Weird day. My morning sugar was 206. I took it again immediately and it was 201. About an hour later it was 186. Four hours later it was 130.
I don't understand the spike in the morning. I checked it before even drinking any coffee. Last night I was desperate for a cold drink and my water in the fridge had not yet cooled. I gave in an drank about a cup, maybe a cup and a half of 2% milk. Could that have caused it? dunno
I felt really bad today. Even after drinking only water and one cup of coffee I felt terrible. Tired, weak and mentally not sharp. I do have sleep apnea so maybe I didn't get any sleep last night. I called off work and went back to bed. I slept for 5 hours and woke up pretty much fine. I think that was it. That hasn't happened for several weeks.
I napped again later for 4 hours so I'm pretty sure the whole issue was lack of restful sleep. Still doesn't explain the morning blood sugar unless it was the milk.
Now it's 1:30 and I'm beginning to get sleepy so I'll take advantage of that and go to bed.

This morning my blood sugar was 132. That's without the insulin the VA Clinic game me and my family doctor told me I needed. Still haven't weighed myself since my doctor appointment last week. I'm planning to stop at the Marc's store an use their scale. But then I've planned that everyday since I thought of it.
Ate breakfast today. Off to a good start. I'll take something to work for lunch. Maybe something for a snack later.
I've found so many good recipes that I don't feel like taking the time to cook. So I've been eating pepperoni, salami, microwaved brats and such. It seems I don't mind cooking a burger so I eat those too. All the veggies I eat are raw.
I'm taking a "free day" Saturday which is our family picnic. The thought of that has been on my mind a lot, trying to plan my attack. hahaha I don't want to gorge and don't think I can actually.
The last time I was on the Atkins diet I took a free day after about 3 weeks. It was Easter. Went to mom's for dinner and ate everything I wanted but not nearly as much as I thought I might. The next free day was a few weeks later when I couldn't stand seeing Oreo's in the supermarket any longer. So I bought a bag. I sat down with that and a big cold glass of milk. I was ready for evil heaven. The oreos tasted like crap! Noting like I remembered them. It seems like all that time without sugar has made the Oreo's taste like "processed food" so much more than I remember.
The picnic will have all home cooked food and bakery stuff. I'm really looking forward to a guilt-free afternoon nibbling on some great stuff. But in my plan of attack I'm going to be mindful of my blood sugar in an effort to not go overboard. I have always gone overboard.

Really bad food day today. I didn't eat until 5pm and then it was 66% of my RDA. No breakfast, no snack, no lunch and no snack before dinner. I just didn't feel like eating. I don't find myself in the "not feeling well" category. I just didn't feel like eating.
Maybe a better start tomorrow.

I wish I had a bathroom scale. No, I don't need to weigh my bathroom. I'm certain it's of a typical and proper weight. I do however need to weigh myself more consistently.
I re-started the Atkins diet on Monday. But didn't re-start MyFatSecret until Wednesday wherein I entered my last known weight of 260 lbs. Then, the next day I was able to weigh myself at 255. It made it look like I lost 5 lbs. in one day. I didn't. Not sure when the next opportunity will come to weigh-in. Maybe tomorrow I'll make the short trip to our local Marc's store where they have an old dial scale that is pretty accurate. I sometimes shop there so I could make that my weight station for the sake of consistency. Whatever.
Starting the diet this time I am more focused on my health issues rather than weight loss. Of course I'll lose weight by following the suggestions of the diet but I'm looking for better blood work numbers as a first consideration.
It's understood that frequent weigh-ins can be a barometer as to how well one is doing with their diet. It can be either encouraging or show a need for sticking more strictly to the prescribed diet. But so far I'm right in line with Atkin's suggested 70% Fat, 30% Protien and 10% carbs. So I'm sure it's going well without checking my weight as often for the time being.
I've been more interested in my glucose level. Today I checked it with a meter this morning but forgot to do so in the evening. I ate, took a nap, woke up and ate a snack before I thought about it. So I guess I'll just miss that evening check and do it again in the morning. Oh well. My worst enemy is my own lack of organization in such matters.
For example, it was a real chore to make myself get back on here and finish my food intake entry for the day. Why? I dunno. But I talked myself into it so that's done. Then I decided that since I'm on a roll I'll make a journal entry.
So that was it.

Blood glucose at 155 this morning.
Cooking breakfast now. Four scrambled eggs and a half-cup of mushrooms. Will have the same for lunch. Maybe I'll have a mid-morning snack. Dunno.
The VA Clinic sent me boxes of meds yesterday. Looks like a 90 day supply of insulin and maybe a longer supply of glucose meter supplies. I now have a 4 month supply of insulin including what I already had on hand. I'm really gonna try to not need that. I'm also supposed to get Lipator by mail along with a "B" vitamin of some sort.
This is such a relief for me. I've been struggling to afford my meds for several years. Now, at a co-pay of $8 per med it'll be costing me about $88 per month instead of $200+. I'm relaxing in knowing how well it has all come together.
