Or so. Still, the winds, breezes, gusts, and clouds are keeping it cooler in the house. Well, not in this front room. But in the main. Probably not upstairs, either.
Blood sugar was 136, last I checked. I had felt it fall, so had used a few mints. Nothing heavy, not many. So, I must have hit that about right. Sure, I'd like it lower. But given that I required a boost, that worked out as well as I can do it. You can't goose the engine without something of a spike. If... that spike is needed sometimes.
Since then, just water. I am drinking a lot more. More coffee, but a lot more plain water. I only have a perrier every other, or third, day. A treat, now. Strangely, that is good enough. For a long time I really couldn't drink plain, even r.o., water. Refrigerated or else. I'm not sure what changed, but I am, and comfortably, drinking r.o. water. Sometimes refrigerated, sometimes not. It used to make me so very dry. Glad to be able to drink plain water. Must have been with the help of perrier, to get me away from sweetened tea. Then r.o. water to get me away from perrier and fatted coffees.
Hmm, no, still drinking probably too many fatted coffees... on the caffeine side of things. The fats are fine, especially when I'm down to 100 calories of fat per drink, and I only have two or three. Well, sometimes I have been having powdered cream, and protein powder, sometimes additively (if I cut liquid cream when I add powdered... usually). So, about... 200 to 250 calories per coffee? Yeah. Oh, I should start icing it! Well, I need ice. And the season for that just started.
Well, on... to something. I am hungry. Not sure I really have anything to eat. Hmm... bleh. Another fatted coffee? I suppose. Technically, or literally to one degree, it is a new day. Later.

ReplyDeleteOnly rarely will I drink sweetened tea, having pretty much kicked the habit long years ago. This became a problem during my years in South Carolina, where the restaurants serve tea so thick with sugar you could cut it with a knife.
Yes, South Carolina, down through to Florida, and probably over to Louisiana? I had thought Texas might be in that? Now, my sweeteners are (mostly) keto friendly... which are low carb until/unless they aren't. But... there was always that last.
ReplyDeleteI remember that tea, of which you speak, from when I was in the service though. Wouch. I never did that twice. I think, even on bases, it was common. Had to make sure what you were getting. I think the first time I got it, I thought they had put some sort of syrup over ice. As a cook, I would call it simple syrup these days.
Something else, in the Southeast, was rabbit. Had it nowhere else, in the Navy. Very good. But... they took a nearly fatless animal, breaded it thickly, then deep fried it. :p With sweet tea. Probably just a Navy thing?
In Texas they'll deep fry Coca-Cola and chocolate bars at state fairs.
ReplyDeleteSnickers, in Iowa. Deep fried. All good. All is fair which is foul at state fairs. Not even I hassle that! :p A Confusion saying, or three, regarding such... I am sure. It's just the regular diet items I might ding, or not. In Iowa, it wasn't so much A food, as things like crisco, and margarine. But, they tricked the whole nation into eating that garbage, and putting flour on everything. Tasty, but deep fried fast carbohydrates, in the worst of oils, was just asking for it. It was planned.
ReplyDeleteThough... where they planning for medical... as in the medical industrial complex, and big pharma? Was that the end goal, or just something they realized they could profit from, while on the way to genocide by food? I really think they simply wanted us to eat poorly so that we would die younger. Top to bottom, though, too. And, well, it... didn't work as they planned? So they moved on to profiting from their evil, in a new direction.
