On this blog, I'm making a goal to blog each day this month about my diet and exercise.&nbsp; On <a href="http://www.lildeanfam.com/">my other blog</a>, I'm making a goal to blog about one thing I'm grateful for each day in the month of November.&nbsp; <br /><br />I didn't write down what I ate yesterday.&nbsp; It wasn't a lot but it was way too much sugar.&nbsp; I had troubles with my blood sugar and a mild emotional break down.&nbsp; <br /><br />Today I'm doing well but that Halloween candy is sure not making things easy.&nbsp;

Give me medication which should bring my levels back to normal, and reduce my symptoms including the weight gain. <br />What's the good news?&nbsp; I've been diagnosed and I'll receive treatment.&nbsp; The treatment should also aid in my metabolism and therefore my diabetes too.&nbsp; <br />What's the bad news?&nbsp; I'll have to take another prescription medicine.&nbsp; Most likely for the rest of my life.&nbsp; <br />What's interesting about it?&nbsp; People who have one endocrine disorder are more prone to having another.&nbsp; I recently learned this on a podcast for mothers.&nbsp; There was a featured story on a young girl with Type 1 diabetes (the kind which I have) who was diagnosed because she'd already had another endocrine disorder; Graves Disease.&nbsp; <br /><br />I'm grateful I was able to find help and hopeful that I'll start feeling more normal soon.&nbsp;&nbsp; The past two weeks&nbsp;have been particularly poor.&nbsp; Today I've felt so tired and&nbsp;lethargic.&nbsp; I'm glad it's&nbsp;more than just adjusting to staying at home.&nbsp;<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-1090020888556754979?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-90762874589773479552010-10-05T10:12:00.000-06:002010-10-05T10:12:26.133-06:00I could write an entire post dedicated to my 30 minute experience at the pool this morning.&nbsp; I think I might just dump my thoughts here too because no one else wants to hear me ramble on.&nbsp; <br />I was so pumped that after 8 weeks of the pool being closed it was finally open again.&nbsp; It is just the best form of exercise for me and the time, while brutal- at least for me, works out the best.&nbsp; <br />They had closed for resurfacing and I can't believe what they put on that pool.&nbsp; Mark my words this is going to be a huge mistake.&nbsp; They put in some kind of plastic lining on the pool and there are already air bubbles everywhere.&nbsp; The lane lines and marks on the wall are taped over the top of the lining and you can tell that those things are going to peel right off.&nbsp; I hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid they're going to have major problems with this crap.<br />The dumb life guard who works at 5:30 am decided he had to sweep one of the two available lanes and so I had to go over to the&nbsp;lane where there were no lane lines.&nbsp; I wonder if you know what those lines are for anyway?&nbsp; Besides holding you in your lane, or marking where you are swimming, they happen to absorb a great deal of waves or wake created by other swimmers.&nbsp; I was there about 15 minutes when some guy 100 pounds heavier than me shows up and swims in the lane over (no lane lines).&nbsp; He is creating so much wake that I'm all over the place and feeling super dragged down from him.&nbsp; Arg!&nbsp; That is the point of the lane line.&nbsp; I was the first one there today and I would have really liked to have swum in the first lane.&nbsp; <br />If that lifeguard does that tomorrow, I'm going to ask him to move!&nbsp; <br />I didn't feel great in the water which wasn't really surprising because I haven't swum laps for quite some time.&nbsp; I hope I'll start getting back to where I was in a week or two.&nbsp; <br />I did 30 minutes and swam about 800 yards.&nbsp; Before the pool closed I was up to about 40 minutes and 1200 yards, so I've got some improving to do.&nbsp; Sadly, I can only afford 40 minutes before my husband has to leave but I plan on getting back to where I was before.&nbsp; <br />I'm just really glad the pool is back open again.&nbsp;<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-9076287458977347955?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-53705943933033238702010-10-04T19:35:00.000-06:002010-10-04T19:35:12.212-06:00Well, what can I say?&nbsp; I've been having a really rough time with my diabetes lately.