Have just gone back strictly to counting calories instead of my one meal a day. I wasn't doing too well with my blood sugar and got hungry before it was time to eat again. Didn't sleep well either. So, this is working for me. I am losing slowly but am losing. I have around 15# to go to get to my goal.
Today's menu:
B - Protein shake in coffee
L - Homemade crab rangoons
Stir fried cabbage with brown rice
Yogurt
D - will be 1/2 cup cottage cheese with 6 saltines
1/2 cup applesauce
Since I have started watching my cholesterol as well as my blood sugar, seems like I am limited as far as eating many things. I am trying to keep my grams of cholesterol under 200. I know I can do this, but I have always kept my blood sugar down eating quite a bit of meat. Now with this other problem, I am having to really watch that, too. :( I don't take meds for either one of these problems and don't want to start if I can help it.
I guess I am just determined and stubborn enough to want to get this controlled on my own.
Today's number is chol. 135, so I have made it today.
Today's menu:
Stir fry - shrimp, cabbage, onions, seasonings, with 1 T olive oil
2 T Parmesan cheese
5 black olives
Shiitaki noodles
Applesauce & SF jello
30 min. of exercise
