Just can't wake up, get going. I've been... thinking... reading... doing some small things. It just hasn't gotten me anywhere. Tired enough to have a headache most of the day. Too little sleep, lately. Dark, cool, gloomy, and wet often enough.
I have the furnace up. It just doesn't matter, help. It is even 72 here, near the computer. But it feels cold. Yes, no. I am dressed relatively warmly. The warmer pj's, a tshirt, thermal jacket, wool socks, shoes... as warm as I am usually dressed in full winter weather.
I didn't eat. Did have a coffee, and tea. I will admit to have some minor hunger. Just not enough to do anything about it. I went hungry for three days, ate soup two afternoons in a row. Am having another day off, from food. Tomorrow? We'll see. That might be part of why I'm cool to cold? Maybe.
I have been taking medicine, but not checking bp yet. Blood sugar is finally starting to come down. At 153, it's still high from eating store food. BP? The first read was 156/113 with a pulse of 68. So I changed arms, did it again, and 143/109 with a pulse of 72. I don't mind the last one. It's pushing that edge, but the 109 is more important, and in the range. The three points of the other one isn't that important (to me, or my health in my mind). The right arm, and first read, after not taking reads for a while, is usually high. And, really, I could take another read, and it would be better. But... this... is good enough.
I did go up to 12.5 mg of carvedilol, twice a day again. For now. Was hoping that would do a bit better, a bit quicker. I think, until I get back to carnivore, this will be high. Same with blood sugar. But... it's... improving. Both are. Though fasting three to five days a week isn't a practical thing, long term. Though, that I can do it, relatively easily, even after eating carb laden food for a month, month and a half, is a good sign that my body is still, so far, holding on. I couldn't always even do that on keto. Never before keto.
Still, it looks like I'll be going to be earlier tonight. It's 20:35, or when I started this. I'm hoping to be on to bed by, before maybe, 21:00. Hungry. But just don't want to mess with food. I'm... good. Mostly. Goodnight.
I always (now) average my Bp logs between 3 readings, log all three but calculate that average, saved me from those "Why so high/ low?" panics which also drove the Bp.
ReplyDeleteCoffee and tea... USN 85-94, Graveyard shift 2001 to present, I was coffee! I also experienced gut problems, experimented with less coffee and discovered Tea! Then the tea lost its appeal, I know it's beneficial however, like alot of food now-days, not appetizing.
