WHAT I AM EATING

Yesterday,  I ate  normal breakfast and lunch, as was tracking everything, and then found out at the last minute that we were going out to a pizza place after our sons college graduation.  I did not know ahead of time that this was happening, and it kind of threw me for a loop.  Even though I am off dairy for this three weeks, I went ahead and ate just the cheese, pepperoni and pizza sauce off of the pizza crust.  I did not eat the crust.

I had carefully planned this diet to take place when there were no family parties or holidays, but this took me by surprise, and if I had not eaten the cheese, I would have been sitting in the restaurant not eating while everyone else ate and my son would have been angry/hurt.

Anyway, I expected to gain weight, but I did not, and I am back on plan this morning.  I did notice that I have a stuffy nose this morning, worse than usual.  Is this a symptom that I have an intolerance to dairy?  I guess Ill find out soon when I do my actual test of dairy in a couple of weeks.

Also, my blood glucose this morning was a little higher than normal at 91.  I like it to be in the low to mid 80s.

I drank 72 oz. of water, but never within an hour before eating or an hour after eating, in order to not dilute my stomach acid.
