now the pig is crying real big tears.

the stupid scale said I actually gained 2 pounds this weigh in after 2 weeks

and 3 days! the first time I gained and didn't lose since the first of March. I

suppose I could blame it on being sick for a week and on meds to make me feel

better, but I believe in no excuses unless you are bed ridden and I wasn't that.

did miss the no where bike ride a few days when the sickness had the best of me.

suppose I should feel good that only 2 pounds was put on. also noticed my

numbers were running between 105 and 115 for a solid 2 weeks. still grate

numbers, but can be better. feeling better, but still not on top of my game as I

should be. got a good report from the ticker doc and if you are still kicking,

then life is good. so the weight on July fourth is 286 instead of the 284 it was

2 weeks back. going to take President Dave's advice and not worry over my lost

of weight like I was for a while. actually going to only report it at the

beginning of each month now. every 2 weeks puts my mind to much on just the

weight lost instead of my over all health. got the train rolling down the track

in a good way now and actually should after 4 solid months of making grate

choices. got to be accountable to some one other then my self or I will get lost

for sure. will certainly be reporting the 270's on the first of August. can't

say where in the 70's I will be, but any where in that area will work for me. my

diabetes doc did tell me to only test twice a day, but when the nurse heard

that, she waited until he left the room and ask me how many strips did I want

her to put down that I needed a day? glad the nurse has the right idea and

doesn't do exactly what the saw bones said. she put me down for eight a day so

Medicare will know. even though I only use 4 or 6 a day, Medicare still wishes

to know how many you can have each month. the saw bones figured since I got

control of my diabetes, then twice a day to test was good enough. he and I can

agree to disagree and still get along really good. done very well on the fourth

of July and went to no cook outs at all. always hit the sack before fire works

go off and no need to get excited about any of that any more. sleep seems to be

most important now days. now I'm not really going to do this, but told my

diabetes doc that the heart doc gave me some little pills to take from time to

time when I'm retaining to much fluid. so I told him I was going to take one a

day for 3 days so I could pee off the four pounds that then will show up on the

scales that I lost 2 pounds instead of gained them. he thought I was for real

and gave ma a doctor lecture. kind of funny how he really believed I was going

to really do it. once in the hospital back in 07 when I had the heart attack

they shot that peeing meds in my IV and I actually dropped 27 pounds in only 2

days! now that is how you loose weight in a hurry! just shows you how much

liquid we really do carry around in our bodies all the time. just think? if we

could get rid of the 25 pounds of packed up poop we carry around and the 25

pounds of water at the same time? we would all drop 50 pounds in only 2 or 3

days! how cool does a 3 day diet sound? ok, I will stop with the ramble and get

back to my normal life of being the little woman while the wife works to bring

home the bacon. taking care of a house is a job that never ends. all you do to

day, starts over again to morrow. the longer you let it go, the worse it gets.

Hey Mark! 2 pounds after being sick, and out of routine, is not bad at all!

Your numbers are still great! Give yourself a break huh!!

ever seen the old movie the fly? that fellow put his head on a flies body

and the flies head on his body. well he didn't like having a flies head on his

body, so he laid his head under a grate big press and smashed it off! I don't

have a huge press, but could run my head through my table saw? the blade will

raise up pretty far. well then I would have to be on some mighty strong drugs to

run my head across that big sharp blade. I will be fine. no more tears now.

think I will go to the nearest casino and win some cash to make my self feel

better. I mean what is 2 little pounds anyway? I bet back in my crazy day's, I

could gain 2 pounds in the case of beer that I could throw down in a few hours!

Now Mark! You know that if you run your head through the table saw, you

will have two heads to deal with! Smile!

now the pig is crying real big tears.

the stupid scale said I actually gained 2 pounds this weigh in after 2

weeks and 3 days! the first time I gained and didn't lose since the first

March. I suppose I could blame it on being sick for a week and on meds to

make me feel better, but I believe in no excuses unless you are bed ridden

solid 2 weeks. still grate numbers, but can be better. feeling better, but

still not on top of my game as I should be. got a good report from the

on

July fourth is 286 instead of the 284 it was 2 weeks back. going to take

President Dave's advice and not worry over my lost of weight like I was

for

a while. actually going to only report it at the beginning of each month

now. every 2 weeks puts my mind to much on just the weight lost instead of

my over all health. got the train rolling down the track in a good way now

and actually should after 4 solid months of making grate choices. got to

be

accountable to some one other then my self or I will get lost for sure.

