Day 3 - I did my one meal of LC/HF - this time it was supper. 
This was a "crazy" day for me - super, duper busy and no time to really plan or prepare anything. So, I grabbed my handy processed carbs (Teddy grahams & 100-calorie packs)
Today's totals:
Calories: 1,360
Carbs: 144 grams (epic fail!)
Protein: 108
Fats: 64 grams
I am planning to do better tomorrow. Part of my struggle is handling dietary things whenever my life suddenly speeds up for reasons beyond my control. From reading all your posts I can see that the solution is to get some LC/HF snacks and foods HANDY so that they are just as convenient as the processed carbs.
I need to re-think and re-do my normal grocery store list.
I will say this: My BG's were 167 - 197 during the part of the day when I was eating the carbs and it went down to 110-130 when I ate the protein meal. To me that's PLENTY of reason to keep working towards my goal of going LC/HF. I know I'll get there and GREATLY appreciate all the support and encouragement.
I know that high blood sugars make the fats stay out in the blood stream which is why my lipid numbers were not very good on Oct 7th when my Ha1c measured 12.7.
The lipids were:
Triglycerides 355 (normal 0-149)
HDL 43 (normal >40)
LDL 113 (normal <130, BUT my Endo wants it <100)
Cholesterol 227 (normal <200)
*the "normal" numbers I got off of the lab report sheet.
Tomorrow is my 50th Birthday!!
My 22-year son is taking me out for steak! yummy...
