The Numbers First:

• Blood Glucose: 107 mg/dl  Sweet. 
• Weight:  189 lbs.
• Exercise:  45 minute ride on bike.  Nippy. 
• Mood:  7.00 Tax time approaches and I have dental appointment. 

The Menu:

• Breakfast:  Banana, Ruby Red grapefruit, Oatmeal with craisins.
• Lunch:  Red beans and rice.
• Dinner:  Leftovers again.  It's okay, I like leftovers and we have a fridge full of them. 
• Snacks:  These rice cake things with a bit of peanut butter.

How to Wreck Your Heart:  I was good at number 7.  Letting my pants out or just getting new ones was just easier.  I have to admit it is more fun to take them to the tailor to have them taken in or just get new ones in a smaller size. 

Why I try eat a grapefruit nearly everyday. The chemical that grapefruit it's sour taste can act like a diabetic drug by helping to control fat and glucose metabolism.  "Naringenin, an antioxidant derived from the sour flavor of grapefruits and other citrus fruits, may cause the liver to break down fat while increasing sensitivity to insulin – a process that naturally occurs during long periods of fasting."  To the body, it acts a lot like the Adkins Diet in one tasty fruit.  Good excuse to enjoy Texas's sweet and sour Ruby Red's, as if any excuse is actually needed beyond their delightful taste.