will

certainly be reporting the 270's on the first of August. can't say where

in

the 70's I will be, but any where in that area will work for me. my

diabetes

doc did tell me to only test twice a day, but when the nurse heard that,

she

waited until he left the room and ask me how many strips did I want her to

put down that I needed a day? glad the nurse has the right idea and

I got control of my diabetes, then twice a day to test was good enough. he

and I can agree to disagree and still get along really good. done very

well

on the fourth of July and went to no cook outs at all. always hit the sack

before fire works go off and no need to get excited about any of that any

more. sleep seems to be most important now days. now I'm not really going

to

do this, but told my diabetes doc that the heart doc gave me some little

pills to take from time to time when I'm retaining to much fluid. so I

told

him I was going to take one a day for 3 days so I could pee off the four

pounds that then will show up on the scales that I lost 2 pounds instead

of

gained them. he thought I was for real and gave ma a doctor lecture. kind

of

funny how he really believed I was going to really do it. once in the

hospital back in 07 when I had the heart attack they shot that peeing meds

in my IV and I actually dropped 27 pounds in only 2 days! now that is how

you loose weight in a hurry! just shows you how much liquid we really do

of

the 25 pounds of packed up poop we carry around and the 25 pounds of water

cool

normal life of being the little woman while the wife works to bring home

Hey Mark! I know what you are going through. I've had similar experiences.

Even when doing things the same I have not lost an ounce or even gain a bit.

Just last week I ate less and exercised more, and lost only .4 pounds. If I

had any hair to spare, I could of pulled it out. But I remembered your P E

A C E strategy. P is first and stands for prayer., so pray about everything

and worry about nothing, (Philippians 4:6).

Subject: now the pig is crying real big tears.

the stupid scale said I actually gained 2 pounds this weigh in after 2 weeks

and 3 days! the first time I gained and didn't lose since the first of

March. I suppose I could blame it on being sick for a week and on meds to

make me feel better, but I believe in no excuses unless you are bed ridden

and I wasn't that. did miss the no where bike ride a few days when the

sickness had the best of me. suppose I should feel good that only 2 pounds

was put on. also noticed my numbers were running between 105 and 115 for a

solid 2 weeks. still grate numbers, but can be better. feeling better, but

still not on top of my game as I should be. got a good report from the

ticker doc and if you are still kicking, then life is good. so the weight on

July fourth is 286 instead of the 284 it was 2 weeks back. going to take

President Dave's advice and not worry over my lost of weight like I was for

a while. actually going to only report it at the beginning of each month

now. every 2 weeks puts my mind to much on just the weight lost instead of

my over all health. got the train rolling down the track in a good way now

and actually should after 4 solid months of making grate choices. got to be

accountable to some one other then my self or I will get lost for sure. will

certainly be reporting the 270's on the first of August. can't say where in

the 70's I will be, but any where in that area will work for me. my diabetes

doc did tell me to only test twice a day, but when the nurse heard that, she

waited until he left the room and ask me how many strips did I want her to

put down that I needed a day? glad the nurse has the right idea and doesn't

do exactly what the saw bones said. she put me down for eight a day so

Medicare will know. even though I only use 4 or 6 a day, Medicare still

wishes to know how many you can have each month. the saw bones figured since

I got control of my diabetes, then twice a day to test was good enough. he

and I can agree to disagree and still get along really good. done very well

on the fourth of July and went to no cook outs at all. always hit the sack

before fire works go off and no need to get excited about any of that any

more. sleep seems to be most important now days. now I'm not really going to

do this, but told my diabetes doc that the heart doc gave me some little

pills to take from time to time when I'm retaining to much fluid. so I told

him I was going to take one a day for 3 days so I could pee off the four

pounds that then will show up on the scales that I lost 2 pounds instead of

gained them. he thought I was for real and gave ma a doctor lecture. kind of

funny how he really believed I was going to really do it. once in the

hospital back in 07 when I had the heart attack they shot that peeing meds

in my IV and I actually dropped 27 pounds in only 2 days! now that is how

you loose weight in a hurry! just shows you how much liquid we really do

carry around in our bodies all the time. just think? if we could get rid of

the 25 pounds of packed up poop we carry around and the 25 pounds of water

at the same time? we would all drop 50 pounds in only 2 or 3 days! how cool

Mark,

It could well be fluid. You're probably drinking more with all this hot weather.

Also, are you retaining fluids? Are you on any kind of diuretic? Most of us are,

because it helps lower blood pressure, and this helps our kidneys.

