Busy week and blood sugars....

Today was judgement day.... went and had my first labs done three months after I was diagnosed with kidney damage and disease along with Type1 Diabetes, I went from a 13 on my A1C to a 6.5, within 'normal' guidelines. That and my other test showed no sugar or protein in my urine. I know, gross, but it's a kidney function test and I passed.  I am thrilled. It has been a busy week. Last week I had a rough week, it was all about the mania and no sleep. Now that I've got that nipped in the bud, I'm working on getting things into a routine for me to follow. I work well when I have a routine. Being out of the corporate workforce and at home, it's hard to follow a routine because I'm on MY schedule, not the corporate hibbity hoo's. That's why I did so well in the Navy, I was on a schedule (well for the most part). I also lost another 1.5 lbs. So psyched! This week has been full of a missing kitty which is now back home, hanging out in the VSP Suite at the Kings game (they won!), and running around Elk Grove and Folsom today. I went to the Whole Foods Market today. Overpriced. Way overpriced. I'll stick with my Farmer's Market and the Healthy Eating section at Bel Aire.

This week we tried a new vegetable, Brussels sprouts. I know, rabbit food you say...not. I roasted them. Cut the ends, lightly brushed them with garlic infused olive oil, added 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic, salt and pepper and roasted them in my dutch oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. They came out perfect.
