#ThriveInJuly week1 ☑️I finally weighed myself again after a long hiatus. Gained 5#. Oops. It must be those supposedly low carb tortillas. I don’t currently have a CGM. ☑️I don’t like to throw away food (and thus $) in my pantry just because I plan to not eat it. My husband might still eat it. I’ll throw it away if/when it goes bad. I did make a general plan of what to have this month, then went Costco shopping, and filled up a cleaned out fridg/freezer with the month’s meat and the week’s (or two) of low carb vegetables. ☑️The good and the bad? 😀I am good at sticking to low carb when I make my mind up to do it. 😢I am not good at eating dinner (meal#2) by a reasonable hour (before dark). I also have been experiencing inertia for the past 6 months. I had big plans Jan1, but really haven’t gotten much of anything accomplished. ☑️Plan to improve? Spend less time doing social media and NYTimes puzzles. Maybe I’ll get more of my meaningful plans done. Either skip dinner, or try to eat dinner before I take the dog out for a walk. ☑️Share CGM trendline I am not currently plugged in, but finally used the one I had to self-experiment with some foods I miss just to see what they do to my glucose levels (sourdough bread, cornbread, some grains, some beans, etc.). But first I established my average range was between 85 and 95 mg/dL. Most of my tests had a minimal effect (it would be interesting to see what the effects were on my ketone levels), but one day we went out for Pho, my levels skyrocketed to 170, and then a couple hours later crashed to 60. I won’t be doing that again. On a side note, perhaps the reason the sensors are only good for two weeks is because they seem to kind of “dissolve” in one’s body. The probe that came out was much thinner and rougher than what went in.
