Stupid Sweet Potatos
I LOVE sweet potatoes. Baked. Fried. Mashed. I don't care how you cook them, I LOVE sweet potatoes. I was not happy the last time I had a sweet potato. My number was high after I ate but I didn't test before. Tonight, we bbq'd a tri tip and I heated up the other half of the baked sweet potato. I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on it too. Cauliflower joined the meal.

Guessing Games or Why is My Number So High??
We had the most delicious filet mignon steaks wrapped in bacon barbecued to perfection. My BF had a baked potato and I had a sweet potato. Half of a sweet potato. Worst case scenario 38 g of carbs. I didn't test before dinner so after I thought I would check. OOPS! 197 mg/dL. Man, it is at times like this that I wish I had remembered to test BEFORE I ate. Now I play the guessing game, was it high because I munched on Cheetos puffs? They only have 1 g of carbs each and I had 5. Seriously? Can you say, "Get on the Precor and walk that high number down - NOW!"? So I did. 30 minutes on the Precor, 2000 steps, heart rate up, not much sweat. New test - 120 mg/dL. Oh yeah. So when I eat the other half of that sweet potato, I'm testing first! Don't like the guessing game.

Chicken Cordon Bleu. Chicken breast pounded out thin. Slice of black forest ham. Slice of swiss cheese. Roll. Brush with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle with bread crumbs and garlic.
Yummy supper with cauliflower on the side. Low carb, about 15 g, too!
5:45 pm 96 mg/dL
6:29 pm 100 mg/dL
7:30 pm 104 mg/dL
So I ate a graham cracker with whipped cream and 4 blackberries
9:43 pm 104 mg/dL
I love this meal!!!
