Food Diary

[DollChina]

I posted this on my journal and thought it woul dbe fun to what you preggers are eating.....

I am now 30 weeks pregnant and I have been eating so bad that I need to start this food diary so I can make myself aware of the foods that I am putting in my mouth.  I have been eating tons of sour gummies....I mean a whole bag in one setting......I do eat other heathly foods but I keep giving in to my cravings.  I have been baking a lot as well.  I made coconut tarts last week and made a home made pound cake (the kind with 1 pound of butter) the week before.

So here we go...

Well, Its 8:05 am here this morning and I have had a slice of watermelon and working on the other half of my 16 oz tub of cottage cheese from yesterday. Not unhealthy at all I dont think. But I am starving so will probably add some pretzels and maybe some parmasian herb baked crackers. Mmmmsounds good!

Dinner - (VERY QUEASY) bowl of special K red berries with whole milk

6-18

Breakfast - Special K red berries with whole milk
Snack - easy mac triple cheese macaroni (craving mac n cheese) so bad for you at 220 calories and 660 mg of sodium.

On the plus side of things, last night is the first night since I found out I was pregnant that I did not have to get up in the middle of the night to piddle... YEAH!

DollChina - Chinese food sounds really good right now. Some General Tso Chicken or Chicken fried rice. We'll see what happens in the nest three hours before lunch though. Yum! Way to go with the gummies yesterday. This is a great idea to me. Let's start a new thread every week and keep up with what we eat from week to week.

MartikaDragon - I never eat hot dogs but within the last week, I have eaten 4. One of which with chilli and cheese from sonic. Although from a vending machine doesn't sound as appetizing.

Durhamjk1 - I used to go to two different places for dinner when I was preggo with my first child. I absolutely loved the taco bell mexican pizzas and I just had to have the chicken strip dinner from sonic.

BabyDreams - I am so with you on the Reisens. They are my favorite candy, but right now the thought of one just doesn't appeal as much. I figure when the quesies start subsiding they'll sound much better.

I also crave milk and cheese products right now. I remember this with my first as well. I would eat a bowl of cereal with every meal, if I could. Then in the last part of my first pregnancy, I craved raw meat. (Gross, I know). I never ate it raw, but the rarer the better. Weird, huh?

I have had water off and on today
Martika - I did not know you could get chili cheese dogs from a vending machine.  Doesn't sound to appetizing!

[martikadragoon]

Today I've eaten :  This AM:
A PB&J sandwich
A mountain Dew
A Gatorade
1 bottle water
2 chili cheese dogs from the vending machine... ewww.
1 cookie (white choc. macadamia)
1 sandwich (with mustard only.. subway but a slice of a 6 foot long sub.. so not huge)
and a Mango Arizona Tea...

I'll probably fit down something for dinner.
Yea, I eat crappy, but for some reason it's like it doesn't affect my weight (totally opposite of the rest of my life when a cheeseburger would make my butt jiggle!)

Well, I didn't finish the half a bag of sour Lifesave gummies but I had 10 of them and I am so PROUD of myself!

Babydreams, I have never tried the cold gummies, I am putting mine in the fridge now so I can have them tomorrow.  Wow, what a great idea.

Nikko, I know, but I am eating a lot of the bad stuff like the candies.  The funny thing is I am so discipline when I am not pregnant.  Last time around, I gained about 30 with my son but lost a total of 40 after and maintained it until I got pregger again this time.

Dinner is out of my control since my mom cooks Chinese for me....but it always has loads of veggies so I don't have any issue with dinner.

Ladies, I want to know what you think about this thread.  Do you think we should do it on a regular basis?  I think it's a great way of keeping track of what we are eating and I feel more responsible to what I put in my mouth since I am telling you guys.  Let me know.  I also have the diary in my journal.

Thanks and happy eating!
