My first day went well. I didn't snack at all. That is a hard one for me. I craved sweets but I didn't give in.

Tomorrow is an S day and I have to make some adjustments. I know that typical sweets raise my blood sugar into the danger zone, so I will have to do a modified version. I will have to use sugar free dessert options for my S days. If you think that will be easy, think again. I overeat artificially sweetened foods just like I do foods with real sugar. My brain doesn't know the difference. I will still measure my glucose levels just to make sure I don't eat more than my body can handle. I don't want to be a slave to artificial sweeteners either, so I still need moderation for this.

I had intended to do a little bit of exercising but that didn't happen.

Great job sticking to your three plates today. I hope tomorrow goes okay for you. My dh eats low carb protein bars for dessert. I hope you find something that works for you. Maybe a more savory treat would make more sense.

Congratulations on your first day!

My dh was prediabetic a number of years ago, and was able to turn it around with walking and watching carbs. Hang in there, you can do this!
