Fit Pregnancy vs. Unfit Pregnancy

This pregnancy has been so different from my first. Partly to do with the fact that I am carrying a boy compares to a girl. My symptoms have been so different its kind of odd. The biggest difference is with baby boy I want MEAT... RED MEAT . And with Scarlett I didn't want any meat at all. I couldn't even stomach chicken...let alone red meat. Besides the vast difference in symptoms  that come with normal pregnancy the major difference between my pregnancies has been my over diet and fitness levels. With Scarlett I ate whatever I wanted and however much I wanted. I only gained 17 pounds, but that was because I stayed so sick, not because I was being healthy. I stayed sick because I neglected my health and thankfully she did not pay for it. She was and is a perfectly healthy and active toddler...one that stays busy.

Stupid Cheez-Its

I have a serious love/hate relationship with cheez-it crackers. I love to eat them...but hate that I can't stop with a single serving! I'm sorry but only 28 of those yellow/orange amazing heavenly crackers isn't enough...even though it should be. And today my cheez-it demon won the battle.

So I shall put the box in the pantry and forget it until the demon raises again lol!

I haven't been blogging. I haven't been managing my pages. I haven't gained any weight(thankfully ). I have been eating horribly. I have been feeling like crap. I have been lazy. I have been neglecting my health. I have been in denial. I had a wake up call last night when I had a vivid dream that I had gained 50 pounds over night! SCARY. And this morning I woke up and vowed to stop. Stop self sabotaging and stop treating my body like a trash can. So here is what today looks like for me... Breakfast: Peanut Butter Banana Protein Shake Snack: 1 Plum and 1 Cup Cantaloupe Lunch: Turkey Sandwich on Whole Wheat, 1 Cup Cucumber, Romaine Salad Snack: Veggie Straws Dinner: Grilled Chicken Breast Strips in Buffalo Sauce, Sauteed Mushrooms Peppers and Onion, Pasta...
