What My Pregnant Self is Eating - w/o 7/26-8/1

Whatcha eatin', ladies?

I was eating really well before I found out I was pregnant. Need to get back to that. I've been eating lots of crap. Freezies and popsicles with my daughter recovering from surgery and just whatever strikes my fancy. I'm enjoying ice. Clamato is my favourite. (Does everyone know Clamato? Tomato and Clam juice. Caesar mix. Sounds worse than it is)

Currently eating some takeout Chinese food from a place near work. This is the first food craving I've actually given in to. I haven't had it since February, so I figured I could indulge.

navete · July 2018

Last night around 3AM I was wide awake and had pretty specific cravings (Nutella banana crepe, chili dried mango, banana nut smoothie), I settled for crackers and a plum. This morning I’m having crackers and a homemade latte, even though the latte no longer gives me the thrill it used to before being KU (I’ve asked MH to dial down the caffeine so mostly tastes like hot milk

)

I think I’m gonna go buy some Nutella and dried mangos today lol.

purpleteacher82 · July 2018

All the carbs! Bagels, chips, PB&J. I really need to eat better.

catlady2015 · July 2018

@purpleteacher82 - oh, I LOVE bagels right now!! I really want them all the time. *chagrined look* I made myself eat chicken florentine for lunch, hopefully that earned me a bagel later!

meggyme · July 2018

@navete I mourn my morning double shot latte. MH gets mad when I forget to change the single back out to the double. He says single shot lattes are "inhumane".

purpleteacher82 · July 2018

@catlady2015 I ate for one breakfast. It was my last one so I definitely need to make a trip to the store!

shrub · July 2018

So I am a coffee addict and I am so indifferent to it lately. It's part of my identity almost so it feels weird. I'm sure it will come back when I return to work in September and am dragging my ass but for now I'm barely having enough caffeine to keep the withdrawal headache away.

navete · July 2018

@meggyme I'm actually having a slight aversion to coffee, but I'm still having the diluted version out of habit and stubbornness. Sometimes I hover over MH's strong coffee and take deep inhales...I catch myself doing the same with his glass of wine too, ha. And lol at YH's comment

@purpleteacher82 Carbs have been a blessing during waves of nausea. I say whatever keeps us going is good eating, no?

dtspmama · July 2018

I have been so nauseous that I haven't been eating, then I get ravenously hungry, eat ALL THE THINGS, and immediately feel like garbage.

The lack of coffee is killing me (I want it, but it makes me throw up. BOO).

TiffW2012 · July 2018

I've been eating my share of treats (see yesterday's post in FitMoms about the 4 M&M cookies). But for lunches this week, I've been all over this salad. So cool and refreshing! Not the most healthy with the salami, but could be worse. It is so good. https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/06/nancys-chopped-salad/

Yes!! I'm the same way. not hungry then starving, eating too much then extreme nausea.

bluebell08 · July 2018

Salads for the win! Super cold with quinoa. Breakfast is usually crackers and ginger ale.

chocolatelemons · July 2018

I really haven’t wanted anything specific except for skittles which I don’t even normally like. Everything else just sounds gross to me but I’ve been making myself eat mostly bland stuff and carbs like baked chicken, saltines, bread.

maggiemadeit · July 2018

I am still suffering some food aversions to coffee and meat. All I really want is fruit.

indigoheightsblog · July 2018

I'm on a chicken soup kick. I'm calling it my "fourth meal" since every day around 3:30 or 4 oclock i feel like i NEED a small bowl. NEED. Also... It's 90 degrees. Why am I eating hot soup?!

mamakate1616 · July 2018

Honey roasted peanuts.... ???? Can’t stop and I never eat these things.

I had no idea what Clamato was, but next time I need to get it out after a good dry heave, I'll think of that.

tier1791 · July 2018

@southerngirlinwi I love some Chinese food!

Soooo naturally I am not a healthy eater at all, but I tried really hard to clean up my diet when we were TTC because of I was having some hormone issues. So for breakfast some mornings I’ve been eating eggs with fruit or cereal with fruit. For lunch I’ve been doing spring greens salad with balsamic dressing, and for dinner we usually do some sorta chicken dish with some veggies. Tonight we went out for Mexican though and it was SO SO good! We’re leaving for vacation tomorrow though so I don’t think I’ll be having the healthiest of diets in the week ahead

novelblessings · July 2018

Still not feeling like eating a lot. Although the other day I really wanted a bean burrito and this morning a sausage egg McMuffin sounded great. DH also grilled the best steak ever the other day and I couldn’t get enough!

catlady2015 · July 2018

ohhh, @novelblessings, you just made me crave a burrito! A bean and cheese burrito sounds delish!! I may have to have DH take me for Mexican this weekend.

