When reading that article I was a classic person at risk. Overweight…CHECK….over 25…CHECK… Family or personal health history…. CHECK…. although I am white. I already had three strikes against me.

When my son was born I was so happy to be done I thought ALL RIGHT all the worry is gone. Yet I found out as time went on that the Diabetes was still hanging on. I had to make a change in my life for the better or my children were not going to have a mother. So I DID IT! I lost the weight I became active and than I thought it would all be over. I went off of my 2 kidney medications. I went off the diabetes medications. Everything was going my way…. OR SO I THOUGHT!

 
Don’t get my wrong as I tell you this. I AM MUCH BETTER OFF THAN I WAS. Over the winter two more medications were added on for my kidney. (POOP) and my asthma gives me a bit of a problem here and there. So on to something for that for the summer…. (POOP AGAIN) but the real thriller was when all the sudden LOW BLOOD SUGARS CAME CRASHING ON MY DOOR. No I don’t mean that it knocked on my door…. I mean it BULL DOZED my door.

 
Future diabetes. If you have gestational diabetes, you’re more likely to have it again with a future pregnancy. You’re also more likely to develop diabetes — typically type 2 diabetes — as you get older. However, making healthy lifestyle choices such as eating healthy foods and exercising can help reduce the risk of future type 2 diabetes. Of those women with a history of gestational diabetes who reach their ideal body weight after delivery, fewer than 25 percent develop type 2 diabetes.

 
It was an eye opener when I was able to sit with my Dr. to find out that Hypoglycemia is a precursor for me of the inevitable….WHAT? Yup… I am a diabetic. That I know. But What I am learning is that soon enough I will be on the other side of the page and be pill/insulin dependent in the future. Once you have that wonderful Gestational diabetes. You have written your future. SO what does this mean for me at this time….

 
I will be closely monitoring my levels. Making sure to eat protein in every snack and meal. That way my levels wont crash as fast. Eating get this. RIGHT BEFORE I GO TO BED. So that I wont have those 50′s int eh morning any more.

 
Will I be okay? OF COURSE I WILL. I just didn’t realize that i signed up for a roller coaster. I realy do NOT like roller coasters. They scare me.
Momma~Fly out!

 I can tell you that rain is OH SO GOOD for my garden. Just look at my rhubarb.

My FLOWERS are LOVING the attention a good watering will give…..

But training in it….. NOT SO MUCH!

I would show you a picture. But to tell you the truth… I didn’t go anywhere. So I am not wet.  So there are no pictures to share. Hee hee… I will ride my bike today. BUT I will be doing it in the comfort, or lack there of, in my OWN HOME!

That is why I payed for the trainer after all… Okay not really. I did it so that I would be able to train in the winter. LOL. I will get out there. But not when it is raining this hard.

D~FLY OUT

Non- Alaskan kid sees a moose steers clear because it is so big and gawks from the comfort of a home or car.

AN ALASKAN kid…. plays outside all night with a moose happily chewing on the grass in the front yard. KNOWING that moose is there…

mom calls them in for dinner… and says very clearly..”GO TO THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND WALK AROUND THE FRONT. SO YOU WON’T SPOOK THE MOOSE!” What does an ALASKAN KID DO?!? Runs right up to it. Goes. “OH Hi there….” and than calmly RUNS into the house. “Mom the moose is my FRIEND!”

As I have said before I~FLY is going to be the death of me. If he wouldn’t have looked up fast enough he would have ended up like this…. With a moose of course!
