I mean, I wasn't sure if the blood sugar would seriously spike after eating
bread, with the hotdogs (actually polish sausages, but... tomato tomato, shut
it). At
132, it is slightly more elevated, but not into the two or three hundred range,
which common bread will do. And, yes, I looked for a bread with the
ratio, and no sugar added. Almost a unicorn to find, but it exists, in
some stores, or places. Can't remember where I bought it?
Avoid Amazon, they charge a lot, and their bread is... often...
questionable. They cut edges I won't go with mostly. The few they
have that technically look right (and some that absolutely fail) cost from $8
on up for a smaller loaf quite often. Buying them in groups doesn't help
that much, either.
This loaf was in the three to four dollar range. And is a bit smallish
of a loaf. But, that I can have toast once in a while? I'll take
that. As well, it freezes well. I just pull a few pieces out, toss
it into the oven at 350, let it stew for ten while I do other food prep.
Then, done.
I didn't even need to add a fatted coffee to keep the blood sugar spike
lower. Though that might have helped. But, that... is a fasting
blood sugar I can live with, especially after going off the wagon in a
relatively biggly way.

I slept very well, even though it was around 80 when I went up to go down,
that at 23:30. I woke just shortly past 5:30. Having, mostly,
rested yesterday. But having been going like a train nearing going off
the rails prior, I had restored energy and was ready to wake. And I love
beating the alarm, and turning the thing off. I hate when I beat the
alarm, but forget to turn it off, but am too tired to go back up and amend
that. So... just have to suffer through it's bleeping, several
times. I think it has the timed alarm, and one or two snoozes all on
it's own. And, I have two alarm times on that one. Wonderful, if I
miss one. And as good as I can do for alarm clocks. But very
annoying if I get to listen to it while trying to wake.
--------
Dental is coming up. And, while I have been doing okay to good, brushing
teeth, more in the last two months, but even better before that than how I had
been doing. I am... pushing it. I want the teeth better.
But, hopefully, beyond this appointment. As my life improves, I am
trying to improve all things. Including dental care. I,
technically, don't need to do much care. I have survived years without
care, and without dental issues... other than... darkening, staining.
But that would happen no matter, for a coffee/tea/soda drinker. But...
I... should be ready.
I have, too, been practicing a soft touch, while brushing. And, getting
in behind my teeth, particularly the back of the front teeth. Those are
tricky. For me. Trying to do an orbital movement, left to right,
right to left, and then top to bottom and bottom to top. I think I have
it. This appointment will be the tell, if I need more practice, and even
softer touch, or such. But... should be an improvement. Will find
out.
Oh, and I always wait an half hour before coffee, after brushing. Or...
brush an half hour after having coffee or food. Look, I am
argumentative. But, if I have some faith in them, and I... lend that on
some things (not on fluoride, albeit), then I will use their little tricks and
tips... including using the softest touch, using an orbital pattern on the
fronts and backs of teeth, brushing for at least two minutes (I go to the
three minute mark so I don't have to tend seconds, and this one has been
critical, in my opinion), and not eating or drinking an half hour from
brushing. And? I think those pieces of advice are excellent.
--------
Yes, a bit of tinkering online. Then coffee. Maybe the other half
of the steak? Maybe. And just a bit of resting waking. But,
then, work in a few hours.
The goal is the kitchen table, cleared, burned down to the bare top.
Moving some kitchen carts into the master bedroom. Clearing the floor
somehow. And then sweeping and mopping in the kitchen, bathroom hall,
and bathroom. How much beyond, or fancy, that all gets... I'll
just have to see what I can do.
I may do a bit more here on the desk, maybe in the living room, and just maybe
on the other desk in this room. Will... see. Oh, and I have a cart
in this room that could go into the master bedroom.
All of it? Doubtful. But, sometimes, when I get on a roll, I just
keep rolling. Could do a lot. And, success breeds success.
It just does. But it also breeds exhaustion. Will find out, won't
we?
Morning dissonance? Enjoy or not.
Later.
Someone opened up the house last night , good!, 76 downstairs.
ReplyDeleteAnother Phat coffee now, I have another small bison sirloin, but think I'll make it a light cottage cheese day. (coffee definitely better with the heavy cream).
Staring at this, not much more to say.
While there may be problems with living with others, even loved ones *cough*, there are advantages when it works. As is, if anything is done, it is me doing it. (Save for when people break in, if only to steal things.)
