Well my birthday is now 8 days away, I am flying home in 7 days, so I already know what is in my near future, not to mention my birthday is the day after Halloween.  Extra pounds and higher blood sugars.  As soon as I land all I think about is all of those small family own places that I ate at on weekly basis that I get to go to maybe 3 times a year now.  I over eat at them because I just want everything on the menu.

My birthday is shared with my soon to be 8 year old niece, so there will be ice cream cake and a big dinner.  The very next day is the rehearsal dinner for my brother’s wedding at Olive Garden, so thats an all you can eat never ending pasta bowl and salad.  We all know what happened last time I went there.

I am going to make myself test my sugar at least 10 times a day, I do not want any highs while I am home.  I am also supposed to get blood work done here before I go home, but I never have the time to anymore.  The only day I have the opportunity is on Sunday morning and they are closed that day.  Oh well, I will figure it out somehow.

I am excited to go back home though, the Philadelphia Eagles play the Dallas Cowboys that day, so that will be great to be watching that rivalry game with my fellow Eagles’ fans.

Have a great hump day everyday.
