Craving today = rice with egg mixed in. So, upon arriving home from work I put some spanish rice on the stove, cracked open two farm raised eggs in a skillet, chopped up some chives and added it to the eggs and waited for the magic to happen. In under 20 minutes I had a large bowl of rice and eggs that were delicious! I literally ate half the box of rice and shared the other half with Jesse, sans egg because he won't eat eggs.
Jesse was down at McDonald's when I got home picking up a treat for me. He had a coupon for a free hot chocolate so he wanted to surprise me. I guess it took a bit for them to fulfill his order so he also got a coupon for a free small fry that will be fulfilled in the very near future :) I will say, the hot chocolate was quite tasty! I haven't gotten one there before and I was impressed!
Tomorrow I will have completed 27 weeks and will start my 3rd trimester. I cannot believe it! Thursday I have an appointment (that I'm half dreading) where I will have my glucose test, get tested for chicken pox (did I ever post my rant on that?!), and get an ultrasound and meet with the doctor. Depending on how the glucose test goes I may or may not post on Thursday...but pictures and stats will be coming soon! I have a feeling that my belly hasn't grown a ton...but who knows. I have put on about 6 lbs in the last 4 weeks I think. It's tough because the doctor's scale never matches up with mine...
I just saw on TV that Jessica Simpson has already signed a deal with Weight Watchers for after her pregnancy. Geesh - I would think it'd be worth seeing how your body naturally deals with the weight prior to doing that. I would give it at least a year before trying a formal diet plan...but that's just me.
I think Wes and I did a diet 8 months after the twins were born. I kinda agree with you that you need to give your body some time to get back to normal before you start hard core dieting and torturing it.
ReplyDeleteI mean your body will drop off some of the weight naturally. It wasn't till I got down to the last 10 pounds that I thought I needed to diet cause they say that is the hardest to loose.
