A long nap.

.

Three hours, and change?  Food took me out at the knees.  I will have another, but very small, fatted tea.  Blood sugar is down to 216, a fifty point drop from the meal high.  I checked ketones before the nap, I think.  They are between 80 and 160, so it isn't food that is ravaging diabetes, it is definitely the artificial sweetener.  I need to try to go without, cut back on volume and frequecy, plus alternate the kind I use.

Back to work today.  Trash has to go.  Laundry and dishes need worked, thus the fatted tea.  Just because my body is pumping out ketones doesn't mean it is using them yet.  Keeping extra fat, in smaller batches, is still seen as better... especially if I want to work.  I suspect I am not ketone adjusted, because of the exhaustion.  As well as minor flu symptoms... mostly headaches, neck and shoulder aches.

If I can keep in the keto zone, pick up the pace, and manage symptoms as the occur, I can work my way out of this.  I am working my way out.  Hmm... I think I saw a video about managing keto flu symptoms.  One sec...  Ah, here we go.  For any of you other fools trying the right way.  Innit?



Thankfully, I did find an electrolyte replacement which doesn't spike insulin... so far.  I need to get going on bone broth.  But that will take dishes and kitchen cleanup.  Cycling down means having to cycle back up.  As to working out?  House cleaning is a damned fine workout.  If I keep at it, a few sessions a day, an hour or three a session, it rocks.  Mix and match tasks, and it becomes a reasonable low-impact cardio-weight cross training.

 Someone keeps sending a vid.  Whatever.  It is a bit of a gas.  Although, no matter?  I really only choose potato salad.  As is.  Strange as I might be, I like what I like as I like it, if only finally... for the last twenty years?  Mostly.  Might still have echoes of... variance... or a minority report... but that is just what it is.  I'll get and give anywhile.



Shame?  Reasonable... when reasonable.  If you maintain shame after He releases you, of sin, then it is no longer shame, it is a stumbling block keeping you from Truth.  Of course, learn what sin truly is.  Review the ten commandments, the traditions of the church, and read the bible.  If you have shame for what isn't proscribed, or in ways it isn't, you have a problem with man, not God.  Let it go.  Find no pride in variance, if that is your walk, as that is death though too.  But, if you are diseased?  Keep it from becoming sin as you may, and find humility in it.  But don't let it become a false shame, either.  Imagine being ashamed of diabetes, heart failure, cataracts in the eye, or dry skin.

Time for a tiny fatted tea.  Later.
