Well, it could be worse!! Being told by the doctor to be sure I either eat 3 candy bars or 6 slices of bread every day for 3 days was kind of a shocker...but I could get used to this! :) I surprised the boys with their favorite, chocolate frosted glazed Krispy Kreme donuts, for breakfast...and got some of the pumpkin spiced donuts for Greg and me...yummy!! I had forgotten how yummy donuts are! We get donuts each week for volunteering at church, but Greg and I split ours so each of the boys (and Greg) can have a half...I have managed to be good...until now! :) I also decided that if I had to eat candy bars, instead of eating the boys' left over Halloween candy, I would actually get the ones that I love but have long ago left - Heath and Take 5! Can't wait til my 2nd installment of carbs today! :) I am a little afraid about how many pounds I will actually gain this weekend...but if it will get us a healthy baby...so be it! I do remember though why I started cutting back on carbs to start with...boy is there a crash!! We don't have a strict diet to speak of in this house, but Greg and I long ago adopted a more protein based diet with carbs as a distant 2nd. Even the Ezekiel bread we eat has a low glycemic index, hence the need for donuts! :) I am beginning to think I may actually have g.d. b/c although the carbs are wonderful going in...about 30 minutes after I have them I feel like I am ready to hibernate! Last night I even nodded off - could have something to do with a long busy week, but it was almost like I was powerless to fight the sleep off...and when I did go to bed, it was the most tossing/waking/restless sleep I have had in a very long time. I really have no idea how much of this has to do with the carbs, but let me just say although I am enjoying the delicious break, I am looking forward to going back to my normal way of eating!
It is a brisk Saturday today and although it looks drab, there doesn't seem to be any rain in the forecast, so Greg and the boys are working on creating a leaf pile to obliterate later on this afternoon! I'll try to post pictures when I can!!
Make it a great weekend!!
