| So I think I have discovered why I am overweight and the thing is I have been telling overweight mom she is gonna do the same thing to herself....haha. I don't eat enough. I have been track my food and not once have I hit 2,000 calories and I am suppose to be getting 2500 being pregnant. Now these are on days that I record my food. On days where I binge, I don't record it so that is like 5000 calories or something. My body says OH MY GOSH CALORIES, I am hanging on to these cuz she doesn't give me enough. It is 7:00 and I still haven't even consumed 1,000 calories, that is insane. I haven't been hungry either...well except right before lunch I was STARVING but I knew I didn't eat enough for breakfast (only 1 waffle, that's it).
Okay so tomorrow is my 3 hour GD test. I am not looking forward to 4 needles, but I will be okay. Hopefully I will get someone who KNOWS what they are doing unlike the last girl. It seriously hurt for HOURS after she did it. It didn't bruise though. She said my blood wasn't flowing fast enough so she was like pushing the needle around and stuff....it was horrible. Anyways, I hope I get someone good and not another idiot. And I don't think I will have to have as much blood taken each time. At the 1 hour test they also do a CBC so they take a few viles. That helps my brain at least. I need to make sure to take some actual food with me so I can get my blood sugar semi-normal before driving off.

| So I have my GD test next week. I am a bit scared. Not that I will have GD because quiet honestly I think I will have it, BUT that I will have to take that dumb 3 hour test. I HATE needles and getting poked 5 times in one week (1 time for the 1 hour and 4 times for the 3 hour) just doesn't seem like fun. Although I might get to put the 3 hour test off since I have my 1 hour on Tuesday and if the lab is slow that is Thursday before they get my results and then I leave for Texas on Saturday! Today I started charting all my food again so that I can bring something to the nutritionist when I have to go to show her what I normally eat. I have not gotten CLOSE to what I am suppose to eat today. I am like 1,000 calories behind. Whoops. I didn't snack enough. On the GD diet (at least last time I was on it) you get 45g of carbs for each meal and 30g for each snack (3 of each a day). I did the whole 45 with each meal but so much didn't do that with my snacks. I am hungry now though so I am gonna go see what I can manage to scrounge up. I need some good for you low carb snacks, I just love carbs and that is about all I eat - bagels, fruit, pasta, bread, etc. Seriously this is about all eat with the occasional protein and veggie thrown in.
Anyways, even though I do think I have GD, I do think it will be easily controlled. I HOPE she prescribes me a monitor just because I want one and then insurance will pay for it. But then I do think I will be able to control it easily with diet and exercise. Today I did my strength training, stretching, and 15 minutes of cardio. That is good for me. Last week I did my cardio on the day I went to the dr and my BP was lower than what I normally have so I think that might be the key to controlling my BP.
My mom went to the dr for her diabetes last week. Her dr told ME (yes me and I wasn't even there) to loose weight now (he didn't know I was pregnant, but you know what he was saying) and to start exercising. Why does my family have to have everything wrong with them? I want SOME good genes to pass on to my children. At least we don't have Lynch's....that is a wonderful thing to not pass on!
Okay, I am gonna go look for something to eat. Have a wonderful day.

| In response to overweight mom's last comment, I don't plan on depriving any of my cravings...please I am not that kind of person...haha. I just want to be a bit more healthy. My blood pressure is up, I had GD last time I was pregnant and pretty sure gonna have this time, and I know one thing that helps both these things - exercise. I was doing it for awhile while pregnant and my BP went down, now that I stopped...it is back up. So I started doing my 15 minutes on the elliptical everyday and now joined the site babyfit.com that gives me strength training exercises to do 3 days a week. I also want to slow down on the sugar as I am scared of GD. Although since I started thinking about being healthy again I think I have only ate carbs, but mostly good ones so that is good. And on the GD diet you eat more carbs than any normal person should, I think! Anyways, I am off to elliptical since I didn't get up early to do that and my strength training and off to shower and then work on my garage. Have a great day everyone!

| So I haven't updated in like, 5 months! haha. A little less than that. For those of you that do still subscribe to me (I am not sure if there is any!) and you don't know, I am almost 23 weeks pregnant (tomorrow!) and actually I think doing pretty well. I have yet to gain any weight. I lost about 7 in the first trimester and I think last time was I there was up 6, so total loss is -1 so far. I go to the dr next week and I expect a serious gain, but I am okay with that. All of my books suggest I gain 15lbs. My dr was fine with my last pregnancy and me only gaining 10lbs so there ya have it. I guess my body just decides it has a metabolism when it is pregnant, now I just need to keep the momentum!
So after reading a bit on fairymama's site I decided that I need to keep my journal up and going. After all pregnancy isn't a time to get lazy, no matter how much we want it. I have actually been doing decent. The first trimester my entire caloric intake was from skittles and starburts so my second trimester I was determined to eat more no matter what it took. I bought white bread (oh no!), ramen noodles (can we say "a little salt") and other unhealthy things BUT I was getting more than 1,000 calories a day and I thought that was a plus. Now I am feeling pretty good, only a few things icking me out and I would love to start eating good again. I am not eating near as much as I think this baby has already pushed my stomach to the size of a quarter so built in portion control...hehe. I have really let myself get sugar side tracked and have been eating more and more sugar everyday which is not a good thing. My mom was just diagnosed with diabetes and she already has high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. She is normal weight! She has struggled with her weight but I would say she NEVER got above 180 and lets just say I am WAY above 180! And most of the time she has been what I consider normal (maybe not society). She hasn't always got there in the best fashion (does anyone know the sur-gel diet?) but she stays there with relatively little problems. Anyways, I just know I need to get my body in gear or suffer the consequences. So I am gonna try, that is for sure.
Anyways, so I am here again....hope you are all still here too!
