Goood morning FS!

It seems I overshot my goal. I've lost a lb yesterday and 2 today bringing me down to 111 lbs. Apparently yesterday's high calorie meals with lots of fat kicked my body into gear. i also had quite a few carbs. I ate my dinner very late because we were running around all afternoon so I didn't get dinner until about 8pm.

Also it seems that drinking decaf has seriously helped my blood sugar because I would've expected to be really high this morning but I was still within range at 114 (@8:30 am) which is actually fantastic when considering all the carbs I ate and that I took my reading rather late. If I'd tested before 7am I would've been closer to 105. Yup, I'm impressed!

Funny how some things affect us and not others. Point in fact, stress often raises blood sugar and yet there's no carbs in stress just the fight or flight hormones. And it's these same hormones that can trigger a problem in us when we consume certain food/beverages.
This is why one size doesn't fit all. We still have so much to learn about the human body.

As for my body, my blood sugar just don't respond well to too much caffeine so think I'll stick to my decaf (smiles)

Happy week everyone!
