Don’t know what I’ll do when I run out of sumatriptan as my doctor won’t refill it. That’s life when you’re old, sick, and poor.

Nothing Good to Report
Yes, six months have passed since my last post. I had hoped beyond hope that 2016 would bring new successes. But, no. Weight loss has been extremely slow. From 151 lb. down to 144 lb. by the first of August. Heavy sigh. I spent most of the month of May doing a 30-day Richard Osborn…
Off to a Slow Start
This first month of 2016 has passed awfully fast! I did well the first week, going out for a walk every day, wearing my pedometer, and averaging 2,121 steps a day. (Only 7,879 steps to go!) Then it started raining and I started on nonstop migraines. For 20 days out of 31, I had debilitating…
Arthritis Flare, Left Hand
January 22, 2016 This has been an emotionally difficult month for me, having been “demoted” from Webmaster to Website Technician. Barley has been sick and peeing a lot on the bed—on my side!—making it impossible for me to sleep there. So I have grabbed blankets and made my “bed” in my recliner in the family…
A Look Back at the Year
Tonight is New Year’s Eve, and we’ve just come back from an early party at the senior citizens’ group. I was lucky that there were big bowls of green salad on the buffet table, so I filled my plate. Then I topped the salad with 1/4 c. of potato salad, just to see what would…

Two Months to Go
I still have my ups and downs. Some days I’m ecstatic to have blood glucose readings–even fasting–under 100 and to see the scales show less than 150 lbs.! Other days I’m distressed and discouraged to see blood glucose spikes too far above 140 and the scales again over 150. At the moment, I do not…
Another Milestone
First ever “normal” FBG. This is in spite of cutting my metformin dosage in half at the beginning of this month. (I was getting tired of the daily diarrhea!) Also, I’m aiming for 80% fat and 25g carbs. I’m putting up with the resulting migraines as long as I have migraine medication (sumatriptan). For now….
Weekend of Inspiration
My original intent for this blog was to post a minimum of once a month, at the beginning of each month, to report on my progress. After the disappointing lab test results in June, I was majorly bummed, not even wanting to post any more! I didn’t post in July, mainly due to vacation, nor…
