What My Pregnant Self is Eating 2/22-3/1

Re: What My Pregnant Self is Eating 2/22-3/1

  • Lots of breakfast stuff- cereal, pancakes and peanut butter/jelly bagels still not loving food to much but it’s better 
  • @paytonpedro lol, DH is on the same wave length as you. I'm trying to eat clean and he went and picked up my fav donut. And of course I couldn't turn it down. And naturally it isn't a dainty sized one either.  At least I seem to have kicked the Cheetos habit.

    Nothing sounds interesting right now, I'm hungry, but most of the time everything seems kind of meh. So I'm trying to eat clean like normal, but junk keeps ending up in my mouth because it's easy.
  • +1 for the cereal obsession. My "snack" was dry Cheerios...and I have nothing in my fridge because we're going away for the weekend. Craving all sorts of bad things for lunch!
  • I actually think I'm addicted to sugar.  There is a pile of Valentine's Day candy in my classroom and I think, "I will just have one."  Then, I eat one. And I can't stop think about it, so I eat a handful.  Chocolate, sweet-tarts, lollipops.  How does anyone eat healthy?  I eat salad for lunch, ever since getting pregnant, but then I negate it with pancakes, chocolate, smoothies, mac and cheese. 
  • @noideawhatshesdoing mmmmmm Cheetos! Haha. Ugh. Yeah. I have a problem. Just give me all the carbs and junk food. I guess it’s a plus that I also want fruit right? 
  • @zombiehoohaa same!! I ate like three breakfasts this morning.  An english muffin, then an hour later 2 hardboiled eggs, and then some grapes.  Lunch was a small bowl leftover vegetable beef stew and since then I've eaten 2 snacks  :D   At least most of it was healthy, but I am meeting my old boss for dinner at Canyon Cafe and I was just drooling over their menu.

  • I'm newly obsessed with English muffins.  I thought for sure the buy one get one free pack was going to go moldly because I'd never finish both... Then I ate both packs in a week. English muffin pizzas, english muffins with butter, english muffins with eggs an cheese etc. I Can't stop. I choke down a green smoothly Every day to get some veggies in in addition to all the carbs. 
  • @babybakie I just bought the banana bread English muffins... heavenly! 

    Today was kind boring, I treated myself to Starbucks and got the citrus defender and a cheese danish, a tofu poke bowl for lunch and banana chips and Mini Gouda cheese for snack. Not sure what I want for dinner but I started to get really hungry and don’t feel like cooking!
  • @babybakie same here! Totally obsessed had one for lunch as a sandwich. And @krystlerr I made a tofu poke bowl last night!
  • If I’m home for breakfast i usually go for an English muffin egg sandwich, so yummy! Before DS i hated eggs but now they are amazing! 
  • Fruity pebbles. All the fruity pebbles. If I am halfway through the box, bf goes and buys me more. I have like 2-3 bowls a day. 
    I've been contemplating bringing a box to work. I may have a problem
  • My new obsession is baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, and cheese. I’ve had one every day for the last 4 days! I don’t know why, but they are hitting the spot! 
    @julybabybear I’m the opposite. I’m normally addicted to sugar, but when I’m pregnant I don’t care for sweets much. I was the same way with DS. Shortly after having him I was back to shoveling in all the chocolate.
  • @powellgirl I ate so many baked potatoes in the first tri. for me just butter and a pinch of salt.. mmm so good. I've also noticed a decrease in my sweet tooth bc I was a huge sweets eater before and not so much right now
  • @powellgirl @moguippy I'm so jealous!  I would so rather be craving potatoes and things.  My poor teeth are rotting away I'm sure!  Plus baby is getting a sugar rush.  Must resist, must resist!
  • @powellgirl I've had two baked potatoes this week and I'm sure I'll have more. Yummm!! Never really cared for them before, but suddenly it's all I want! 
    Also im really into blended veggie soups and giant salads with lots of veggies. This is a complete 180 from the first trimester. 
    And +1 for not liking sweets. I get the worst after taste from them.

    Same here! Could not care less about sweets and love blended veggie soup! Helps me making sure I get those greens in.
  • Salads have been my big craving lately!  With strawberries and feta and a raspberry walnut dressing that I found.  So yummy!  

    Also rainbow sherbet.  But only the kind with lemon, orange, and lime (raspberry sherbet is awful...).

  • Hood Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (because its flaky chocolate chips)

    Oh and the owner of my company has 2 young girls and just bought the office two full cardboard boxes of girl scout cookies with like 10 boxes in each large box.....and there are only 4 of us hahaha Does he think just because I'm pregnant I'm going to eat them all?........maybe he's right  :D
  • Treating myself to lunch...what should I have?? Strangely been craving Chipotle...I'm teaching two classes today so I can have a little more fuel than usual...Mac and cheese is also calling my name!
  • I've been eating SO MUCH KALE. Literally just a giant bowl with a little Ken's Italian dressing at least once per day.
  • Today all I want is candy and sweets  :s Like I cant get enough. Ugh. I’ve literally looked up what my body could be missing to make me crave sweets to bad!! Definitely doesn’t help that I have so much in the house..... 
  • had leftover thai red curry for lunch. Then went grocery shopping. The checkout lines were super long so I was wondering for a bit..somehow found myself down the chip/snack isle..somehow grabbed a bag of Goldfish..and am somehow stuffing my face with them now.

  • Slightly addicted to blueberry English muffins. It was but one get one free so why not. Best grocery choice i made last weekend.
  • I MAY have an issue with chips as of late. I've been trying to tell myself that if I crave it for more the. A few days, then go ahead and give into said craving. I may have gone overboard with this one. They're just soooooooo good!! 

    Also, I may or may not have bought 4 boxes of Girl Scout cookies 2 weeks in a row and have finished all but 1 box...

  • This dummy has been eating ALCOHOL.   :# I pretty much hate vegetables now so I've been trying to get my intake through green smoothies. I had the brilliant idea the other day that vanilla extract will cut the spinach flavor a bit. I just realized today while drinking it, that vanilla extract has alcohol. When I read the bottle it said 35%!!! I have been putting in about 1 or 2 tablespoons or so.  :/:/:/:/
  • @babybakie that's less than a couple sips, I wouldn't worry at all. 

    I had an delicious breakfast burrito this morning. I'mm healthy it up the rest of the day :)

  • Thanks @runsomewhere! I feel so stupid! 
  • @babybakie can’t be as bad as me yesterday taking a small lick from raw cake batter with eggs.
  • Hubby made a delicious egg scramble with a corn tortilla cut up in it. Just added some avocado and a glass of grapefruit juice, and I have a happy belly (for the next hour, lol)

    @babybakie I'm sure it's ok but good to get the reminder! I have vanilla pods so I guess I'm fine using those but I usually have extract around as well.
