While Jim was working on maintaining sugar levels, I began to do the same thing.  I had put on weight lately; due to the bad and long winter we have been having here; and my diet. I don't feel much like cooking for myself, and when you go out to eat that food is just loaded with fat and salt and other bad stuff.  Tara told me not to worry about it, that I should just eat less and go with Jim to get some exercise.  I thought I would go an extra step and change my diet around a bit.  So I went to the bookstore and got a couple of different books on diet, and one on exercise. The books really didn't have much more information than what was available online, but I read through them anyway.  Some had some good recipes, but I don't have the patience for measuring and mixing and all that.  I am usually too tired at the end of the day. And I'm not going to spend all day Saturday or Sunday preparing what I'm going to eat for the week.  Jim is doing okay with his program.  In fact, he had to go out and buy an entire set of new clothing for work.  His old clothing looked way too baggy on him.
