Blood sugar sure is a mystery. It can be trial and error. The times I've had a sink, it was always such a surprise.
I don't do low-carb eating because HRH can't do it - it would be devastating because of the gout, and in fact dr has warned him. And I figure the high-protein that would give him pain is like a harbinger for all of us, because we all have or will have arthritis to some extent. Gout is just the arthritis that is most sensitive to change in diet. That being said, Lady Maverick and her dh have had great success with low carb. And if it takes the weight off, it is offering a health benefit.
Today I was so sweaty (and this is a good thing). I did an entire workout DVD: 45 minutes, the full workout without instruction. I drank a pint of water during exercise and needed another pint after, so, another good thing.
Guess my workout inspired me, because my eating today has been super. It's like Harmony says, you figure you don't want to eat things that will negate your work. And it's been low on the calorie range, so tomorrow I'll make sure to bring it back up.
I may take my own "alternating" advice some. Since I heard from Smile Lee that she is finding M, W, F exercise fits in well within her weekly plan, I've been thinking of alternating exercise days with off days again like I did while I was being so consistent. I won't be able to match her rigorous schedule, because she is doing both standing and floor work on her exercise days. But about 45 minutes 3 times a week is 2-and-a-quarter hours per week, and I know from experience I do well at that level. I'll have to be flexible - if a day needs to be moved over, not a problem.
