I think it is the weirdest thing that all I want right now is cheese, along with my carbs of course. String cheese, melted cheese on bread, grilled cheese.... I have to be careful though because too much cheese can constipate me! Although I hear that can be a problem with pregnancy anyway.... Meh. I sure hope this kid isn't lactose intolerant like their daddy....
I'm trying out some chicken noodle soup right now. The broth is magical. I'm also freezing so it helps to warm me up. Here is what I had planned for today:
(psst, I'm putting the pescatarian life on hold right now because if I can eat meat and not throw up and it is all I am hungry for, then I'm going to eat it) I'll focus more on healthy eating once I'm feeling better.
Today's Menu:
B: Melted cheese on bread, Sierra Mist (not diet)
S: Saltines and Tums.... yeah... tums...
L: Chicken noodle soup, string cheese, water
S: Plain white rice or string cheese
D: ... probably rice, noodles or grilled cheese
I also have another Sierra Mist and some fat free milk. I really crave dairy late at night. Not cheese this time, HA! I crave ice cream or ice cold skim milk. We don't currently have any milk at home because we've been gone so much and haven't been to the store so I stopped by the gas station this morning for Sierra Mist, milk, and the soup I'm currently enjoying.
I am really focusing on cutting out caffeine. I know I can have up to 200mg a day and be OK, but I drank a small 7.5 oz Coke Zero the other day and immediately regretted it. I am also eliminating diet soda due to the artificial sweeteners but for a pick me up I'm doing full sugar caffeine free sodas. Plus, they hit the spot. I'll probably cut more soda out later on in the pregnancy but right now it sits well and makes me happy. Just like cheese.
I go the dentist next Thursday because I'm having horrible pain in one of my teeth on the top right side. Usually happens when I bite down on food the wrong way (crunchy or soft) so I'm sure I have yet another cavity which pisses me off because I take such good care of my teeth! It runs in my family though... *sigh* Luckily for me though I get out of the X-Ray processes. I hate that part.
I don't have much else to update at the moment. I'm going to be working on looking for a new place to live soon which is super exciting! No more apartments... no matter how much I love the stress free maintenance part of it.....
I craved vinegar, A LOT. I ordered Jimmy Johns all the time with extra vinegar and a size of vinegar for dipping along with 2 of their big pickles. Some nights I would drink the pickle juice from the jar at home. It was bad. When I finally mentioned it to my doctor she said I was seriously lacking calcium. Once I was on a supplement my craving went away.
