thoughts

Sometimes I look at people who are healthy and I want to cry.
Sometimes I look at people who are sicker than me and I want to get down on my knees and whisper a million thank yous, one for every blessing I can name, and all the blessings that are bigger than words.
Sometimes I just [...]

lighter

The diet is still going well. Every day I make dinner, careful to ensure leftovers, and every day my blood sugar is within an expected range. About 30-40 points around my target. There’s something overwhelming about seeing those numbers pop up one after another on my meter; numbers that are so close to one another, [...]

bernstein recipes

Here are three of the recipes that keep the Bernstein diet manageable for us. They’re not exactly gourmet, but they taste great, and they are usable on a daily basis. Little mess, little time, little work, good food with barely any carbs. I’ve made them PDF’s so they’re easy to print.
We’ll be posting more [...]

Because the one-column format was driving me nuts. And this template was easy to edit. Even though my other header didn’t fit, I am very much looking forward to filling my sidebar!

more bernstein…

This diet will be nearly impossible for vegans, and hard for vegetarians. Pre-diet, I seldom cooked meat.

dr. bernstein update

The Dr. Bernstein diet is kind of amazing. I will admit that today it hit me, and I just really, really wanted some sugar. Any kind would have been fine. Crackers, candy, what have you. I used to allow myself a very small (one bite) amount of basically anything I wanted, and I think in [...]

We walked into our bedroom to discover this suspicious scene…. at first it looked like foul play, but later we found it was only naptime.

Also, Mr. Business would like me to convey that he is actually quite a trim cat, though being asleep, and from this angle, he looks otherwise.

day two

Well, day two wasn’t as awesome as day 1, and it was my fault. I actually started this diet at lunch on Friday, so it’s really been 2 and a half days. Both yesterday and the day before I’ve gone to bed and felt my BG dropping in that oh-crap-where’s-the-juice sort of way. Lovely. So [...]
