A Little Stress Will Do Ya- Yeah, do ya in. . .

So I had a strange day.  Actually it's been a strange week.  I won't go into all the details, but suffice it to say, yesterday was a little harder than most days.  Unfortunately, I learned, stress messes with your blood sugar levels.  I was pretty erratic yesterday, and I don't like that. When sugar levels are out of whack, so is your mood.  It's a little like watching the pendulum on a wall clock.  Thankfully, not every day is like yesterday.  Anyway- here is the meal log. :)

I started out great with my Attain shake.
Lunch was a turkey and cheese sandwich with a glass of almond milk

Dinner was a burrito, made at home. Just refried beans, a little meat and cheese and some taco sauce and sour cream.  Now the tortilla was larger than I normally use and beans, while full of protein, can add carbs.  So this may have been the reason for my elevated levels, but I really only had one.  This is what I had, and I had water, not milk or anything else.  So when my number came in at 136, I was a little shocked.  Stress is probably very much to blame.

The biggest problem is that I was hungry, and needed to take my vitamins.  I can't take those on an empty stomach.  So I opted for 1/2 banana and peanut butter.  Banana was a dangerous choice, because it is a very sweet fruit, but it was easy, and like I said, I was hungry.  I was only at 87 when I woke up this morning, so I guess it was okay.  :)
