Yesterday was one of those days where I had to throw my food diary together meal by meal as I went along. I was calculating all day long in my head as I was eating trying to keep up with what I was doing. Whew! I am glad I don't have to do that often as I prefer to plan out my food day in advance and know where I am going the night before or that morning. That makes life a little less chaotic and I'm less likely to go over on calories too. I did go over on cals yesterday, but that was due to being hungry and having a low bg at the end of the day.
Today, I go from playing nurse maid to sick husband to nurse maid to a sick dog. This role is getting a bit tiring. I have some new diabetic food magazines with some new recipes to go through that I'm hoping to find something I can use in my diet.My diet needs a new lift because I'm getting bored with some of my food choices. I am now able to cook more since I can stand up more. I'm still having some trouble with my upper back muscles getting too tight on me, but if I cook early in the day, I can make a meal.
Now I need some help with the CK menu planner. Is there a way to put my custom meals in the "meals"part of the diary. I have tried to put them in the meal planner but they won't go there. I eat the same thing every morning and get tired of having to manually put it in every day.

I had to make some changes in my meal plan today when I had to go rescue some dogs that got loose in the neighborhood. One was a bully breed mix of some kind and the other was a German short hair pointer. I didn't want these dogs to go to the pound, so I took them to the Humane Society which is only a 20 minute drive from my house. I was starved and my blood sugar was getting low,so before I left to take them, I ended up needing a morning snack. This up set all my meal pre-planning of coarse since I haven't been shopping this week and I haven't had to go snacks on hand in the house for a while. As a diabetic I have been taught to always have car snacks ready to go for emergency to go travels, but I didn't have any today and had to settle for a 150 calorie yogurt which I didn't want to refit into my meal plan. Now things have gone down hill fast, but I collected my senses before things got away and think I can pull the day off if I don't have a bad night. I just came home from the excursion to the Humane Society and ate too big of a lunch and will have to lose my evening snack due to the 150 cal. morning snack. Ok, not anyone's problem but mine. Does anyone else have days like this? Yes, I could give up the soy in my decaf coffee, or the decaf all together, but it's a miserable rainy day here and I needed something warm to drink. I'll drink my rooibos latter. (can't use coffee creamer due to the 'whey' in it and corn syrup in it too, so I use unsweetened soy milk).
I am totally erked that I didn't catch that the Westminister dog show was playing on two different channels last night. I only set up to record on one thus missed the last two hours of the first night.This is what I get for night scanning the tv guide better.
Have a good day and may the best dog win.
