So, the day is almost ending here....but my eating window ended at 9 PM. I would like to stop eating earlier but I never seem to be able to. I try to intermittent fast (usually don't eat my first meal of the day till noon or later).
Anyways....
I was back on low carb today, and didn't do too bad. My weight was up a little from yesterday, but I expected that. Water weight from the carbs.
Fasting blood sugar: 137. Up from the normal numbers I was having, but not awful after a day of carbs.
Meal 1:
Teriyaki flavored slim jim (love the new flavor, same macros as original flavor)
& a mozzarella cheese stick
(Blood sugar after: 120)
Meal 2:
Can of tuna with mayo & no sugar added ketchup (1 carb)
1 slice of cheese
(Blood sugar after: 111)
Meal 3 & Dessert:
1 taco with a low carb tortilla
3.5 ounces of ground beef
1 serving of shredded cheese
Dessert ~ same old peanut butter & butter mixture (might sound odd, but it is delicious).
Blood sugar stayed exactly the same since the last meal.
~ Macros~
Calories: 1,586
Protein: 76
Fat: 131
Net Carbs: 19
My macros were pretty spot on, just the fat was a little more than what my daily macro goals are. But I hit the other two macros exactly.
My sugar didn't get under 100, but it still was not extremely high...I know sometimes it can take a day or two to come down and I did have a lot of dessert yesterday.
How do you think I did getting back on track? Also, how did you do with food today? Eat anything delicious? Healthy? On plan?

Doing good! Can you notice a difference in how you feel from a "cheat" day to a "good" day?

@MommyOfEli2013 Oh that's cool about energy. The thirsty thing makes sense. I've heard of that with diabetes....

@FayeHazel I still can feel tired of course on low carb days, but is completely different than tired on a day when my blood sugar is high! Yes....the excessive thirst is a symptom of diabetes.

Thank you :) And yes...I can definitely feel/notice a difference. On a cheat day I feel exhausted and thirsty....and I have more energy (usually) when it's a good day
