wiaw - creeper alert

June 19, 2013

Go me for getting this up “on time”! Today is going to be a relatively busy day, so I wanted to get this written up as soon as I got home from grad class last night. Today I have an acupuncture appointment, a lunch date with Lauren, and some babysitting time with Princess Aubrey.

Yesterday was a good one – and these girls kept me laughing all day long. Seriously, they would NOT stop moving! At one point I thought Baby A was seriously trying to claw and punch her way out of me.

Anyway, onto the eats – I think I did much better than I did last week. There were a lot more vegetables to be had! If you happen to notice, there is a creeper in the majority of my pictures from yesterday. Charlie wanted all of my food!

Breakfast – 8:30 AM

I didn’t end up rolling out of bed until almost 8:00 after a pretty restless night of sleep (waking up almost every hour) which means that after taking my thyroid medication, I didn’t get to eat until 8:30! (You’re supposed to take it on an empty stomach and not have anything to eat for 30-60 minutes to give it a chance to absorb)

My breakfast wasn’t too traditional. All I could think about when I got up was a regular lunchtime sandwich, so that’s what I had! It was packed full of veggies, avocado, cheese, and some mayo/mustard. It hit the spot! I also had a pineapple CHO on the side.

I spent the majority of my morning cleaning around the house. Our floors desperately needed to be washed. I vacuum every 2 days or so, but Charlie’s slobber seems to leave marks everywhere. It wasn’t something the floor mop could handle – and I have to say, that might be the last time I get down on my hands and knees to wash floors this pregnancy. Talk about uncomfortable! It’s a good thing I have a willing 11 year old niece who can’t wait to help me out with household chores this summer (nope, not joking). It helps I told her I would pay her.

Lunch – 12:15 PM

Lunch was in two parts – part one was a huge salad that was leftover from Sunday’s family get together. It was chopped with lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, white beans, and tons of avocado. I topped it off with some poppyseed salad dressing.

Part two was Trader Joe’s Crunchy Curls with a side of hummus. Hummus hasn’t been a regular thing for me these past few months, so I was so excited when it stood out to me at the grocery store the other day!

Snack – 2:00 PM

Although this morning was nice and cool, it heated up quite a bit throughout the day. I needed something cold to cool me off, so I ate a frozen fruit bar. It was deeeeellicious.

Dinner – 5:00 PM

Dinner was eaten when I got to class, but I actually drove through Buona Beef for my favorite gluten free flatbread and fries beforehand. It totally hit the spot, even if it was incredibly messy to eat while I was sitting in class.

Snack – 8:45 PM

When I got home, I immediately dug into the best apple I’ve had in quite some time. I haven’t had good luck buying them for the past month or so, so it was nice to have a good one!
