Back to Work...

...And the posts slow down when the work starts back.

BG has stayed high.  I've woken up the last several mornings with it over 200.  Today, it was 223.  When I tested again, it was after having a cup of coffee with vanilla creamer.  It was about 210.  I didn't manage to test any more. 

We went to a Chinese buffet for lunch today.  I had egg drop soup, a custard bun, half of an egg roll, 2 steamed dumplings, boiled shrimp, and sushi/sashimi/whatever.  The place has a hibachi grill, so I loaded up on veggies and beef and shrimp for the grill.  Top off with sweet tea (the last time I got water from there, it tasted super weird. First glass was fine, but the second may have been Sprite or something instead of water in my half full glass of water.  Otherwise, there was a serious problem with the water.)  Hopefully, there was enough protein to balance out the carbs.  I did not get rice or noodles (other than what was in the sushi).

Dinner was leftovers.  Salmon and some Mexican-inspired taco filler-type stuff with chicken, diced tomatoes and green chiles, squash, zucchini, and cheese.  (I'm really feeling like a snack right now, but while I'd like to have ice cream -- which we've bought in the 3 ounce serving cups, but I think I will get a piece of cheese instead.

On the upside, yesterday, the scale said 211.  Baby steps in the right direction, and I'm okay with that.  (And, if you are worried about my BG, I have an appointment with my endocrinologist Thursday.)
