Loving The Twists & Turns

Well today is new and the health club is not in sight as hubby has an appointment in Seattle and my son has no school. I had bought a walking DVD and will do a walk with it and the housework today is constant and will provide a lot of movement:)
Yesterday, I did a day of green smoothies and actually I did enjoy it. That was after I got over the horrid look of the drinks and the texture. I been spending time trying different seasonings since I usually use mostly veggies and once a day I add an apple. I also do add enough Metamucil for fiber intake, which is orange flavored.
I had been slack on testing blood sugars and finally got some more strips last week and was surprised to see my blood sugars were slightly elevated in the mornings since I was doing low carb.
I carefully monitored my levels yesterday while doing mostly green and my blood sugar was much lower this morning, which left me to wonder if what I had been eating was higher in carbs than what I thought. :o  So, what I learned is to READ THE LABELS more carefully.
This morning, I had a 3 egg omelet with a bit of provolone cheese on it.  It is not the best cheese for omelets, so next time, I will just have my salsa on eggs. I want to make sure something substantial is in my stomach especially mornings when i take my insulin. Perhaps today, I will search for a good low carb breakfast smoothie recipe.
Another thing I noticed since I did the detox is that my left hand does not tremble like it was.  I read some articles about healing diseases through going green, etc., such as no refined foods, no white flour, sugar, processed foods and am getting more convinced it is the way to go.
I am also cutting down on some of the supplements I am taking. Sometimes you can take too many and get toxic. I do my thyroid, B12, multi vitamin, fish oil, flax-seed oil, Vit. C and maybe a couple of others. Man..I hate gagging down so many pills..
So today for the rest of this day is green smoothies. I sometimes add baby carrots in it, but no more than 3 of them. I will also buy some mints and other herbs for flavor.
Have a great day now and visit me soon...
