A1c... 6.0

I had my appointment with my Endo last week and my A1C was down to a 6.0 from a 6.9.  Happy Dancing here!! She told me not to come back for 6 months (insert jaw drop here). 

When I arrived, my meter all of sudden was not working for them to pull my readings from. When I told her that the readings have been really great, she just arched her eyebrow at me and 'mmm-hmm-ed' under her breath. I wonder how many people are in denial and fib and say that to her every week? She just looked me square in the eye and said, 'We will just see what your A1C test says in a few minutes!"  Well, when she read it and saw that it had gone down almost a full point, she told me to keep doing whatever I was doing. 

I asked her what was a good reading for a non-diabetic. She told me 5.6.  I now have a new goal. Selah~~

I am telling you, this new way of eating is working for me. I am no longer hungry all the time. I am satisfied with my meals. I am also down just over 12 lbs now as well. I don't see it yet, but others tell me they do, so I will go with that!! 

I am sure I would be further along, but I have been testing out recipes too and to test you have to taste, so MyFitnessPal daily log looks like a non-committed calorie binger lives in my skin. Hahahhaha. 

I have several reasons that I am tweaking these recipes: 

• I love to cook! 
• I love to eat!!
• I will get bored with the same thing all the time 
• I have a son who is Type 1 and two others of us are Type 2
• Gluten affects several members of my family 

I know that when these recipes are completed, I will morph even quicker. For now I am happy with my progress. I feel better. I even went down a flight of stairs and my knees didn't jump up and slap me upside the head for a change. (Usually they also jeer and chant, "We'll get even with you!"  hahaha)  Coming soon are Chocolate Chippers and I will attempt a Greek Pizza! Now don't those sound good??!!

Dear God, 
Thank you for opening my eyes to a way of eating that works with the way you created my body to function. I am sorry for abusing myself by eating all of that junk food and then going on those crazy fad diets for so many years. Please help me to be strong in cleaner eating habits, while I renew my mind daily in what your word says in Joshua 1:9 - "I repeat, be strong and brave! Don't be afraid and don't panic, for I, the Lord your God am with you in all you do."  (Net Bible Translation)
