Lately and Advice Please

We've been super busy. How many times have y'all heard that? But it's true. Andrew started spring soccer. School's flying along. We had an open house at the school where Andrew will be attending Kindergarten (Kindergarten?!? Say it ain't so!). Our house was shown again . . . still no buyers, but we have some time. Our new house should be started soon. It's just normal, everyday stuff, but still, we're busy.

Although, I'm not a fan of always being on the go, it's a good thing because it makes the time pass, and well, everyday is one day closer to getting an adoption referral. Although, time passing quickly does mean Andrew is growing up quickly and that's . . . well that's blegh. Bulgaria hasn't seen a whole lot of movement lately. We're praying that things pick up a.s.a.p. Until then, we wait. I do think it's worth noting that it's been just over two years since we first filled out our application with our agency. It was exactly two years on February 14th. I remember starting the process with a massive amount of intimidation. If you've ever been through an international adoption, you know what I mean. The paperwork and document gathering is a bit scary. But we've been blessed with a wonderful agency and caseworker who've supported us, guided us, prayed for us, answered numerous questions, and just been there every step of the way. For that, we are so thankful.

Totally switching gears, and yes this has a point . . .
I've been a bit (okay a lot) sporadic with my work outs. I'm still doing them, but not as consistently as I should and want to. I'm looking forward to spring, more daylight, and warmer temps so I can get outside in the evenings. Which brings up the topic of morning workouts. I would like to workout some in the mornings. I have done it in the past, but I have this issue with low blood sugar. Even if I eat a well balanced breakfast, I have ridiculously low blood sugar until I've had breakfast, a snack, and lunch. It usually hovers around 55 until after lunch. Then it's in the 60s and 70s the rest of the day as long as I eat every three hours or so. And I do eat almost every three hours, because my body does not like being hungry, and no, I'm not being dramatic. Hunger = sick and moody in my world. I've never done my fasting blood sugar. Fasting is hard for me, because if I don't eat almost immediately, I'm sick, but as evidenced by finger pricks at morning doctor's appts. my post breakfast blood sugar is around 50-55.

Good grief! I have a point or more like a question. Does anyone else have this issue? And how do I deal with it? And yes, I know my best bet would be to get with my doc and figure this out with him. But in the meantime, I would like to run a 5K. I know I can run a 5K in relatively decent time, but I would also like to do it without passing clean out and having 911 called. Because that's what happens with morning workouts (which is why I work out at night), I get dizzy, I see stars, I lay on the floor having cold chills, and trying with everything in me not to throw up. It's quite pleasant. Then I drag myself to the kitchen to find something balanced enough to keep me from dying. Bananas and peanut butter usually work wonderfully. After that, I'm okay for the most part. Any advice on what I can eat that will keep my blood sugar stable and from plummeting to the depths? The last time this happened (last Saturday) I had eaten an egg sandwich with cheese on a whole wheat English muffin. Maybe I should've had a piece of fruit too? I don't know.

Okay, so yeah, too much information I'm sure. Now that I've bored y'all to death with my blood sugar woes, I think I'll go get ready for Andrew's first soccer game. Have a great Saturday all. It's going to be a beautiful day here in Central Texas!
