I hoped I'd be awake early. I slept a good long bit earlier last night, then got back to bed before the night was through. Down, again, around three, up just shy of 6:20. Nice. It's down to 78/77 upstairs, 71 down here. A bit cooler than expected, given that it was at least 92 yesterday, outside? I'll take it. Still running without either of the air conditioners. Crazily. Not sure how long that will last, but I'll take it. Especially as comfortable as I am.
----------
Two appointments seem stacked. I thought I might be able to make it. I want to call and check. It might just be too tight? I don't want to miss either of them, think I would rather forestall one of them. The easiest one to change would be the wound clinic. It's getting better, so much better I am dying to see the improvements. But... I already missed the kidney clinic once. I... they get fussy with too many misses. Even when it is rescheduled ahead of time. Fussy, fussy. And, I get it. I do.

Blood sugar is 123 fasting! That, as the new low, down from 160! Nice. I don't know how these things work. But I like that they do, now, work, more along the lines of how one would think they should. From well over three hundred to 123 since the 18th? So, in six days, if more really like five counting from late on the 18th? Okay. But... yes.
Oh, and I stepped on the scale as I was heading out yesterday. 240. Then again, this morning. I figured I had gained weight. From the day or two of extra eating? Well, and just coming back into carnivore. But, I almost suspected, from coming back in, and being straight carnivore for a while, it might already have dropped. Two pounds, when first coming back to, or getting on, carnivore, isn't unusual. Sometimes more. More. At 336.9, that is 3.1 pounds down. I haven't even had a morning bm, though maybe had an afternoon one yesterday? Maybe. Still, a nice tracking thing.
From here on in, it'll still be bouncy. Some days it may eventually begin dropping to the 80s and 90s. But some days it'll be this high. It's just as good as I get. Perhaps, in a few years, it might get better? I'll find out.
Coffee is brewing. I'll have a fatted coffee now. And, maybe, if needed, another later. Less cream today, both times if twice is the gig. Going light. The first one I will use sweetener, since that seems not to be impinging my plans. But the second one will be bitter and white, like most of the women I have known. Pill, brother, sister, bitter pill. I love... a little tart, even if she is prudish about that. *grins*
----------
Next? I would like to hit some laundry, set up dishes, get the freezertop cleared and cleaned. Hopefully, with nothing else going today, I'll get the whites through, finish the dishes, and maybe take a shower later? Then set up another load of dishes? We'll see. I'm feeling good enough that those things are possible. Just possible, not probably. We will see.
Good morning and day.
I need to pickup more cream, which I find adds a pleasant "nutty" flavor, Just not after the maintenance buzzsaw I walked into this morning, don't want me near a liquor aisle "not today" almost everything that could be a problem... WAS! (least I didn't drop any of the fiddly parts into the dark corner where that big female Wolf Spider keeps eyes on us). Shouted at my supervisor (he earned every decibel I gave), won't do shop politics, but I threw the Bu!!$hit flag when warranted.
ReplyDelete"Evening" meal three tiny Halibut fillets,(I've had bigger perch, crappie, and trout) first two I scarfed down, then slowly got that "tightening in the gut (one of my nausea signs) shared one that sat getting room temp for awhile with a pup. Will "graze" thru the kitchen in a bit, I don't think after my mini-fast, that I've taken in enough.
Laundry on the list, may need to binge watch "Deadliest Catch" while laundering to catch up on this season.
Yes, cream is... absolutely delicious. And generally goes down well. Better than most other fats. But, I still, sometimes, need bitters with it. Still, it is one of the best, easiest, fats to take down if you can handle dairy. So very easy, and as much fat as you can handle. Do you have raw dairy available, or has the big dairy shut out, outlawed, that there? I can't get it in Utah, but Idaho is right near, and just a short drive. So, I get that. Far superior, if available, affordable.
ReplyDeleteNot sure your whole work story, but I sure get the gist. I've... had that either at home, or helping someone else when I could. Loverly memories, now. Not so much in the moment, always. *grins*
Uhrm, halibut. I do like that. I miss fish, but good fish is so expensive wild caught, and I won't touch the rest.
Good to know the signs. Bitters will help with that. I do hate that little pinch of harsh, with the bitters, but it is so short compared to nausea.
I miss cruising the kitchen cupboards and larder collections here and there, when I used to eat. Felt like a shark, circling, circling, striking! Might just be peanut butter and jelly, or a tuna sandwich, but... used to be so fun. I sort of miss that.
But I never get hungry like that anymore. And, I sort of like knowing exactly what I will be eating, and usually when. No... impulse involved. Like what we used to believe astronauts were like? Or wanted to believe? Scientific, even to their diet? Automatons, on some things, without passion? And, yes, it is powerful to own my hunger. As a fact, I won't be eating for the next three days. A fatted coffee a day, but water otherwise. Nice. And it's a decision, not nausea or else.
Good luck with your cruising anyway. May you find a delicious edible or three, and enjoy.
Didn't eat anything again 'til 15-1600, 1/2 peach because I just couldn't sleep with the "oogie-tummy". Lay down early and read in a couple multi-hour blocks when sleep lead to sweat too...
ReplyDeleteI am doing so much better, on carnivore. So far. You don't have bitters yet, do you? That might really help. When I'd get the sweats, sometimes with nausea, sometimes on it's own, the bitters helped with that. Not guarantee. If it's just hot there, or something else.
ReplyDeleteNot sure, perhaps a pharmacy might carry bitters? Walmart, Target (I avoid them, but), are there any other k-mart clones left? That way you don't have to go to a store that sells alcohol. CVS, or other pharmacies? Dunno.
What's odd? Your fight with alcohol is tied with your fight with carbs. They are sort of two sides of the same coin.
Oh, and peaches? Pretty much sugar. Not telling you not to, you have to at this point. I at an apple, and tested it. Then, when blood sugar normalized, ate a snickers. The apple caused a higher spike. I'd bet a peach would absolutely trash blood sugar readings. Still, if it's what you can get in, for now...
