So Far, So Good... part 1

I know it's been only one day, but I have lived strictly by the rules today, and my blood glucose levels have been right on target. I feel good, so I want to share what I've done, in case you want to try it, too:

6:45 a.m. -- Fasting blood glucose of 97 (80 to 95 is normal, so just a tick or two too high); had big glass of water
7:10 a.m. -- Walked 1.5 miles in 25 minutes – not fast, considering I'm waddling right now at 7 months pregnant, but it's not too slow to be ineffective, either.
8:15 a.m -- Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 1 piece cheese and 1 piece whole wheat toast
Tea (no sugar) in car on way to work; finished at desk
10:30 a.m. -- 2-hour post-breakfast glucose level of 116 (should be less than 120, so off to a good start)
12:30 p.m. -- Lunch: leftover chicken breast, brown rice and peas from last night's dinner; 4 ounces unsweetened applesauce and a 4-ounce yogurt; more tea (unsweetened green with chamomile)
2:20 p.m. -- Walked 6 city blocks in 20 minutes (again, not high intensity, but not strolling either)
2:40 p.m. -- 2-hour post-lunch glucose level of 96 (well under 120!)
3:15 p.m. -- enjoying my apple and peanut butter along with water while I'm working.

Doing well! More later...
