More than possible.

I did make potato salad.  It was a bit bland, to me, but I couldn't figure out what was missing and more salt would have been too much.  I did salt the potato cubes while they cooked, or it is far worse.  Hmm.  I did find a pure dill relish that is quite good.   I used two kinds of mustard, the regular yellow and a stone ground type.  Perhaps the potato cubes were simply too large.  Still, a homemade potato salad is still a bit of a treat.

I had brots to offer as well.  The guests had to bring buns, as I ran out of time and energy on else.  It was perfect weather for an outdoor small picnic.  After, I slow cooked a pork roast and chicken hindquarters.  I sampled some of each.  I was worried that the blood draw would be bad this morning.

I didn't want to get up this morning, in part for fear of the blood test.  The other part for being sore.  I haven't written everything I have done in the last few days, but it has been much.  So I am sore and stiff today.  All good.  Aspirin, for I have chickens to help butcher, and more to do here as well.

As to the blood sugar?  Not bad, for a fasting draw... 155, which is six points higher than yesterday's fasting blood sugar, seven points lower than the day before that, seven points higher then total average for the week, four points lower than the two week total average.  As the fasting blood sugar, that is actually awesome.  As fasting blood sugar, until it goes to 120 or lower, is the highest reading of the day.  Yesterday's other readings were 137 after a hearty breakfast and 114 before dinner.

My guts hurt, but this time it has a simple cause.  I have been down, at home.  As such I have been wearing pj's.  So, putting on jeans and cinching down the belt, has put a bind where it has been unbound for a long time.  It has literally sqeezed the, well, crap out of me.  At least I didn't have to stew prunes!  Truth is I had become irregular, but not truly bound.  I was mostly out of food, and the battery was dead, plus money is low.  I simply wasn't eating much.  The belt mostly just pushed dust out.  :p  Still, a bit sore for that, bending to wash pots and pans, and a dozen other littler and bigger efforts.  Aspirin for certain.  That, fatted tea, and pork or chicken.

Oh, as for ketonic?  I actually have several types.  The one I usually discuss, is the base of fatted tea... tea and whole raw cow cream, with ketone salts (a single dose, were two or three doses are possible a day, as with all the additives listed after), a dose of taurine, a dose of berry green powder, and a dose of electrolytes.  Depending on what I am doing the rest of the day I may have another.  I may exclude some things, or all but fatted tea.  I use this on multiday fasts, sometimes.  On intermediate fasting days, I just have the fatted tea or two, as a means of getting more fat into my diet.  As with today.  It allows me to consume a small hunk of meat or a few small pieces of chicken, and still get enough fat and generally be satisfied.

Well... I'll see how the clothes are doing, reset the rinse to the remaining dishes, have something to eat, and then do a bit of crocheting before showering in prep for the trip.  I'll need to rest tomorrow.  Later.