As I said before, if you're doing the right things--exercising, eating healthy,

monitoring your blood sugars and keeping them in a good range--don't worry about

your weight. I'm guessing, but perhaps it will take a long time for your weight

to come down. And if you're a big guy, somewhere in the 200s is probably an okay

weight. Especially if a lot of it is muscle.

they shot that peeing meds in my IV and I actually dropped 27 pounds in only 2

days! now that is how you loose weight in a hurry! just shows you how much

liquid we really do carry around in our bodies all the time. just think? if we

could get rid of the 25 pounds of packed up poop we carry around and the 25

pounds of water at the same time? we would all drop 50 pounds in only 2 or 3

days! how cool does a 3 day diet sound? ok, I will stop with the ramble and get

back to my normal life of being the little woman while the wife works to bring

home the bacon. taking care of a house is a job that never ends. all you do to

day, starts over again to morrow. the longer you let it go, the worse it gets.

[Guest guest]

that is exactly correct my fine Sir! never stop the Prayer and all the rest

will follow as it should. we humans just really enjoy giving it to God and then

taking it back to continue chewing on it. anything in God's timing is worth

having and waiting on!

now the pig is crying real big tears.

the stupid scale said I actually gained 2 pounds this weigh in after 2 weeks

and 3 days! the first time I gained and didn't lose since the first of

March. I suppose I could blame it on being sick for a week and on meds to

make me feel better, but I believe in no excuses unless you are bed ridden

and I wasn't that. did miss the no where bike ride a few days when the

sickness had the best of me. suppose I should feel good that only 2 pounds

was put on. also noticed my numbers were running between 105 and 115 for a

solid 2 weeks. still grate numbers, but can be better. feeling better, but

still not on top of my game as I should be. got a good report from the

ticker doc and if you are still kicking, then life is good. so the weight on

July fourth is 286 instead of the 284 it was 2 weeks back. going to take

President Dave's advice and not worry over my lost of weight like I was for

a while. actually going to only report it at the beginning of each month

now. every 2 weeks puts my mind to much on just the weight lost instead of

my over all health. got the train rolling down the track in a good way now

and actually should after 4 solid months of making grate choices. got to be

accountable to some one other then my self or I will get lost for sure. will

certainly be reporting the 270's on the first of August. can't say where in

the 70's I will be, but any where in that area will work for me. my diabetes

doc did tell me to only test twice a day, but when the nurse heard that, she

waited until he left the room and ask me how many strips did I want her to

put down that I needed a day? glad the nurse has the right idea and doesn't

do exactly what the saw bones said. she put me down for eight a day so

Medicare will know. even though I only use 4 or 6 a day, Medicare still

wishes to know how many you can have each month. the saw bones figured since

I got control of my diabetes, then twice a day to test was good enough. he

and I can agree to disagree and still get along really good. done very well

on the fourth of July and went to no cook outs at all. always hit the sack

before fire works go off and no need to get excited about any of that any

more. sleep seems to be most important now days. now I'm not really going to

do this, but told my diabetes doc that the heart doc gave me some little

pills to take from time to time when I'm retaining to much fluid. so I told

him I was going to take one a day for 3 days so I could pee off the four

pounds that then will show up on the scales that I lost 2 pounds instead of

gained them. he thought I was for real and gave ma a doctor lecture. kind of

funny how he really believed I was going to really do it. once in the

Mark,

Your numbers are not so bad and I am sure they wil be taken care of by the

time you weigh yourself at the first of August.

I have fallen off the wagon and will continue to be off of it for a little

while, probably until after the Memorial on July 19.

I will talk to people more about as time goes on. I know that if I

get accepted to the dog school they will make sure I get on that wagon again

when I go there.

Take care and all the best to you and the others who are much more in

control than I am at this minute. I do notice that my right ankle is not

bothering me so much any more because I am keeping up with my medication for

the swelling. I am trying to exercise more.

But do not be so hard on yourself. I was 162 pounds even on Monday when I

weighed which is 3 pounds lower than what I average. I am afraid of testing

myself but will get back soon, I promise.

In other news, my insurance company decided to pick a new company to supply

me with a new Prodigy No Code meter and test strips. They say they are

compatible with Prodigy Voice. I want to get two testings with the two

meters to see how accurate they are. It says this new meter speaks other

languages.

But you can't hear the dates and history and stuff. No big deal, I should

start keeping a chart in my computer anyhow.

