I have finished the book I was reading, and I have talked with my husband. We have discussed the things I have read, as well as discussed the things I had talked about with a doctor. We have both decided that we are going to do the 5:2 diet, starting the beginning of the week, Sunday. Our fasting days will be Mondays and Thursdays for me. I'm sure he will agree to those days as well.
We have also just "adopted" a new puppy from our niece. She is a beautiful animal, Husky Sheppard mix, not quite 4 months old. Already weighs 25 pounds and is determined that she's going to be the boss. Our 10 year old 6 pound chihuahua is not happy with us, or with her, truly not happy about the entire situation. She has been an "only child" for 2 yrs now, after the passing of our last border collie. The chihuahua, her name is Amber, is truly an alpha, has been since the day we brought her home 10 yrs ago. The husky, Juno, has a lot of learning to do, and though Amber is not patient, she too has a lot of learning to do. Slowly, we are making it work. We've only had Juno 4 days now, but I am amazed with Juno. She doesn't chew on things, except the rawhide "oinkies" we give her, and well, she likes my green fuzzy house shoes. I finally had to throw them in the closet, not that she's tearing them up, but she does play with them at night while we sleep. So far, no accidents in the house either.
I have managed to stay between 216 and 217 for a bout a week now. No complaints there. My sugar hasn't been too bad, this morning it was 139, but I'm pretty sure it's the little home-made pizzas I had last night along with the stuffed mushrooms and new potatoes. But I'm also on week 2 without using the Bydurion injection. So little wins.
