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.
