I'm....
Not diabetic! HAHAHA! :)
Okay- so honestly I'm pregnant with my third baby. Yay! ...BUUUUT this definitely will put my weight "LOSS" on hold for awhile... but not stop me from being the healthiest me I can be and make this pregnancy the best I have had yet. This is the fittest I have been pregnant and I intend to stay as active as possible. Now you know why I am in the pelvic floor class, eh? HAHA! Honestly though as soon as I create a plan with my doctor on how to manage my weight and the developing baby I will be able to share it with you.
That said I did find out this morning that I am NOT diabetic. After my car accident my urinalysis registered sugar in my urine and my walk-in doctor was adamant that I had diabetes and needed to be tested immediately. Being the stubborn mule that I am, I passively refused by never showing up. I just never went in. How would I have developed diabetes AFTER losing a lot of weight- but not while I was the heaviest I have ever been? It boggled me and I decided he was full of pooh.
Now don't get me wrong, I do respect doctors greatly and I appreciate their concern for their patients, but since having my daughter I have kind of learned to call their bluffs. Most doctors are soo worried about being held liable or be sued they'd rather scare the living snot out of you even if the indicator is so small and minute. My philosophy? THINK BEFORE SPEAKING. I was JUST in a serious car accident... could it be possible there was sugar in my urine because of stress???
Anyway- so all my ranting aside, when I was at my first OB appointment yesterday they MADE me take this test because heaven forbid I go into this pregnancy blind. (Crazy stubborn Nichole...) And this morning I looked online and guess what- HEALTHY AS AN OX! Nothing unusual about me other than pregnant. And the only reason this is unusual is because we have NO idea how far along I am... was I pregnant before the accident? Or afterward??? According to the records I would have gotten pregnant the day OF the accident- NOT LIKELY... :P So in a week, July 2nd, I find out everything that has been running around confusing me in my brain and I can't wait.
Here's to being healthy and trying to remain that way!!! An d I wish all you luck in your journey's to becoming a better you too!

SO happy for you Nichole! I know that as I've lost weight.. the peace of mind of being HEALTHIER and being further and further from so many health problems has been the biggest reward. Bigger than getting skinnier! To not have to stress whether you are becoming diabetic is HUGE. Since my dad had diabetes I was high risk already and I'm sure I was VERY close to developing it. Yay for being healthy. I'll bet this pregnancy is going to be awesome.. especially staying active.
Yay, yay, yay! Such great news on both parts. Being preggers is definitely a great reason to put a pause on weight loss. Congrats girl!
I'm so happy for you!! And I'm so glad you aren't diabetic!! And yay for healthy pregnancies!!
Really, truly happy for you. And can't wait to hear your due date. Grateful, as well, that you aren't dealing with diabetes right now. You shouldn't either as you continue to remain active and eat healthy nutritious foods. Your baby is lucky to have you as its mommy.
