It’s Wednesday which means we are getting closer to the weekend and I have my food journal to share with you! Which one is more exciting?????
I am currently 25 weeks pregnant about 3 months left!! My food choices are pretty normal these days minus a few chocolate cravings
Since it’s Wednesday I figured I should link up with the What I ate Wednesday Crew over on Arman’s Blog today to share my food journal with you from Monday. I can’t say this is my healthiest day of eats. I did eat cereal/granola a couple times but it is what it is so here ya go:
For Breakfast I whipped up 2 eggs with diced peppers & potatoes.
I’m not going to lie, green peppers aren’t my favorite but this worked that morning.
I taught Group Power at 730am. We had a lively & enthusiastic bunch for an early Monday class. I left feeling super sweaty and my muscles were exhausted. I immediately snacked on a banana in the car and then Ava stole 1/2 of it…. story of my life.
I got home and split another banana with her.
plus 3 of these Chocolate Shakeology Protein bites
We also ate some Peanut butter puff puffs as she calls them.
My 2nd class was from 1030-1130 and I somehow breezed through the workout even though I felt tired going in.
I came home to eat a random leftover lunch of Tilapia, zucchini & 1/2 a sweet potato.
I was still hungry so I ate a piece of Avocado toast with it. I told you it was random.
At around 1:15 Ava went down for a nap and so did this mama. I think my body was wiped from getting up at 5am, teaching 2 classes and being pregnant on top of it.
I napped for 40 minutes and I woke up feeling groggy, hungry, and thirsty. That’s not a fun combo.
I ate a yogurt parfait with greek yogurt, strawberries & granola. I barely tasted it because I ate so fast but I know it was good.
Normally I would take Cooper for an afternoon walk before Ava and I had some fun and made dinner but I was too exhausted so I opted for some computer work and down time.
It was exactly what my body needed.
We did a lot of cooking and eating home the past week or so and when dinner rolled around I didn’t feel like cooking at all. We decided to get Salads & Sandwiches from Cosi.
I got a salad with mixed greens, roasted red peppers, pistachios, grapes & gorgonzola. It also came with some whole grain bread and I ate 1/2 of it. It was a little tough to chew so I didn’t finish it.
Marc and I caught the end of the Voice and snacked on some chocolate granola from Trader Joe’s. This stuff is so addicting and I’m never buying it again it’s that good. I couldn’t stop eating it.
I know you are like why would you not buy it again, but its one of those foods that I can’t hold myself back from eating the entire box!! SOOOO.. it’s gonna have to be an occasional purchase
Your turn!!!
What’s something delicious you ate this week?
Do you have any foods that once you start eating you can’t stop??

Yay for viewing another pregnant WIAW! I love seeing this. That granola does look deadly. I may have to buy it – or not buy it (I’m like you – granola once I start, it’s hard to stop unless I have it portioned out in a bowl!).
March 30, 2016 at 1:15 pm
I agree!! granola can be addicting and hard to put down, next time I need to portion it out but I couldn’t help myself
Thanks for stopping by, I’m so happy to hear you are pregnant as well. I love reading other pregnancy blogs and I feel like we can all relate during these crazy 9 months!!!

Ha, you’re lucky you got away with half of that banana! My son seriously eats about 2/3 of my food at least, these days. The other day I chopped and roasted 2 sweet potatoes for us, thinking that I would have leftovers for his lunch the next day and nope. No leftovers. And I barely even ate any..
March 30, 2016 at 1:13 pm
It sounds like your son is a healthy eater that’s great!!! I find myself making double the amount of food now because Ava has a big appetite these days. I think I need to start packing double of my food too because they always seem to want whatever we are eating!!!!

I was totally wiped after teaching two workout classes and I didn’t wake up at 5am and am not pregnant! I’m impressed!
Also, I don’t keep TJ’s granola around my apartment. That stuff is so CLUSTERY AND DELICIOUS. It wouldn’t last long.
March 30, 2016 at 1:17 pm
I hear ya, the 2 classes was tough but thank goodness I had the opportunity to nap and kick my feet up for a couple hours in the middle of the day. it’s not easy but I made it through
You are right, that granola is clustery and the chocolatey taste is addicting. I can’t buy it again.. at least not while I’m pregnant haha
March 30, 2016 at 12:44 pm
Wow, you are amazing, doing 2 classes in one day. One of the foods that is hard for me to have self-control around is probably peanut butter of any kind. O_O
March 30, 2016 at 1:12 pm
Thanks Emily!! I totally have a problem with peanut butter too, but being pregnant for some reason has changed my obsession for the time being

So I think we are safe to call you super woman. Up at 5, two classes, pregnant, and a daughter… I say you more than deserved that computer time and dinner out rather than cooking yourself.
I probably should never buy that oatmeal. For me – its popcorn.

Thanks Cora!! i feel far from superwoman these days but I’ll take any compliment that I can get I somehow manage to get all the stuff I need done and then my body crashes on the couch and I feel like a giant waste of space!
I’m obsessed with popcorn too, I’m actually kind of happy its not one of my big cravings during pregnancy! I used to eat it like 3 nights a week. The granola is pretty addicting, I would say buy it but if you like chocolate it may be hard to put down!!
