: All I know is, if you don't figure out this something, you'll just stay ordinary, and it doesn't matter if it's a work of art, or a taco, or a pair of socks! Just create something... new, and there it is, and it's you, out in the world, outside of you, and you can look at it, or hear it, or read it, or feel it... and you know a little more about... you. A little bit more than anyone else does... Does that make any sense at all?" Quote from PS I LOVE YOU

Wisdom Wednesdays- week 7

True wisdom for me is taking the truth and applying it to your life. People have always called me wise throughout my life. But I don't feel wise. I feel dumb most of the time. And simple things that should be easily understood, needs to be explained to me. Not putting myself down, just that is as honest as I can get.

So when I begrudgedly walked into my diabetes class, I was pleasantly surprised. There were 3 other pregnant women in this class. And from us chatting, none of us had been gestational before. Most of us walked into the class dreading what we couldn't have. But what surprised me was what she said we could have. According to my food plan I don't have to cut out many things. If I want a cupcake at my shower I can have one, if I sacrifice my other carbs for it. Portion control is more important than the type of carbs and the time I eat my carbs is important too. The nutritionist came up with individual food plans for each of us, telling us how many carbs, proteins and every other food group we can have when. She also breaks down for us the best types of carbs to have. Then we got lists of what foods fall where and how many carbs the portions are. So I really feel like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I left the class feeling prepared and feeling empowered. I can do this! And to think it took till I was 33 to get it!!!

Here is a copy of my nutritional food plan!
