MY FOOD

I did not track my food yesterday because the kids were here all day and it's just too hard to eat what I should when they are here.  I ate the way I should except for eating some extra sunflower seeds (a few ounces?) and 8 net carbs worth of 85% dark chocolate.  This is why it is important for me to track - when I don't, I overeat.

MY BLOOD GLUCOSE

I did not check my blood glucose last night after eating the chocolate, but I wish I had, because this morning, my blood glucose is 88, which is higher than normal.  I will be checking it all day today.

MY SLEEP

Yesterday, I went to bed at 10:15 pm, read until 10:30 pm and fell asleep pretty easily.  I woke up twice during the night and had trouble falling back to sleep, possibly due to the caffeine in the chocolate.  I woke up without an alarm at 7:30 am.
