Cooker's Throwdown Friday ... 7-4-14

[Cooker]

Greetings and Happy July 4th to all! I hope all are well and ready for a big day of celebrating our nation's independence! Last week was one of the few weeks if not the only week I did not post my weight, that's not my way. I have always held myself accountable and never been embarrassed about it ... don't know why I didn't post it but I didn't. I'll try and do better.

I'm down some and it's a result of cutting back on bad carbs. Lord knows I've been too busy to exercise!! Planning a day at the lake with friends today and of course it will include all the necessary delicacies required by 4th of July celebrations!! I hope everyone has had a good week and please be safe:thumbup:



2014 Starting weight: 231
Last Weigh-in: 227.50
This Week: 224.00

Great report, Cooker! As for me, I am spiraling out of control. At least I am here. I'm not sure iuf my my diabetes med is doing a number inn me, or I'm just undisciplined. Starting all over after the Fourth --- looks like Im up about 3 this week -- but also need to get some good scales to keep more exact track. Nothing changes with me, does it? :redface2:

Happy Fourth of July, Throwdowners! :thumbup:

Bob ... you are a rock, meds can be a culprit for sure .... anybody interested in a Labor Day Sprint?... I always lose the sprints and races but I'm willing to suck hind teat for the team:biggrin2:

Labor day sprint it is. I am going to US Open that weekend for the first time so double incentive. Open incentive...I like it.

Good news is that this new med keeps my blood sugar at uncommon lows (for me, THAT IS ; normal for normal people).

Bad news is that this new med keeps my blood sugar really low.

Sometimes too low -- I get shaky. Have to have a quick snack to bring the sugar up -- even a soft drink and a candy bar if nothing else is available (I carry glucose tablets now for an emergency)….

Hard exercise can make the sugar drop more.

So more snacks, less exercise -- not a formula for losing weight. Debating if I need to refer myself to an endocrinologist --- never seen a specialist. My GPs always have thought they could handle it. Or maybe I need a refresher course at the hospital on diabetes management. Helpful snacks, exercise strategy.

Anyway nothing like listening to me bitch on a holiday.

HAPPY FOURTH, EVERYONE!

Happy 4th! We've been at our kids since Wednesday, but heavy-duty babysitting is keeping any extra calories in check. No scales to weigh with but I think I'm doing well.

Duffey is our supermodel of consistency Bet she can win any sprint by just staying on course.

I wasn't too bad on the Fourth -- we had a cookout and I was presented with a big ol' burger hot off the grill. I ate it. Then I ate a hot dog with the works. Better than the ol' days when I would have eaten a half-dozen.

OK .... weekend of eating is over...back to work!!!!
