Fat and Normal

So to start off I’m a little off on my weekly goals and have gained a little weight lately.  Currently I am weighing in at 170 which I am hoping to maintain until the end of this trimester.  That’s a long way off by the way since I just started the second trimester.  Below is a picture of me at 13 weeks 4 days.  I am starting to get a little bump, but I don’t fit into any of my clothes and I hate wearing pants!  For some reason I don’t remember it being this way last time.  Now if I wear regular pants after like two hours I feel like I am going to pass out.

I am back to writing down everything I eat which I find is a real help with keeping me accountable for what I am putting in my mouth and curbing cravings.  I have to remember that I don’t need a bunch of carbs and I do need lots of vegetables and protein. So I am trying to focus on eating mostly vegies, fruit and protein and only having a carb at two of my meals and avoiding carbs when snacking.  I know that most don’t follow this type of plan but I think I mean a different thing than most when I talk about avoiding carbs.

So a sample day is like this.

• Breakfast: 2 eggs, whole wheat English muffin
• Snack: carrots and hummus
• Lunch: lamb and salad
• Snack: Kind Bar, 1/2 apple
• Dinner: Steak and Shrimp, green beans, corn bread
• Snack: small ice cream
