Healthy Pregnancy

Now I have to have salt and vinegar chips! I was craving salad before, but I saw S&V's mentioned....off to the pantry to get them out and scoff while DS is alseep

JLeigh - I have been buying banana bread quite a bit so I am now definately going to make it! Sounds really easy too.

Entreat - thats great about keeping a steady weight. I hope I can do the same when further along.

Audax - I want to hear scan details too!

Cherished, Dr Tal, Kirsten - its comforting to know I am not the only one that has given into temptations with food.

I am going through a massive yoghurt faze. Cant get enough of it - which is good i guess! I have only put on 3 kg so far so I am just waiting for the size explosion to occur.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend! ps go the dockers!

fuzzy 3kg's!!!!! OMG girl I stoped weighing myself after putting on 6.5 (and that was weeks ago) well done to you. I am also eating yogurt every day and not just the regular stuff, I'm talking gourmet organic yogurt in scrumptious flavors YUMMMM

Should not be posting in here... again, today was a slice of bread. Macaroni in broth for lunch. Dinner was store bought falafel with grated carrot, bread and tahini. I didn't even make it through a fifth of dinner before I had to stop.
I'm not keeping stuff down all that well at the moment. Yesterday I had nothing. I ate a bit, but saw it all again Including blue powerade, which created smurfy spew

Have not gained any weight, but 6cm bigger around my tummy - how does this happen?

Hope everyone has a nice weekend! ps go the dockers!

I did NOT have a nice weekend courtesy of the bluddy dockers!

Hello lovelies

I just made a lovely minestrone soup for dinner with some lovely warm homemade bread rolls.

Doesn't that sounds so healthy (I'm not going to mention the 3 blocks of chocolate I bought at the supermarket this afternoon ssshhhhhhh)

I have been craving lettuce, I bought the biggest iceberg lettuce I could find and I am planning on eating the whole thing tomorrow. We went to vietnamese for dinner on Sat night because I wanted the springs rolls with lettuce on them, and man was I a lettuce nazi. "THAT'S TOO MUCH LETTUCE! - YOU DON'T NEED THAT MUCH" hee hee...

Audax: at the smurfy spew

Fuzzy and cherished: I had to buy yoghurt today too, yummy organic vanilla - mmmmmmmmmmmm I love vanilla yoghurt!

Dr Tal: yay to eating more than mash and oats! Glad you're feeling a bit better

Entreat: wow, how did have you managed to put on no weight since march? I've put on 2kgs and Im only 9 weeks!!!!

[Cherished]

Audax smurfy spew sooo funny! but not funny that you are so sick hon

Kirsten you are naughty! but lordy lord lord I'd love some of that chocolate especially if it is peanut brittle??? please of pretty please someone bring me in some peanut brittle

AFm I had the BEST yogurt I think I've ever had and it was at the royal Melbourne hospital on the weekend! Who would have thought???????? It was apple crumble on top and it had fresh blueberries through it and so thick and creamy YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Hi girls!
Hope you don't mind me joining in, I've been looking for a bit of motivation to stay on the wagon .... up until 21 weeks I was going so well being healthy, but had a 5 week blow out where I put on a kilo a week- pretty much just using pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever I felt like! The weight wasn't the biggest issue, more the feeling of guilt of letting myself go like that... Back on the wagon now, and am feeling much better. Made a deal with myself that I can only have treats if I've exercised that day (I'll only be strict for a couple of weeks til I'm back into healthy habits). Exercise at the moment is a walk with the dog for 45 minutes and I'm aiming to do that 3-4 times a week. I haven't read the whole thread yet (it's a long one!) but looking forward to sharing with you all!

Krystals - welcome to the group! Sounds like a great healthy plan you have there, and I know that guilt feeling, it's foul isn't it. Walking the dog is a great plan (I need to do that too!).

AFM, I need a biiiiiig kick up the butt! I have just been feeling tiiiiiired and so unmotivated. But I know my GD test is in 6 weeks or so and I really want to be healthy beforehand (may not make a difference, but hey, I've got nothing to lose!). Every day I say I'll start eating better once I feel better/once DH isn't sick/injured/once the sky turns blue/pigs start flying etc etc. I've gotta stop making excuses! And honestly I think I'd actually feel better if I ate better. So today I've tried to drink more water, have just had my metamucil (have to have that in order to have my PG vits - which might also help!). Also have taken my probiotics & vit D. Tomorrow I wanna do everything I did today PLUS have my two serves of fruit, and walk the dog for 30 mins.

I think i've been in a vicious cycle of having foods I know i really shouldn't (contribute to a dietary malabsorption I have) which I KNOW makes me exhausted/tired (but stops me from being constipated). So for e.g. I've been having cherry ripes... omg I haven't been able to eat them for 8 years... and I think I was kidding myself I could get away with them. Plus too many chips Instead I need to eat the safe foods and safe fruits + more water which should = healthier, more energetic belfie.

So this is my 'fess up, kick me post! I got a cold 3 weeks ago (after gastro) and I still just feel SO bleh. But if I eat bleh, I WILL feel bleh. Ok I'll stop ranting at myself now! Hope everyone else is going ok.
Meal plan tomoz: (seriously, my brain is just freezing up trying to think of this!)
Brekkie: porridge with blueberries, peppermint tea
Morning tea: muesli bar
Lunch: salad sandwich
Arvo tea: yoghurt & banana
Dinner: rice paper rolls with prawns & peanut sauce (that's what i feel like anyway - even tho it means a trip to the supermarket!)

Audax & Dr. Tal - so sorry you're both sick, hope it stops asap!
Cherished - did you end up finding out what colour bundle you're having? or are you leaving it as a surprise now? I got another peek at bubba girl today... still a girl (thank goodness *looks at the sea of pink stuff in the nursery*)
