So in my pre-pregnant state I have been trying to develop more healthy eating habits. Now I have always been pretty good about not eating too much junk. I prefer healthy foods actually. But I have become obsessed with limiting myself once I am pregnant. I figure I will do it now and it won't be such a shock to my system. I stopped buying soda and only have one if I am out somewhere. I am limiting my Chai tea intake to decaf or one/week. I have increased my water and juice drinking. Candy and cookies are also going by the wayside.
Last night I loaded my cart up with pears, oranges, pineapple and strawberries. I wanted to get mangoes but they looked a little sketchy. I also bought veggies and tomatos to snack on. Unlike the rest of the world I don't really love chocolate. Sometimes however I do crave it. Like now. I'm not a saint so I did get stuff to make cookies. Besides Tom loves fresh made cookies so much. I was doing pretty good until I stopped to get his chips.
Bravo to Lay's potato chips for their brilliant marketing scheme. "Tastes of America", "limited time" is all I need to hear. Into my cart jumped the latest offering, "Chicago Steakhouse: Loaded Baked Potato." I'm trying right? It's almost like they know my weakness. I mean once I'm pregnant I'm quitting cold turkey. Yeah, right.
