My husband and I have been seeing a nutritionist for 3 months. Today we had our 3-month scan. I have had a very stressful few months at work and have sat for about 10 hours a day. I was happy to maintain. I did lose a couple pounds but I had gained a couple pounds of muscle and lost a few pounds of fat so what looked like no progress on the scale was some. I was happy to see this and it makes me want to build more muscle. Protein and lifting are key. I am going to do another scan in 6 weeks. I may have a new interest. On the blood sugar front, I had an interesting find. Last week I had 3 chicken strips from Popeye's and this had very little effect on my blood sugar. Yesterday I had 3 chicken strips from Wendy's and my sugar shot up. I have to say that as I was eating the Wendy's ones I noticed that they almost disintegrated in your mouth. Further to my thought on the more processed the more effect even if the macros are close to the same.
Monday night's sleep was beautiful. Deep and uninterrupted. No blood sugar dips. I have not had a glass of wine for 5 days and I do know this proves a point I don't want to know. I was up early and went to lift with Dee. It was a great start to the day and felt good to have it done early. After our workout, I had a premier protein shake and it had no effect on my blood sugar. For lunch, I had one of Amy's burritos and it had little effect with all the beans and I added an ounce of Monterey Jack. I sat for too many hours yesterday at work. I worked until 6:30pm so 10 hours sitting. I had 2 glasses of white wine last night and 8 shitty cheap fried in the worst oil chips and guess what? Yup blood sugar and sleep were both impacted. Now one may think that's it no more junk or wine but that is not the mission I am on. I am on a mission of finding my body's tolerance in this experiment. White wine and I have never been friends it is more likely to give me a headache. Don&
