Up... late and early.

.

Not the four or six I am working on, but not the nine or ten of the last few mornings.  Up at seven thirty, then to tend morning chores, duties, needs.  The furnace turned up, and the heat in this front room on.  Down sometime between 20:30 and 19:15, I think.  No, I didn't get to much yesterday.  But I did arrange for something that is... vexing.  I'll... tell you more, when it is managed.  AFTER it has been tended.

Blood sugar is being booger sticky.  Not dropping hardly at all.  Two days of complete carnivore?  Hmm, maybe those beef sticks aren't what they pretend.  Or maybe the pickled pork hocks have unlisted sugars added?  You can't trust big business, or even little.  They will tell and print untruths without beating an eye.  It is 164 fasting, and was 173 yesterday and 183 the day before.  As high as 194 about a week ago, the rest between that and 183.  Working on it.  If that was as high as it has gotten.

Though, it may just be that I wasn't able to intermittent fast.  I ate through the day yesterday.  Hungry.  And, if you are on carnivore, and are still hungry?  You... feed that hunger, until you can get out ahead of hunger.  It's the only way to really do it.  Which means you may gain wait on the front end.  

While I have been seriously keto, that isn't enough, even now, for my system.  It was good to test some varied foods.  Most of it is too expensive though.  Much of it doesn't work at keeping blood sugar low.  And, worse, it brings back the taste for other things that harm blood sugar.  Keto only works if you have complete control over your diet.  I don't.  If I eat carbs, drink beer, whisky, or vodka, or took a hit of a cigarette or cigar or pipe?  I would crumble like a cheap suit.  I might not even just fall in the one area.  Cigarettes would lead me to drinking, and drinking would lead me back to tobacco.  So... yeah.

I can do salads.  I can have cabbage (with butter, and beef, lamb, or chicken).  But most of the other stuff I have to stay away.  It just draws me to more of what is doing bad things to me.

No coffee, until my walk.  Incentives!  I can have water, and medicine though.  If that causes problems with walking, I'll nix those until after.  What problems?  Who ever knows.  I just need to wake just a bit more before going out.  On the good side, the cold, for me, isn't too much or a problem.  I mean, if it drops to 20 below, sure.  But even to zero F, it just isn't really a problem.  Especially if I throw handwarmers into my pockets or wear gloves.

On to my morning.  Later.
