EDIT: Brunch is served! 3 fried eggs, about 8 fried bacon strips, a small calabasas and 1/3 banana fried or was it sauteed? Banana eaten last so I won't get a big blood sugar spike.
Jumped on exercycle for 33 minutes, 5.5 miles and 228.5 calories burned.
Tested sugar after the bike and giving girlfriend a ride to the nail parlor and the reading was 122, about 1 1/4 hours after finishing the meal. Not bad.
-------------------------NEWS ALERT!!!------------------------------------
At long last, I have almost reached the goal. Problem is that I now have a new goal.
I would like to see the two left numbers on the scale read 17 the day of my lab visit which is 10/7 and for sure the day of 10/14 when I go back for the second "talk" about my pre diabetes.I will be happy if the scale reads 179.9, just start with
17!!!Yesterday I ended up skipping lunch and had a fish taco and a banana, still green enough that I had to rip it open. I have discovered in my reading that less ripened bananas do not spike blood sugar as bad as the real soft ripe ones. And that's what I strive to do, reduce the severity and length of time of those blood sugar spikes, in an effort to improve this insulin resistance state that my body is in.
One of the comments that I will respond to was about chocolate. Oh God, what longing is now upon me having written those words. A divine treat that I had forgone up until the recent trip to the stateline casinos where I had not 1, not 2 but 3 small bowls of that nonfat frozen chocolate and vanilla swirled yoghurt out of the machine there. You know the one. No not at the same visit!
I almost cried with the first taste of that very first bowl, it was so good.
Anyway the comment got me stirred up and having done a little research this morning I have found that dark chocolate helps increase your body's sensitivity to insulin. In moderate amounts, etc, details which I will nail down.
So chocolate is back on the table for me now!
Thanks for reading and good luck in reaching your goals!
