Crazy Days

I hope every one had a wonderful Christmas. I know we did! What a crazy past four days though. Diets, meal plans, diabetes...who has time for that around the holidays? I guess that was hubby's thought exactly. Saturday we ate out twice, which would not have been too bad if hubby had some self control! He went wayyyyyy over on the carbs. His sugar was still high in the morning. Then sunday he went to Buffalo to watch the Bills play the Giants. Hubby likes the Giants so he was happy to be celebrating a win that gaurenteed a place in the play offs at Buffalo's stadium, even if he was cold and wet! He did not eat much and drank about four beers. The same was true on Christmas eve. So on Christmas he was sick to his stomach. I told him he over did it this weekend and he has to be better about what he puts in his body. It is ok to have bad days once in a while, but it is not good to have a bad four days in a row. It took a toll on him.

The good news is that hubby can enjoy pasta again!!! Not just pasta but good authentic pasta! How you ask? "Dreamfields" makes a very authentic tasting pasta that only has 5 grams of digestable carbs. What that means is that less of the carbs effect your blood sugar! Plus it has double the fiber of regular pasta and it has a special fiber called inulin not insulin that helps with digestive health and calcium absorbtion. Long story short hubby's sugar after a big plate of lasagna...105!!! That was fabulous! To find a store where they sell dreamfields visit their website www.dreamfieldsfoods.com This pasta is soooo good. I am Italian and this is the best pasta I have ever had! Hubby is not a huge fan of pasta but he loves this one! We are hooked! :)

The kids had a wonderful Christmas, Santa brought them everything that they asked for. It was soo nice to see them so happy! Santa was good to me too. I got new pj's, slippers and a bath robe. I also got hubby some new pj's and "The Simpson Movie" that he wanted.

We went over to my mother in laws for dinner and desert. It was nice to see everyone. After eating most everyone played "pitch" with the exception of three of us that did not know how to play. Yes I am included in that three. I sat there and watched for awhile. Hubby's aunt said, "boy you two are all lovey lately" she could not get over how happy we seem together. My mother in law thinks this means she is getting another grandchild. I would love for that to happen, but hubby does not want another child. I told her not to get her hopes up!

All in all it was a great day! I hope hubby has learned his lesson about eating right and not over doing it with the beer!
