Last week I increased my metformin to 2 a day and I have survived! This week will be the true test because I have to increase to 3 times a day! I had a few bad days that I over did it on carbs and shouldn't have but they were so good :) I am down 7.4 pounds in 2 weeks so it is working! I am not taking it for weight loss obviously but it is a huge plus! I did enjoy some sweet corn and will until it is gone because it is only once a year we have fresh corn so why would I miss out? :) This week we will have another appointment to do my ultrasound to make sure everything looks good in my uterus and fallopian tubes so that we can move forward. That is really the only update I have. All is going well so far with medication and diet so far besides being tired of noncarb foods! One food I am very fond of right now is zucchini and spaghetti squash baked with butter! So good! I was told about Atkins bars and shakes by a friend and bought some and so far they are great! I think a shake for breakfast will be my new go to! The hardest part about those is explaining to Delainee those are mine and I am not sharing :) They are just so expensive and she doesn't need a high protein shake or bar.
The garden is growing like crazy! We have tomato plants pushing 5 feet tall and lots and lot of spaghetti squash putting on. We planted black beans and pinto beans too and some of them are starting to dry down it is very exciting :) I love gardening :) This year the weeds have gotten ahead of us as well as green beans so we are going to replant those which we did last year and it worked great for a later harvest. I have put up 18 quarts from one picking so I am sure I will get plenty from the next planting too. Today I think I will work on zucchini relish prep and possibly can a pint or two of jalapenos since I have some but no tomatoes ready for salsa making.
Happy Monday!
