I ventured into OWL yesterday. Once again, poor timing sank my battleship. One son had my car, so I asked the other son to take me to Walmart at 2:30 pm to get a few things I needed for a new recipe I wanted to try...my modification of something I saw on Rachael Ray. (It's delicious, btw, just watch your portions. I call it Tuscan Meatloaf).
Well, we got there, and he decides he needs to get the oil changed in his car. By 4, I was ravenous. I'd eaten a really light lunch and now missed my afternoon snack. I found some of those 100 calorie almond packs...right at 3 net carbs a bag. So I sat in Subway & munched my 1 bag of almonds and drank iced tea until the kid's car was fixed. I was good.
Then, we got home, I got dinner started and we didn't eat until 7, 2 hours after my normal dinner time. I overate the meatloaf. My net carbs for the day...nearly 30. Way too much.
This morning, my stick is barely pink and my blood sugar is over 140, way too high for fasting. <<<sigh>>> I think I am one of those very carb sensitive ladies. I may leave the nuts in, but no more Tuscan meatloaf for me until I'm confident I can watch my portions. Either that, or I leave out the onions or cut the tomatoes.
One thing I did learn: ground flax seed adds only calories. The fiber in it is equal to the carbs, so you can add some healthy ground flax seed to foods without affecting your carbs for the day. It makes an excellent substitute for bread crumbs.
I'm increasing my insulin this morning. It's not a setback, right? It's a lesson.
