Not much done yesterday.

A shower and a thorough cleaning of the toilet summed up the day.  Even with the furnace jacked, it feels cold.  I suspect it has less to do with the home than it has to do with me.  I have been testing blood sugar ever so occasionally.  It has been in the 220~240 range every time I have tested.  I haven't been able to fast, not multi-day.  However, this last effort was better, for whatever that means.  And my last blood sugar at 175 seemed to show that some effort did something.  That also may be why I am feeling so cool.

This week I am going to begin making an attempt at fasting through the day, eating only an evening, if extended meal.  Eating as necessary, to get the thing going, is easily made up for by having extended periods of fasting.  I have never gained weight, somehow, even when eating in excess in that four hour meal period and as I wish.  Further, that doesn't last and my appetite eventually falls back into line.  Then weight loss rockets... at least to a point.  After that, if I keep up, while I may not lose weight, I do lose size/volume.  I am still on the crux between 40's and 38's.  I'd like to push that down to 36 waists, then keep it going until... until it's done.  Then begin exercising and hiking a bit more in earnest.  Trying to do much with this much extra is a bit of a losing battle.  Although I'd like to hit snowshoeing regularly, at least here abouts... at least when I can.

My pinky is actually starting to hurt.  Sometimes quite a lot.  Not that it matters, at this point, one way or another.  I still shovel, or do other work.  I just am surprised it hurts now but not before.  The tip of that pinky is at least as big as my ring finger tip, which for me is still quite large.  I have no idea when that is going to heal.  But it wasn't just a minor thing, I guess.  I'm just glad I didn't lose it, or the fingernail.

I need to get the trash collected, and out.  The cat litter is good.  I will top it off at the end of the month, which should double down it's life.  I like to be as frugal as possible, but not beyond some point.  Frugality, however, often requires a bit of work.  The dollar or the back, that seems to be the choice.  After that, I will put dishes to soak, and consider laundry... unless another shower or bath is in order.  My feet are really coming back around.  Another month like this and there may be no telling that they had ever nearly brought me to death.  Just a dry patch on top, where the skin had been stretched by water weight remains to possibly show.  Hmm, haven't even been taking medicine, not sure why I'm not having water retention problems now... well... maybe an idea.

Later.
