Yesterday

Well I certainly hate those numbers. I definitely slept through an alarm to pick her food up at +6, so it was down until +10.5, so some of it could be food influenced this morning. I also only left out her regular 3% this morning, and will be checking on her around +6. Tonight no one is home (the bf has been making sure has been regularly eating Sunday through last night), so I'll just have to play it by ear since I still have to come back in tonight. I want to try to limit the higher carb foods to try to start swinging her back to lower numbers (while still acknowledging that I can't monitor like I usually do until Thursday night/Friday morning).

I realized this morning that tech for our next show starts in a month, and we're so far behind on that, so this semester will just be rough in general. Oof.

Hi Alicia, you are doing the best you can with the constraints of your schedule.
Will she eat from an auto feeder overnight so you wouldn’t have to pick up the food at +10?
I hope you and Kit have a good day.

I bought one, I just haven't had the brain space to set it up. She's so picky about how she'll eat. Such a princess.

Try it when you are awake and can watch her. That’s what I did. I forced her to get used to it. Now when she hears it she jumps right up and goes to it.
(My biggest problem is if she’s in a different part of the house and doesn’t hear it open.)

Oof. That +6 sucks. I'm hoping I didn't screw up any progress we were making with the adjustments I had to make for this week.

I feel your pain, Alicia!
It's so frustrating when you are doing so much, trying so hard, and BANG! A slap on the face with high numbers!
She's very flat this cycle - could be a plateau flat high before the break?
Hand in there. Sending you

She will come down. You have to keep her safe. First and foremost. Try to remember that

The last week notwithstanding - should I be thinking of increase? We haven't hit pinks since June, and I do not like.

Today's food was all 3%.

Well that's a better number, still not amazing, but better than 300. A bit of a drop, but that is 4 hours in.

That’s more like it!
