165 today
Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, our national day of pigging out. People shovel food in as fast as they can, and then complain about how miserable they feel. It's crazy, and I am so glad to be off that train. I still have to cook all the standards for my family because that's what they want, and it's fine...I'm not tempted to sample and I don't have a problem cooking carby stuff. To make it easier on myself, I started cooking on Saturday, making the cornbread dressing. Then on Sunday I made the cranberry relish. Today the university will probably shut down early, so I'll have time to make the green bean casserole this afternoon before I have to head back into town to pick up The Granddaughter from school. Tomorrow then, all I'll need to make will be pies. The Mister will roast the turkey, and my daughter will make Mac + Cheese, and mashed potatoes and gravy (instant and store-bought). I'll chow down on roasted turkey, and will just need to heat up some frozen veggies for myself. Easy peasy...
The secretary in my office told me yesterday, after a doctor appointment, that her blood glucose level was very high and her doctor wants to see her back in 3 weeks for re-testing. She is fat, to put it bluntly, and eats a lot of carbohydrates. I wanted very badly to say, "I can help you lose weight which would probably regulate your glucose level", but instead I said to let me know if I could do anything to help. I know better...I've told others in the past how to lose weight--give up all sugars and grains, and they look at me as if I've suddenly grown a second head. The first thing that comes out of their mouth is, "I can't do THAT!!!" No, you don't WANT to do that.
