Dateline: January 31, 2014
Weight: 299

This has been a roller coaster week.  My numbers have still been high so they increased my medication to a full 500mg of Metformin.

All in all I have been getting more upbeat about the situation I have found myself in.  I have joined a gym and also joined Weight Watchers so I can get a little help keeping an eye on my food intake and that way I am able to monitor my weight and what foods may or may not have an effect on my blood sugar.

I have been digging through my diabetic cookbook and have found some really interesting recipes.  This is my favorite one so far, hope you enjoy.

Chicken Thigh Parmesan

1/4 cup reduced-fat grated Parmesan		Nonstick Cooking Spray
1/4 tsp dry Italian seasoning		3/4 lbs lean boneless chicken thighs (should be 4)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Combine Cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper in a small dish. Place cheese mixture on a plate and coat each thigh. Spray a large skillet with the nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add thighs and cook until no longer pink in the middle. Keep warm until serving.

The serving size is 1 thigh
