Dietician would definitely not approve

My diet from Friday until Tuesday was definitely NOT something to be followed. Too many carbs, etc.

Now I need to get back to it and get myself back under control.

Lessons Learned

Don't delay meals and don't overeat. Last night I went out for an adventure before eating. And when I did eat I opted for an oversize burger at Carl's Jr. Very poor choice. This morning my fasting blood sugar was at its highest reading, 107!!!

Breakfast: Fiber One with Honey Yogurt and mixed berries√
Lunch: Chicken Breast in Top Ramen with Green Beans√
Dinner: Open faced Albacore on Rye Toast with Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage√

Naughty, Naughty Day of Eating

I ignored the first tenet of my Nutrition Plan and doubled the portion of Broiled Cheddar on Rye√ for breakfast. As a result my tummy doth protest too much. I will make note of that and start paying much closer attention to the rules.

No plans yet for the day. After my shower I will make a decision on how to spend a leisurely day with the dogs doing something for all of us.

Lunch was Linguini Carbonara.√ Barely within the standards for the Diabetic Diet yet if felt and tasted good as my main carb meal.

Late afternoon Mustard Dog√ at Ace Hardware McKinleyville.

I should have settled for a Protein bar instead of the Carl's Guacamole Bacon Burger√ I ate for dinner.
