added to the mix.

Lunch was Red Robin.  This is the burger that I had. I ate it all- well almost. I also had sweet potato fries and part of my child's strawberry shake.  Yes, I did just have an entire day's worth of calories at one sitting, and I enjoyed it. 

I had 2 for a snack and then 2 after dinner. Yummy.

Dinner was yummy and diabetic friendly. A little rice, some fresh pineapple and 2 grilled chicken kabobs.  I will post the recipe later. It was yummy.  Later that night I started to feel really sick.  I tested my blood sugar and it was only at 74.  OUCH!  Seth made me a pancake and fried egg, pronto. I felt much better. :)
