Up & Down

My blood sugar has been up & down a bit the last couple of days. Well, mostly down. I've become adept at recognising the signs now, so if I start to feel a bit weird I test myself. Both times it's happened I've been right and the results have been in the 3's, and I've had a glass of Orange Juice to bring it back up to normal and consequently feel a lot better.

I'm supposed to gain half a pound to a pound per week now, but infact I've actually lost a bit of weight. I guess that's not surprising given that I have drastically cut down (given up) on the amount of crap I usually eat. Ah well, if I don't end up looking like an elephant this time, that won't be a bad thing at all.

I'm also wondering if I'll get stretch marks this time. My skin was totally buggered by them last time, but I figure maybe once it's been stretched to the extreme it can't stretch too much more, right? Especially if I don't gain as much weight. Here's hoping. Meanwhile I lather myself all over in anti-stretchmark-cream and similar in the hope that I won't end up looking like a London A-Z.

It doesn't take long before you can predict your results with a good degree of accuracy.
