I had an emergency.

I was doing a workout today, and I was 10 minutes from the end, when it happened. I began to shake, quake and have an all over blood sugar fit. I tried to push past it, but I'm 34 weeks pregnant and thought that I may end up laying on the floor or some other drama could ensue.

So I stopped working out after about three minutes of some serious shakes. Ran into my kitchen to get myself a protein fix...STAT! The thing about this blood sugar plummet is, not just anything will do. I wish I could grab a cheesestick (which I despise by the way) and be cool. Grab a handful of almonds/peanuts, and be good. Nope. I, in all my glorious vibrations, walked/ran into the kitchen and grab my blender. Throw in some greek yogurt (do you know how much protein is packed into a cup of that stuff, its like amazing) and a cup of blueberries. I wanted to make blueberry yogurt. Why do I have to make it so difficult? I ponder this as I'm zesting a lemon to add to the blender. As I add the ingredients and watch them mix very slowly. I don't have a professional blender that blends thick things well, I wish!

So all the while my shakes are worsening. Finally I get it done and the troops have swarmed. "We want some!" ARG! I knew it! So I dish them each up a bowl. They both want extra blueberries sprinkled on top, a drizzle of honey, and cinnamon of course. Curse you Grandma Sheila! So I get this all done, dish mine up without cinnamon, but with honey and sliced almonds on top.

I eat the yogurt in record time. Did I just become a vacuum and suck it down? So I get done eating and am still shaking, heck I'm still shaking as I type this blog, and its been thirty minutes or so. The kids are now wanting more yogurt, which I give them but its now their strawberry yoplait w/ blueberries on top and cinnamon. Now OJ says "How about a peanut butter sandwich Mom? It IS lunch time after all." So true. Still shaking and making sandwiches, I snarf down a half peanut butter and honey sandwich.

Here's the moral of my story. I must never eat a breakfast that does not contain a protein source. Tootie Frooties and half a pear just don't cut it. And now I've eaten lunch and didn't even enjoy it. I ate so fast I missed it!

Lesson learned. For now.
