Good morning internet world!  Today I have a mixed bag of news.  First on the blood sugar scene my count today was 167.  Why did it go up over 20 points?  Two reasons I can think of number one being I ate some toast with jam on it late last night.  I finally justified it in my mind at 2am so I went and made some toast with Ezekiel bread.  The problem was that I used jam with sugar in it and regular peanut butter has some sugar as well.  Until now I didn't know how much of an impact even a little sugar can have.  The second reason is that on Tuesday night I had a few beers after a day of mowing/trimming yards.  I didn't have many but it probably did artificially lower my blood sugar.  Tonight I'll leave the damn toast alone and go to bed when I start yawning!  Based on my readings for this month so far I've been averaging between 150-170.  Once again I've basically cut it in half from mid April but that's not good enough.  One other item to note is the fact I didn't juice it yesterday which always seems to help.  Here's a good recipe for juicing by the way.

Ingredients:  

2 handfuls of spinach

1 stalk of celery

1 handful of parsley

3 carrots

1/2 green apple

Juice the carrots first then move onto the other ingredients.  Stir and drink!  It tastes good (at least to me) and it does lower sugars and give you lots of other good benefits.  Once again it can't hurt right?  Avoid bananas and grapes for the most part and do other fruits in moderation to keep sugars down and stop feeding the "leaky gut" fungus called candida.  Once again these are my results make sure and talk to your health care provider before starting or stopping any regimen.  There you go FDA there's your disclaimer.  

Ok guys and gals there's your update for today.  Oh wait I did forget my blood meter picture?  Nope I didn't forget but I had to let you read things before just giving you pics.  Oh and how did you like my belly pics from yesterday?  Not pretty huh?  Was I self promoting?  Probably.  Was it humiliating to take those?  Absolutely!  A guy (or gal for the matter) never wants to show the gut, butt or whatever you have that isn't attractive.  It's a catch 22 for sure.  Do I reveal to the world just how far downhill I slid or do I continue to lie to myself about how far I slid?  I decided to be honest with myself and others so I remain accountable.
