Well, here we are on a Monday. Ray has reached 173 lbs. His goal is 165. I think that is too much, but that is what he wants to do. When he went to the doctor, he told her that he hadn't had any of the diabetes medication in over 3 weeks. She was amazed and very supportive of the Atkins plan that we have been on. She told him as long as his blood sugar remained low, (average 96) he shouldn't take the medication any more. He is so happy. This means that we are going to have to go through his clothes and see what he can wear (probably out-dated). That is what he wants to do. To me, it means that I get to make some decisions in what he will be wearing from now on. I am telling you, he will be much more fashionable than he has been in the past.

As for me, I have lost 14 lbs. I don't get as much exercise as Ray does. I cannot do the treadmill. Sometimes when I do my bicycle, my knees swell up. I try to walk whenever I can. I find that too much exercise of any kind hurts me for days. I took last Saturday and cleaned my kitchen from top to bottom. It took me all day, because I have to have frequent rests. I hurt all day yesterday and my feet are feeling like mush today. Benita and I went to get my blood checked for my Rheumatologist appointment tomorrow. I have to go get a bone scan at 1:30. Oops! better look for my order. I will write more later. I have to put a great soup recipe that I dreamed up on here for everyone.
