Back to the Basics
Lately I have noticed that I am extremely hungry. I haven't felt this ravenous since my first trimester. Then I read that in the third trimester, women can add up to 500 calories to their diets. Wowza!
Reality check: I crave carbs, vegetables make me gag and I love chocolate more than ever. Once I realized I can add in some more calories in my diet, I knew I couldn't keep avoiding trying to eat as healthy as possible. Since I've gotten a little of track recently, I decided to start with the basics: healthy snacking- eat small, eat often.
These were my snacks for the work day:
Also notice the big, purple Bubba Keg. Anyone who knows me well has an understanding that I don't go anywhere without purple Bubba. I push water, water, water. I think it's safe to say I literally crave water. This started very early on in my pregnancy. It has to be ice cold and it has to be with me at all times!

OK, the Cherry Dr. Pepper soda is not on the healthy list, but it is a major craving of mine. I know my caffeine limits: 200 mg per day. I let myself have a glass during my plan time or sometimes I can hold off until after lunch if the cravings are kept at bay.
