About the photo. There is always "that guy". This is a California Quail - they're ground birds, like chickens. But there's always "that guy" that has to be different. "That guy" is identifying as a house finch (bird feeder bird). We love "that guy" doing his thing, his way. This is the "My Way" blog - I started it when I got my dx for diabetes, but there has always been a fashion/color thing going on. You'll still read about the medical piece, but far more about the color and fashion part of my life.

Intermittent Fasting

I had a pretty good carb day yesterday, but it was "grazing" and at the end of the day I was about ready to eat the carpet.  However, I also forgot my morning Metformin.

Husband suggested I have a "mio" water and a few chocolate chips to trick my body into thinking it was having dessert.

It worked.  Blood glucose shot up, I'm up a pound today and my Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) was 137.

I have to do something.

  1. Plan Better (have better food prepared and on hand)
  2. Have a generally "no cheat" lifestyle
  3. Dip my toes into intermittent fasting (today I'll eat breakfast at 9:00, last meal before 9:00 PM)
  4. I'm not working today, so a walk will work.
  5. Eat less than 50 carbs for the day.
Dangers in the house - 
  • Chocolate chips (Husband will take care of these)
  • Trail mix (I'll give this to Daughter)
  • Protein bars (not low carb) - these are for Husband and I pretty much leave them alone, as long as I have other, healthy snacks for me
  • Apples (there is one left, so if I have carbs left at the end of the day, I'll eat 1/4 of it and see what happens.)
