Finally!

I have been for a physical, bone scan, mammogram and finally today, I had a dentist appointment. I do not have to go anywhere medical for six months! Happy smile! It happens that my dental hygienist is counting carbs too--no bread, pasta, rice, cookies, candy, hehe. Sound familiar? The last few weeks have been easier. I am not as depressed about my restrictive diet. I am not hungry because my sugar level is staying stable. I am appreciating the taste, texture and colors of food more. A good thing. I walk the dogs every day, and when I can, I increase my walking to 10,000 steps. Our route takes us past the pizza shop and the fried chicken restaurant. I inhale and enjoy the aromas and imagine how the food tastes. Then I come home and make lentil soup and a crisp salad of mustard, kale and spinach! :)
