When the Moon Hits Your Eye Like a Keto Pizza Pie … That’s a Delicious!

Weight: 192.4

Total loss for the week: 4.8 pounds

Morning blood sugar: 5.5

Well, it’s the end of the first week. I still get an evening snack of strawberries and whipped cream, but at the moment I’m too full from the homemade pizza we had for supper tonight. That pizza crust recipe is one I’ve been wanting to try for weeks now, and tonight Bruce and I wanted to celebrate making it through the first week with one of our favorite foods.

And, let’s recap that week a little bit. So the insulin I’m on is a long-lasting 24-hour one. A week ago tonight I took thirty units before going to bed. Last night I took eleven. Other than that one low reading I had on Friday, I’m still in target 100 percent of the time, with my average level over the last twenty-four hours currently at 5.8. A week ago my blood sugar level was averaging around 15 or 16.

Today I got up, washed dishes, and made breakfast. It was an amazing mushroom and cheddar omelet for me, and a ham and swiss omelet for Bruce. This afternoon I pulled out my Kitchen Aid mixer to mix up the pizza crust dough, and, of course, made the pizza. Right now, I’m tired, but I’m not feeling that overwhelming exhaustion that I was feeling a few days ago. Oh, and I did some exercise! What? Me? Really? I was actually thinking of a friend of mine who lives in England. She uses a Fitbit, and does what she has termed “bouncing”. I expect it’s kind of jumping and moving in place, but still getting the heartrate up. So, while on a Zoom call this afternoon, I got up every once in a while and moved around, and purposefully made an effort to keep it going. At the moment, my Apple watch says that my exercise ring is at sixty-seven percent. Considering that most days that number sits at zero, I’d say that’s not too bad. And, I’m hoping to close all three rings today. My stand and move rings are already really close, so this is something to work on before going to bed.

That’s all I really have for today, but I’m just so thrilled with the numbers. I know it won’t always be like this, but if I can at least keep the blood sugars looking good, I think the rest will happen too. So, let’s see what happens in week two!
