Morning Check In: fun-wise and exercise-wise yesterday was a win! Lots of walking and a 3 hour bike ride. It was followed, however, by dinner at a restaurant, and my primitive brain did the ordering, justifying my choices by telling me in a very convincing way that this meal was “special” because it was at a “fancy” restaurant and we do that rarely, maybe once a year. Starches, a cocktail, and even dessert, dang it! I’m not sure how to feel. On the one hand, it was all incredibly delicious food made by a stellar chef. On the other hand, my poor little mitochondrias are now having to deal with all that extra glucose. I guess my overall thought is that it’s what I do MOST of the time that matters the most. I do want to occasionally have a meal like that. What I struggle with is how to feel good about it! It happens infrequently, so since I practice it rarely, I don’t really get good at feeling good about it. Something to ponder, I guess! Today we head back home and have guests over for dinner. I’m making enchiladas which have some starch in them (corn tortillas) but are otherwise metabolically healthy. No glucose readings to post since my monitor ran out and I forgot to bring a new one on this camping trip! Not wearing one probably influenced my food choices yesterday….
