Here goes nothing. Lets do this!
Woke up to a fasting glucose of 137 which has been the typical norm for the past few months. Curious to see how that will go down as the month progresses.
I haven’t gone grocery shopping yet so pickings were slim for breakfast. I ended up with coffee w/ Splenda and fat free half and half, 2 over easy eggs and a whole wheat english muffin with Ghee. I’d never heard of Ghee before I made a recipe a few weeks back. When I googled it, it seems to have a ton of health benefits such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, promotes flexibility and lowers cholesterol to name a few. That’s good enough in my book to start using it!
Lunch was also slim pickings so I just ended up making tuna salad which was the bagged (not sure that’s the right word but it wasn’t in a can) tuna ranch flavored and mixed that with a little bit of avocado oil mayo on top of whole grain bread and a slice of Swiss cheese and a tomato. Cheese is one of my big vices…I can’t be perfect right out of the gate.
I did manage to menu plan this afternoon and hit the grocery store. I ended up eating grapes as a snack and made the following dinner which got rave reviews from the whole family. Yes!!!
