Monday was another fairly low-energy day. Doc's appt. follow-up on the septum surgery at 11 and we went to a local Mexican restaurant afterwards.
No chips (good for me) and a taco salad (quite good). The only problem was they layered refried beans on the bottom and put the ground beef directly atop, so I couldn't avoid eating the beans. Very tasty, but more carbs than planned for! Post-prandial blood sugar at 122.
For "dinner" I had 2 oz. of cheese, tomatoes, guacamole (this is always "house-made" and the equivalent of 1/2 avocado). My sweetie also made some interesting baked cheese things (essentially cheese and spices) which are delicious, but will call for some restraint. She also made (the day before) some "crackers" out of some combination of almond flour, sunflower and I'm not sure what. Again, tasty, but even though they aren't made out of grains, still doesn't mean they're low carb (although much lower than most). Also had one of the no-sugar puddings (again, no sugar, but that doesn't mean no carb: around 14 grams). Blood sugar at 110.
Bigger challenges ahead as my schedule becomes busier (crazy at times, I should say), more temptation eating out, etc.
Finding something that's sustainable, checking blood sugar to see how different foods affect me will all be important.
