Busy weeks and healthy dinners

I just finished catching up with a friend of mine. She was telling me about her challenge to eat healthy during the week, while working long hours. She admitted to grabbing a bucket of chicken on the way home, if she didn't have dinner already prepared. We had a great conversation about the use of a crock pot to have dinner ready and the option to prep and cook on a Sunday afternoon. There is no doubt that planning, shopping and cooking is a lot of work. But my body is worth it and I know yours is too. What tips and tricks do you have to eat healthy during a busy week? Lynna

The High Line in NYC

If you ever get to New York City, take a walk on the High Line. It's on the east side, with access stairs at various streets running down 10th Ave. It's close to my job, so I try to take a walk at lunch time and it's great for people watching.
This is what I saw last summer,

It's a great walk with lot's to see.

Already missed a day!

Yesterday was one of the most stressful days ever. Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs ever.

I love my kids, but there are times when I just don't like them.

There is no doubt in my mind, stress kicks my blood sugar into high gear. I took more insulin yesterday then in probably ever and my BG level would nit come down,

I rode my bike for 14 miles this morning and there is nothing like a bike ride to manage stress levels.

I gave my Dexcom a work out yeterday.

Biking in the rain, and lovin it!

31 Days in August

...and I am going to Blog every single day. I have always had a difficult time being consistent. I think it's a personal feeling of not having enough to say of value, that anyone would want to bother reading. I am going to make it a point to follow along with Effy Wild and blog each day this month.
So, here is August 1st! -

To kick off the start of the blogalong with Effy I would like to share this Raw Food Guide

Diabetes Sisters: this is a organization created to help women manage diabetes.
I went to the conference in Raleigh North Carolina. It was a great opportunity to spend time with
woment living with diabetes.
The concept of planting a seed was talked about. I want to start a support group, called PODS or( Part of Diabetes Sisters). This will give me an opportunity to interact and share with women that are navigating life with diabetes.
The next conference is in October and I want to have had my first support group meeting by then.

How about you? Do you have intentions for the year? What are your plans? Is this the year of you?

What one word will represent this year for you?

2013 Intentions

One of my intentions for 2013 is to make blogging a part of my day, week and month.
I want this to be my go to place to share and store my memories, thoughts and ideas.
I want to share my experiences in hopes that they resonate with others.

I want to share in words, pictures and art.