&nbsp; Things are getting back to normal, I hope!&nbsp; I've had some other health issues lately too so I went to the doc today.&nbsp; He is running some tests and I should find out the results by Thursday.&nbsp; I hope that they are conclusive tests and that I don't have to have any further blood drawn.&nbsp; No body likes that.&nbsp; Today I had two different blood samples taken and was given my flu shot.&nbsp; I feel as though I've been sufficiently poked and prodded.&nbsp; <br />I'm planning on hitting the pool tomorrow morning.&nbsp; It has been closed since the middle of August so that is several weeks without regular exercise.&nbsp; I'm excited and a little nervous.&nbsp; These other health problems have left me feeling very tired and even lethargic.&nbsp; I'm hopeful that I'll be able to wake up and stay awake tomorrow.&nbsp; <br />Excited to exercise.&nbsp; Also looking forward to figuring out these health issues.&nbsp; And maybe once all that is said and done I can start losing some weight.&nbsp; <br />How are the rest of you doing?&nbsp; <br />I hardly ate anything today, I was busy, and didn't have much of an appetite.&nbsp;<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-5370594393303323870?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-20431255023345261642010-09-29T14:56:00.000-06:002010-09-29T14:56:55.018-06:00Well, because I ate so horribly yesterday, I went to bed with a high blood sugar, I think it was about 270.&nbsp; I bolused (took insulin) for the high and figured I'd wake up somwehere in the 160 range.&nbsp; Wrong!&nbsp; I was 232.&nbsp; I ate my usual breakfast of a slim fast shake and banana and went to volunteer at the school for a few hours while Ryan was in Kindergarten.&nbsp; <br /><br />-Side note- I was in a really crummy mood because yesterday hadn't gone very well and I really didn't want to go over to the school at all but I had promised a few teachers I would go.&nbsp; I didn't spend as much time as I usually do on myself in the morning and it showed.&nbsp; I looked like junk.&nbsp; And people noticed.&nbsp; <br /><br />Then I started feeling pretty poorly, and people could really tell.&nbsp; I had a weird chest pain and what felt like a fever.&nbsp; Being diabetic, I automatically thought it was my sugar.&nbsp; I decided that my attempt at getting anything done at school was futile and figured I'd better get home and get some more rest (didn't sleep well last night either which is pretty normal for me).&nbsp; On my way out into the parking lot I figured I'd check on my pump site.&nbsp; It was disconnected.&nbsp; Which meant that it had probably been that way since I put my shorts on, before I ate breakfast, and bloused for breakfast.&nbsp; Translation: I hadn't gotten any insulin to cover for my high, nor my breakfast, nor for the past three hours.&nbsp; I KNEW my sugar was high but I only live about three minutes for the school so I decided to just throw the toddler in the car and check it when I got home.&nbsp; It was 521!&nbsp; (Normal range is 80-120).&nbsp; I tested again just to be sure and my meter was only 3 points different.&nbsp; <br /><br />So, I'm feeling pretty crappy and now I know why.&nbsp; I took a shot of 16 units, bloused 2 units with a 1 hour reminder so that I could check it to see how far it had come down.&nbsp; <br /><br />It has now been about 6 hours and I'm still running in the 300 range.&nbsp; I ate a few crackers for lunch and drank 2 diet cokes and 1 water.&nbsp; I'm hoping my sugars will be down in the 100 range here pretty soon.&nbsp; <br /><br />What's really a bummer about highs is the inevitable low that follows.&nbsp; I'll end up with too much insulin in my system, and probably not enough food, and will go low.&nbsp; It will probably happen during my tutoring session which is scheduled in about an hour from now.&nbsp; Then I won't be able to think straight and the kid will think I'm a weirdo.&nbsp; <br /><br />Ah, the roller coaster of diabetes.&nbsp;<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-2043125502334526164?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-48353218499282960152010-09-28T19:04:00.000-06:002010-09-28T19:04:10.173-06:00Saturday<br />fiber one cereal<br />turkey and cheese on wheat<br />apple<br />cheeseburger<br />yogurt<br /><br />Sunday<br />fiber one cereal<br />peanut butter and apricot jelly on wheat<br />waffles and sugar free syrup<br />wheat thins with honey &amp;

