Fabulous Favorite Friday

Digg!
Happy Friday everyone! We made it through another week. January is just flying by. It is hard to believe that we haven't had a big snow yet.

For my Fabulous Favorite Friday picks, I thought I'd share a few things that I've been snacking on in the evening. This first thing I discovered when I had gestational diabetes. I've always liked cheese, but with the gestational diabetes I needed something that was already portioned out so I could count carbs. These little cheeses by Land O Lakes are great because they snack size and since they are wrapped individually, they are handy to take with you.
I also really like their size because Sawyer likes to eat them and it is just the right portion for him to eat. I personally like the Colby Jack but they also have Cheddar.


The other part of my snack with my cheese has been Triscuits. I have gotten the Reduced Fat crackers. I have noticed recently that they have a number of new flavors out including some that have rosemary. Those were a tad strong for me, so I just stick with the original flavor. The other flavors would be great to have something different for a party. I like the crunchy taste and a few of these are filling.

The other part of my snack has been the Crystal Light on the Go Pink Lemonade. I really like these packets because you can just put them into your bottle water and shake them and it jazzes up your water.
This was another thing I discovered I could have when I had gestational diabetes. Even though that has gone, these are some smallthings I've decided to keep in my diet. I have a sweet tooth and since soda isn't always the best thing, the Crystal Light is a great thing to have. It comes is so many different flavors. I have also tried the Fruit Punch flavor, as well as some of the tea flavors they have.
I hope you enjoy these snack options. I know a lot of folks are trying to change their diets and eat healthy. So hopefully these will be some new things to try. Have a great weekend!

Happy Labor Day

Digg!
Hey everyone. This is one pregnant momma who is happy to not be in labor on Labor Day. LOL Unfortunatley at my doctor's appointment on Friday, they decided to put me on insulin. So far I only have to do one injection at night. I am praying that is all I have to do. I am beginning to feel like a pin cushion. But, the last two mornings I've had good readings so I'm pleased to see some positive results with having to do this.

I am getting the hang of this gestational diabetes diet. I'm not necessarily liking it, but I'm getting the hang of it. I may be sharing a few future posts with some of my latest food discoveries.

I had a chance to work on a scrapping project last night. I took one of the pictures of our family from Halloween last year and put it in a neat frame and put some cool embellishments around it. It was a nice one evening project. My thoughts are turning more towards fall with the mums out and kids going back to school here.

Well, we are off to have a fun family day today. I will check in tomorrow. Have a safe Labor Day and those in the Gulf Coast are in our thoughts and prayers. It just breaks my heart to see Gustav slamming those areas.
