Interesting set of strange things.

Just here at home.  The world is burning, ripping itself apart, and the war is pretty much on and has been brought to the civilized word by uncivilized elites, but... that's nothing new.

The highest I saw for a temperature reading today was 91.  It might have gotten higher.  That is the minimum high (according to that instrument).  Now, the inside thermometer is rather accurate, I have no issues with it.  It read 73, at the time it was 91 outside.  It rose to 74, but with the outside temp dropping.  That is a really nice spread.  Why?  Well, I opened the ceiling vent into the upper floor.  Really?  I... don't think I need ac.  Further, on a really hot day, if I open several or all the windows up there, it might really cool things down even faster.  Higher level, possibly more air flow, and with somewhere for the hotter air to go.  Wow.  Just saying.  And to think I suffered for so long without realizing that.

As to blood sugar?  Since dumping the sugared gum, at around noon, the blood sugar has dropped to 220.  Yeah, I'm gnomming (chewing) like a monster.  And probably will for several weeks.  The hope is that I will slowly back away from even the gum.  It's a crutch.  Much as the 48-hour fasting is a crutch.  The 24-hour fasting is probably more of a long term thing.  Something I haven't added in will, hopefully, also become long term... exercise.  I may start as simply as walking.  If I go that way, an half an hour of walking is the goal.  I would like to begin freeweights, but... one thing at a time.  Fasting, watching fluid intake, and managing other things is about as much as I wish to stress my system all at once.  I don't think it is too much but I don't know what, exactly, is too much.  If I get to walking an half hour on each fast day, before breaking the fast, and do that for a month... or two... then I'll begin looking at something heavier.  Then, whether by itself, or as an addition to walking?  I'll see then.

When it all goes in for me, it really works.  Clicking right along.  I am still a bit troubled... collar bone and a few other things... weight changes? biology shifts?  It doesn't seem to be of the organs, more as if my body is shifting on my bones, adjusting a different and even now changing load.  Not a true complaint, just notes for any who are curious or considering the path I am on.  If things go well the rest of this week, and into next week, I'll begin walking before breaking the fast on the longer fasts.  Look, there, I've penned it into the calendar.  I'm not sure if that will be a longer fasting day, but that will be when I begin planning.  Plus, planning ahead gets me geared up for it.

Good night.
