Lunch Ideas for Gestational Diabetes

 Here are some lunch ideas for gestational diabetes. I'm not a good cook but these food are just really easy to prepare and the ingredients are easy to find too. I'm not going to share the recipe because these food were prepared by a very good friend of mine.
I told my gym coach that I have gestational diabetes, and I told her what I want to eat, so she helped me made lunch plan for 2weeks now. I'm very thankful to have such a wonderful and helpful friend. She is the cook behind these yummy lunches. I'm the pregosaurous that eat them ... haha

 **Ahem, tired face ** just woke up from afternoon nap. 

Hello dear, I've been really tired and slacking in blogging for the pass weeks.  Works and life has been busy too and I think I napped a lot too. Oh my!

Well, week 25th I started to feel slight sore on my leg and feet not that I stand or walk a lot but it just felt that way. I need a good massage almost every night from my hubby on my legs before bed. Other than that, I also started to crave for bakeries and western breakfast. It was really weird and funny because I'm really not a person who has sweet tooth nor choosy with my food, but now, I really do. I like egg tarts and sugary donuts, it was sort of a comfort food and I just felt really good after had them. Although it might cause my blood sugar to spike, I just really need to eat it. Haha!
Talking about the movement, it has been increased sporadically. Hubby and I are so happy and excited. Hubby played a lot of classical music for our baby before bed. My working shift for that week 25th was slightly short but I was on evening shift 2pm-10pm or 4pm-10pm, but man, it was still quite tiring. Basically I was on stand by mode to take over any shift at any branch that lack of staffs. Not fun at all! I can't plan anything because I might on any shift suddenly. Moody....
Oh, and I started my healthy menu on week 25th too. Will share it in coming post, pink promise!

So, entered week 26th, my colleague went for her maternity. I'm so glad she gave birth to a baby girl at 3.3kg, strong women! Now, my turn to take over her job while she is away for 2months. My working hour changed again, not only myself but my whole body too, started to feel confuse, especially during the 1st day, I felt so tired and grumpy. A week passes by, I'm getting more used to the new working shift which is basically Mon-Sat 9.30pm-5.30pm. So far so good I guess.
I started to awake more and more during the night because of the sleeping position that cause my backbone feel really uncomfortable and sore. Later on I will awake between 6am-7am just to pee and drink water and fall asleep again till 8.30am. I also need supper before bed now because I'm hungry most of the time. Shh, I'm around 77.5kg now, completely no idea what my doctor will response later on.
Besides, everyday is summer day for me. I don't know because the weather has been really hot and humid these days or myself feel really hot all the time. I need air-cond  all the time and if I didn't, I feel as I'm going to faint. This happen almost everyday up to today.

Regarding the sore legs, I think my feet swell a little bit? not sure but will continue to monitor for few more days because my shoes felt tight. I begin to wear my compression stocking again. I got the compression stocking under my knees and it really guarantee a good night sleep, at least not that much of awake compare to previous week. About my sitting position, I need to have frequent break every now and then because the entire muscle of my back feel terrible sore as if I had many hours of gym workout. Oh !

I think, that's my update for week 25th and 26th. Hmm, really sorry for the lack of blogging. I need to have a good time management again. ** both hand covers face **
Today is Sunday and I'm entering my week 27th with happy face. I had a good 2hours nap just now with a lot of sweat because today is damn hot. Hubby on air-cond for me before he went to work. I had a bath and now what..... I'm thinking about what to eat for dinner later on. Haha... pregosaurous!
