| Our sunrise yesterday morning |
I made a breakfast sandwich for Ken and 1/2 of one for me for the road. We got out of here just about 0630. A nice but smoky ride all the way to Winnemucca. We got there just about 1000 so Ken stopped and got some diesel for the Money Pit. Then we headed over to the doctor's office and since we were early we just sat in the trailer for a bit.
I got called in just about on time at 1100! That usually never happens, but we found out that Robbie (my doctor) and her hubby were headed for Colorado at about 1300 to visit their newest grand baby. We got on with the check up. Some good news and some not so hot. My cholesterol levels are totally in check! I started in mid 2010 with levels at 282(!) yesterday 123! All the levels were good. When I started going to her, more often than not I'd tear up at the levels when we looked at them. Now it's nice to find out they're well within the normal range. My glucose levels not so much this time. There will be some dietary changes done even though we don't eat much bread, pasta, sweets or really processed foods. No more muffins for me haha..looking for some gluten and sugar free ones. Time to get this in check.
I love her and she knows I enjoy my wine. She gave me names of a couple of organic wine companies that she likes because there's no sugar and no additives. Most of these wines come from overseas so I'll have to take a close look. The first one I know I can't afford so I'll be looking at some others.
We took the trailer and headed to New Frontier RV Park and got checked in. This visit was free because we had stayed 5 times and had our card filled in. We headed to Walmart for some grocery shopping and then back to the trailer for some lunch. After lunch because it was so hot and felt so nice in the trailer Ken took a little nap and I played on the computer for a bit.

We went outside for Happy Hour ...just our way of being nosey and then back inside. Dinner was left overs from home. A little tv watching and then called it a night.

We set the alarm for 0530 this am. Coffee, computing and Ken said the Morning Glory Muffins were the best of anything I've made (banana bread, apple muffins). They're so sweet and I didn't add any sugar to the recipe.
We headed to the Model T Diner and Casino for breakfast. Figured I could find some eggs and fruit (no fruit)...ok. I had eggs and a little hash browns and Ken had a nice breakfast of sausage, eggs, potatoes and toast. Headed back, cleaned up and headed home.

| They still have several of the old style motels :) |
We got home just about 1245, unloaded the trailer and here we are. Too hot to be outside! Not sure what's on the agenda for the upcoming weekend but we'll see.

Congratulations on the cholesterol!! Yay! I'm proud of you. Bill had his blood test and his sugar is also not good. He is so bummed because he has cut the sugar out of his morning coffee (and now doesn't enjoy it at all) and it made no difference. He doesn't think of all the other crap that HAD sugar in it. We need to try harder so he doesn't get put on diabetic meds. His cholesterol wasn't good either but I can't force things on him......it would be easier for me to give things up. You're doing great, stick to it, kiddo! That Baby Cassidy is adorable! My daughter Bridgette had that much black hair at birth.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Patsy. I'm looking at labels and carb counting and it's amazing the sugar that's in everything! We eat well, but apparently not well enough. I'm blessed to have Ken who has none of these issues, but he's doing this along with me. My brother in law just tested positive for all kinds of things (another story) but he won't change anything! Like the dr says little changes can make a big difference, but it still sucks! Good luck to you and Bill for sure! We're in it together thousands of miles apart ahaha... Cassidy is adorable, still haven't met her in person, but hopefully soon. My sister Linda also had black hair like that as a newborn, they had to cut her hair when she ws just a few days old for her passport picture!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable baby! The air is very bad here too. I sat on the back deck to read and when I got up I realized I had ash one me. Stay cool.....Elva
ReplyDeleteThat's awful! My sisters said the same thing ash everywhere. 97 degrees right now, I'm inside w a/c on. My great niece..
