Rennie Great on the new low 159.4
. I know about that fbs really sucks when you think it should be better because of the weight loss. I had a new low this morning of 222.8 exactly 1 lb lower than yesterday. My fbs was 129 yesterday so I thought great weight down and bp good and the stupid fbs was149
Like I said just doesn't really make sense to me. However, I suddenly realized that maybe since we lose some and seem to stall while our body adjusts, just maybe when we have the bounce with the fbs when we lose is the body adjusting too. I think there are just more going on here than we know. Anyway, I do believe that if we continue to do the best we can and get the weight off that the fbs will finally balance out and catch up. I just don't really want to have to live on Atkins Induction for the rest of my life to do it. Which makes me wonder how bad do I really want this. If AI was the only way to be healthy for me, wouldn't I want be willing to do it? I just don't understand my thinking.
I had a cousin who was born with T-1 diabetes. I was only around her a few times, but she would sneak around and get candy bars to eat. I remember thinking as we got older why she didn't take her condition more seriously. She finally went blind before she died. She would tell me, I know I'm not supposed to have candy but I don't care, I eat it any way. She and her brother both had T-1 and he lost limbs etc. That puzzled me when they had the attitude they had and I have to say that even today my attitude puzzles me. Like a little kid, I try to find a way around being able to have what I want without hurting myself. I get so angry with myself.
Carol Sue I don't know why I didn't think of this yesterday. I don't have heart problems, but sometimes if I get too much caffeine, I get palpitations and I've heard of other like DH DD has a valve problem and she does the same thing when she drinks too much coffee which she does a lot. Have you had any extra caffeine from any where lately? Just a thought. Maybe it is something you are eating or drinking.
Shannon Hope you got some much needed rest last night and that you little sweetheart is feeling better.
I looked at the IanG fish thread and got some ideas for food for my trip. You know low carb diets says you shouldn't eat smoked oysters etc., but I love them so I could take them on my trip to eat for snacks or in place of breakfast. I might get some instant plain oatmeal and those and have them for breakfast. I'm finding that a really good breakfast seems to keep me balanced on eating throughout the day.
I had a low carb breakfast this morning, but then breakfast isn't always difficult to do. I'm giving up the bacon and switching to the Jimmy Dean's turkey lowfat sausage. I thought about doing South Beach but it is low fat diet and while I lose pretty good on lowfat, I don't think it is healthy. However, I can do SBD using healthy fats. So may as well take the best of Atkins and the best of SBD and create my own way of doing it. That way I choose the lowfat products I will or can use and use the healthy fats in place of the others.
Y'all were discussing which fats to use butter or margarine etc the other day. I asked my doctor about that. He said it doesn't really matter which one I use, it how much I use. He the main thing to remember is that you are not supposed to use a whole lot of any of it.
Well, got to get busy around here. Here's to hopefully a healthy lower carb day for me. At least that is what I'm shooting for. Maybe I will be able to get into the 2teens by the time I go to see my doc and take my trip. I am keeping up with my numbers on MFP and tracking does help keep me exercising and staying within 1400 to 1500 cals a day.
Ruthie and Fatmad Miss you two.
