Hot Mess Minimalist

I knew I hadn't blogged in a while, but I didn't realize it had been this long. I've got to hop on the Wii later today. Last Wednesday I went for my blood glucose test. They called me to let me know I have to go through the big test, because my level was elevated. I'm feeling pretty crumby about this, but I guess that it's just an indication that even skinnies need to make changes to their lifestyle. I'm going to make it a goal not to be a couch potato. To be honest, I was pretty devastated to hear that my level was elevated. I don't exactly eat an unhealthy diet as you can tell by my logs, and I blame myself for having a crappy level. It terrifies me that the little snacks that I have and my putting off exercise have kicked me in the butt (though I understand that it's different than type 2 diabetes, and I haven't gotten the complete test yet, it still bugs me.) Plus there was the fact that when the nurse called I was watching Biggest Loser, and I h...

Wednesday- 165.6 lbs Biscut Beef Jerky Bagel and Cream Cheese Dr. Pepper hard candy trio bar Grapefruit with sugar Sandwich from Wendys- 470 cal Frosty- 310 cal Mini sandwich- 350 cal Woah that was a lot of Calories in my dinner.

I took a week off from writing the blog, as my computer is failing, and my husband had the week for spring break. I took my weight this morning... and I don't feel so much like a skinny couch potato. 167.6lbs Yikes. I was getting kind use to my body image, but man. I'm not so sure if I'm going to stay out of the 170 range. No wonder I'm so much more tired than I'm use to. So I'm going to blow up the yoga ball, and maybe do some walking today, or maybe a little yard work. I've been thinking though that my project priority needs to go to doing my taxes, but you gotta eat... and I should get it written down. Peanut butter and banana- 150 cal Fig Newton- 200 cal 1 cup pineapple 2 cups bean and kale soup Small handful dark chocolate pommegranet candy Cheddar cheese Tomato Bagel V8 2 hard candies Red Lobster Shrimp meal with Fries and Garden Salad- 1000 cal 2 tums Tuesday 166.2 lbs This is the first time my weight has gone down even a little since being pregnant B...

Cookie and Granola with Soy Milk Chick-fila Sandwitch, Cherry Coke, 2 Cookies Handful of green peas Yogurt 2 Shorbread Cookies Trio bar a bit of mango tomato and cheese Another Cookie Beef Jerky Grilled Cheese Cauliflower Soup (Yay Jacob!) I had another doctor's appointment today. Completely great bill of health. Nugget wouldn't sit still to have his heart beat on the dopplar, and the nurse eventually gave up after trying with him wiggling around (and that was before any caffeine today.) Took two tums in the evening as I'm feeling over stuffed. I'm so glad that I had a friend's blog to read in addition to all the online resources to know the unexpected side effects of pregnancy (including strange stomach activities, like food not having space to go, and coming to my throat when I lay down, easily fixed with pillows eating small meals and eating early.) Next visit I get my Rh shot, and the blood glucose test. So it said come back in 3-4 weeks, and the doctor sa...

So yesterday Jacob made cookies, and in addition to that I've been eating a lot of jelly beans, so I need to pick up on this again, rather than just trying to remember what I've been eating. Weight: almost 162 lbs (eep! I think/hope this is just indigestion) Pizza slice (leftovers) 3 Cookies 2 tomatoes Another 2 cookie Granola and soy milk Grapefruit Cookie and Pasta with tomato, garlic and Parmesan Sushi (california roll) Cranberry juice
