Hello all!!!!

Well, I saw the dietician today...She was very nice..She feels like the blood sugar problems are because I am too restrictive in eating carbs..I had written down my last few days of intake and she said it was way too low...That if there are no carbs to burn, the body starts to predict starvation and knows the baby will need sugar soo there fore it pulls it from the liver and muscle stores making the sugar in the blood go way up...WOW...never knew all that...Soo, the only real change in diet is no milk or fruit in the AM and more carbos!!!!!I am gonna be healthier when this baby comes....

Well, gotta run cook some carbs!!!! ;)

Hello there!

Huh, have I got news! BUT first:

Liz, GOGOGO! Very good!

Jul, if you need a prod, just come over here, I’ll have you walking (mountains, shopping, museums, etc) so much that you wish you hadn’t said that!

Karen, it’s only a few weeks more of school, then you can focus on other things (peanut seems to be doing fine there, I guess). Don’t blame you, hate programming myself!

RR, she gave you very good advice, go for it!

I read this very inspiring website (it’s somewhere in the Other Dieters Section), about this guy who lost about 200 pounds (from 370 to 190) and became an absolute HUNK! Too bad he’s married and living in the States…But he gave me push so I feel better about myself.
Anyway, today I came to work happy as ever after a good night’s sleep, but it seems this is just NOT my season; the Cy I work for is not doing very well so I heard (secretly) that it might close down in the near future (2 months). AaaaaaaaaaaH! Good thing: have been sending out CV’s all day and have got an invitation to talk to a Headhunting Cy on Tuesday mo. So wish me luck (sigh).
This weekend I’m going to a wedding of a very nice couple: they have a weekend house somewhere (have to figure it out) and are giving a two-day party, yay! That should keep my mind off things. She is Greek-Canadian, into Art, landscape art and feng-shui and things, he’s a ship broker. They Must have all these great male friends for me to meet (???:?: ). Anyway, invitation said, bring your bathing suit, informal wear and evening wear, so maybe I got the wrong invitation to a miss-miss contest? In any case, I might meet some nice polite fish…

With fingers crossed, have a nice weekend all

Zorba strikes again
:devil:

Hi All,

TGIF!!! (I think?!)

GG- What do you do for a living? I ask because you said CV, not resume, so I'm wondering if you're in the medical field? Sounds like an interesting party.

RR- Have some mashies!! :D Why can't you have milk or fruit in the AM? Will it shoot up your levels to early? That's interesting.

Karen- No, get used to it, you will find a way to relate everything you so or do to the baby!! I did finally get a hold of Curves at like 4:30 yesterday. They are open 8:30-12:30 and 3-7:30. I'm supposed to start work at 8:30, even though I don't usually get there til 9:00, so I really can't do that. I could go at lunch, but I don't usually take a long lunch like that. I usually just eat at my desk, unless I have plans to eat out with someone. Guess I'll have to find another way to do it.

Have a great day all!

Hey Lizzzard, TGIF back!

I'm in IT (for how long?), but I have a degree in Art (Art history and Archaeology). Here in Yurrup we mostly say CV in stead of resume (at least in the Netherlands).

Zorba again, slightly less depressed

Lauren--GD people tend to be elevated after the morning meal soo that is why fruit/juice or milk is eliminated...My sugars are great today..maybe she was right about the carbs..We are just gonna monitor 4 times/daily and then move on if things are elevated and go to insulin..I am strictly following the diet to prevent all that..My fasting must be 60-90 and 2 hrs after meals 60-120..So far, only 2 out of range but good today after getting the diet low down...

Greek-Stay away from Zorba!!!Doesnt sound like a nice one!!

Karen-hope the queasiness is better today!!!

Have a great evening all!!!!
RR

Hi all, I've had a great evening and then some bad news. First off the great evening my DH and I had a real date. Dinner at the Japanese SteakHouse where they cook infront of you (we had a certificate from some friends from Christmas - about time we used it) and then another friend was in the play Agnes of God - played the psychologist. We enjoyed the play and then went over to their new loft apartment - just a 2 block walk down the street from all the theaters/galleries/eateries in Springfield on the historical street. Their new loft is so cool - I could live in something like that for maybe a week or two (much too small for me 995 sq. feet). It had a red cement floor in the great room then up a few steps and the bedroom/bath area was wood floor. The walls are all the old brick. We had a nice party there with the cast members/director/theater manager etc..

When we got home, the bad news hit. A dear friend who just finished cancer treatments (breast cancer) she is 34 has two children 5 and 2. She's been having horrible headaches for 7 weeks and they just told everyone that it is brain cancer -menanages or something like that (the web finger like things that carry the spinal fluid). Marilyn and Dean could use all the prayers and good wishes they can get right now.

- jul

Jul--I am really sorry for your friend and family...Unfortunately, I see it alot in my profession and everytime I have to stop and pray for the families. Hopefully it is caught early and they will do some aggressive things to help...Keep us posted...

Doing great on the diabetic diet..Still having problems with bedtime sugar and early morning one...Dont know what the deal is...It is not in the insulin range or anything, just higher than the MD wants it to be..The crazy thing is, if I was a normal diabetic, it would be great sugars!!!Hey..maybe I am just a "sweet" person!!!!:D :D :D

Take care all!!! ON a good note, we are probably having this baby the first week of Dec or the last week of Nov to prevent too much weight gain of the baby and prevent shoulder impingement from occuring if Ms Priss decided to gain in the last few weeks~!!!!
RR

hi! 4 pages this week - wow!

Had such a fun day yesterday - went shopping w/friends at the grand opening of a mall - packed, chaotic, fun! Then went out to dinner last night w/friends. I had a gift certificate I got last year for my birthday ($100) for dinner at this restaurant and I noticed yesterday that it expires next week! So we used that last night & all had a great time. Could not let that go to waste, so glad I pulled it out this week & checked the expiration!

Also got some great new clothes yesterday!

Karen - so cool to see you so excited about the little one!:cloud9: ~ I know I had a really tough time in school when I was pregnant. (I was 19 & a full-time college student. also single). The baby was all I could think about & my grades suffered that semester.

RR - interesting info from the dietician.

Greek - good luck with the headhunter! Also have fun at the wedding.

Jul - those Japanese places are alot of fun and always have great food. ~ that sounds like such a cool loft. ~ So sorry to hear about your friend. It is heartbreaking.
