33rd Day of 40 Day Fast

Every 6 months, I must have blood tests for my thyroid and diabetes. The ones that I just had, showed that my blood sugars are the lowest they've ever been since becoming diabetic after a serious car accident in 1995! The really amazing thing to me is that I no longer have to take my diabetic pill in order to get this result! This 80/10/10 diet is, apparently, very healthy for me. Now, I just have to decide if I will eat this way for the rest of my life. There are pitfalls: most of the time, I'm so busy that it is a very good way to live (I can drink my blender drink at stoplights). But, at times, it's hard (like today when I'm going to Oregon with my son to see my mother). She will not understand "raw, organic fruits" and I'm sure her facility won't have any available. I'm taking some food with me but will have to deal with her issues as I eat something other than what she is offering. Lord, help me to stay on the fast!
