Dianne...I'm with you, I don't care for Splenda either. I prefer Sweet n' Low over all others. I have been using it on my Special K in the mornings and always use it in my tea. 206 is less than you thought right. I too have my work cut out for me with my BP numbers but I know we can do it!
I went to the gym yesterday and walked 1.3 miles on the treadmill. I am trying to do a gradual increase in speed and length.
I have been looking at the nutritional value menus of some fast food places online. I am trying to find the best thing to eat at some of the ones we frequent the most. That way when I am out doing errands or Alex and I are out in town, at least I will know what to order. When I get it all figured out I would be glad to post it here if anyone is interested. It is unrealistic for me to think that I won't eat out. At least I will be able to make an informed decision.
Hugs,
Kelly
