It's Been a While

so i haven't posted anything for almost a week now... tomorrow will be exactly a week since my last post... don't worry... i haven't fallen off the wagon, but i did have a couple of near spills... first i'll post my numbers (with commentary as needed)...

Friday 6-12-09 BP 138/85 P 76 BGL 155

Saturday 6-13-09 BP 139/88 P 69 BGL 148

as you can see, my numbers were headed down in a nice and steady fashion... then saturday, i spent most of the day alone... and by the end of the day i think i was wanting some "comfort food" so around midnight (my timing needs to improve drastically) i decided to eat a pint of dary free gluten free coconut milk based "ice cream" with agave nectar as the sweetener... now i highly doubt that it was raw, but i had it in the freezer because i bought it on friday at the whole foods market... i love the stuff and it's supposed to be "healthy"... but choosing to eat the entire pint after midnight was not a good idea... the next morning my BGL showed it...

Sunday 6-14-09 BP 132/89 P 72 BGL 192

so then on top of that, i had dinner with a friend at the cheesecake factory... i chose to have the avocado egg rolls (definitely not a raw food) along with a seared tuna (raw) salmon salad with mixed greens... it was good, and i still maintained greater than my target of 80% raw food consumption for the week, but i think my body was still not happy with the choices i made... i had a headache that night and the next morning and my BGL was still up...

Monday 6-15-09 BP 136/91 P 76 BGL 189

it's important to note once again, that my measurements are taken in the morning just after i wake up... so my BGL does not run this high during the day... usually goes down to around 115, but i measure in the morning because i experience what's called the "dawn effect" with high BGL's in the morning and i can definitely corelate better health with times when my morning BGL's are in the normal range (below 120)... anyway, no more pints of ice cream at midnight... and the numbers are trending, once again, in the right direction...

Tuesday 6-16-09 BP 135/86 P 78 BGL 176

This morning 6-17-09 my BP was 139/83 with a P of 72 and BGL of 161... i'm still on track... green smoothie or equivalent for the morning fare... fresh fruits and nuts and berries and seeds for the midday snacks and meals... and usually a hefty vegetable meal or salad in the evening with some sort of raw dessert... last night i made a coconut vanilla milk shake... it was totally raw and totally yummy!!... i feel fabulous!!!
