March 13, 2007 — Just 4 Today

Just 4 Today logoJust 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice (once), test my blood sugar at least once after every meal (after breakfast – 118), drink 2 liters of water (about 1/3), walk 3 miles (with 3415 & an after-dinner walk I might reach 6 miles), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.

The Sugar Diet

I think I’ll call it the Blood Glucose Diet — taking 6-7 tests a day (1 or 2 or 3 after every meal) really seems to keep me on track. Because I hate seeing that meter jump over 150 (which isn’t really bad after a meal. But I know that if I eat right it’ll stay under 120.) Plus the whole Blood thing sort of makes eating unattractive, doesn’t it? (I’m kidding — you’re not going to see updates on the Blood Glucose Diet. But if you’ve got Diabetes, would taking extra readings help you stay focused?)

It doesn’t have to be food related: What are you going to do today?
