I'm sorry.
I've been the busiest mommy in town. The baby's been sick. I've been sick. Right now, I'm working on the sugar thing. I've been losing weight again and I don't know quite that I've been doing anything. Mostly, I've started to religiously monitor my sugars again. I feel like if I've got to face the glucometer, then I have to face my food and if I've got to face my food, then, I manage my sugars appropriately. It's hard to monitor how much food I need with the changing nursing needs of the baby, but the glucometer makes more manageable. I used to just do fasting, but I'm also monitoring them once in a while after meals and at night before bed, so I know how fast my metabolism is burning things at night. As a result, I'm doing a lot better than I had been. The only thing I'm hitting now is that I'm so tired I can barely see straight and I'm so horny, I'm hardly for human consumption. The baby's going through the separation anxiety thang and that makes bedtimes brutal for all concerned. Last night involved an hour of screaming and Mike and I taking turns going in every few minutes and finally sweet silence. So where am I? I'm here. I've been sick and tending a sick baby. I am also tending my disease for a change. It feels good. |