Gasbarro2011 · July 2018

@novelblessings & @catlady2015 All I can think about is good Mexican Food and Street Tacos. I'm so thankful that I live Oklahoma with lots of options including a shady looking Taco Truck down the street with amazing lengua tacos. I stuffed my face this evening and still want more. I may have to hit up my other favorite shady looking taco truck tomorrow.

catlady2015 · July 2018

@Gasbarro2011 - much respect, lady. report back on those tacos!

gowenc · July 2018

It's funny, I don't remember having any food aversions my first time around, and I thankfully avoided morning sickness - I would just get a little queasy if I didn't eat soon enough after waking. This week I've had the weirdest relationship with food. I'm trying to be reasonably healthy because I still have about 15ish pounds of baby weight from the last kiddo that I haven't lost, and I don't want to gain another 40 pounds on top of that. But damn, I actually threw away a half eaten salad the other day because I just couldn't stomach it. Then the same thing with dinner, about halfway through I just didn't want anything on my plate. The only things that really sound good to me are ice cream and potato chips. I might have to scratch the itch today.

mayoduck · July 2018

I haven't had much in the way of cravings or aversions. I miss my morning coffees more than anything but give in and allow myself a small cup or decaf on occasion. My doctor has recommended a high iron diet for me So I have been trying to include more iron rich meats or greens and fruits or veggies with high vitamin c.

meggyme · July 2018

@Gasbarro2011 @catlady2015 I miss living in San Diego for the good Mexican food.

maggiemadeit · July 2018

I am literally checking to see what time chipotle opens. You all having me craving Mexican! And I live in New England so sadly we don’t have the real thing around here!

southerngirlinwi · July 2018

I just ate a burger (no bun) and mixed veggies for breakfast. Seriously craving all the red meat right now.

cflo83 · July 2018

I cannot get enough Mexican food. I suckered my coworkers into it today for lunch, had it last night for dinner, was psyched when my husband suggested it for dinner the other night, and am now looking forward to my leftover spicy queso from lunch today. I never had any cravings with my daughter, mostly just aversions. At 6 weeks with her I had to force feed myself bc nothing sounded appetizing, and it had to be bland (think plain bagel with butter and mac and cheese). This pregnancy has been SO different so far.

maggiemadeit · July 2018

After weeks of coffee/tea aversion and the accompanying daily caffeine headaches, I made a latte this afternoon and it was GLORIOUS! And my head isn’t throbbing at 4pm. I am doing a happy caffeine dance!

meggyme · July 2018

I have been craving all the things I cannot have. This morning I wanted bagel and lox and DH and I literally discussed the pros/cons. Now I want sushi for dinner. Last night at the party we were at someone walked by with whiskey and it smelled uh-mazing! I wish I could go wine and whiskey tasting with this super sniffer.

kristimh80 · July 2018

All I'm craving is avocados, I practically eat avocado with every meal now. If not them, it's boiled eggs and pimento cheese. Seems though mainly buttery / creamy texture type foods.

@meggyme Go get some sushi girl! I had some tonight and it was well worth it!

indigoheightsblog · July 2018

@meggyme omg same here all I want are cold cuts and a frozen margarita!!!!!!!

cdub4292 · July 2018

We went out on Friday to outback and ever since I have been craving their Alice springs quesadilla. I made it a point to go out tonight to get another one & a salad hahaha! The struggle is very real. It was probably the most satisfying thing ever.

sulsulpoppyseed · July 2018

It seems that my cravings and food aversions come and go pretty quickly— to the point where I wonder if they are cravings at all. Last night I really wanted one of those port wine cheese balls and crackers. I settled for an apricot and a string cheese. My biggest aversion has been eating leftovers, which is really annoying because who has the energy to cook every night? But I’m never in the mood for whatever I’ve eaten the day before. I work for the schools and my return date is August 2nd (crying) so I’m going to have to figure out food to pack during the day...

ashley14598 · July 2018

@sulsulpoppyseed same! I head back on Aug 8 and I have no idea what I’m going to pack! With basically nothing sounding good I’m thinking I’m pretty much screwed! Right now I’m thinking it’ll just be bagels, granola bars, trail mix, and other snacky type stuff. Unfortunately carbs are all I can stomach right now.

DarkSerendipity · July 2018

This morning it's a green smoothie. I've been wanting tropical fruit, this puts a dent in that!
The rest of the time it's hummus and naan bread.

hummingbird35 · July 2018

I've been craving the mediterranean salad from Kaldi's (maybe because it has hummus and pita in it?) but I'm too lazy to drive there and get it.

applesandbananas23 · July 2018

It is never the same thing every day for me - - wish I knew what it would be in advance so I could stock up at the store!!

One day it was artichoke (I made two and of course haven't eaten the other one yet). Once it was a cheeseburger but now that sounds awful. I have been loving the bagels and PBJ, but the jam has to be apricot. One day it was a specific southwest salad kit - - again sounds terrible now. This morning a green smoothie sounds amazing but I want to buy it not make it.
