Good Blood Sugar

It looks like I won't be taking my Diabetes medication for awhile. My blood sugars have been so good that I am on the verge of becoming hypoglycemic. So I'm going to try leveling off with my doctor's approval of course.

Research says medications for Diabetes work well but diet and exercise works the best. And, once you've lost even 5% of your total body weight the disease process is much better over all.

So, that's good news!

Aaron and I received our new recliners today from La-Z-Boy, thanks to my Mom's generous Christmas gift. They are divine - chocolate colored leather and so soft and comfortable. Wow, what a treasure. Thanks, Mom, we're very happy!

My Mom made cauliflower soup today in her crock pot, which sounded very good. Here's her recipe:

"The soup is: a little diced, slightly browned bacon, chopped onion, chopped celery, chopped cauliflower, lots of fresh parsley, chopped red potatoes, lots of garlic powder, Mrs. Dash, 4 chicken bouillon cubes, and low-fat, lactose-free milk to cover plus about an inch. It is in my slow cooker and smelling pretty good. When it is cooked through I will mash some of it to thicken it. Might add more milk if it turns out very flavorful."

Ooh, I think I'm going to make that on Sunday.

Now to exercise and retire to get some much needed beauty sleep.
