What a Difference a Day Makes...sort of

First, my numbers for today and yesterday:
  • Blood Glucose:  Today, 132 mg/dl.  Yesterday: 111 mg/dl
  • Weight:  Today, 187 lbs.  Yesterday, 187 lbs.
  • Exercise:  45 minutes riding my bike, both days. 
  • Mood:  7.0 both days. 
Menu for today:
  • Breakfast:  An orange and oatmeal with craisins. Time to go shopping for some fruits and veggies 
  • Lunch:  Left over pinto beans and cornbread and an apple. 
  • Dinner:  Taco salads.  See need to get some fruits and veggies above.
  • Snacks:  Pretzels, just not as many as yesterday.
I think the difference is the pita chips, hummus and pretzels I had waiting  for dinner, which was some killer pinto beans and rice the Charming Mrs. SWMBO cooked.

Question.  Is it better to be fit or slender?  Apparently, slender wins.  Fit and slender is best, but if you are just thin, it probably is better than fat and fit.  People who are don't exercise and are slender seem to have lower blood pressure, and thus stronger hearts and less heart disease,  than those who exercise and are overweight.  If you are fat couch potato, nice knowing you.

Anybody remember Jim Fixx?  Scary stuff.
