I am still addicted to carbs. I have applesauce in my larder. Initially a placket. Between myself and the neighbors who helped themselves, I'm down to half that. I opened one last night. Sometimes, I say sometimes, boy, I can just have a portion, now and again, through the week. Not always, not this time. I downed the hole thing, starting at around what might pass for my suppertime, and ending at when one might call my breakfast, right after the soup.
I knew blood sugar would be high. How high was the question. And, it was, 158 fasting. That was before the final dose. Soup, the rest of it, and a fatted coffee. I was hoping blood sugar might drop, but not counting on it. Since I had the final dose after that reading. Dubious, but hopeful.
It is to 108. Okay. But, yes. If I start in, no guarantee I will stop at a bit. Depends on the time. Might just eat the whole kit and kiboodle? Yes, sometimes. Just like if I started drinking again. Oh, I might do a beer, or two, a time, or three. Eventually, though, I would down a case. Maybe with a fifth on the side, or two. If I kept it up, once or five times a month, I would drown in drink. No choice, I... can't... stop at just one, or a dozen, or a score. I... don't have limits.
Still, this time, I am getting off with a slightly stern warning. If it may yet bounce, up and down. This is okay.
I need to pull the steaks, to start them thawing. And checking out the store adverts... for more steak, burger, chicken, whatallelse. I keep looking for clean sausages, in store, and online. No sugar, dextrose, etc. If I can't simply pronounce it, and have no idea what it is? I won't eat it these days. Manufacturers will either turn a corner, or go bankrupt. Maybe, with this and that, at this point, they have no choice? Oh, they have a choice. And they are choosing to sell us out, to medical, pharma, and food industrial complexes, and the people who hate us who control those... bureaucrats.
Anyway... Having a second coffee. Not sure I'll get to work, today, but the goal is still the goal. And I will get to it, when... I get to it. Later.
Well, it is Fall, maybe our primitive selves are packing up for winter. I've been snacking more these past few days. Putting more on my plate than I would a month ago. Gotta get back to small portions, been using regular sized plates, back to the cup saucers. Apples and grapes are a weakness now.
ReplyDeleteBe well.
I do believe you have it. Peckish for the season to be sure. I had two packs of kippers last night. But they weren't very tasty. I have some packs that are older, possibly too old? Nah, but... old enough they aren't optimal. Or I just wasn't as in the mood for those as I had thought I would be. Still, it was... something.
ReplyDeleteI really want more apple sauce. Ugh. But I won't.
Steaks were on sale. But they... talked me into the better grade. Still, I only eat a few of those a week, so they... pan out, even when doubling down. And I was able to get them extra thick. T-bones, so not my favorite. But... It'll do. And thirty pounds of hamburger. And I ordered tuna steaks, ten pounds. Lasts well. And... I'll gift a few of those.
I've been coasting, almost out of meats. A three to six month restocking, even so, is less than I would spend per month on the regular diet! Though I want to get a few chicken, and look over the chuck roasts.
Food... yes. Definitely coming fall. Food is... calling. Hmm... grapes. Honeycrisp apples. But, no. You enjoy, as you must. I already had my apple for the while.
