My morning sickness has been giving me one heck of a run for my money but Im still trying to make healthy low fat choices. Im pleading the 5th on the cheesies the other morning.  Ive loosend my standards of 20% fat from calories or less. Some days there isnt anything that sounds good to eat, but peanut butter has always seemed okay to me no matter how I am feeling so Ive been eating peanut butter fairly often, a few times a week. I guess its worth it, its a good source of protien, which I need a lot of. Im exhausted and my blood volume is very low so I need protien and iron. That is also where I have started to splurge. I was eating very very little red meat because even lean cuts are high in fat. I grilled steaks the other day and my husband is grilling some kind of cut of beef tonight. I definatly cant eat steak like I used to though!

Im still craving healthy foods, its pretty remarkable and I have to wonder if its because of eating low fat prior to getting pregnant. My ‘worst’ craving has been cheese. Mostly Brie cheese, which pregnant woman cannot consume. I am practically dreaming about Brie. So wierd. Cheese has been up there on my most recent cravings along with tuna. With my other pregnancies I was craving junk like cake, brownies, cookies etc. 

My weight this morning was 156.0lbs, The day I took my pregnancy test I think I was 156.6lbs. So my weight gain is minimal.
