Sure, a little wobbly. Not sure if it is hunger, heat, beginning work projects, from the illness most recently, or what. It is too mild to really be a cause of concern, just a minor flaw. I am able to fast fairly easily, at least this time. An hour away from testing blood sugar again. I hope it is down. At 266, though, it was down further than I expected. I'm not sure if it can take the baseline lower, this first shot.
Tomorrow? I'll have one meal, later in the day. Two if need be. All in a short time span, between, say, 16:00 and 22:00. I think, from now on, whether eating, fasting truly, partial fasting, or normal, that will be the time I eat. The tricky part happens when my schedule goes haywire. I am not quite sure how to deal with that at the moment. Keep feeding at, or near, the same time... skipping ahead until I can fall back to the same time? Maybe.
I have laundry going, what will be needed for upcoming events. While I was putting laundry through, I sort of lost track of the true intent. Now, I did get three loads in, two done... if not folded and put away (or yet). On the good side, with this final load, I am putting in the dish and flour sack towels I recently purchased. I wanted them washed first. But washing was behind, and I wanted bleach that works well with even mostly/near whites. It all came together tonight, finally. Yeah. Picky.
Not much more today. Just dinner, and drying the last load which will be tended... perhaps unlike the others. Tomorrow a short trip and bit of time, then back and to rest, most likely. I'm doing okay, but the heat is sort of getting to me. I have the fan and ac working my bedroom, so I can hit it more easily when I am finished with the day. Oh... never did finish the dishes. I'll just drain them and move them out of the way for now. Bleh. I'll post my blood serum when I do that. Hmm... should probably check the serum an hour, then two hours, after the meal. Curious. If I do those tests, I'll post the results as well. Other than that, good night.
------------------
Update: At 21:00, my blood sugar had dropped to 226. Okay, that got my attention. So I had rice. Initially a cup and an half, with two teaspoons of butter. That just wasn't enough. Should have had meat cooked, or cooked a chop or such. Testing blood sugar an hour after the meal and it was at 322. Yeah, next time I'll just have a pork chop, steak, or chicken hindquarter... or two. Still, that was an 100 point drop for the first fast. Definitely got my interest. I'll just have to nearly quit carbs and go pretty much totally meat. I'll work veggies and fruits in, to check.
There you go, though, if you were curious. Did fasting that long hurt me? Unless you die, will you ever really know? Long term health consequences are actually, probably, impossible to nail down. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it might be, but then it's been years since I have gone even a week without food. Perhaps my bitter memories of starvation are just that. Still, I don't think I want to go two days without food, or more. This 36 hour thing might not be bad, two or three times a week... in the odd way it could be fit in. That and going nearly all meat, fat, veggie, and fruits, plus sticking with tea, water when I can. Not bad. An hundred point drop is, yeah... interesting. I didn't have a drop in energy, if my energy isn't all that good either. Tomorrow is a normal day, then I'll see. Though normal days now mean meal(s) only in the early evening... so still a bit of a fast.
Oh, boiled eggs would be an excellent other choice. All protein and fat, or near enough. I might be on a roll.
Good night.
