I have been away from blogging and been pretty disconnected from social media as well.  My parents were down here on vacation week and a half ago and I was sure eating like I was on vacation.  I was eating a lot of carbs as well, which means I was going through a lot of insulin.  My daily amount of insulin that I use from basal rates is about 67.5 units currently.  When I was on vacation, my overall daily average was over 200, around 210-215.  That’s a lot of insulin.  My normal daily average when not on vacation is about 175. I have decided that I am going to go low-er carb than...

Today is February 1, 2012.  Not only is today about flipping over those calendars to the next month and doing a drumroll before seeing what the next picture or phrase or which cheerleader is going to be on the next month (or am I the only one that does that?).  Today is a very serious day for me.  A day of change. As some of you may know, I own my own business, CSI Marketing Solutions, LLC.  Also, as some of you may know, I have been working at an agency for about 18 months.  This digital agency is voted best place to work just about every year and received hundreds of other awards a...

Starting this year, I will be posting my Sunday weight.  It is the only day of the week that I am going to weigh myself.  I am going to let everybody know how overweight I am, so hopefully it motivates me to lose it even more. Today’s weigh-in: 274 Bookmark It Hide Sites

This weekend is going to be filled with a lot of cleaning.  Taking down all the Christmas decorations and then trying to pack away all the new Christmas things we bought after Christmas is going to be lots of fun.  Why?  Because I have nowhere to store any of this crap.  I decided that there is some room in my storage area that is currently filled with clothes that I fit into 2 years ago, that I have been holding on to waiting to fit back into them.  Guess what?  Those clothes are going away. It’s time for me to clean out my closet.  I have been saying for two years that I am...

The other day I saw a tweet from Rob Dyrdek, from MTV’s Rob & Big and Fantasy Factory.  I don’t remember the exact tweet, but I remember that I re-phrased it on Facebook and it has had me thinking about the tweet ever since then.  Basically, this is what I said, “There’s two types of people you can be.  Those that bitch about the shit you don’t have, or those that work hard to get the things you want.  I know which I am, which will you be?” Ever since then, I have really been thinking about it.  Not just in my personal life, but in the business...

2012 brings the opportunity to start fresh and start new things.  Every year I set a few goals, and last years goals I did not do a good job in accomplishing them.  As I stated yesterday, I plan on setting smaller goals throughout the year that lead up to the big 2012 total goal.  Today, I am going to talk about the dieting goals that I have. During my last visit to the endo, I spoke with the nurse practitioner and the dietician about me losing weight.  They mentioned that I should go on a 2 week vegan diet and that I would lose a healthy amount of weight during that 2 week time frame. ...
