Happy Hump Day! I officially have 5 weeks left until my due date. 35 days seems like nothing and it will be here before I know it.
I am so excited for the ultrasound I have this morning at 10am, but first I need to teach a class and train a client so I will try to be patient for that appointment. I believe this is the last ultrasound I will get until we get to meet our little guy…. WOW!!
I figured today I would share my food journal from Monday since it was a little more structured then my meals from yesterday.
here ya go:
BREAKFAST: 2 eggs scrambled with zucchini & potatoes
SNACK: banana, square bar, 1/2 chocolate chip muffin and a few bites of Ava’s leftover Eggs with cheese.
sorry I didn’t take a picture of the muffin, but that’s because Ava had pretty much destroyed it with her hands!
LUNCH: Salad with mixed greens, roasted peppers, chickpeas, grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes, & balsamic dressing.
I realized this salad doesn’t show the toppings or give this meal any justice. It was delicious and I’m a fan of all the ingredients!!
Plus some Plantain chips
This is the first time this pregnancy I ate plantain chips and I ate several handfuls!!
SNACK: Yogurt with Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries & granola
This is my go to pregnancy snack and I don’t think it’s going anywhere, I love it!!
DINNER: Pasta with Meatballs and Zoodles
Dinner was delicious, these were not my mama’s meatballs but I still loved it!!
SNACK: Tortilla chips with avocado
plus a KIND Bar at 10pm when my stomach was still rumbling!
This day of food was pretty satisfying and I went to bed tired but my belly was happy.
I am exhausted today, I got up to pee 3x last night which is unusual and Ava woke us up twice because she doesn’t feel good. I feel like I barely slept but now I have to go teach Group Power. Wish me luck!
What’s something delicious you ate this week?
Do you like deciding what meals you eat or do you wish someone did it for you? Personally I would love for someone to make all my food decisions and cook for me!!

I love that kind of tortilla chip! So good
I don’t think I’ve ever had plantain chips but they sound yummy!

Late July tortilla chips are great and I highly recommend plantain chips, they are SO good!

Wow 5 weeks to go- congrats! I feel ya- in at 38 weeks. Cheers to 35 more days for you!

Thanks Melissa! Congrats to you
The last few weeks or so can seem to drag but I’m trying to take advantage of the nice days while I can.

YAY FOR just 5 weeks left! I hope that you have enough stamina and keep resting adequately over the next 5 weeks.
Your eats all look so satisfying and good. I’m craving plantain chips now. And that’s totally okay that Ava wanted the muffin. :o) Sometimes I just eat the food without taking a picture.

Thanks Emily
It seems like I’m always splitting food with Ava these days and muffins have been making too many appearances!!

Yay for being in the final stretch! My second came at 37 weeks, so who knows – you could have a lot less time than oyu think!
June 9, 2016 at 11:50 am
Thanks Morgan. I’m so pumped my due date is so soon, and like you said it could be earlier which is crazy. My daughter was born at 38 weeks 2 days so I’m wondering if this little guy will be on the early side or right around his due date.

My boyfriend likes mixing zoodles with pasta too – gotta love the extra veggies and sheer volume of the meal!
June 9, 2016 at 11:50 am
I totally agree, the more volume the better and you get the best of both worlds!

I love Late of July tortilla chips, have you tried their new lime flavored ones? I personally like to plan all the meals and make all the decisions when it comes to meal planning and eating out. My husband luckily has no problem with me doing that ; )

I haven’t tried the lime flavored late july chips but I will grab them when I see them!! I tend to eat more tortilla chips in the summer time and those sound refreshing.
If you want to meal plan for me too that would be great
I’ve been so lazy with that lately.
