Stress Fracture

Been a while since I consumed anything but the two cups of coffee and one whey protein shake pictured here, plus a few glasses of water that didn’t seem worth capturing in photos.  I’m thinking probably another of the whey protein drinks between now and bed, and then I’m done until tomorrow as long as I can sleep.  (A dicey matter the best of times, although perhaps a little detoxification might actually help. Whether it will help more than it annoys with a rumbly stomach, we’ll see.)

Tomorrow I will try to be up early enough to have a (very) low carb breakfast with some solid food to it, and perhaps go back to this until dinnertime.  Frankly, that might not be a bad daily plan in general; lunchtime is when I often eat the worst, spend ridiculous money doing so, and use up a bunch of time away from the office that could be spent in the gym and the coffee shop. (Yes, that costs money, too, but far less than lunch and they have free wifi while I drink my bottomless coffee.  Panera — I can’t eat their food, but I still like their establishment.)

Tomorrow, though, cautious, incremental changes.  My blood glucose level at this moment (I stopped writing this to check it) reads as a perfect — absolutely perfect — 83 mg/dL.  I’d like to see a lot more of that.

Oh, if you’re interested in what the Bernstein folks call the WOE (I always find that an unfortunate acronym, myself) — the Way of Eating (as opposed to dieting) — done dead right in photo diary form, do check out Sara’s blog for just that purpose.  She has the enthusiasm and discipline of the newly converted, to be sure, but hopefully she’ll stick with it and be an excellent model for diabetics and “prediabetics” (there’s really no difference, and Sara explains how that is) alike. I know I’ve been following it and asking myself why I got so far off track.


Good eating,
