Today was family day, no training. Alice and I took Reid to look at 32" TV's and recliners. If Reid completes tomorrows swim and run sessions he wins the $1000 bet. He plans on using the money to create a gaming mecca in his bedroom. He buying a 32" TV LCD TV, top of the line $165 earphones with surround sound and a lazy boy type of recliner. Essentially, everything he needs to get out of shape and fat.
I spent most of the day price shopping at stores and on the computer for TV's, Kegerators, recliners and fridges. I've decided I'm going to make my own Kegerator using a small apartment sized fridge. I think it will look cool having a stainless steel Kegerator with a tap on the front.
This evening, Alice stayed home while Reid and I went to the movie "Cyrus". It was a decent movie. Definitely not a movie Alice would have liked. When we got home, Alice wasn't making a lot of sense. I noticed she had a rum and coke and just figured she was a little drunk.
I should know better by now. Alice wasn't drunk, she's diabetic and her blood sugar was low. With Reid and I going to the movie, none of us ate a proper dinner tonight and she was paying the price. Good thing Reid was there to help out and get her some orange juice.
Even after all these years I miss the obvious signs. When she slipped on the stairs I should have known her blood sugar was low. Instead, I was chuckling at her drunkenness and was yelling up the stairs, "it looks like someone was partying while we were gone". Doh!!!!
The worst part was, as Alice was in a low blood sugar state, she's instructing Reid on what to do. Not until she was back to semi-normal did I even realize something was going on. I was distracted by the computer and TV. Alice was saying to Reid, "the best thing to get me is a regular Coke if you see me like this". She was training him for future. When I heard that I realized she had low blood sugar.
I've got to say, I'm not proud of the fact I didn't recognize it. It's not like it happens very often, Alice is excellent at keeping her blood sugar in check. In fact, she's so good I often forget she even has diabetes. It does bother me that I was SOBER and missed the signs. A diabetic with low blood sugar is no joke.
I don't have a lot to say today, but I do have a WHOPPER of a story I'm going to unleash tomorrow. It can't be released until then, for reasons that will become obvious. It's surreal and unbelievable, even by Training Payne standards.
Alice, Reid and I couldn't stop talking and chuckling about it all day.
Taper Rest Day

I just watched the video that you posted and it really sucks to have diabetes. I hope that Alice is OK. Best of luck to her.
My mom is diabetic, I understand how scary it can be - and how easy it is to miss the signs sometimes, even when it is ingrained into your brain what they are. I have done it myself, glad Alice is OK.
I can't wait for the story!
Our Spin instructor is diabetic and just the other day was telling me about the "not making sense" if blood sugar gets too low...I never knew that before a couple weeks ago -glad she is okay!
dont tell me thats a written up agreement memorandum in the picture regarding the bet?
-D
Wow man, I guess I can understand the mishap with the rum and coke being out... but dude you gotta watch that! Glad she is alright though and no issues arose.
Poo on Reid. I thought the whole idea of the bet was to get him money for his first car?! All of the video games suck now a days anyways so what the heck is he gonna buy?
I know its his money at this point and he can do what he wants... but talk to him about investing it or putting it in his savings account. Don't blow it on electronics... I wish I didn't buy half the crap I did as a kid.
Sucks that he busted his ass for that whole time and then caves on video games... ... ... I guess we all have our motivation huh? We don't want to get fat, he temporarily loses the fat, just to gurantee a quick return!
If it was a family day... shouldn't Alice have gone with you guys!?!?!?! SOOOOOOO CONFUSED!
I was just going to ask you the kegerator status. You have a month or so to get it made... chop chop!
D, thanks, she's fine, it's unfortunately just a day in the life of being a diabetic.
M, thanks.
D, the good thing of being diabetic is if you are drinking and driving you can blame it on the diabetes. haha.
M, thanks. Yah, he reconsidered on the car, he realized he could get one for $1000 and Reids the type of kid that money burns a hole in his pocket. haha. Alice did go with us. Kegerator update coming. I like the way you set the priorities. haha.
