Healthy eating habits

I was watching one of my baby delivery shows and one of the midwives was telling all the pregnant women that healthy moms make healthy babies. So I decided I need to eat more healthy. I did pretty well for a while, but lately I've gotten lazy and am mostly eating carbs and probably a little too much junk food. I saw once on TV that pregnant women crave carbs and this is very true for me. I wanted to include this on my blog so I feel accountable to someone about it. I'm not trying to lose weight (until baby is born of course) but I do want to be healthy and strong to be able to tackle labor and delivery (I'm planning a natural birth again).

Today instead of a bowl of sugary cereal for breakfast I had homemade oatmeal, reliv (vitamin drink), and toast made of homemade whole wheat bread. This kept me full until lunch, amazingly, where I ate a turkey sandwich (I know preg women aren't supposed to eat lunch meat, but I eat it only occasionally which my dr ok'd.) and grapes. I allowed myself one cookie for my one sweet of the day. I snacked on some carrots before dinner, and then dinner was biscuits with creamed tuna gravy with peas. Not the healthiest of dinners, but hey it was quick and I was exhausted.

Anyway, thanks for reading if you made it this far. I think it will be helpful to me to keep a brief journal of my eating so I stay on track with my goal. My plan is this: more fruits and veggies, less empty carbs (like cinnamon toast crunch) and treats.

I feel better already.
