80 this morning.  A chilly 23° this morning but warming up to around 55° this afternoon.  Our humidity is 74% this morning and there is a lot of frost on the roofs of the houses. 
Yeah SKB, being strict with your diet makes a big difference.

130 this snowy morning. Have been running high last couple of days not dietary related, think it is the constant pain...

35°was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 38°/27° with snow early and possible rain later.  Woke to about 2-3" of new snow this morning. I would welcome some rain to wash away some of the snow...

You don't suppose you injured yourself when you last fell?  Sorry to hear you are dealing with this.  :(

Very possible. I have been under immeasurable stress for the past few years now and the mental stress unlike physical is 24 x 7. It is hard to imagine that the cocktail of stress hormones will not do their damage within the body.

107 this morning.

It is only 22 deg F today and that feels cold.  We're expecting our younger son and grandson today plus son's two pups.  So our house will be busy with lots of activity.  :)

87 this morning.  It is a bit warmer today and we have cloudy skies.  There is still a chance of some rain but it has moved from Wednesday/Thursday to Thursday/Friday and probably won't be much here but a fair amount of snow is expected in the mountains.  Recently the snow pack in the mountains is a lot better than expected and quite welcome.
Today is the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemi and the shortest day of the year.  The days are going to get longer now, YEAH !

105 this mostly cloudy morning. At least there are a few spots of blue sky...

35° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 41°/27°. Definitely looking forward to it being light longer in the evening!!

I can't speak for you all, but I'm glad to see the days get longer even if it is just a few minutes each day.  Longer days might mean more sunshine and a chance to enjoy the outside air just a bit longer.

Wally - I'm glad you folks are getting more snow in the mountain areas.  That should help the drought right?  I have a cousin in Colorado who has only received .2 of an inch of rain in the past 2 months.  They have severe drought conditions.

108 today morning.

Yesterday I got my Ketonix meter out and tried to check for ketosis. But I don't think it is working anymore. Will check out if I can get a replacement.
I have noticed that my BG will jump 20 points in the morning even if I have a small portion of veggies on the side. If I have a meat only dinner the morning number tends to stay put nicely in the mid 80s.

104 this morning.

I found out by accident the impact on my BG was less when I reheated a measured serving of rice with my evening meal.  I knew about reheated potatoes, but did not know the same scenario might apply to rice also.

87 this morning.  It still looks like we may see some rain here late Wednesday and Thursday but the Los Angeles area is looking at significant rain over the next few days.  The mountain areas are expecting more snow also so yes Grammabear, the snow pack is a big help for the drought.  I think Denver set a new record for the longest time before winter snow.

108 this morning.

The temperature at present today is just 29 deg F which is about average for this time of year.  We might get some rain/snow mix later today which would help our drought condition too.
