Thanks m1whowaits... I know now I have to spend more time planning and balancing my foods. Last night after a very stressful day I tried rereading SBII, got overwhelmed and gave up for the night.

Also had my doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon just after having a heated political debate with DH. It wasn't pretty. By the time the nurse checked my blood pressure it was 144/100 -- also not pretty -- politics makes me crazy. Anyway missy doctor (she looks like she's twelve) didn't know anything about Schwarzbein but wanted to read about it so I gave her all the info. She's a Zone devotee.

Went out to dinner last night and had a glass of red wine (self medicating?) and feel better today.
