and the cheat goes on Part 2

So.

It's been the obligatory 2+ hours since my last meal ended. Thus, I have checked my sugar levels.

Frankly, I haven't felt all that hot since I ingested the forbidden half a milkshake. Nothing monumental. No vomiting, shaking, comas or 911 calls. Just a little head-achey and some general malaise.

Sugar levels?

Not since my first week of diagnosis have I seen such a high number.

Let's just say, lesson learned. I guess I still have to test certain foods to see if they truly are completely out of my league. I'm assuming this half a milkshake was far worse than my earlier cheat (a month and half ago) of a banana tempura ice cream concoction, only cuz it was liquid-y, so perhaps more quickly/easily dispersed throughout my body?

209.

Yup, 209.

It's a big goddamned number, and I'm none to happy about it.

Momma said there'd be days like this...there'd be days like this, my momma said.

And the GREAT SWEET CUT-OUT OF 2011 continues (for real this time). Ahem.

and the cheat goes on...

You'll recall that my last big (as in SUPER BIG) cheat was a banana-tempura ice cream desert @ our favorite sushi place...about a month 1/2 ago. Well, the other half and I went to Johnny Rocket's for some grub this evening. So on top of some onion rings, fries and a chicken club sandwich (on rye--so there was that conservative aspect), we split a vanilla shake. Nothing monumental, but in the scheme of things that have been regularly avoided over the past many months, that was no small cheat.

I'm waiting until 8pm to test my sugars, and see what it really, truly did to my body.

I will say this...in the words of Ned Flanders, it was "scrum-diddly-umptious." Was that deliciousness worth a trip to the ER? Probably not, but so far, I'm feelin' just fine.

I doubt it'll reach such levels. The banana desert thing barely registered.

So, with guilt levels marked @ around 6-7 (highest being 10) I think I'm gonna be okay.

You may carry on w/ your regularly scheduled activities.

For now, the GREAT SWEET CUT-OUT OF 2011 continues (well, sorta)...
