Day 15I knew my sugar was still going to be high this morning. It was 311, a 90-ish point drop from yesterday, but I still feel like doo doo. Breakfast was leftover Hot Dog roll ups, and then Jared and I went fishing. It was so hot, sun blazing. I caught three, lost one on the bank, caught a big ass turtle. But dinner was delish. I ate mine with a little creamy sriracha sauce. I made sure that I checked the carbs. I didn't eat lunch, just snacked on some pork skins and cream cheese. Jared said he can feel the difference on my body, but I don't see or feel anything. I still haven't stepped on the scale, I know I have a ton of sodium from the pork skins and the Diet Sodas. Day 16Have y'all ever loved someone SO much, that seeing them takes your breath, you get butterflies, you get excited when you hear them pull up in the driveway, and your only goal is to love them the best you can, and be the absolute best that you can be for them? Well I have that. But you know what? Sometimes you want to square up. The year and 10 months Jared and I have shared a bed, I have have like 18 nights of good sleep. He snores. When he rests his arms, his hands are in my hair, and sleeping, I think it's mice. He moves his fingers right before he goes to sleep and in the middle of the night, he digs his fingers into my skin. I sleep a good two hours a night. So when I wake up this morning, I am 9/10 pissy. I know I have to go to work all day. I check my sugar, it's 330. I get even more pissy because it's still not dropping. BUT! I will have health insurance soon, so I can get the primary care I need. AND!!! I would rather sleep next to Jared and get 2 hours of sleep, than 23 hours without him. I ate sausage links for breakfast, and lunch was turkey and cheese on the leftover zero carb tortillas. My snack today was cashews and a spicy Slim Jim. For dinner, y'all just have to read the blog. Spicy Creamy Shrimp + Broccoli Slaw. I would eat this every day if I could. Day 17So I remembered to take a shot before bed. I ate like I was supposed to yesterday, and the blood sugar was 308. **shrugs** I had good food today. Breakfast was three eggs with shredded mozzarella, and turkey bacon. Lunch was those bomb ass leftovers from yesterday. I didn't love the broccoli slaw, but I have thought of ways to jazz it up for next time. Snack was this Quest cookie and I had a Slim Jim earlier. The cookie was okay. I would just rather do without sweet snacks that are made with sugar substitutes. They're all kind of cardboard tasting. Dinner was supposed to be eggs, cheese, and ham, but while I was waiting for Jared's food to be done, I remembered there was a Blue Moon. I couldn't see it from the yard, so I ended up driving around way too long trying to see it head on. Oh I could see it through the trees (hundreds of thousands) but I knew there would be ONE place where I could see it. The good news is, I did get to see it. And it was majestic. But did I get ONE decent picture? Negative. Dinner ended up being leftover fish, with cheese on top. I alternated between sriracha mayo and parmesan garlic sauces for dipping. Day 18I am getting really tired of not eating bread and chocolate and seeing the numbers stay the same. Sugar was 309. I did remember my insulin before bed. Scrambled ham, eggs, and cheese for breakfast. For lunch I just took a piece of cheese and melted it on a piece of turkey and had leftover pork skins and cream cheese. Dinner was a repeat scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese, and I had a tiny bit of crab leftover from earlier this week, and I just heated it up and added cheese. I legit want to eat a foot long sandwich with ham, cheese, mayo, and pickles. Like, a while loaf of French bread. Trying to stay alive sucks. Day 19Sugar was 3...0...6. I hate everything. Breakfast was sausage links, and lunch/dinner were hot dog roll ups. Even uglier than the last batch. I used to make these with low carb tortillas and they were larger, but the zero carb are a lot shorter, and the little wiener pokes out of both ends, but I think it tastes better this way. I swear I did not intend to make that sound as nasty as it did. **tee hee** I made Jared and The Child pork chops w/ potato salad. It was a hell of an evening with a wildfire nearby (not close enough to worry but I did anyway), and Jared hit and killed a deer. He's okay, his truck eventually will be. Took a shot, went to bed. Day 20I didn't even check my blood sugar this morning. I got up, washed my face, applied deodorant, face cream, got dressed, got to work, ate breakfast, and then hit the road. I didn't have anything for lunch, so when the second driver and I stopped for break I got a burger. It had a spinach wrap in place of a bun so I went with that. It's okay they forgot, it's a busy Labor Day weekend. I take the burger apart, and on the top bun was all of the cheese, and the bottom had all of the mustard and mayo. It's not above me to lick it all off in public, but I just kind of picked off the bread around the cheese, and tried to salvage the condiments. When I got home I ate what was left of the chive and onion cream cheese and these Parmesan whisps. Now let me tell you about dinner. I made chicken legs in the air fryer, seasoned them with Magic seasoning, a little Slap Ya Mama, garlic and onion powder, and on the other side of the chicken, blackened seasoning. I cooked them for 35 min at 400, then took them out, gave them a coating of garlic parmesan sauce, and them baked them for 30 more minutes. I made Jared and The Child wild rice for a side, and I made Ugly Keto Broccoli Casserole for me. 10/10. Will make again. Day 21Not to leave a blog post on a negative vibe, but I am not feeling it today. I didn't eat anything today that I shouldn't, but I moved to the couch around 3am, Jared was snoring and I couldn't sleep. I woke up exhausted, cramping, headache, and I didn't check my sugar or even eat. Around noon I ate a couple of pieces of leftover chicken legs, and I saved one bite of the broccoli casserole. Jared made dinner for me. Canned chicken, a little bit of canned fire roasted tomatoes, a lot of seasonings, and several cheeses. It was delish. Now I do forget to take a shot sometimes. No I haven't received the paperwork for my health insurance to start going to the doctor. Yes I have messed up a few times buy not thinking to read labels. I am getting aggravated. It's too hot to get out and walk. The humidity is as high as the temperatures and it's difficult to breathe. My sugar hasn't been below 270-ish. Not too sure what else to do at the moment. Eating healthy was my (last, lol) option to get this under control. I am not going to stop. I will continue this way of eating. I just hate it right now.
