Gimme Some Sugar

I slept in until just after six this morning. When I opened my eyes and looked out the window, it was daylight, and I was disoriented.

Part of the preparation process for surgery is to avoid anything over 10 grams of sugar, making my jelly a non-starter. So I just tried the sugar free. It isn’t bad.

Once you’ve limited your sugar for a while, it isn’t that hard to do. It seems to get easier the longer you do it.

I haven’t overeaten at all since my last check-in. I know it’s only been a little over a week, but to me, that still feels significant. I haven’t night-snacked.

Right now, today, I’m struggling with not being able to drink anything because I just ate. I am really thirsty. But I have a timer set, so I don’t have to think about it as much.

My health risk assessment on Monday went not as badly as you might think. While it’s true I gained weight and some body fat, I also gained lean muscle, went down slightly in waist circumference, good cholesterol is up, and bad cholesterol down.

Now to get my weight down.
