body benig weird

totally freaked out by my body today. yesterday things went wacko. blood sugar over 100 all day. gained 4 lbs of water weight and feet and ankles swell up like balloons. I have no idea why or what happened. downloaded a new app for phone today to help monitor blood sugar, going to gym this morning and try to sweaty it off. If things stay weird by tonight going to Dr. in morning.       

these are the moments it could be easy to say WTH and go back to my old ways, but no way. I am showing my body I am in charge. hoping to get more recipes up this week for my Gumbo and my turkey chili. maybe even chicken and spinach enchilada bake.

tonights dinner Chicken meatballs

my kids were begging for spaghetti and meatballs, I want to give them the food they like and be able to eat also so a little revamp and we all got what we wanted.

16 oz ground chicken
1 link of jenne o sweet Italian turkey sausage, casing removed
1/4 cup parm cheese
2 tbs garlic minced
2 tbs oregano
2 tbs basil
1 tbs rosemary
1tbs thyme
1 egg beaten

mix all ingredients together and form into balls. I got 24 out of mine.
bake on cookie sheet in 375 degree oven for 30 minutes then add to your favorite red sauce.

My picky eaters could not tell it wasn't my old beef and pork meatballs so I guess I did good.

Recipes coming soon.

OK, I will start adding recipes and pictures of them that I am now eating as I come up with my healthier meals and menus. Thanks Kelly for the idea.

Heaven welcomes a new angel

My heart is heavy tonight to learn of the loss of a great lady and dear friend. never have a know a kinder or sweeter spirit then hers. It is also a reminder to continue on my path. This friend had Gastric Bypass 15 yrs ago and I believe her death was directly caused by this. I love you Myrna and will see you one day on the other side.
