Doing good!
Good Morning...well, it's morning anyways. 
Things are going good and I'm pretty proud of myself. I've had to make the decison to go low-carb...not my favorite way to eat, but my blood sugars have been sitting at around 200 and the other night it was almost 300...time for a change. I started it yesterday and in that short amount of time my blood sugar went down to 130. So, I'm sticking to it. I almost caved yesterday at work, but I checked my blood sugars and saw that they were in a lower range, so I patted myself on the back and didn't take the soup and breadbowl for lunch. Believe me, that soup and breadbowl is wonderful, but the salad was good and I felt satisfied and didn't care that everyone else around me was eating a ton of carbs.
Today is day 2 and so far, so good...OK, so it's only 7 am, but hey, I'll take whatever accomplishment I can. 
Exercise still hasn't happened, but Monday I'm joining the gym and my friend and I have already committed to each other that we are going to go a minimum of 3 times a week. We would have gone this week, but we were both having a stressful work week (yes, exercising probably would have worked out some of the stress) and we just wanted to go home and relax.
I'm going to go into work today and have a talk with my boss. She has been treating me like her slave and I'm sick of it. When she has a question or is questioning something I'm doing, she is so accusatory and it's making me NOT want to go to work. I enjoy my job, I love working with the teachers and doing what I can to get them the supplies they need for their classrooms, but this last week has put me over the edge. I'm going to ask her if she's happy with the work I'm doing. She says she's HUGE on communication, yet, she has NO interpersonnal communication skills. It's just amazing. The only way to describe her...a female Hagrid. She's rough on the outside...but can be very nice and generous, if the mood strikes her. If I can resolve some of the the issues at work, then I can let go of some of the stress and feel like I actually want to go back to work each day.
I'll let you know how it goes. I'm going to keep my carbs low and avoid the cake, cookies and other junk food that everyone sits on the counter by my desk. I look at that crap all day long. Working at the Dept. of Education is about as bad as working for a Health Clinic...food everywhere. I know, I've worked both. 
Have a great day.
Jenn
