Bean Soup

So, I have always ate pretty healthy thanks to my mom and dad, but ever since I started dating Corey we really stepped it up a notch. Honestly, I rather eat healthy foods and I rarely eat chips, cookies, or other junk foods - the most unhealthy thing I do is drink soft drinks - well now caffeine free Pepsi and I love caffeine free tea! However, I saw that if I fail the next glucose test that you have to go on a special diet, exercise 30 mins a day (which I should be doing anyways), and possibly get on insulin (I think this is for extreme cases though). So I thought well maybe I should go ahead and start eating right and exercise just in case I don't pass. Only because I am worried that now every little thing I eat is making this baby ginormous! I am already very picky about what I eat because it is hard to find something that sounds appetizing to me and now I find this sample diet plan for gestational diabetes.

Sample Diet 1
Breakfast
2 slices whole grain toast
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
½ cup of 100% juice
Mid-morning Snack
1 apple
1 cup cottage cheese
Lunch
1 cup of lentil soup (or other bean soup)
1 serving of whole grain crackers
2 ounces of low fat cheese
1 cup baby carrots
Mid-afternoon Snack
20 raw almonds
1 cup grapes
Dinner
6 ounces of fish of choice
1 cup steamed broccoli
1 cup brown rice
1 cup reduced-fat milk

5 cups air-popped popcorn (plain)

I can handle all water and no sweets but, SERIOUSLY, bean soup for lunch... oh gosh please pray I do not have to eat like this for three more months! I also found out today that my placenta has moved a little but not enough for the baby to get out so I have another appointment to get that checked again in four weeks. I am going to ask if I can just rent a room at the Doctor's office because it would save me a lot of money on gas!
