I Couldn't Resist...

DH took the kids down to my mom's for a weekend so I could get a bunch of errands done & clean this place from top to bottom (yeah, like it EVER fully gets done???) b/c it's seriously driving me crazy (& all 3 of them, DH included, they get in the way whether they're trying to help or not), and so my first bunch of errands was: grocery/cleaning supplies shopping.

You'd think that not being able to eat much & finding food pretty unappetizing would mean just the necessities & a small bill.  Apparently not.  I bought 3 things specifically for me, so that isn't horrible (& I couponed whatever I could), but my big splurge...Chocolate Ganache-frosted Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins.  Usually that's WAY too much chocolate for me, but I was walking by, & it's like my body hit the brakes on it's own, & I couldn't stop looking at them or move on until I picked up the package.

They will be testing me EARLY for GD (had it both prior pregnancies), so I've been REALLY trying to be good even beforehand for the babies sake, b/c I know that I'm probably climbing whether they've tested me or not, my body just does & it can have weird spikes even with just veggies & protein.  But I've also had incentive to behave b/c she mentioned one test my OB might order (AC1 or something?) measures the last 3 months (I told her right out that that would be bad...camping, summer festivals, fairs...c'mon, I can't live on rabbit food during all that bounty, it only happens once a year!)

So last night I took half (ok, 3/4) of the muffin, heated it up, & added vanilla ice cream for my dessert last night.  I'll finish the other 1/4 of the muffin sometime this weekend (cleaning is exercise, at least in this mess & should burn off some of it), but I'm doing my best to put the other 3 up & out of view until everybody gets home, & then between the kids & DH, the rest will be gone within 3-4 days, just by giving them sections of a muffin at a time, & so if I save them for the family, I won't over-do it...like eating the whole set of 4 by myself...& of course, that would call for a good portion of the ice cream box, too, b/c how else would you cut all that chocolate flavor...

But it was good.  And it stayed down.  So yay for impulse buys.

I've had type 1 for 20 years now....the test is an HB1C and it gives an average blood sugar over the previous 3 months. Anything over a 6.1 and they'll be moaning at you so make sure the muffin was worth the spike and eat all 4

I think I'd be a in a sugar coma if I ate all 4...but they look REALLY good.  I have an appt Monday again, & I never know when they're going to do the test early, & I'm sure it's so sweet, it would have me up & over for a good while.

On the other side of the apple, when I have GD, my numbers are so difficult to control even with the Metformin & Glyburide that I barely get to eat, no matter what it is, so I'm NOT looking forward to the GD diet again.  I don't know what the regular numbers are, but I know my dad's "normals" are much higher than mine, & he gets to eat more, & he's not even cooking a kid.  

The last clinic was constantly harping if I was just one digit over my "limit", but DD was 6 lbs 8 oz, & DS was 7 lbs 4 oz (but he also baked for 2 weeks longer).  Either way, I wasn't birthing gargantu-babies, & their sugars were totally fine at birth.

But I'm still not going to cave for the other muffins...sigh.