A little about me to introduce myself to the readers… I’m&nbsp;30 and have 2 kids. I’ve had diabetes for&nbsp; a little over 9 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have type 1 diabetes which means that I am insulin resistant (ie, I have to take insulin to control my sugars and essentially stay alive). Because I was diagnosed as an adult (20 years old) I was basically expected to figure things out for myself. At the time of my diagnosis, I pretty much went information crazy. I looked up everything I could find about diabetes and learned a lot. I continue to read a lot about the condition and find it very fascinating. I love to talk about diabetes and how it affects my life. I also blog about my diabetes occasionally. You can check out those posts on <a href="http://www.lildeanfam.com/">my blog</a> by clicking on the diabetes label link (found in the footer). <br /><br /><br />Life post-diagnosis has changed in some ways greatly and in other ways very minimally. I can still eat like pretty much every one else, I just have to monitor all of my carbohydrates. As a diabetic, I’m concerned with all sugars: glucose, fructose, and lactose. But what I have to pay attention to most on a food label or food item that I’m eating is the total number of carbohydrates. I count carbs in everything I eat and drink so that I know how much insulin to take. My diet is not completely carbohydrate-free and I don’t really recommend that sort of an approach. <br /><br />Having children is one way that diabetes greatly impacted my life. I have to monitor my sugars extremely carefully and work really hard at keeping them within a very normal range. I’ve had two healthy baby boys and they both weighed about 8.5 pounds. Their lungs were fully developed and neither boy suffered any post-birth effects from my diabetes. These are my greatest diabetic accomplishments. While living with diabetes can be difficult, there are even days when I forget that I am diabetic, and for that, I am very thankful. It wouldn’t be possible without the help of all of the wonderful diabetic advancements and improvements science has brought us. <br /><br />Here are my tips for going sugar free!<br /><br />1.Decide what kind of carbs you want to cut, and then set some goals. <br /><br />2.Cut the unnecessary carbs. Desserts and things high in sugar often have an alternative. Be aware that some things that say "sugar-free" or "no sugar added" on the labels actually do have some carbs, so you’ll want to check the label to find out how many. If you compare&nbsp;the sugar free version&nbsp;with a regular product, you usually notice at least a 20% decrease in total carbohydrates. <br /><br />3.Just because it’s "sugar free" doesn’t mean it tastes like cardboard! There are a lot of really good "sugar-free," or "no-sugar-added" products that taste pretty good. Some of my favorites are: Jell-O sugar free pudding,&nbsp;Yoplait light&nbsp;yogurt, Smuckers no sugar added jelly, light maple syrup, and Dryer’s slow-churned no-sugar-added ice-cream. <br /><br />4.Choose a favorite sugar-free treat...and stock up! There are actually treats out there that have very few carbs, and some have none. 7-11 has a great Crystal Light Slurpee with only 5 calories per 8 ounces and zero carbs. The Cheese Cake Factory sells a "Carb Free" cheesecake that only has 6 carbs! My suggestion is to take it home and add some sugar free cherry pie filling on top! <br /><br />5.Eat the good carbs! Fruit and fruit juices are good carbohydrate choices that often satisfy your sweet-tooth!<br /><br />6.Try to never drink carbs or calories! There are so many great diet drinks out there…drinking empty calories or carbs really doesn’t make sense. My one exception to this rule is while working out…a good sports drink with some electrolytes can be an excellent choice. <br /><br />7.Keep a back up for when you’re feeling you may cave! Gum works really well. Apparently the ever-so-obvious people from product placement at the Biggest Loser think so too! <br /><br />8.Choose a day to cheat. Sometimes it’s okay to cheat. Set aside a cheat-day for yourself. One day a week (or less, if you’re brave) is good enough. A friend of mine eats whatever she pleases on Sundays. She doesn’t count calories or carbs on this day, and she’s been able to maintain an 80 pound weigh-loss for 8 years! <br /><br />9.Remember how good you feel. Going low-carb can be a difficult thing to do. However, it does make you feel great. My sugars get much more level, and overall I feel so much better. Remember that when you’re about have some leftover birthday cake. <br /><br />10.Do it with a buddy. Having support makes things much easier!