My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

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.
