5.6….at the airport now. Back in a few weeks. Stay safe everyone

5.7 today. Cloudy, sunny, windy….its that kind of day, about 20 degrees. Pretty nice really. I have entered the “energizer bunny” phase of holiday prep, I truly am a great multitasker! Suitcase is packed, fridge is near empty of anything that might spoil, plants are watered, neighbours have...

5.5 on Dexcom. Then my Dexcom threw a fit, blitzed out and stopped working. I was on the 12 hour grace period so that’s ok. Upper body and bike ride today, some last minute shopping. Cloudy today but nice, heading up to clean up the garden.

5.5 this morning. A wonderful fall day, some sun and some clouds. Lots of birds bustling about getting ready to head south. Gym was yoga and abs, a small walk too. Also walked the dog and did some housework….but been lazy other than that. Pretty sure we’re ready for the holiday , the weather...

6.0….blood prick. Disappointed for sure. Got my results back…and as anticipated my A1C went up, but still at prediabetic levels. 6.3 (sorry, don’t have the conversion). I did have the biopsy stress, excess of carbs and I didn’t get to donate blood….maybe that makes a difference. Had a very...

5.3 on Dexcom….not sure if I trust that but didn’t get time to do a blood test. Fall is definitely here, 4 degrees last night. Woke up at 1:30 to a bear in our yard. As large and fat as they are they are pretty agile…got over the fence with no problem. Don’t know why he was in the yard, we...

5.4 today. The weather is turning…feels cold outside! Just a sweet reminder of what is to come! Walking and upper body weights today. Off to walk the dog now then I NEED to do some more Japan planning and practice the few words I am learning…this is tough!

5.5 this morning. Surprised because with my “off” belly I just made some almond flour pancakes and a gluten free carrot muffin (very little sweetener). That’s more carbs and far less fat and protein than I normally eat…and I was fine. Feeling better this morning. Had an 8 o’clock dentist...

5.8 today. Oh my belly is not happy with me! Made jalapeño poppers last night with my lovely home grown peppers…they were so good but for some reason my gut rebelled. ,

5.4 this morning…yippee. No carbs save for the quarter apple and a couple of tiny dill pickles. Pleased my body responded to this. Woohoo, first day of fall, the weather is stunning! Although very chilly this morning (7 degrees) it’s sunny and will get to 25 today. Gym was a 6.5 mile bike...

Weird…but 6.5 today. I certainly won’t take the blame on this one….no carbs yesterday and tons of activity. This morning was abs and yoga. A meat filled lunch with one quarter of a small apple and some almond butter. Best snack ever. A cloudy day but still warm…the late summer amazing...

6.4 again…..b7t good news, the crackers are gone. Gym was lower body and a six mile bike ride….it pooped me out. Just finished lunch and will walk the dog shortly. Sun is shining but you can feel fallin the air…the crisp mornings are a dead giveaway.

6.4….entirely my own fault ….thise crackers, aka crack, will soon be gone. Sunny today but there is certainly a smoke smell in the air…those late summer forest fires are to blame. Nothing very local but smoke coming in from the USA and other parts of BC

5.8 today. I was surprised, thought it would be higher as I ate after my MRI last night, around 7. I ate carbs too…some almond flour crackers. So I’m happy. Another lovely day…our lovely late summer is continuing. Went to the local provincial park today for a nice walk. The park is closing...

5.8 ( I think)….forgot to post earlier. Another unbelievable day here, sunny..actually hot (30) and just oh so nice for this time of year. Have an MRI scan of my broken pancreas tonight, looking forward to that (honest). Of course I’m hoping nothing has changed. Spent the afternoon (after dog...
