I definitely indulged over the summer 🙈🤪 I kicked my craving by not buying any sugary treats and drinking lots of lemon water. Bed time by 8pm teeth brushed by 7pm and vitimines that help balance hormones and blood sugar
Great summary! I’m pregnant again and am really noticing how much more sensitive to blood sugar swings I am than usual. A tool that has helped me is something I read from Lily Nichols’ book Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, which is some mamas have a carb threshold around 30 grams, but for others it’s around 15. By doing glucose testing, I’ve learned that mine is closer to 15 in pregnancy, so if I am going to indulge, I pre-portion at less than my threshold to reduce the swing. It’s difficult sometimes, but having a hard number has really worked for me and I am totally not the type to count calories or anything like that normally 😅
Thank you Nikko! AND CONGRATULATIONS💖 Yes, that’s an excellent tip and I love Nichol’s book - so well researched! Sending hugs and looking forward to catching up!

💖 What a great round up of self care practices! Lemon water and early bedtime for me too!
