Blood sugar update

A few weeks ago I had been having episodes of my blood sugar crashing and being pretty low a few times. I've learned it's all about the foods I was eating and also how I am putting them together. Since I really started to paying attention to what is on the plate and how it's put together, I have not felt that low blood sugar shaky feeling in weeks. Not only am I looking at how I put a meal together now, I am eating every few hours like my doctor told me to do. I don't skip meals anymore. I have even been taking my lunch/snack to work with me. I always have a little friend in my booth at work at the farmers market hanging out with me. I've been making her a little sandwich so I don't have to snack/eat alone. At work me and my little helper have a bite or two of a ham sandwich mid morning and a bit of coffee (she has kool aid in a coffee cup) and wait for customers and trying to stay warm. Sharing is nice cause I am eating a snack and not skipping it these days. So it was all about the foods I was eating or not eating. Skipping meals is not good for my body anymore. Food is fuel now and I had to learn that. I just have to pick foods that work for me and make me feel good. I do count my fruit now, because it's easy to over do fruit. You can sit there and eat a lot of fruit and not even realize how much sugar you just put into your body. I've cut back on breads again. Bread was finding it's way back into my diet now and again and I can only do so much bread or I do get shaky after sometime passes. I do have a OJ or chocolate iced protein drink for a snack now almost everyday. Drinking my protein drinks never bother me. If I'm going to be gone from the house and out and about I've even been carrying a small lunch box with ice in it with protein bars and cheese in it. I've been carrying the things that "work" for me along with me as you can't just pick up a healthy snack at 7 eleven or a gas station.

So no more low blood sugar episodes the past few weeks. Hitting the floor like I did a few weeks ago really sucked so I will listen to what my body is telling me.

Otherwise.... i want to shop! It's crazy... I love a good sale or going through thrift shops looking for something cool for cheap. I've gone wild! Well if I could go wild, I would.

No really, LIFE IS GOOD!
