sorry its been awhile without a post. a little quick update. i "failed" my 3 hour glucose test. so now its "official" that i have gestational diabetes. so last night after my husband got home we went a did a huge healthy grocery shopping trip. you dont even know how many carbs and sugar you eat on a regular basis until you cant have them!! so far, even eating low carb foods my sugars have been very high. so another words i have been feeling still crappy and having lots of headaches. my dietician wanted to try just diet changes before putting me on insulin. well it looks like insulin shots will be right around the corner for me. :( i hate doing those shots but i rather feel better and have a healthier pregnancy. i think its been a little over a month that i have been dealing with all this junk. i barely go anywhere without my husband. i rarely even go to walmart!! that means no shopping, no hanging out with friends, no moms group and no church for over a month!! i cant wait to feel better and not have a headache!! i just want to feel better and be able to do what i want again! i miss church, i miss friends, i miss having freedom!
alrighty i am done venting. so this is what i have so far for the menu plan.
Monday: beef pot roast in slow cooker with carrots and potatoes
tuesday: vegetable beef roast
wednesday and thrusday: not sure yet...still looking through low carb cook books
Friday: we leave for the weekend to go to my mother in laws. so whatever she plans for the weekend.
hopefully my menu plan is better next week. i am hoping to find yummy recipes this week so i can start having a more interesting menu. so this weeks goal of mine is searching, researching and finding yummy low carb and low sugar recipes!! if you have any, i would love to hear them!! :)
