So this blog has been all about how I am trying to lose the weight I gained while pregnant- but surprise! Im pregnant!  Im 6 and a half weeks along now and have continued eating low fat and healthy. My last two pregnancies I ate a ton of horrible food and even though I didnt gain a huge amount of weight during my pregnancies it was all fat! I ate tons of sugar sweetend lemonade and brownies with my first son and obscene amounts of pastries with my second, mostly chocolate or chocolate chip pop tarts. I am doing great with dealing with the crazy cravings. So far my cravings have been all been for pretty decent foods. My biggest craving is pudding- mainly tapioca pudding with chilled canned mandarine oranges. I make it with skim milk so it is very low fat but a good sources of calcium and vitamine C. My other big pudding craving is pistacio pudding with whipped topping, marshmallows and pineapple. So the marshmallows arent so great for me, but its so yummy!! I want to work hard this pregnancy to keep my weight gain to wieght that needs to be gained, not just a bunch of fat. Ive worked too hard to lose all of that fat to let myself eat crap and gain it back. I am being slightly more leinent on my fat intake since the baby needs it to develope but Im still being very watchful and eating lots f fat free or low fat products. I just let a few higher fat choices slide in once in a while. Like lean cuts of beef- more than 20% calories from fat but its important for me to get some red meat in my diet for the iron. When I took my pregnancy test I weight 156lbs, I hovered around 155lbs for a while and this morning I was up to 157. Im hoping to finish my first trimester at 159lbs or less.
