zomg, like a _normal_ person...

Another almost week on Victoza. No insulin injected into me for almost two weeks now! 

Still have some naseua, and the slowing of food moving thru my stomach means I have to be ultra careful of not overeating. Testing to see what if anything causes trouble. Nothing really so far in terms of bad reactions - some uncomfortableness with some foods, checking again to see what combination caused it.

I'm a cheap drunk - 1.5 glasses of wine. I'm a cheap date - I can't eat much more than an appetizer.

So yesterday, we went bicycling, and it was cold and rainy and my blood sugars were good the entire time (except I dont know during the ride because it was too cold to get blood out of my fingers) - a late lunch of half of a buckwheat pancake with whipped cream, fresh berries was thoroughly enjoyed. Byronium and I had gone to get our toes done, and while at the salon, I got SUPER SLEEPY - which is usually my signal for, "oh, you stupid girl, you fucked up and ate too many carbs..." Freaking out, i check my blood sugar ... absolutely certain its going to be a TERRIBLE number (I ate a PANCAKE! with BERRIES! what was I thinking?) 

And found that the number was 104. Which is absolutely where I want it to be 2 hours after eating. Which meant I was simply sleepy because it was a cold, blustery, rainy day, I'd exerted myself that morning and now was relaxing with a lovely pedicure...

I mean, I was _just sleepy_!!! Like a normal girl! W000!

I refuse to continue to feel silly about how exciting that is for me. :)

Boy howdy, can I ever relate to that feeling of, "...wait, what? This is normal?" And, also, to the manageable discomforts falling into proportion, and to being able to shrug at the list of (again, manageable) "can't do this, can't do that". Keep it up...it's a good feeling.

Its SIMPLY crazy what becomes 'normal' after enough time as well!

But yea, 'this, this is NOTHING,' is a good feeling as it eases along.
