I had a terrible fall off the wagon today but somehow seemed to have got away with it - had a "pulled pork" wrap for lunch,followed by - wait for it - a piece of Rocky Road cake. I didn't eat the wrap, just the pork inside, but it was ridiculously sweet, goodness knows how much sugar must have been in it. And as for the cake ....
But I was really lucky. 4.5 before lunch, 5.5 @ 1.5 hours and 5.8 @ two hours (and 5.7 @ three hours and five hours - note the obsessive guilt ridden checking!). No idea how that happened. And yet when I ate some rye bread, numbers up in the eights for hours and hours (at least four hours). And I can't eat lentils either. Or cous cous. My theory (because I've had a couple of similar sets of numbers before) is that with a biiiig sugar input (like a slice of chocolate cake with marshmallows and biscuits and covered in melted chocolate) my pancreas jumps into action and "does the business". But with the slow release low GI carbs, it doesn't realize it's supposed to be doing something and so the numbers creep up and stay there.
Does make it harder to be good sometimes. But I've still got weight to lose, so I shall be determined not to fall off the wagon too often!
