out of gas

Going from Portland to Boston, we drove down the coast.

And just stopped wherever we saw fit!

It was such a healing trip!

I came home to resume my duties as a Home Health Nurse

And a patient is sitting there, eating ice cream!

In the middle of my Diabetic Teaching!

I just realized "That Was Enough."

Went to fix the lawn mower. 

Three guys said it wouldn't start.

Guess What?

No Gas. 

How could 3 so-called experts miss this?

Enough enough enough !

So I changed. Right then and there.

Life is never easy.

But simple? Maybe it could be more simple.

My Blood Glucose numbers were still high 

Even after having a Zero Carb meal.

Must be the protein. 

And cortisol from caffeine . 

Whilst fasting my numbers are much better - with no spike.

Bound to be much better for my h A1C.

Think about this.

If you eat 3 meals a day, and your BG rises for 2 hours PP,

You might be spending any where from 6 to 9 hours a day (or more)

With a high BG reading. 

Even though you are strict LC.

Good sleep is so important. 

I bought a new mattress... 

I was liking sleeping on Memory Foam.

So I went back to that.

So think about the money and time I save by fasting.

Shopping for food, prepping food, cooking food,

Eating food, cleaning up after meals,

One meal a day skipped would save like 2 hours -

And the money! 

Although I am not fasting to save money or time.

I am doing to reset something in my body 

That needs a break for heavy food.

So far, so good!

I find fasting to be very compatible with my needs for now.
