That is so wonderful to me it make this all worth it. Not only was I 96, but it was with a decreased basal rate. I was taking 8 am and 8 pm of lantus prior to going paleo, and now I am taking 6 am and 6 pm.
To me that is HUGE!
I stopped dairy only what- two days ago? I feel great, and don't miss it!
Breakfast yesterday was eggs and leftover salmon. Black coffee and splenda drops. I ate at around 10 - post workout. I wasn't hungry until dinner time.( I did hit the wasabi almonds however...) Dinner was rotisserie chicken with broccoli. SO good!
As for counting my fast -acting Humalog to cover my protein and carbs, well, that is still tricky. I tend to go up in blood sugars post workout, so I needed a unit to ver my 145 at 10, but should have also taken more to cover the eggs. I wound up 170 around 2. rest of the day was 143 and hovering for hours.
For some, that might seem high, but for me that is AWESOME!!!! I feel like I am not in a state of panic and desperation. I have felt that way for a long, long time.
I did my second workout of deadlifts today. I lifted 45 pounds for the bar plus 30 pounds - seems weak, but I have to start somewhere! 2 sets of 15 and a warmup set with the bar.
I like what the workouts are doing for me. I feel like I have used lots of muscles and not just burning out my legs doing cardio.
Today through the day I was around 150 again- never got down from the workout despite taking Humalog twice. BUT pre-prandial dinner was 136 so that was good!
Dinner tonight was more salmon with dill and a few brussels sprouts and red wine.
This has been a great time of year to change out my pantry- I bagged up two big bags of canned goods and crackers unopened, etc and gave it to an assisted care group.
Here's to good fasting numbers tomorrow! (fingers crossed)
