Diabetes 365:Day 3

Today is my 

third day of 

Diabetes 365: Day 3. 

Last night/this afternoon

I attempted to make this

Scandinavian Almond Cake

from my FIL's coworker. 

Apparently this cake was AMAZING!

Well I made it first with baking sugar

as it called for 2.5 cups of sugar which to me

is INSANE.

Plus for anything I eat, I always put in 

Splenda and not

real sugar. 

Well, I made one and for the FIRST

time in my life

my 

FIRST

cake never made it out of the pan.

EVEN with my amazing Cake Release.

Which, i will still use on every cake I make. 

I figured it was just the sugar amount, too sweet. 

Well I tried this sad cake to at least 

taste it. 

OH HECK....

no one told me when I try just TRY

something with that much sugar in it, 

one.single.bite

makes my blood sugar
SKY ROCKET

in the 200's. 

Yeah. Never Again. 

Splenda it is from now on .

Oh, the second batch I made with splenda 

AND

in cupcake form..

turned out great. 

so:

 

Real Sugar: NO  Splenda: YES PLEASE!!!!

Diabetes 365

Today is my 

2nd

day of the Diabetes 365 day project. 

Basically, this group is for

Diabetes related pictures that takes you through

a whole year, or 365 days.

To do this challenge you need to take a photo

each day

and have it be something that relates

to you and your diabetes. 

As we live each day, 365 days of 

each year with this

we are able to show people 

through some pictures

glimpses into 

our 

Diabetes Life.

You can follow me here for updates and also watch on my Flickr 

Here!!!

Hope your ready to watch my journey 

with Diabetes

each day of

2011!!!

Life=Weather

so lately,

I feel like the weather recently. 

Sometimes I feel windy: Like my head is going to explode. 

Either with deadlines, appointments for clients,

multiple schedule changes

all up in the air

not knowing what real next direction

i'm supposed to go in.

Don't worry, then my clients remind me where I was going.

then there's the Rain:

days that go by so slowly, like I woke up

and i have lived 400 years in 1 day. 

okay, maybe i'm exaggerating

but i feel like sometimes I cram 

entirely

too

many

things into one day. 

then when the rain gets harder and is like pelting

your skin, 

are those days i feel rushed

every.single.moment.

of the day.

then of course there are those days where 

it starts out foggy, then snows a little,

then the sun comes out, 

and at night time comes

a thunder storm.

Don't even get me started on that kind of day. 

That is the day, i forget to bring my insulin,

forgot to charge my work cell phone.

loose my planner in the car

and my phone pretty much

BLOWS up from

phone calls.

What am i turning into comparing life to the weather. I guess i'm just ready for

some Spring action. 

Sunny skies, warm weather, 

plants, flowers

fresh veggies..

Between what my brain is doing, what my mind is thinking

how my body is reacting

to my speech jumbling all together and I can't remember what I was saying..

I think..

PHEW... One Day At A Time. 

Am I alone here? or maybe it's just me making a busy schedule..
