Seminar in Frozen Yogurt Bolusing

20 calorie lunch?

Sure, send them over for lunch! 20 calories per person should suffice.

No school. Some kids over for afternoon. Lunch = lavash pizza, reduced-juice juice pouches, berries, cucumbers.

Before eat Bigfoot warn newcomers: This pizza is kind of flimsy. Worried boys not eat pizza substitute but hoover up two cookie-cooling racks lavash pizza approximately five minutes.

20 minutes after lunch, Bigfoot working. Small voice Um, Mrs. Bigfoot, I think…I think I might still be hungry.

BIGFOOT: You just had lunch, honey. I’m not offering a snack now. I am working. There are still some cucumbers and berries. Have those!

STARVING CHILD: Okay, thank you. (NOMNOMNOM Starving Child eats.)

Ten minutes later…

JACK: Mom, is there anything we could have for a snack?

BFOOT: You just had lunch. I’m working. I am not at your service! I have to concentrate! Have the rest of the cucumbers! (Gestures toward cucumber plate, which is bare.)  Oh.

Just some yogurt with seasonal toppings: free range peeps, hot liquid nutella, etc.

Just some yogurt with fresh, seasonal toppings: heritage breed peeps, mini-eggs from Araucana hens (blue), hot liquid Nutella, etc.

Dawn on Bigfoot not give children enough food. So low carb everyone hungry, no energy play—only enough energy for hover around Bigfoot/whimper. This excuse for how come Bigfoot volunteer take chatty, hungry troop Froyo World Frozen Yogurt Lounge. Also Bigfoot have gift card.

Without the privacy dots they look just like One Direction.

Not sweat. Always swag 100g for machine-extruded icy desserts w. candy toppings.

CGM just after trash empty cup:

Hey, it's Wendy's lucky number---surely a harbinger of swagcess!

Hey, it’s Wendy’s lucky number—surely a harbinger of swagcess!

CGM 20 minutes later:

Double monkey schlongs.

Double monkey schlongs. They still offend me, but I guess it’s to be expected after eating a bowl of Peeps.

Soon after, no monkeys/no arrows at all:

Why no arrows when martini glass is fully operational?

No arrows. What’s that supposed to mean?

And then # went down, never having popped much above 200, everything resolved no problem. Bravo. Well played.

THE END.

But then! Pre-dinner:

THREE HOURS after the eating of the Froyo, a 2nd hump! This is what happens when parents don’t know how to combo bolus for crazy snacks.

After spike/correction, see almost perfect bell curve, as if for reminder not everyone able achieve A+.

Ahhh. 7PM and the Froyo Drama comes to a close.

7PM and the Froyo Drama comes to a close.

LESSON: figure out some kind of combo/ ++temp basal strategy for future insane-jumbo dessert. Could notice/learn this sans CGM but much easier w. CGM spell whole story out. Thank you, CGM. Bigfoot learn.

Two Not Medical Advice: Dessert First + Miracle (Maybe)Cheese

The miracle cheese:

Merry english muffin season.

New favored breakfast = english muffin (no panic–it whole wheat; wait, what? Still carbs?) + butter + honey (!) + obligatory milky black tea/stevia. This schoolday breakfast = superspike. So big spike, maybe make bad impression school nurse.

Data sample:

7AM 85, english muffin combo. 10:30AM 275.

7:30AM 90, english muffin combo. 10:30AM 231.

etc. every school day forever.

Today some science. Bigfoot ask Bubs eat cheese slice after english muffin combo. One slice provolone cheese. Result:

Just add cheese.

7AM 79, english muffin combo. 10:30AM 81. School nurse BG email take Bigfoot fucking breath away.

This not medical advice. Maybe always add cheese? Unless high cholesterol problem. Bigfoot, Bigfoot mother, sister, grandmother, both sons, all high HDL cholesterol. Maybe = natural cheese protection?

One other english muffin news. Grocery store notice “Light” whole wheat Thomas’s english muffin. Higher carb (26g CHO) than plain whole wheat Thomas’s english muffin (23g CHO)! This paradigm “Light” give Bigfoot gross Calorie King feeling, pleated pants, leather belt ostentatious mark for old waist size, waggle finger, “Carbs matter, but calories are king!”

Dessert, then homework, then play, then dinner, then NO dessert, then reading, then bed.

The dessert thing:

Realize/forget this over and over and over, but perhaps suckiest workaday part this adventure = high BG bedtime. Because high BG = correct, stay awake, see if lower, if not lower, correct, stay awake…etc.  forever til magical hour 4:30AM.

So. If *certain* dessert going to happen, and in correct phase of realize/forget cycle, Bigfoot try make happen before dinner. Because even if belly full broccoli/tempeh/quinoa/chia/kale, sure able cram in dessert. So. Once dessert foregone conclusion, might as well eat dessert ASAP, give ample time work out kinks before mommy zombify.