ReplyDeleteSirloin really has impressed me. And, as I said, if I could afford bison, I might even add that in. Well, and if I liked it? Then again, I didn't think I liked beef sirloin until trying it, again, recently.
One thing you'll notice, once you go more carnivore? If you go more carnivore? Your tastes change. Slowly, subtly, mildly. Now soda, regular, tastes as salty as sweet, and just... wrong. But, sirloin tastes almost sweet, and really good where I used to love the former and hate the latter.
I am going down to just one fatted coffee a day, and half a steak a day, though altering steaks. Sirloin, ribeye, and new york strip are my choices these days. I won't even bother with burger, it just doesn't taste good anymore.
But it's summer, so water won't be in excess, as dry as it is. And as hot as it is.
Well... enjoy your day. Don't die, unless you get to die. And... dissonance. As I mentioned. It may be a bit... chaotic for some. But these... are where I live? Or have lived? Or will live? Or... some such. But, peaceably, these days, strangely. God has a way with even my kind. If we happen to be able to hear, and choose to attempt to listen.
Lullabies for even the wolf, bear, were creatures, and other darklings. Later.
Had to add a can of Kippers to the cottage cheese, almost cut into the bison raw (salt-n-peppa) maybe tomorrow... tiger meat i think they call it. Maybe I need to up my iron pills? Will look for a good lean sirloin to carve off of soon. Wish I had access to 90's era Omers Market sirloin. Craving RAW fish and red MEAT! What am I not getting in my diet? Raw cravings? I've craved sugar, green veggies, and carbs, never raw meat to this extent... R.A.W. I think I'd be up for some blood&milk Masai warrior style... Bite into a raw steak!
ReplyDeleteFamily lore: My grandmother once ate over a pound of RAW hamburger on the ride from town to the farm, I've driven it... Possible. She in turn exposed me to pink burger to raw burger...
Thank you Clara. (her maiden name is the same as a township in Norway located between Stavanger and Sandness)
Seriously... I'm craving raw meat... what am I missing?
I knew working nights this long would turn me into a Werewolf or Vampire... has it started?
Oh, hey don't you die either, We have conversations to have, in the future. Both of us have our whole life story to tell... Don't go until you've told the good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI leave offerings to the Ravens on Grizzly Peak (may they let Odin know), no wolves/ bears, rumor of Panthers?, 'yoties are trouble. Foxes... ebb and flow Dominant predator takes out a smaller one... now we get more (or less) quail and bunnies depending on what gets whacked. We have a surplus of turkeys and gophers... guess the hawks & Owls need to step up.
Gophers... I loved shooting gophers... maybe not that much, I haven't searched it out recently. But even then it wasn't pleasure, it was part of the job maintaining a farm. And I was good at it, so, that was pleasurable.
Nowhere near 100g, will see about egg supplementation, will up slow until I find out how much my liver can process. Gut doing "good" inside, may be retaining some fluid in the belly, legs I can feel the top of the sock ridge doesn't look bad. Weight steady 275 +/-5 depending on time of day.
ReplyDeleteGophers, old iron sighted Henry in .22 LR, about 95% of the critter cases (including injured livestock) .22 was efficient. 50 yards or much less, nothing fancy. Have several other "reach out and touch" "tools" I have not kept up on the discipline, and my eyes are turning old.
Well, then you know what your hunger is. Protein. Pure and simple. That... is on you though. I think I mentioned that I thought keeping up to 200 grams of protein a day was impossible. But... with steak? Not so impossible. Though to get enough fat in, it gets tricky. If you believe in higher fat than protein, which I do.
ReplyDeleteRight, about compression. The reason I go with compression hose (nothing like panty hose, mind you, trust me), is because knee high and thigh high hurt too much. I end up puffing out at where the socks end, and it hurts like hell. Yes, you... lose some pride. But between how much it has helped the wound that would not heal, and keeping fluid retention at bay, it... choices. Pride and a fall, or... humble submission. I... bowed. I think... God has commanded that I tend my body, live, even if humbly. So... I do.
Hmm... a .22 is a fine rifle. To be honest, if you learn how to use it, and stalk, you can take a deer with it. Maybe more, but that is pushing it. I have a lever Henry, with irons, that I... do love. After a lot of work, and taking it in to a smithy, she shoots dead to rights out to 75, even 100 without wind, and a little low.
Reminds me, I should get out and do some plinking. I have a .22 pistol too. Fine little piece.
Yes... eyes, as I say, are getting a bit rheumy? Or sich.
