Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I hope well.
I am finally starting to see the numbers drop (not on the scale, but my blood sugars).
Weigh in - lost 0.4
Blood sugars -
Fasting - 88
Meal 1 - 98
Snack -103
Meal 2 - 104
So my numbers stayed pretty good most of the day. Okay, guess you could say they were good all day.
What did I eat?
Meal 1 - 1.5 servings deli chicken and a cheese stick
Snack - Keto protein bar (chocolate mousse pie flavor)
Meal 2 - 2 hamburger patties, slice of cheese, mayo, sugar free ketchup
7 tater tots - yes I counted them.
Macros for the day -
Calories - 1,163
Protein -82
Fat -76
Total carbs - 28
Net carbs - 20
Another pretty high protein day. It helped that I had 2 hamburger patties. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow.
What do you think of the day? Will the scale finally move? Hopefully I will work out, but we'll see...

You did well. You should start to see action on the scale.

@just4him Well it is still about what it was the first of January. But I know this Monday I was higher than the beginning of January.

Thank you, I was struggling the first few weeks of January when this is what I was expecting.
Who knew I just needed insulin

@DianneN It's only one shot a day, and doesn't hurt. Now I just need to work on the weight loss.

I suppose so lol. My sugar usually spikes after so I haven't wanted to get started.

@LindaOHio 65 is actually low.... but my machine might have been wrong. Today it said 53, but I did not feel low. Checked with a finger prick, was 105

That's what I was hoping for the last few weeks when I started.
That is what I am used to happening when I go low carb.
I even had some bread today and my sugar only went up to 96

Good for you that you are really trying so hard, Courtney. I know when I started this weight loss journey I was so determined, and it often seemed that scale just wouldn't move for days and days. I learned a lot of patience, it's not easy. Hang in there.
