Well, yesterday was night and day different from the day before. I stuck to my planned meals, didn't eat any snacks and didn't eat any dessert or candy. I did feel pretty bad all day with hideous heartburn from the moment I woke up almost all the way to bedtime. It's a great reminder that diet choices are the cause of what I used to think were just the side effects of pregnancy.
I went to the doctor this morning for my 32 week check up. Baby is measuring right on and heartbeat sounds great. The baby is a little gymnast so I haven't been worried at all! The doctor did say that my weight gain is a little above what they would like to see. She recommended scaling back on sugar and carbs which is right in line with what Dustin and I are planning for our January Whole30 starting on Monday the 7th. I am confident that I can keep my weight in a healthy range and it will feel great to shed some of the extra pounds that I have gained that are unnecessary.
Food journal for yesterday:
Breakfast - Egg bake (eggs, spinach, homemade ground pork, sweet potato)
Lunch - pot roast, potatoes, carrots, peas
Snack - toast, PB, banana, honey
Dinner - kung pao shrimp, 1/3 cup rice, 1/2 cup peas
I slept so much better last night although the vivid dreams continue so I never feel fully rested.
I was invited to participate in an 8 week yoga class at work which brings me right to my due date. That will be a great way to stay flexible up to that time.
I am feeling excited and confident about the next few weeks and getting back on track. It is possible!!
