Monday Morning Coffee Break 6/20/16

|

I thought I would take a little time each Monday morning and share something fun with you. It could be a simple little story about something that happened or maybe just a picture. Just a little something that will help make the week begin a little bit brighter and on a better note. Mondays are extremely busy for me and I always feel like I am drowning on that day of the week.

lets chat

Not to mention that I can only have 1 cup of coffee a week now and I have chosen to have it on the day that I need it the most. I had to cut back drastically because of my blood pressure and blood sugar. So sit back and (I hope that you will) enjoy these little posts each week.

Owie!

I check my blood sugar everyday and this morning Maddy asked me why I stabbing myself with that needle. It came out more like “Mommy why are yous jabbing wifh that weedle” but you get the idea. I had to explain what I was do and why. So she thought she would help me by throwing out all the sugar in the house. Now I buy sugar in bulk and keep in a large bin. This is just more cost-effective and I don’t have to buy it all the time. That bin that had 25 lbs of sugar in it is now empty. Well at least we won’t get any sugar whatsoever until I get the store. That’ll teach me to explain things better.

  2. Agave is a great alternative if you have blood sugar issues! I have to be really careful about sugar intake! 🙂

  5. I’ve been trying to give up sugar too, because my doc wants me on an anti-inflammatory diet. I’ve been so shocked that sugar, or high fructose corn syrup is sooo many things.

  7. I am of the mindset if it isnt natural, dont use it. A bit f sugar isnt bad for you, and yes it is amazing what all has sugar in it. Around here it is salt I watch for since hubby had a heart attack (and cancer) now the salt in things will drive you around the bend.

  8. lol, I’m diabetic & I know about the effort to explain blood sugar to kids. But it sounds like you guys had an expensive lesson!
