It has been a whirlwind summer and a while since I posted. This summer has gone fast! My challenge recently has been high morning blood sugar, I mean REALLY high like 200+. My last visit with my Doctor resulted in another medication and no other advice. I hate taking medication so my goal is to eventually get off all my meds.
I have been experimenting with many recipes and recently I found a fabulous website that has been providing me with 7 meals per week that are low carb. This has benefited me in several ways. First I don't have to try to come up with these meal ideas on my own which I gotta be honest is always difficult for me. I end up falling back on the high carb comfort foods. Second, it has cut our grocery bill in half which is always nice. Third, by eating a low carb dinner and a small low carb snack (usually string cheese or cottage cheese and a few crackers or a piece of whole wheat toast) my morning blood sugars are back down where they need to be.
I have also been enjoying our local farmers market and have been getting almost all of our produce there. This has helped with the grocery bill even more and there is nothing better than fresh produce! I also got some fresh local honey at the farmers market which is really good for allergies.
All in all is has been a great summer and now I am looking forward to the cooler weather of Fall and hopefully more time to spend on my blog and my new addiction, Pinterest!!
