Sunny and 92.

.

Well, not actually sunny.  Partly to be honest.  Which... it just seems that if the sun isn't going to be out in full, we shouldn't have to put up with it's heat.  AmIright?  Still, it is what it is.  I looked at one thermo, the one I don't trust, and it was suggesting 84.  I checked online, it suggested it was 89, but heading to 92 as a high.  I checked the thermometer I trust outside, in the shade... 92.  Yeah, I know which I trust.  Definitely 92, in the shade.  No worries, it, again, is only 74 in here.  Which, with one fan going?  Really?  So nice.

I have the grill going.  It doesn't seem to be heating up all that fast.  Which is fine.  Though I'll have to keep on it.  Pork chops, a few hamburger patties, grapefruit, and...  milk... for sure.  Oh, not all in one meal.  I have two meals.  Sometimes a snack in there... peanuts or pistachios or other fruit if I have it.  It's more fat and protein.  I have no problem breading the chops though, and that doesn't seem to be a problem with blood sugars.  Nor is milk an issue, whole milk anyway.  I am even going to begin adding beer to the menu, two per day for one of the meals, every other meal day.  Will not go completely carb-free.  Will watch, test, take some, enjoy, test.  If something doesn't work, it's gone, at least for a while.  If control is attained, then reconsideration on things I really like.  Some things will just go away, like sugar and heavily sugared items, for the most part.  If I do something sweet, it'll be chocolate once a month, a truly homemade pie, from fresh fruit, once a quarter, something like that.  You can keep your shelf-stable junk sweets, for the most part.

I did test blood sugar.  It was at 231.  I'm not sure if it is the gum that makes it go up, bile from chewing, tea?  I really don't know.  Maybe it just goes up, because.  Still, often in the afternoons it has jumped to 250's and 260's, even into 300's.  So, I suppose, this is doable.  I am curious about my weight this next reading.  It was 272, then maybe a week or two later was down to 257, then 254.  Chomping to weigh in, if I don't think I have lost that much.  A pound a week, and since weight isn't my priority, I'm not sure that will always be the case.  It's more a curiosity, at this point.  The weight loss to this point is, mostly, a wild fluke.  It wasn't on any menu, it just happened.  So... I'm not expecting much, if I have some hope.  It would be awesome to tell my mom I am down to 240 again though.  I think she is one of the few people who has ever seen me at that weight or less, fully grown.  My brother was living somewhere else, we both split off and were parted for years.  Saw each other a time or two when we were both in the service, but just for a few days max.  Yep, she is probably the only one even alive who would remember, that I still know.

Best check on the grill, then perhaps set up the meat.  I won't start cooking until 15:00.  Hmm, I do have eggs boiled though.  I might have one or two while cooking.  Yeah, I'm extra hungry today.  Later.
