really long vlog that tells you:
1. more about MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
2. why I am part of mamavation as a preggo and how much I appreciate y’all
3. my challenges this past week
In case you don’t watch here are my challenges:
1. eating even if I am not hungry despite the whims of my pregnant body
2. continuing to drink my water, just slower. and through the day but not too late (I don’t like peeing in the middle of the night if I can avoid it)
3. recognizing my body as it changes, the bump as started and carrying that info into my exercise
Last Friday when I tweeted I was not going to screw myself like I did the day before and eat 3 meals plus snacks that day my husband laughed and said there would be no way. He was kind of right. It really is hard to plan that many meals for my body right now. Snacks are fruit, nuts, veggies. Breakfast either egg-based or whole grain based.
So this week I will eat a substantial breakfast or lunch and snack around that and do dinner. Here are dinners for the next few days (it is hard to plan with my erratic changing tastes in food):
Monday: leftover tamarind lentils and brown rice with salad
Tuesday: whole wheat pizza with veggies
Wednesday: our 2nd anniversary (swoon)…. butternut squash soup, salad, and chocolate souffle
Thursday: black beans, rice, salsa. avocado
lol wait till you start bumping into walls or doors, you're really going to take it slow as not to loose balance as your belly grows. I don't see any problems with your eating habits, everything seem so much healthy that you're doing. You are an inspiration everytime I read or view your posts.
You are going to be surprised how strong you actually are pregnant. My first pregnancy I was a coach potato, but my second pregnancy was so incredibly active. I remember being so shocked by how much I COULD do, then by what I couldn't do.
This group is going to be so good for you, cause they are going to be a good source of help when the baby is born. We've all been through it.
And I'm a nut right along with you on the food supply. I think some heads should roll. I really think the food supply is what is causing all the cancers, etc.
Okay, I'm moving to Colorado to be your very BFF. I just LOVE your videos. You are so happy and cheerful, but I was sad to hear your story about the accident. I think it was awesome you were going for your PhD, but there is a reason for everything. I'll probably be taking that road in another year or two.
I've done the depression thing before too…after each of my boys were born. Make sure you stay in tune with your body and recognize any signs after birth. Hopefully you wont need to worry because you are being so healthy. A healthy body, a healthy mind. You are doing it all right.
I'm serious about the baby shower – I really am!
Happy Anniversary!
Being aware of your changing shape can be hard, sometimes it changes daily! But I totally admire you for all that you are doing, not only to have a healthy pregnancy, but a healthy life for you and your family!
Keep it up, girl!
You are a very strong woman! You are such a great role model.
I walked and walked when I was pregnant. It was one of the things that mde me feel better on though sluggish preggo days. You kind of become a physics experiemnt_ like "A body in motion, stays in motion.
Good luck with your food goals this weelk
You are such an inspiration! Congrats on your pregnancy , enjoy each and every moment and do what your body tells you!
I absolutely love your vlogs. What an amazing inspiration to all of us. I wish I lived in Colorado and could enjoy your lifestyle. It isn't easy in small town South Dakota. It is so exciting to follow your pregnancy journey. Thank you for sharing it with us. Good Luck this week.
Happy early anniversary!! Yay! You are doing so well for you and your baby. AND you are an inspiration and support to us, so thank you! You will be a fantastic mama! (And you are so cute when talking about your bump – you all aglow! I remember when I first noticed my bump. Similar situation – I was like, OH, hello there!) hee hee. 😉
You're awesome!!! Mmmmm…pickles & string cheese, hehehehehe. Nuts are a yummy snack. Drink!!! 😉
I'm so glad you're a part of this group. And, girl, you are a mom already! Take care of yourself and the little one.
