right now, i have vacuumed, mopped, dusted, cleaned the kitchen (especially the stove, LOL), cleaned the downstairs bathroom and gosh, had no laundry to do! i will after the repairman comes, though! dh is coming home at 1:30 so the repairman can come today. otherwise, he's not in our town til next tuesday! he is coming from mariposa, almost to yosemite. why they don't have someone closer, i don't know! they used to send a guy from merced and he was really nice. maybe they don't contract with him anymore...but merced's only 40 miles, and i think mariposa is at least 80 miles from here.
still windy as all get out. at the golf course, it has been between 12 and 34 mph, averaging 20 for the last 14 days! yesterday the pro shop made $74.70 ...good thing i sold a pack of tees LOL
usually we average at least 4 or 5 hundred on weekdays during the spring, and 1,000 dollars on weekend days. we had a golfer at 8:40 a.m. and the next golfer was at 4:08 p.m.!! this wind is just awful. i am wearing long pants and sweatshirts to work in late may!
i looked up the highs and lows for this time of year at the golf course. there was a low of 41 degrees for this week about 25 years ago, and a high of 101 degrees for sometime in the late 1990's. we are about 70 degrees this week, but the wind makes it in the 50's. working in the wind can be exhausting! at least i sleep like a baby at night, usually falling asleep during the last 10 minutes of whatever i'm watching at 9:50 p.m.!

KayKay vinegar takes the sting out of a sunburn. It smells nasty but feels good. If ya also do it before work tomorrow maybe you can annoy the onion guy!

right now, i am still laughing over an ad in today's local paper for a matching sofa and loveseat, described as: "floral design in burgundy and mob colors". i am assuming they meant 'mauve', but all i can think of is furniture that hides blood stains well should 'the sopranos' come to call! LOL

Right now I got the call from the Dr.'s that I was hoping I wouldn't get. My sugar test came back elevated again for the second time in a row. She didn't sound excited about it but wants me to come in to talk to the dietician to try to control it through diet over my last 10 weeks. She told me to watch my sugar intake until I saw her. I don't really eat a whole lot of sugar to begin with but realize that there is sugar in stuff that I probably don't even know.

Right now - Spitfire I had Gestational diabetes with my 2nd pregnancy. Basiclly just watch the # of carbs you eat until you see the Dr. (for example - 1 apple has 15 carbs, 1 english muffin has 15 carbs) Stick with more protien :-) good luck:-)

Right now I have to say it's gonna be real hard for me to know what's good and bad. I have always been a small size and have never had to pay attention to what I eat. In the last few years I have started to make a effort to eat better for the sake of eating better but that does not mean that I know carbs from protien if you know what I mean. So does that mean that 15 carbs is a lot? Gawd I really sound outta touch with my health.

Right now it's time to go home. I think that I am going to have a BLT for supper.....and right now I'm wondering if that is good for me? I know the salt in bacon is not the best but what about the others?

Hi, Froggie - right now!! I wondered where you were.

Spitfire, get a copy of the Atkins diet. No potatoes, no pasta, no rice, no bread - they're all pretty much sugar. Also limited fruits. I'm sure the dietician will have modifications, your body needs different nutrients when you're pregnant, but those are pretty much the basics. 15 carbs is not alot - 20 carbs a day is what is prescribed to get the body into ketosis - which means it's burning fat instead of sugar. I'm pretty sure a pregnant woman is going to need more than 15 grams of carbs per day, but your dietician will clear that up for you. Best of luck!!

Spitfire...I had gestational diabetes too. I ended up on insulin but alot of people can control it with their diet. Watch your "white" foods....potaoes, bread, rice, pasta and sugar sweetened foods like candies and cereals. When you meet with the dietician, she will set you up a plan to follow. It is pretty easy to learn. :-)

Right now I'm telling GAL that I've been here, reading everyone's posts, just not posting myself. I've been in a bit of a slump lately and really haven't had much to share. My fiance has been traveling for work every week so far this month, I recently quit my job and have been pretty depressed since, and the weather here has been crummy! But things are turning around and I'm thankful that I have you guys here thinking of me and taking my mind off things. You all have no idea how much you all mean to me! Words can not express!

right now, spitfire, GAL is totally correct. i cut out 90% of my potato, rice, pasta, bread intake over the last year and my blood sugar dropped, plus i lost 15 pounds, not changing anything else i do. i use cauliflower in my stews, under my tomato sauce, under my curry.....and have my hamburger patties between crisp lettuce leaves. i know you can do it!

I will not dispute anything, but I will add to be careful when you are pregnant and change your diet, those hormones can freak out!! Slowly cut back, and make sure your body doesnt rebel like mine - apparently my body needs more carbs than I was trying to give it... (but I found a better balance) Do try the wild rice combos instead of the white rice, do try oatmeal in recipes over white flour (like in pancakes and muffin recipes) and most importantly, do add more protein in your diet, and follow YOUR doctors advice...

cauliflower has carbs, just not as many and not as 'sugar starchy' as the other items. you can eat a lot more of it...and for me, feeling full counts! i hate feeling as if i am starving or giving something up :-)
cauliflower has about 5 or 6 grams of carbs in a cup, whereas rice has anywhere from 43 to over 150 per cup. potatoes are the worst starch-wise!

Right now I would like to say thanks to everyone. It will help me get through the next while until I see the dietician. I am such a picky eater that this is not gonna be easy for me. I love fresh carrots, celery, tomatoes and lettuce but other than that I don't like any veggies especially cooked. Growing up I was forced to eat stuff that I didn't like and now I still have issue with liking stuff. I'm a 29yr old who needs to grow up I guess.
