I finished writing Sushi and Suspicions and turned it in! To celebrate, I ate my favorite peach jelly from Minamoto Kichoan ! I was a bit surprised to realize at the end of the book that there wasn’t as much romance as in some of my other books, maybe because there were a lot of characters in this book compared to other romantic suspense novels I’ve written. Sushi and Suspicions will be releasing in June in the multi-author box set Summer Suspicions . Even though it’s a box set, each Christian Romantic Suspense novel in it is a full book, so it’s a great deal! Preorder Summer Suspicions for only 99 cents!

Well, I’ve been monitoring how I’m feeling, and I’m tired. I think I need to eat more.
(Hooray!)
I’ve been feeling exhausted at night and first thing in the morning, although I’m feeling okay during the rest of the day. My body also feels the need to sleep more than usual, which is not a good sign for me. I usually listen to my body’s sleep needs as a good indicator of health.
I’m running a total of about 20 miles a week now, and the program mentions that if you’re “very active,” then you should increase your carb count. I wasn’t entirely positive what they consider “very active,” since I’m not a professional athlete or anything like that, but after dragging a little yesterday and this morning, I’m going to increase my carb count by a little bit, like maybe 5-10 grams per meal, and see how I feel.
This will probably help with my calorie count, too. So whether it’s my carbs or my calories, this increase in carb grams should help my flagging energy levels. Please pray I don’t go donkey wild and eat more carbs than I should!

Could you find a sports nutritionist? You have to be careful because you're training for a marathon.
My problem is that while I might be running, I still have the problem of my insulin resistance, and if I can't stabilize that, I'll keep eating carbs but my cells won't be absorbing the sugar. So I don't want to go too high in my carbs for at least another 2 weeks, to try to stabilize my insulin resistance.
