Waking up refreshed and ready can change everything. Today was the complete opposite of yesterday—no fog, no regrets—just clarity and calm. I didn’t need an alarm, and I didn’t need extra willpower. I simply woke up ready.
It feels amazing to be back in my groove. Early rising. Clean eating. Sharp mind.
⚖️ Daily Progress:
Here’s how I’m doing today.

The experimenting phase is over. Now that I know what works—I’m locked in. Unless I plateau, no more breaks. And if I do need to adjust, it’ll be with nutrient-dense foods, not sugar.
Game on.
Blood Pressure (BP)
| Date | BP – Before Food (Best of 3) | BP – Before Food (Worst of 3) | Average |
| BP Goal | 120/80 | ||
| 12 Apr / 24 Apr 25 – Worst days | 134/86 | 161/88 | 147.5/87 |
| 10 May 25 – Day 1 | 151/86 | 168/88 | 159.5/87 |
| 16 May 25 – Wk 1 | 133/83 | 150/94 | 141.5/88.5 |
| 23 May 20 – Wk 2 | 125/86 | 134/88 | 129.5/87 |
| 24 May 25 – Day 15 | 130/81 | 145/101 | 137.5/91 |
| 25 May 25 – Day 16 | 146/83 | 156/95 | 151/89 |
| 26 May 25 – Day 17 | 134/87 | 145/101 | 138.5/94 |
| 27 May 25 – Day 18 | 135/98 | 156/100 | 145.5/99 |
💪 Today’s Systolic Change (1st number): +12.5
💪 Today’s Diastolic Change (2nd number): +5
Both numbers are still high today—above 140/90—so that’s a medication day for me. It’s a simple rule, and it works: when the numbers spike, I treat it seriously.
Blood Glucose
| Date | Blood Glucose – Before Food (mmol/L) |
| Blood Glucose Goal | 4.2 |
| 23 Apr 2025 – Worst day | 7.4 |
| 10 May 2025 – Day 1 | 6.4 |
| 17 May 2025 – Week 1 | 4.4 |
| 23 May 2025 – Week 2 | 5.3 |
| 24 May 2025 – Day 15 | 4.9 |

| 26 May 2025 – Day 17 | 5.6 |
| 27 May 2025 – Day 18 | 5.8 |
📊 Today’s Change: +0.2 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 8 out of 18
This reading is still just outside the normal range—but I expect it to drop back tomorrow. I’m sticking to the plan and watching what works. The medications will help too.
🔄 What Changed Everything? I Did.
Yesterday was a reset. Today is a relaunch.
This shift didn’t happen by accident. It came from facing the pain, tracking the numbers, and refusing to give up. I showed up. And this morning, my body rewarded me with peace, energy, and progress.
✅ Lock In What Works
When you find what works—lock it in. Stop experimenting. Stop drifting. If something lifts you up, clears your mind, and brings progress—make it your standard.
Momentum is the gift. Now I have to protect it.
See You Tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
