Keeping Up With Kim : 4th of July Fun!

Fun it was! Lets get to it...

Started the day off right at the gym. I usually do 2 classes on Thursdays, but I really pushed it in the first one which was a cardio kickbox/step/weight class. I made sure to dress accordingly.

Every year since I can remember I have been lucky enough to attend the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks thanks to the MOST AWESOME DAD'S position with the company. It was a beautiful and fun filled evening shared with great people! Unfortunately, my brother Mike could not attend to do work. :(

Look at them VIP's!

It has been at this location on the Hudson River for the past 3 years. It is a carnival like atmosphere with giveaways, music and more importantly... food and drinks! The food truck in our area offered sausages with potato chips and the most awesome ice cream pops! I asked if the sausages were gluten free and luckily they were. I had to have without the bun, but I didn't mind. Luckily Tanya was able to share this foodie pic with me that she took. (I ate mine too quick to snap).

Seriously loved those ice cream pops. I had 2 1/2.

For the first time I was able to take advantage of the complimentary drink ticket that I received when we arrived. A choice of beer or wine so I went with the wine (gluten free). I only had about half before I let my mom finish the rest. Like I said before..I'll choose food over alcohol ANY day.

I was careful with insulin since I was walking around, it was warm out and alcohol can lower blood sugar. I was a little high before eating (220) so I wound up covering for the food with 4 units. I didn't give insulin for a correction factor. I figured I could always give more and did not want a low blood sugar to ruin my time at the event.

Worked out perfectly I must say! Two hours later I was a perfect 100 and stayed right around there the entire night.
