Blood Sugar test day 2 where I'm comparing change in blood sugar from 1 Smore's Questbar vs. Oreo Questbar. From previous tests I notice surprisingly that the Oreo raised my blood sugar much higher than the Smores.
Weight was up yesterday by 2.27 lbs. It seems like I eat one "bad" food and my weight goes up a lot. According to my Walk Logger app I walked 8,591 steps or 3.8 miles.
And the results of this one test. Smore's bar is better than Oreo bar. I compared two different Questbars and tested my blood sugar in around 30 minute intervals. The adjust difference is adjusting the Smore scores up 5 points and the difference is calculated. So the Oreo increased my blood sugar 10 points after 1/2 hour, 27 points after 1 hour, 10 points after 1.5 hours and the same at 2 hours. So my conclusion is to eat the Smore's over the Oreo bars. Some future tests will be to use 2 bars for comparison.
| Oreo | Smore | Adjusted difference | |
| start | 100 | 95 | 0 |
| T+30 mins | 120 | 105 | 10 |
| T+60 mins | 127 | 95 | 27 |
| T+90 mins | 112 | 97 | 10 |
| t+120 mins | 98 | 93 | 0 |
Trip to New York City
Yesterday I went into New York City with family. We had Linner (Lunch and Dinner) at Foley's on 33rd between Fifth and Sixth Ave. It's also the Irish American Hall of Fame. My son heard about the place from reading Zach Hample's blog. He is the guy who is famous for catching over 8000 balls at baseball games.We were there at around 3 PM and the restaurant was empty, but it has great baseball paraphernalia, including hundreds of signed baseballs, cards, bobble heads and chairs.
Afterwards, we walked down to Madison Square Park and got a shake at +SHAKE SHACK. There is an express line if you're not getting burgers.
We then proceeded to Strand Books where they have used and new books. I picked up 5 books for a cost of $19.05.
I have a policy that for each book that I buy I must get rid of two books. This is difficult for me but something I must do if I want to declutter my life.
Feng Shui is a way to place things in your house. I relate it to the way I feel when I walk down certain streets of Manhattan. Sometimes I feel good when there are lots of trees and pretty sights and other times I feel a negative energy to to dirt, ugly buildings and lack of trees. I'll probably never read this one but the concept seems interesting.
The Power of Now is a book that I'm interested in after reading +Sam Harris Waking Up, and is related to Buddhism and self-transcendence.
The Intelligent Investor is a classic investing book that I probably already have. I liked analyzing the stock market in the past and for $1.00 how could I not buy this.
Visual Design for the Modern Web is a book that is old but I could use help with my websites from a design point of view. I've wanted to have a better website, but that's a small piece of the puzzle in trying to make money from one of my ideas.
Concise Guide to Writing is because I'm trying to write and need help.
