Typhoon Pedring

Last night, I find it hard to sleep since Typhoon Pedring landed. I am so worried that the Ondoy incident will happen again.

I hope everyone is safe...

We don't have electric power for almost the whole day and I can't stop worrying about our work. We need to send reports and do our daily task.

After the strong wind and the electric power is back I am more relaxed and continue doing our task and reading books... but suddenly it's raining hard. NO more wind this time and to tell you the truth this is scarier. I hope it won't flood.

God.. help us!

Trying Apple Cider Vinegar

As I am typing this post, my blood sugar rises up to 316mg/dl. Today is Monday, the busiest day of the week. I am sitting the whole day doing my work and since I can't work out today I think it shoots my sugar high.

Well, I am not taking any medications, I don't like the feeling and the body reactions. I think I will die earlier if I have to take medications. So I've done my research and found out that Apple Cider Vinegar is a big help. So here I am sipping apple cider vinegar and hoping that before I go to sleep my blood sugar will lower.

I am doing this for 1 week already and so far my blood sugar is doing great and I think I will stick to this.

Tomorrow is Tuesday, my working out day and I am excited for it. I hope that my blood sugar will stay below 200mg/dl.

Please pray for me...

Getting There..

I missed posting something new here!!

I am now more focused on losing weight. I am working out 3 times a week and so far I like the feeling. I am more active and my blood sugar drops too. It never goes up to 200.

The exercise is not that easy but since hubby is with me so its never boring. I am looking forward of posting my weight loss next time...

Peanut Butter for Diabetics

I found out that Peanut butter is very helpful for diabetics.

When eating pancakes, spread with peanut butter instead of butter or margarine. Top off with sugar-free syrup.

Peanut butter, regular Jif Peanut Butter used as this example, has more protein than carbohydrates. This is important for diabetics.

Need a quick snack? Cut a slice of whole grain bread in half. Top one of the halves with a tablespoon of peanut butter, add a tablespoon of low-sugar jelly then top with the other half of the bread. Or you can eat it without the top piece of bread if you prefer.

For snacks, lunches or party platters, cut a rib of celery into three or four pieces. Stuff the inside with some peanut butter.

Slice an apple into wedges. Dip into peanut butter for snacking. The protein in the peanut butter will help to counteract the natural sugar in the apple.

When eating out and tempted by dessert, eat a few bites or small slice of peanut butter pie. This should be after eating meat or other protein during your meal. I have done this several times at a local steakhouse and it has never caused my blood sugar to go over 120.

At a birthday party and want a piece of cake? Ask the hostess for a small slice of cake and a tablespoon of peanut butter. I always do this and it has never increased my blood sugar.

Sugar Rush!

It's been 2 weeks since I found out that I have diabetes but before that I already have a feeling that there is something wrong in my system. I had the symptoms months ago but I just tried to ignore it. Maybe it was a blessing that I found it so that I can start taking care of myself. I have depression almost everyday! I am just trying to act normal because I don't want everyone to notice it. I don't want my husband and kids got affected. I am very sensitive lately to almost everything. Hubby started to notice it and he is really helping me to cope.

About the medication, I stopped taking the meds immediately when I found out that it will just damage my liver. During the first day when I took the meds I got stomachache, palpitations and I almost lose consciousness. So I decided to stop the medication and I only want the natural way of controlling my diabetes.

I've been reading a lot online about diabetes and so far I learn a lot at the same time scared. I am now aware of the complications of diabetes and I am so worried about it. My father died because of liver cancer and because of that I don't want to risk my liver, because I might have a weak liver. Well.. talking about genes. So I am just trying to prevent it to happen.

I found out that diet, exercise and some other natural products is helpful so I have to try it first. I am also checking my blood sugar many times a day. My lowest blood sugar so far is 178 and the highest is 380. The normal is 120 - 140.

I am exercising 3 times a week and stayed 2 hours at the gym. I am happy that hubby joined too. Losing weight is very important to lower my blood sugar.

