I originally started this Tumblr as a weight-loss blog. I have successfully lost weight in the past, but currently, I'm pregnant! This will be the second child for my amazing husband and I. After eating like a maniac for the first trimester of my pregnancy, I'm ready to re-focus my eating habits. Not only for me, but for the little person I'm growing inside <3

I managed to say no to the fries I REALLY wanted from McDonald’s….

…..and yes to Double Crunch Shrimp from Applebee’s….the whole platter. I don’t even eat shrimp anymore, they’re gross little creatures that scour the bottom of the ocean feeding on whatever remnants they can find.

Eh, oh well.

I took today off

And gave into a couple cravings….including a root beer float :). I did go on a walk beforehand, so I earned it, right???

I was watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with R earlier and Donald referred to his golf club as the ‘mile high club’.

Who knew Donald Duck was so kinky?

I think I am finally feeling the baby!

Actually, I think I’ve been feeling him/her for a few days now. Just little flutters here and there. A lot sooner than with Redmond. I don’t think I felt him until 22 weeks or so.

Can’t wait for the full blown kicks and jabs - by far the best part of being pregnant!

I got a shit ton of rhubarb on Sunday from my grandparents farm….

Rhubarb Crisp is pretty much my most favorite thing in all the land. I made one today and it’s about half gone (hubby helped). And, I have enough for at least two more.

Uh-oh.

Afternoon snack ;)

I went grocery shopping hungry (very bad, yes I know) and told myself that I could get whatever snack I wanted since I have a shit ton of calories left to eat today.  And I chose WATERMELON!!!  It&#8217;s like I don&#8217;t even know myself anymore&#8230;..

No, I&#8217;m not having a chocolate milkshake for breakfast (but don&#8217;t think that hasn&#8217;t crossed my mind).  This is the color you get when you make a smoothie with vanilla yogurt, strawberries, spinach, frozen banana, ground flax and a splash of OJ.  May not be pretty, but it&#8217;s REALLY yummy!

Oliver wants some too&#8230;.

I have been craving a tuna fish sandwich for a few days now.  Now, although I used to love tuna sandwiches, I haven&#8217;t had one in at least five years.  The thought of fish out of a can just grosses me out.  But, I was seriously considering making some because I REALLY wanted it.  Then I remembered what I did the last time I wanted tuna - smashed chick peas!!!  

One can of drained, rinsed, smashed chick peas instead of a can of tuna.   Delish!!!

I’m having a huge craving right now

for Tostino’s Salsa con Queso. Normally any type of cheese-like substances totally gross me out, but I’d eat the hell out of that right now.

I had it in my hand at the grocery store today too. As much as I want it, I’m glad I put it back on the shelf.

Ohhhh…I get it. Dog walking = kid walking. lol! That sounds like a great day so far though!

Actually, it’s normally kid AND dog walking - I have a four year old Goldendoodle :). He didn’t go this morning though, I don’t think Subway would have appreciated it!

Feeling good today!

So far today I’ve walked to Subway to get some lunch, stopped at a park to chase Redmond around for a bit and then got on the treadmill for a bit.

Now, I relax while the boy naps by being a stereotypical housewife and watch soap operas ;)
