Ugh, I should talk…Christmas is kicking my butt

Ive complained long and hard about my mother not taking care of herself and here I go, doing it myself. I’ve been so good for the past 3 months, but in the last week I’ve been kinda testing myself. A cookie here, a mini candy cane there, a bite of chocolate here, a swallow of wassail there. My sugars are staying pretty good, under 130, and I’m keeping my carbs under 125 mostly.

But today just took the cake–or the pie, I should say. I baked some cookies for DD16 last night, and a pecan pie and a coconut pie for DH (and me, I must admit.) I substituted Splenda for half the sweetener in the pecan pie(but it still had 1 cup of corn syrup) and I cut the sugar and fat in the coconut by 75%. Today, I got too big for my britches, though. I ate my oatmeal breakfast around 11:30am, followed by a sugar cookie, a small piece of pecan pie, AND a small piece of coconut pie.:eek: That’s a whopping 87gm carb load. Should I wonder that by 1:20pm I was dizzy and nauseous. I felt just like I did when I took that GTT. Very ick. My sugar was only 108, but I bet I had spiked real high. I had to go to bed for about 2 hours and I still don’t feel great. Ugh. I could just kick myself.

Good thing I was planning a shrimp boil for supper. Very low carbs. And tomorrows holiday meal will also be pretty low in carbs, at least for me it will. I’m so mad at myself i could spit!:mad:
