I got good news today and I could literally feel the stress leave my body so I tested and…
That’s 68G, 0.6K … I haven’t been under 70 is weeks… and never since I started eating protein over 1.5g/lbs lean mass. Feeling good about it…
It’s frustrating though… I get good results, I de-stress and my results get better. When I got bad results, I over stress and my results got worse.
The strange thing is that I am actually calm either way - I “feel” in control. But my blood sugar does whatever it wants to do…
I was listening to a lecture on this and the thesis was that the body is unwilling to relinquish control over those physiological variables that are critical to survival. So it pumps me full of glucose as if there was a real lion chasing me… and will not give my conscious mind the control to chill it out.
Maybe I need to trick it with artificial good news somehow… damn sympathetic nervous system doesn’t know when to shut up.
