What's everyone up to ....

[vlagroupie]

Nothing much so far. Trying to clean up a bit since my parents get in to town tomorrow. DH took N shopping so I could get a little quiet from the toddler tornado.

Oh that's exciting... date night on the horizon ? I can only imagine how nice the peace is.

We wrapped up breakfast now meeting some friends for a playdate.

Went to an Easter party with our twins club, DD had a blast playing games and collecting eggs. Easter bunny FREAKED her out though lol.

I didn't even think about date night, it would be nice to go out to dinner alone, we'll see.

We're out for lunch. Still trying to figure this blood sugar stuff out. Starting to suspect Diet Pepsi is having an effect, which doesn't make any sense, but Google tells me it could be a possibility. So that really sucks. So I'm making some fruit-infused water for tonight and I'm going to sip it out of a wine glass and feel sorry for myself. Ugh

[JoBub]

Winning: Whenever we're out of the house, H is in charge of potty trips because Bub loves using the urinal. So I always get a few minutes of peace.

This sounds so miserable. If I fail next Friday, I'm really screwed. There's so much I don't eat.

It wasn't this bad last time. I don't know why I'm having so much trouble this time. But I think Diet Pepsi switched from aspartame to Sucralose since then, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Sure enough, I ate a ton for lunch and didn't really even pay attention to carbs, but had water to drink. And just tested and my blood sugar is fine.

So the Diet Pepsi is putting you over?

It kind of seems that way. I had a really healthy breakfast, and then a diet Pepsi and my after-breakfast test was way too high. It doesn't make any sense. Artificial sweeteners are not supposed to affect your blood sugar. But I found one article on Web MD about a study in mice that suggests they do.

Well at least they could be fairly easy to eliminate right? I didn't find it too hard to give up pop during pregnancy, but I needed coffee every morning to survive lol.

It just sucks cuz I can't have any other sugar, so diet soda is how I satisfied my sweet tooth.

Sorry
Can you have unsweet tea and add a different artificial sweetener? Sorry I'm not up on all this.

I don't know. LOL I'm not up on all this either. I really can't find anything about it online, so I'm just going to have to experiment a little I guess

I was looking at a DSW ad, does anyone have a denim dress from 2001 to wear with these?
