Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
I know I have been MIA a few days. It's been a busy weekend, plus I caught whatever bug Eli brought home, just a cold I believe.
I don't remember what I last shared about that had to do with my health journey. But I have been carnivore except for on Saturday. The fish truck came to town, so after shopping with my mom we got lunch from there. I also had a donut and a coffee -- but that is all I had. Then, I went on a 20 hour fast.
What I did notice was the donut and coffee took my sugar over 300! Yikes. I took a correction dose of insulin which brought it down to normal. But I know I shouldn't do cheat days -- doesn't mean I never will though, just maybe cut it back...
This time, my weight has thankfully gone down. Think the fast helped, and not eating a bunch yesterday. Just not as hungry when I am sick.
I am a bit under my lowest weight that I had reached so far on this journey, so glad to be starting to lose weight again.
Hopefully I will be back to sharing normally again, we'll see how I feel later.
What do you all think of everything?

@Ineeddentures Why not? Is she allergic to nuts or she just doesn't like fruit?

Sorry to hear you've been sick. Nice that you're losing again. Hopefully that continues.

@MommyOfEli2013 .........I can certainly understand that. I guess you'll see about the weight loss.

@celticeagle I did go up today because I had more calories yesterday than the day before. Once I am over being sick I should get into working out

Thanks, I just couldn't focus on being here when it was at its worse. Today I have felt a bit better minus a constant cough.
Losing again is great, just hope it is not because I have been eating less while being sick...

Well I would only want to allow a cheat "treat" on a day that I was doing a cheat day...since it probably will be messing me up anyway. I don't want to bring the high blood sugar I know I will have to a day when I am trying to do good. I know eventually I shouldn't even have a cheat since I know what it does to me...but I want to enjoy those things every once in a while.

@MommyOfEli2013 Just trying to help, Courtney. Obviously, you’ve got this completely under control.

@AmbiePam I know, I just probably will do it as I did Saturday, but take more insulin before the "treat" next time. I took it before the meal, but should have also before the dessert since it was a couple hours later. So that was really my bad.

Thanks, I hope I will.
Yes it shot up to that after carbs. I didn't even over do it that day like that one big cheat day. I did fast 20 hours after that meal. Hey I am down to a new low even.

Thanks, feeling better today minus the cough I have had all day.
Yes, that was a really high one, but it came down fast and has been back to my "normal".
Glad to see the scale going down again, for sure.
Oh I won't....was going to think about adding exercise in now that I got my baseline from the doctor,
but will wait till I am fully over being sick.

Donuts are full of sugar and flour. So avoid those even on a cheat day. At least until you get more weight off.

When I have a cheat day, I eat what I want...I know they are bad and I shouldn't.
But it is one little joy in life....
Seems the insulin and fasting after has helped