I hope everything will turn out okay soon. Please pray for me!

First MTV!

Wow! Finally the video teaser is here! I can't stop myself of viewing it nth times today!

Trying...

My blood sugar seems complicated to handle. Sometimes it goes higher than I expected. I feel so down and got frustrated of the result but I have no choice but to face this one.

I decided to stop my medication. It just causes me stomachache, palpitations and uneasy. I hate the feeling. I want to lower my blood sugar in a natural way. The best way is exercise, I need to lower my weight because as you can see I am overweight. If I can control my weight then the rest will follow.

So for the coming weeks I have no other options but to religiously do my workout. I hope next month, my blood sugar is lower.

Please pray for me...

This is IT!

It's been a week since I decided to start working out. I had a great time at the gym but always had a hard time pulling myself to rise. I wake up late most of the time...

Early this afternoon is my first meeting with my trainer. She's nice and willing to help me lose weight. We do all the necessary physical test today and it's not easy to do.

Tomorrow is the first day of my intensive work out. Oh God!! help me... the trainer is keeps on calling me to remind me of our meeting and that alone will help me wake up early.

I think this is it!!

Health Check

2 days ago I got a call that my insurance was declined due to health reasons. I had a feeling that it is because of my blood sugar so I never wasted time and went to Clinica Manila for the lab test. I also talked to an Endo for evaluation and then...

My blood sugar is high. I was shocked because I thought everything is back to normal since I gave birth. I almost cried at the clinic but I realized this is not the end of the world for me. I have to do something for this.

I told hubby everything and he was so worried. He eventually enrolled me at Fitness First. I was so down that day.

Yesterday was my first day at the gym and so far I love it. Well, I always enjoying at the gym but due to my work I stopped working out but I think it's about time to prioritize my health.

Well, losing weight is just my second option but my main purpose is to normalize my blood sugar.

I also need to watch my diet and here's the guide:

I hope everything goes well.

Let me Wish!!

If I have the money to splurge I wanted the following bags:

LV Neverfull MM

Goyard

Mulberry Alexa

Chanel

Burberry

Hermes Birkin

Well.. that's my wish and hoping that someday I will have those bags.

I know.. I know... I need to work soooo hard to have those!!

For Comfort

Everytime I woke up, my neck is aching and realized that it is due to my sleeping position. Last week when we went to SM Megamall I decided to buy a new pillow.

When I checked the displayed items, the Tempur Pillow cost 350each, the last time I checked the price it was way higher than that. So I got 2pcs. for me and hubby.

So far, I had a great night sleep and everytime I woke up I feel so good and energize.

Thanks to Tempur Pillow!

New Gadget

Last week, I just thought that I want a new phone. I told hubby about it and he made me choose between a blackberry or an iPhone.

I also wanted a postpaid line.

After doing tremendous research and thinking I decided to get this new gadget.

An iPhone 4 with a Globe Line.

I love this one because I can still update my FB and twitter anytime and anywhere!

Okay... Okay...

I'm still here.. just busy thinking of so many things...

My only outlet is reading bookssss and visiting polyvore site to do some inspirational boards. (check my previous posts)

Anyway, I had my blood test already and I am hoping for the best!

Now... I am thinking about our work. It's really exciting and of course stressful but I am excited for it. The team is ready! Everything is well plan! I am very thankful to our Mentor and of course to my husband. They are working until late in the morning just to prepare everything for us to have a great transition on Sept. 5.

So we will be busy in the coming months! This means that we have to start saving for the house renovation! whew I can't wait! I am even checking house designs and decors as a guide. We also went to Rustan's to check the house items and it just made me more excited!

I also love that kids are doing great! Pillow is gaining weight and become happier everyday. She also learns new things that simply made us giggle!

Gareth is also doing well in his therapy and I can't wait to witness more developments from them!

I have nothing left to say but THANK'S GOD! I am forever grateful to you!

Goodnight everyone!
