Hello to anyone that may still be checking in. I know, I know, I've been a slacker. It's hard to post about weight loss--when you aren't really trying to lose weight. However, I've been trying pretty hard to maintain and not gain--so I'm going to blog a little about that!
So, I'm not really battling the nausea too much anymore. I still have bad days once in a while but for the most part, I'm eating somewhat normally again. Of course, there are cravings that consume much of what I want, but thankfully those have been pretty healthy lately. For example, today for breakfast I had 1 packet of instant oatmeal, 1 piece of toast (with spray butter), and 1 piece of jerky (that's a pregnancy craving that I cannot get rid of). Total calories for breakfast was only 285.
I got in a good workout this morning as well and when I was done, I had another piece of jerky and some craisins. My lunch was brown rice, veggies, and some Teriyaki chicken I make for dinner last night. I don't know the calories on that, but it shouldn't be too bad.
I had some more craisins in the afternoon and a 100-calorie pack. Then I just ate the dinner I made for the family. Taco ring with grapes and black beans. No, I really haven't been policing my calories too much. But most days, I feel that I've been eating pretty well.
I will probably eat some strawberries and light cool whip tonight because that's another thing I've been wanting a LOT lately.
I was thinking about how much I've changed with this preganancy as compared to some of my others. That breakfast I mentioned is the same thing I eat every morning but when I was pregnant with my 3rd (Kenadie) I used to eat an entire Totinos Pizza for breakfast EVERY SINGLE DAY!! It's not really surprising that I got up to 278 lbs eating like that. This really is a life style change!
So, I'm feeling pretty good about my efforst so far. I'm about halfway through this pregnancy and I'm certainly not perfect but hopefully I won't gain too much more weight.
My ultrasound is next week, so I'll post more then. Please let me know if I can help you in some way. I still feel very strongly about this and guarantee you that I will lose even more weight once I have this baby. Hope you're all doing well!
