I added a mile of running to my workout on the 10th and boy was that a mistake. My blood sugar and health are obviously not yet under control :O( it left me in bed all day yesterday hurting to even have clothing touching me. I think it is about time to seek some further medical tests to figure out what is going on. I feel positive about this plan I have been given with just some slight changes I think it is just my body fighting back right now. Today I am doing much better which is great, though I'm not sure I am going to get a workout in I am doing a good job of not only watching what I eat but how much I eat. I think portion control is really important. I must remember even though I CAN eat as much as my husband I SHOULD NOT! Slow and steady wins the race right?? I didn't gain this weight in 3 weeks and will not lose it all that fast but I hope I can keep up with this even after that point.

Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need:
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Cups of Water
1 Package Sugar Free Jello
A candy Thermometer
Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I like to dust mine …
