Karen,
I got the following recipes off another list a few days ago. I also read that
GNC protein powder can be used in place of the Atkins shake mix if you’re
looking
to save $. I have never used either product, so can’t speak from experience.

WOW - how many calories is that !?! I’d suggest Carnation Evaporated SKIM
milk. It’s almost like cream and sure would cut the calories. I keep cans of
that and fruits in the fridge so when I want one they are pre-chilled. Shake
the milk first or turn the can over each time you get in fridge.
Good to hear from you, Karen.

I was curious what freeware program you are using and where it can be
downloaded.
Thanks,

Hi everyone. I haven’t posted in quite a while and had to go on digest.
I have missed you all.
I am still following the Atkins plan and feeling wonderful. My endo was
thrilled with my decreased bg and told me to keep it up. Weight loss is
slow though but it is showing up in my clothes.
The problem is now the sugars are beginning to go up again. I had cut
down my insulin to 20 units in the am and 20 in the pm and had been
under 100 for every reading. I am back up to 30 units now and this
morning had the highest reading since I have been on Atkins … 180. I
am very frustrated by this. I think it must be stress because I noticed
the bg rising as soon as I started back to work (school) after Labor
Day. grrrrrrrrrrr. I am also wondering if my antidepressants have
anything to do with it. I guess I will have to resort to the one thing
I have been putting off…. the dreaded “e” word… exercise.
If anyone has any insights or feedback I would appreciate it. Forgot to

I hope everyone is smiling and in a good sugar “zone” this morning. I
wasn’t able to go for a walk yesterday…..we had much more rain than when
Floyd or Harvey came for a visit. Everything was under water!
Iris, how are you feeling this morning? Are your # still going up and down?

Bleah. What a great weekend I’m going to have. Good thing I bought some
chicken soup and hot oatmeal when I was doing my grocery shopping.
Iris
Take care of yourself, Iris. I didn’t know that even a cold can effect your
bg. Wow there is so much to learn.
You eat well and get lots of rest!

Maybe he has a deep need for all our attention and is just pulling our
legs and is really well-controlled. Let’s hope so. How can we prove it????

I hope Marius knows he doesn’t need to do this for our attention……he has
it just for being his adorable self! He just better get to the doctor and do
what he is supposed to do to get his bg and bp where it is healthy!
My computer was messed up and it needed to be serviced so I am just reading 2
1/2 days of mail! I went to the DR myself on Friday and my bg is great but I
now have to go for an echostress test. I was put on 2 more bp pills along
with the 1 I already take. Creatine ratio was 235 so I am high risk for
kidney disease. The doctor said it is still at the point where it can be
reversed IF I stop smoking and get my bp under control. I take my meds, I
exercise, I definitely have been eating right (since 8/13) so What more can I

The backologist said I broke my curlers (those pink ones). PTL - NO broken
back!!!
I’m very sore and ribs and neck are hurting now. I’m taking another sleeping
pill and will sit on couch with all those pillows again tonight. Sorry, hubby

PS - A few years ago I bought one of those raised toilet seat thingies at
Goodwill for $1 - not knowing when we’d need it. We need it. It really helps.
Getting up and down is painful.
