By following this low carb diet, I have dropped my blood sugar by nearly half. It's running below 150. Admittedly, that's higher than healthy (I'd like to be below 100), but that will come. Unfortunately, until my body adapts, I feel pretty crappy. Tired and restless and generally unwell. That will pass. And hey, I'm losing weight, too. The more weight I lose, the better my life will be.
Otherwise, my report is not outstanding. I've kept up with the housework and chores and continued to search for a new job. The writing has suffered from neglect. Can't seem to get my brain wrapped about words right now.
I've continued to declutter. That is working out surprisingly well. I have bunches of stuff -- clothes, electronics, movies, CDs, etc. -- that I haven't used in 10 years. Too long to hold on. My garage sale/thrift store grows larger each day.
The diet is going well. I've cheated a little, but so little that I'm surprised. I didn't know I had the discipline in me. I get the snack urge a lot, but I'm not really hungry, I've learned. I'm an emotional eater. (I miss sugar, bread, pasta ... sigh ...)
Anyway, that's my report for last week. Better news this week I hope.

Super CONGRATS on the blood sugar! That's AWESOME!!
Thanks, Tammy!
Dropping the blood sugar by half is amazing! Losing weight is a great side benefit. Hang in there on the diet. I wish I could offer advice, but low carb diets are not my friend. I will echo what someone on FB said; get your hands on a copy of South Beach Diet. They have good recipes.