So this place is called Healthy Living Medical Supply. So I had to call CCS

Medical and cancel them because Total Health Care slammed me in a way.

They were really nice about it but Total Health Care never told them. It is

kind of weird.

OK, I will stop my rambling.

We're rooting for you, !

What's up with this " no code " Prodigy meter? Is it fully audible like the

Prodigy Voice? Remember, you are in the driver's seat (for the most part), so

don't let the insurance company dictate how you should manage your diabetes.

This is really a pet peeve with me, and it's too late in the evening for me to

get going, other than to say what I just said.

We're rooting for you, !

What's up with this " no code " Prodigy meter? Is it fully audible like the

Prodigy Voice? Remember, you are in the driver's seat (for the most part), so

don't let the insurance company dictate how you should manage your diabetes.

This is really a pet peeve with me, and it's too late in the evening for me to

get going, other than to say what I just said.

Mark,

Are you turning into the fly body with the man's head, yelling " help me,

help me " !

Subject: Re: now the pig is crying real big tears.

ever seen the old movie the fly? that fellow put his head on a flies body

and the flies head on his body. well he didn't like having a flies head on

his body, so he laid his head under a grate big press and smashed it off! I

don't have a huge press, but could run my head through my table saw? the

blade will raise up pretty far. well then I would have to be on some mighty

strong drugs to run my head across that big sharp blade. I will be fine. no

more tears now. think I will go to the nearest casino and win some cash to

make my self feel better. I mean what is 2 little pounds anyway? I bet back

in my crazy day's, I could gain 2 pounds in the case of beer that I could

throw down in a few hours!

now the pig is crying real big tears.

the stupid scale said I actually gained 2 pounds this weigh in after 2

weeks and 3 days! the first time I gained and didn't lose since the first of

March. I suppose I could blame it on being sick for a week and on meds to

make me feel better, but I believe in no excuses unless you are bed ridden

and I wasn't that. did miss the no where bike ride a few days when the

sickness had the best of me. suppose I should feel good that only 2 pounds

was put on. also noticed my numbers were running between 105 and 115 for a

solid 2 weeks. still grate numbers, but can be better. feeling better, but

still not on top of my game as I should be. got a good report from the

ticker doc and if you are still kicking, then life is good. so the weight on

July fourth is 286 instead of the 284 it was 2 weeks back. going to take

President Dave's advice and not worry over my lost of weight like I was for

a while. actually going to only report it at the beginning of each month

now. every 2 weeks puts my mind to much on just the weight lost instead of

my over all health. got the train rolling down the track in a good way now

and actually should after 4 solid months of making grate choices. got to be

accountable to some one other then my self or I will get lost for sure. will

certainly be reporting the 270's on the first of August. can't say where in

the 70's I will be, but any where in that area will work for me. my diabetes

doc did tell me to only test twice a day, but when the nurse heard that, she

waited until he left the room and ask me how many strips did I want her to

put down that I needed a day? glad the nurse has the right idea and doesn't

do exactly what the saw bones said. she put me down for eight a day so

Medicare will know. even though I only use 4 or 6 a day, Medicare still

wishes to know how many you can have each month. the saw bones figured since

I got control of my diabetes, then twice a day to test was good enough. he

and I can agree to disagree and still get along really good. done very well

on the fourth of July and went to no cook outs at all. always hit the sack

before fire works go off and no need to get excited about any of that any

more. sleep seems to be most important now days. now I'm not really going to

do this, but told my diabetes doc that the heart doc gave me some little

pills to take from time to time when I'm retaining to much fluid. so I told

him I was going to take one a day for 3 days so I could pee off the four

pounds that then will show up on the scales that I lost 2 pounds instead of

gained them. he thought I was for real and gave ma a doctor lecture. kind of

funny how he really believed I was going to really do it. once in the

hospital back in 07 when I had the heart attack they shot that peeing meds

in my IV and I actually dropped 27 pounds in only 2 days! now that is how

you loose weight in a hurry! just shows you how much liquid we really do

carry around in our bodies all the time. just think? if we could get rid of

the 25 pounds of packed up poop we carry around and the 25 pounds of water

at the same time? we would all drop 50 pounds in only 2 or 3 days! how cool

does a 3 day diet sound? ok, I will stop with the ramble and get back to my

normal life of being the little woman while the wife works to bring home the

bacon. taking care of a house is a job that never ends. all you do to day,

starts over again to morrow. the longer you let it go, the worse it gets.
