All of this change in eating habits (OK, dieting) and exercise is paying off.

For St. Pat's Day the numbers were:

1. Blood Glucose: 101 mg/dl. I wonder when it last that low. That is now on the slightly high side of normal.
   
2. Weight: 204 lbs. Haven't been there in a long while.
3. Exercise: 40+ minutes on the trainer.
   
4. Mood. Excited!

The menu:

• Breakfast: Oatmeal, banana and craisins. The usual.
• Lunch: Leftover Pasta Rustica, which is ground turkey, tomato sauce (sorry, marinara sauce, sounds fancier) and an apple. This came from a dish served a fave restaurant of our called the Empire Cafe here in Houston. Tasty, filling, cheap and easy to make after a long day.
• Dinner: Paula Dean's Taco Soup and corn bread. I am so proud of myself. One slice of Mary's delicious cornbread. No butter even.
• Snacks: Soy yogurt when I got home from work and a few raisins, and I had a handful of multi-grain Triscuits at work.
