Tummy troubles
Wednesday, May 11, 2011
So I'm not even going to complain. I have an aunt and friend who spent every morning vomiting during the beginning of their pregnancies. Waves of queasiness are nothing. Cramping? It comes in waves. Usually a few slow breaths calm things down. That, and moving my waist band so that it's not putting pressure on my belly! But what's so weird is my eating. I get hungry without warning, and then full less than halfway through. It's so strange. Like just now I sat down with 4 small rectangles of dark chocolate: less than 3.5 grams, and couldn't finish. I caved and bought a McFlurry while at the gas station today only to be "over it" 4 bites in (too bad I decided to finish it).
I've been doing more paleo/ primal research, such a stark contrast from being vegetarian, and am finding it really interesting. I have a pretty ridiculously good diet (McFlurry aside), but I still have some major weaknesses: my organic lightly salted popcorn that I eat in mass, tortilla chips, and way too much rice (Chipotle anyone?). I also need to up the spinach and good grass-fed beef intake. Who wants to come over and prepare a steak salad for me every day!?
I've also been feeling pretty tired earlier in the evening and sleeping solidly. I can't for the life of me figure out how to sleep on my side again. I've become an exclusive back sleeper! I guess I'll have to go for one of those big pillows, but I still think I'll wake up with my arms numb and tingly. I also feel that I've lost all ability to hold my stomach muscles. I already had a little pooch (I've ALWAYS had a little pooch), but now I just can't hold anything. Maybe yoga tomorrow morning will help.
Not really sure where I'm going with all of this, so I'm going to end here.
