Busy bee
Wow things have been busy around here lately. The girls are not walking but are so mobile and literally keep me on my toes. So obviously I went to Dr. McGinnis a few weeks ago…he prescribed metformin again (BLAH) and Byetta which is an injection that I give myself twice a day. He said that because of my insulin resistance, when I eat foods that are high on the glycemic index (starchy foods) they are twice as bad. So I am ‘trying’ to follow a low-glycemic diet (which is REALLY hard) and giving myself the shot while checking my blood sugar 4 times a day. While the shot isn’t too painful, it leaves horrid bruises and my belly is covered by purple dots. He says I could lose all the weight I have gained since the girls were born and then some by next year, which would be fantastic. I have done reasonably well so far though I sometimes feel as though I am starving because everything out there is starchy so sometimes I just have to eat.
On another note, we took the girls to Annapolis for the first time last week and it was so much fun. They were great and slept pretty well on the boat, and we look forward to some more trips in the future. Will post more later when I can hold my head up a bit easier. Thanks for reading!
