Blood Sugar Diary
Jul. 22nd, 2009 05:38 am2 hours after breakfast - 121
I had 2 breakfast burritos (sausage & egg) for 13g of protein. I added some shredded fiesta cheese for about 5 more grams of protein. I also had about 7 ounces of milke for an extra 7g of protein.
My Blood Sugar level is not quite as low as I'd like it to be, but is still within my safe limits. Doc says 2 hours after a meal I should keep it under 120-130. I've been consistently trying for under 120 and this is only the 2nd time I've been over that.
That said, about an hour and a half after eating, I felt very tired. I wonder if this has to do with my blood sugar or just simple work boredom. I've had work to do, but would SO much rather have slept! Of course, last night was my short sleep night, due to class... so that could be it, too.

I had the last leftover teryaki chicken and asparagus on the side. Then I had a glass of chocolate milk. So I'm VERY happy with my results! Now I just need to keep myself from getting all of my carbs from sweets. Considering I picked the M&Ms out of my trail mix today, I think I can manage that!

Got up at 3:00 (as opposed to 2:45 like I've been trying to do). I did the blood sugar thing, ate breakfast, and got ready for work. Worked 4-9:30 and came home for lunch. Did the blood sugar thing and ate. Got chicken out to thaw. Went back to work until 1:00. Came home, walked the 1-2 blocks to my motorcycle to drive it home and park it in my garage, now that I have one! The bike wouldn't start. Fuck. Cut fat off the chicken and marinade it.
Walk home, brush off the bike thing - don't let it upset me. I hang clothes that have been sitting in the laundry bag for a couple of days. Put several boxes into the closet that only need to be stored (photos, stationery, and my shoe shine kit). My mom shows up, so I put my clothes on and head to the Goodwill with her to look for maternity clothes. I tried on a TON of things. Left with 1 pair of maternity shorts, 1 dress, and 2 pairs of jammie pants. I do love jammie pants!
Came home, sorted dirty laundry and drove to Mom's to start a load of laundry and have a smoothie. Visited with Mom & Serena while Serena made smoothies (strawberries, bananas, and spinach with agave and OJ?) and while we drank them. They were the best batch yet! SOOO yummy!
Drove home and sat for close to an hour (did a little birth class homework with Elmo) before starting on dinner. I nearly fell asleep a few times. I also did some pelvic rocks (one of my Bradley Birth exercises) before getting up. Cooked butter & herb chicken and steamed corn for dinner. It was all delish! Sat for a little bit after dinner before I finally dragged myself off the floor to do the dishes (after emptying the dishwasher). Dishwasher is now loaded and the stove top is clean again. I'm already considering tomorrow's dinner dish. I may make BBQ chicken, we shall see.
All that... and 7 months pregnant. I am so fucking tired. Ugh. I still need to fetch my laundry before I go to bed. Sigh.
Tomorrow we see Dr. Fumia for the 4D U/S. I hope he sends pics home!
