Not sure how long I've been on this. I started at 192 on home scale and now am 188. Feel so much better when I cut carbs and keep track of blood sugar. climbing stairs is no longer scary hard. I think that high blood sugar makes my muscles weak. Perception of our own well being can be inaccurate and our attribution of causes can be goofy, but for now i will stick with that idea, no matter how erroneous. Losing weight and keeping my blood sugar down is just a good idea in general.
I apparently started this june 5. Without exercise, just cutting calories and keeping track of blood sugar, I lost four pounds in less than a month. I obviously need to exercise, however, so that has to change. Four pounds a month is plenty for weight loss and once I start walking and and exercising more I need to remember that muscle weighs more than fat.
Blood sugar this morning 130. I had a low blood sugar crises in the night and ate most of a pure protein bar. Very hungry this morning, as witness my eggs, sausage and hamburger breakfast, but I am hoping that eating veggies and boiled eggs for lunch, and chicken and veggies for supper will balance things out. Also eating earlier. No sense waiting for family who are night owls and not hungry until about 8:30.
