TODAY IS 'D' DAY!

THREE MONTHS ARE UP!
Time for me to have my diabetes blood test.

And in a couple of days I will know how much I have managed to lower my HbA1c number.

But for TODAY, it is my 'reward' day.

I am going to literally have whatever I feel like!

Seriously, I'm going to have a little of just about everything I've denied myself for the past 3 months.

Why?  Cos 1 day in three months is not going to do any damage to my NEXT blood test in another 3 months is it!

I went shopping last night, and got a 'few' things:


ABOVE:  It's all in that bag, and there's a little pot of ice cream in the freezer.  *smiles*

I fully expect the kids to help me out with some of it... but OMG I am looking forward to some self indulgence.

I've clearly not lost my sweet tooth ... wait till you see what's in the bag!

But for now... I am getting ready to go and have that VERY IMPORTANT blood test!  I expect to have the results on Wednesday.

So, apart from pigging out all day.... I am going to be making a few more Owl Mobiles in the next few days.  I'm down to only 3 left.
And that's all for now.
Catch ya later... with a reveal of 'what's in the bag'.  lol

ONWARD...

10.10 am:  Just back from town.
OMG today's blood test was THE WORST I've had in many years!
The nurse thinks she hit a nerve, cos it hurt like F#*K the entire time she was drawing blood.  I felt like I was going to pass out, it hurt that much!

I even felt rather 'wobbly' for a few minutes afterwards, so had to stay sitting down for a while.  Nasty needles.

Once recovered, I went to my favourite coffee shop and got more 'evilness' for my day off.

And here's the line up of evilness:


ABOVE:  Now please don't freak out!  I will NOT be eating all that on my own, or even trying to finish it all!!!!
Griffin has gone to work (holiday job) with a container full of this stuff, and Brylee is going to be having some too.

I'm going to start with the club sandwich, cos that's what I have missed the most.  Then the banana.  After that, who knows!  lol

FELICITY/CHRISTY:  Thanks for the concern... I am going to be careful don't worry!  I will be checking my blood sugar readings during the day, and if I feel sick I will obviously stop eating that crap!

I DON'T LIKE TOFFEE POPS or JELLY BEANS ANYMORE ...



12.15 pm:  And I've just checked my bloods.  Level has gone up to 10.3, which is the highest it's been in 3 months of course.
And... I'm done with the sugar shit.  I haven't even had the ice cream/chocolate sauce, meringues or custard slice!  
While I don't feel SICK, I certainly feel like I've eaten too much!

What did I eat?  One club sandwich.  6 jelly beans.  3 chocolate fruit clusters and one Toffee Pop biscuit.  And I'm done!

I will probably have the other half of the club sandwich for afternoon tea.  I feel a bit sad.   I thought I would really enjoy all that evilness.

But I didn't. *sniff*

I stopped eating that crap at lunchtime, and I STILL feel revolting.  Not happy at all.  Clearly sugar makes me sick.  
Brylee and I went into Hamilton to Spotlight for some supplies.  I felt incredibly ill while there, was not fun.
Lesson learnt. DON'T EAT FOODS WITH  SUGAR AS THEIR MAIN INGREDIENT!  

Happy to say I am back to 'normal' blood sugar levels this evening.  And I feel much better too.  Phew, never doing that again.

I got some sewing done this evening, and have quite a bit lined up to do tomorrow.

Time to bugger off for the night, catch ya tomorrow.

  1. Good luck with the test !! Maybe do a little "prick" test after your blowout today because it might be a reminder as to why you are not doing this every day. As I've learned a good HbA1c result does not mean I can't spike like crazy :)

  6. After 3 months you deserve a treat....enjoy your few rewards.

  7. I'd have the custard slice - I love custard slice!! Meringues.. yum. The rest? Not so much. It's interesting too how your taste buds change and things taste much sweeter when you don't eat sugar often.

    I also like that if you are going to et I cream, you re going straight to the good stuff. More expensive but if it's a one off, enjoy it properly and move on! Xxx

  12. Chris, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about you over the last 11-12 years of reading your blog, you go big or go go home. I literally laughed out loud when I saw your goodies, and wondered if you could eat even a tiny portion of of it. At least you know what spikes your blood sugar. The club sandwich would definitely be my weakness.

      The Club sandwich would have been where I would have caved too. I can skip the sweet stuff, don't really care much for candy except good chocolates, which I never get anyways. But the sandwich.. oh yes!!! I go tomorrow for my blood lab and pretty sure I am going to just over the cusp for diabetic; having been swaying between prediabetic numbers and 1 point over and I just think this time doctor going to call me diabetic! But she also told me that I am not going on any meds for it but strictly better diet!!! Dawn P. dba GADawn57 from Albany, Georgia USA

  13. I know those days where you just want to devour all the sugar! I nibble a lot of it through the day. Can't seem to help myself. But, I can't do much in one hit any more. Tried to have a pancake with berries on the weekend. managed half the pancake and all the berries but felt so, so sick afterwards. Ugh.

  14. Everytime I run down the rabbit hole of shit food and feel terrible I think "this is how I must have felt all the time"
    Hang in there!
    When is weigh in? That will be exciting!

  15. I also vote for the club sandwich! You had me worried when you said the blood draw was the worst in years! I thought you meant the numbers! Phew!

  16. Sorry you had a painful blood test. I have big veins that look easy, but roll and collapse and the nurses can never get the blood out.
    I think I've said it before, but have you ever tried looking for sugarless candy? For me, it helps when the craving is bad.

  17. LOL I was thinking that was going to make you sick!
