Pity party for one
I had my diabetes counseling appointment today, which went really well. Most of it is common sense, except that I have to cut down on fruit, which sucks because I love fruit. My sugars from my 2 hour test came back in the normal range so I officially don't have GD.
The hard part is being stuck in my house with nothing good to eat. I had a little meltdown because I was hungry and didn't know what to eat. We're a carb rich type of family! I finally settled on carrots and hummus, but that's not so exciting. We need to go grocery shopping asap!
*oh, and I think it's totally unfair that I don't have GD but I still have to do the stupid diet.

I'm so sorry Ali, but it's a good thing that you don't have GD and just think maybe you can find some some healty "sweets"
Planning and Married Bio
My Randomness Blog!!
Yes, it is!
Lots of veggies and meats/proteins. I can still have carbs, just not as much. So I have to do a food journal counting my carbs and tracking them. It's just an adjustment that I have to really think about what I'm eating.
The Sand in My Snow Boots
You may want to look into the daily plate on livestrong.com or sparkfit (actually, babyfit also).
I use both sites- livestrong for tracking (I've been tracking on the daily plate for over 5 years, including 75% of the pregnancy), baby fit for advice/articles.
I use the daily plate, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be gaining, losing or maintaining. I changed to maintain, which allows me like 1900 calories - I sure don't eat that in one day! Does babyfit take into account a pregnancy? Daily plate doesn't.

That does suck Ali. I had my 3 hour screening on Friday and the results should be in on Monday.
I'm a confessed carb addict myself, so this is going to be hard on me as well.
Hang in there....only 75-ish days to go.
