In yesterday's session with Paul, we decided that I should make some sticky notes and place them in various places, including my car, computer monitor, bathroom mirror & refrigerator. I went shopping immediately after our session, and I decided that the best way to make sure I put some sticky notes in my car immediately was to do it before I got home. So I bought some cute sticky notes--they are shaped like stars and are bright orange and yellow--and some colored Sharpies, and made up notes for my dashboard before I ever left Walmart's parking lot. Here's what they said: "The food I make at home tastes better than fast food." "360 by Thursday." "I choose to be healthy." "Green light." When I got home before I even put the groceries away, I made more notes for the kitchen along the same lines. I've also made notes for the bathroom, computer and near my bed.



Yesterday, I listened to the second part of Jimmy Moore's interview with Diane Kress. She said that if you go more than 5 hours without eating, your liver starts pumping out glucose. Therefore, she said, you should eat immediately before going to bed and within an hour of getting up in the morning. Also, if you are awake in the night, you should eat something then. For as long as I've been testing my blood sugars, my blood sugar has been higher in the morning before breakfast that before any other meal of the day. So last night I ate an ounce of walnuts before bed, and I put an ounce of filberts by my bed. I ate them about 3:00 this morning when I woke up. This morning my blood sugar is 12 points lower than it was yesterday morning. Cool. I've ordered her book. Got to run now. I've got to have breakfast before 9. 8-)
