Watch out for rolling tumbleweed!
Mar. 23rd, 2007 11:30 amThere is little lonelier than working on a college campus on the Friday of Spring Break. It is like a freaking ghost town around here. As I was walking the bazillion miles from my assigned parking lot to my job (I tend to call it the "Involuntary Employee Exercise Program") I realized that I could have totally parked in the tiny lot outside my office door - and sure enough, the whole lot was completely empty.
We went and came back from Florida with no hitches - no long lines, no cancelled flights, no emergencies - which is nice. The weather was gorgeous, 80s usually and sunny, and there was some pool floating. We also went to the big beach on Wednesday to walk around a little bit and it was HOT there. It was hard to believe we'd left big snowpiles behind at home, it just didn't seem like the same time of the year. I could never live in a place like that because I would NEVER do anything but soak around.
I wasn't great about eating, though, and think I put on 5lbs. during vacation alone. I'm not sure because our home scale is incredibly defective but there was a jump. Yikes. I am scared to go to the midwife and find out for sure, and I'm also scared that I've picked up the fun of GD since I stopped Metformin. (Glucose screen's in a little over a week.) I don't know why it seemed like a good idea at the time. It's nice to be drug-free but not at the expense of my health or my kid's.
Here's hoping it's just a vacation fluke and that things settle down when I go back to eating like a normal person. I tried to eat good breakfasts and stuff but when you go out to eat for almost every meal it's kind of inevitable. HOWEVER, we did go to a Bob Evans and because I hadn't had any since I left Ohio, I did indulge in a glass of their blue koolaid. It was the most disgustingly sweet thing I'd had in a long time (usually I drink about a gallon of water a day) but the kid LOVED it and was jonesing for more all day. Besides, it made me think of Sean (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
livinginfits) and all of the bloolaid we drank during our dinner dates. I sure do miss me some Sean.
Is it possible to gain like 10lbs in a month and NOT have GD? Please?