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-4540286015848086932?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-2265311303275098202010-09-19T15:13:00.000-06:002010-09-19T15:13:00.064-06:00Saturday's food:<br /><br /><em><strong>Breakfast</strong></em><br />2 C cold, dry cereal<br />peach<br /><br /><strong><em>Lunch</em></strong><br />peach<br />another peach<br />celery with peanut butter<br /><br /><em><strong>Dinner</strong></em><br />BLT on light wheat bread using turkey bacon<br />peanut butter ice cream with waffle cone (Cold Stone)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-226531130327509820?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>why weight?http://www.blogger.com/profile/00831914998400939469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-67516646961622227552010-09-18T07:18:00.002-06:002010-09-18T07:20:16.381-06:00Yesterday I ate:<br /><br />1/4 of a cantaloupe<br />1 gingerbread scone<br />pear tomatoes<br />dry cold cereal (Cinnamon Life)<br />1 peach<br />3 orange truffles<br />1 slice pizza<br /><br />I Jazzercised for one hour and should have drank more water.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-6751664696162222755?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>why weight?http://www.blogger.com/profile/00831914998400939469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-44380344861584233232010-09-16T20:30:00.003-06:002010-09-16T20:35:01.146-06:00Wednesday I ate the following:<br /><br />1/3 C hot 7-whole grain cereal with brown sugar<br />grapes<br />1 cupcake (from the Sweet Tooth Fairy - yum!)<br />peach smoothee<br />ziti<br />11 potato chips<br /><br />I drank 1/2 gallon of water and got LOTS of exercise.

Have you heard the saying; "Living not Blogging"?&nbsp; Well, that's been me I guess.&nbsp; Not meant to be an excuse, just and explanation.&nbsp; I did okay eating my first two and a half days in Seattle.&nbsp; Came home and washed laundry, did dishes and grocery shopping then packed up our stuff again for another four day weekend.&nbsp; This time we went to Yellowstone.&nbsp; We did TONS of driving and hardly any exercise at all (had my 80 year old grandparents with us, they don't get around too well) but we did go pretty long between meals and I didn't do much snacking so I feel good about that.&nbsp; <br />Tomorrow I'm planning on getting back into the routine.&nbsp; I've done so much traveling this summer I don't care if I see another suit case until at least Christmas.&nbsp; There may be a Thanksgiving trip though, who knows!&nbsp; <br />I'm very much one to love the routine, so I'm glad to get back to it.&nbsp;<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-1639831045426824540?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-43368488341294952662010-09-13T10:42:00.002-06:002010-09-13T10:48:12.281-06:00I haven't don well at posting lately.<br /><br />I've done even worse at eating healthy.<br /><br />Two good reasons why my weight has gone UP.<br /><br />Today I am posting to remind myself why I want to eat healthy and lose weight. <br /><br />1) I want to be healthy. I want to live a long time. I want to lead an active lifestyle. I want to be able to play with my kids and grandkids. I have a family history of diabetes and I would like to avoid that. I just plain feel better and have more energy when I eat better.<br /><br />2) I want to feel better about myself. By losing weight, I will look better and fit into clothes better. This increases my self-esteem. I am not seeking to be model-skinny but I'd like to look healthy.<br /><br />3) My body is a temple and I should treat it as such.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-4336848834129495266?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>why weight?http://www.blogger.com/profile/00831914998400939469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-32451169114602469932010-09-12T11:40:00.004-06:002010-09-12T19:49:17.058-06:00Thanks for the invite back.

