I have no excuses...

I have no excuses for not posting for this long. at first not much was happing then we left for vaction, then we came back and i got busy/lazy.
     So I went to DISNEY WORLD! with diabetes! With for me was something big. If i had been at Disneyland that would have been a different story, but more on that later. This had been only my 2nd time at Disney world. And for those who have never been, it is a BIG place. I averaged about 20,000 steps per day. A heathy amount is 10,000. If i remember correctly a normal person takes less then 5000 per day. I know for me 1000 is normal. Plus we took greyhound there so that is a lot of sitting right before walking. And we neither went to morning or afternoon extra magic hours. (and thinking about it my avarage was probably closer to 18,500 steps. WOW.
     To say i went low would probably be wrong, I was low almost the entire time. But if not for this how would i have found out that low+certain rides(in this case Mt. Everest) make me nauseous I almost didn't want to eat anything, but as soon as i got some ice cream i felt much better. That's the only time i didn't feel well during the trip.
Now my train of thought was ruined by my night shot  and snack (225). So i guess now would be a good time to explain why Disneyland is different form world for me. Like i said i have been to "World" all of two times. I have been more times then i can count. I grew up in southern ca. and the last year we were there we had annual passes for Disneyland. We learned a lot about the place, a lot. Of course i havent been there for about 7 almost 8 years, that's about 6-7ish years before i had diabetes. So there is obviously going to be differences. I think I'll still be good because when i try to think about the layout of the magic kingdom i more often then not think of Disneyland. Yeah. Again lost of train of thought so later.
