A good sign.
A colleague came over before the concert tonight and we went to our usual Mexican restaurant. So no shake for me tonight.
Taco salad, no beans, no sour cream (I don't like it anyway), so lettuce, tomato, ground beef, a bit of cheese, and salsa for dressing--I ate it all! NO chips, water to drink.
I hour later, blood glucose 118, just fine.

Checking blood sugars/ 9-27-11
This morning, my fasting blood sugar was 106. One hour after breakfast 116, a negligible rise, not surprising since my breakfast shake has only 8.5 grams of carbs. But it's a good sign.
Still feeling fine. A little tired today on the walk, but it's hard to separate from normal fluctuations. Could be that, or could be that I've now gotten rid of most of my stored carbohydrate (glycogen) in my liver and muscles and am forced to burn fat.
We'll see how it goes the rest of the week. A long day today, with a trip into Dallas this AM, rehearsals in the afternoon, and a concert tonight (followed tomorrow by an 8 AM meeting, full day of teaching, and trip to Dallas for rehearsal in the evening). Life is busy!
