Day 1, Week 1 cont.

Well, I'm still tired, but then I always am at this time of night.  I had a snacky kind of lunch of cheese, pistachios, cashews and gluten free crackers...the good kind of gluten free, no corn starch, potato starch or tapioca starch to replace the wheat.  They were a good flavor too.  I'll post tomorrow what brand they are.  Blood sugar after this was 129.  Dinner was chinese made by my step-dad.  He tried some gluten free soy sauce.  It was good, but different.  I think it will take a few tries to feel like it tastes right.  It was made with beef, broccoli, bean sprouts, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and green onions over brown rice.  Lots of vegie goodness in there.  Blood sugar level after this meal was 134.  I'm feeling hungry now though.  I'll probably have a snack of cheese and crackers followed by a Weight Watchers fudge bar.  On a normal day I would probably have more to eat throughout but today was busy.  I'm still feeling tired and sluggish, but I can feel a change starting in my body.  Of course, maybe it's all in my head, but I just feel better.  That's the best way I can describe it.  It could be psychological, but whatever it is I'll take it.  I have survived my 1st day being wheat free and it really wasn't that bad.  I still had plenty of food choices and never really felt deprived.  I had to look at some nutrition labels as I shopped, but it's not something I have never done before.  5-10 extra minutes at the grocery store seems worth it.  Day 1 down, many more to come...