I walked into the gym and my one month membership was "about to expire" and I asked about renewing. The front-desk lady told me I could wait a few days. I walked out to the pool and it was drained. CRAP! They're refinishing it and it won't be open until OCTOBER FIRST!!! Double CRAP! <br />I'm not sure WHAT I'm going to do for exercise. My husband has an incredibly packed schedule and exercising with a five year old and two year old in tow can prove to be disastrous (Did I tell you about Friday's "work out"? No, well, it was a DISASTER!)<br />I also have the dang planar fascists so I can't do any kind of out of the water exercise without suffering a ton of pain and further injuring my feet. Triple CRAP! <br />Anyhow.... I ended up pulling the kids in the wagon for a mile. Something is better than nothing I suppose.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-8829535699423242139?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-12680147006939730642010-08-24T07:20:00.000-06:002010-08-24T07:20:00.567-06:00Monday I ate the following:<br /><br />2 C broccoli salad with grapes, onions, and celery<br />1 C peanut butter trifle<br /><br />I did 1 hour of Jazzercise.

Ugh! Could my weight go up and down any more? I've gotten back on track and lost over 3 pounds of it (probably mostly water weight).<br /><br />Not much variety in my menu this week since I am running back and forth to BYU Education Week but at least it's healthier than what I ate last week.<br /><br />Jen - Congratulations on the weight loss!

I've kept up the "diet" or at least counting my calories. I've kept swimming and doing other exercises. Thank Marvelle for creating this website where I can keep going on the blogging. <br />2. <strong>I told myself I could do it.</strong> I watched something on TV that inspired me to use a little positive self-talk. I figured if I kept telling myself that I'd never lost any weight, I wouldn't. So, I switched it up and told myself a few times per day that I could do it, that I could loose weight.<br />3. I took my best friend's advice and<strong> I stayed off the scale</strong>. We normally keep a scale in our bathroom and my sister-in-law had moved it to weigh her luggage. I left it out of the bathroom until the end of the week. This morning I brought it up and weighed in and was ecstatic about the results. <br />4. I saw something on Oprah (I know...) and tried to<strong> only eat when I was hungry</strong>, and slow down and <strong>eat in a calm place</strong>. Sometimes I eat while I'm fixing lunch for the kids, or in front of the TV, or while on the computer, etc. <br /><br />It's been 4 weeks since I started swimming so that is ALMOST a pound a week. <br />Anyway, I'm excited and I hope that I'll be able to loose at least 20 more pounds.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-2415238137227624358?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-1786233885344724612010-08-13T15:17:00.002-06:002010-08-13T15:18:59.586-06:00Thursday:<br />slim fast and banana<br />fiber one cereal<br />yoplait smoothy<br />oatmeal cookies<br />apple<br />celery<br />peanutbutter<br />wheat bread<br />honey<br /><br />no exercise<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-178623388534472461?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-5989140391296374572010-08-11T21:00:00.002-06:002010-08-11T21:07:45.213-06:00Wednesday:<br />B: slim fast &amp; banana<br />L: chicken quesadilla<br />D: chicken and pasta<br />S: peanut butter M&amp;Ms, angel food cake, oatmeal rasin cookies<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-598914039129637457?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594440766585845543.post-8183353262832805632010-08-11T20:58:00.001-06:002010-08-11T21:00:01.408-06:00Tuesday:<br />B: fiber one cereal<br />L: turkey sandwich, apple<br />D: chili &amp; rice<br />S: nature valley bar<br />angel food cake with berries and vanilla pudding<br /><br />30 minutes swimming<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7594440766585845543-818335326283280563?l=ytheweight10.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CollyWollynoreply@blogger.com0
