I started checking my blood sugars again yesterday. Of course, the first two days I start up again are the first days I've been off on my diet in a long while. I was busy doing a family closet purge Saturday and kept forgetting to eat and test. Today was church and that's always hard to get in the right foods at the right time. I was smart and brought along my morning snack, but completely forgot to pack myself a lunch so I could eat at the right time instead of just snacking like the rest of the fam and eating our big meal when we got home. I have to work on Sundays because we don't typically do three meals. Just breakfast and then a later lunch-supper kind of thing.
Anyhow, my numbers aren't great. My fasting for Saturday was my best so far, but still on edge at 93, depending on what numbers the docs like. (90 or 95) I'm still waiting to hear from the GD counselor and I think I'll be putting in a call to the OB office tomorrow to find out what is taking so long. I was encouraged by my good friend that has worked through GD for several pregnancies now to start testing again so I have data for them when they call. She's right. It makes sense. I guess I was just enjoying living with my head in the sand.
Side note, I had a piece of birthday cake tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. :) No guilt, just fun with the fam.
Good thing is, testing my blood throughout the day creates a huge amount of accountability and motivation for me. I should be seeing some better days ahead. :)
Another good thing is that I got a huge project done this weekend by cleaning out our family closet. A ton of stuff heading out the door to help me with my Mega-Purge challenge I've given myself. I also got the dresser and changing station set up. That means it's all ready to fill with baby's clothes and items. It's still really early by my habits, but I'm excited to do it! I guess knowing she's a girl has made me all the more eager. :)
Good idea on the testing, Tracy. I *still* test my numbers just to make sure they are okay. And, it also helps me to focus on my food and exercise choices. Even though I'm not diabetic any longer... it's still a good "tool". Are your numbers 1 or 2 hour post-prandial? They aren't that bad for a 1 hour post--- but if it's 2... Well, you know. LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job on the closet clean-out. That must feel SO good. We do our purge twice a year with the change-out of seasonal clothing... and I *LOVE* doing that. :) Looking forward to a great week with you! :)
Oh... an forgot... happy (belated) birthday to Benji!
ReplyDeleteYep, 2 hour tests. Stinks, huh? My numbers today have been much better, though. Except for fasting. *thumbs down*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes!
