What can I say? I like food and unfortunately I don't really like healthy food. When given the option between a grilled chicken breast or a piece of pizza I am always going to choose the pizza! I have done pretty well with eating two-three servings of fruit each day, but some days the only vegetable I have is baked Lays. The good news is I am not doing a ton of overeating, but it's probably not great to rely on my prenatal vitamin for nutritional value.
The other issue is that unless I HAVE to do something (like work or class or something) I am such a lazy bones these days. So even though I have the ingredients for a yummy spinach salad that I actually enjoy I managed to order pizza for dinner last and ate leftover pasta salad from the party for lunch today and yesterday. For baby girl's sake I have got to get better!
I didn't really gain in trimester one, and have gained a pound a week in trimester two (with the exception of the week we went away where I managed to gain three!). All told I have gained 8 pounds which I guess isn't too bad, but I feel like I am failing baby girl or somehow setting her up to be a carb and sugaraholic like her mama.
Only this week, being off from school and classes, have I begun exercising. I have walked 2-3 miles each day this week and hope to keep this up in the coming weeks as my classes begin to taper off for the semester. If I can walk 5 days a week until the new semester begins that gives me about 6 weeks of steady exercise which would be a HUGE improvement. The temperatures have dropped, but if the days stay this beautiful it hopefully won't be too hard to do!
