This pregnancy is rocking my world. I am nausous pretty much all day long. My cravings are wild and unpredictable. Meal planning has been really difficult lately because I never know what I can stomach from one day to the next.
Over the weekend, while I waited in the hospital for my nephew to be born, all I wanted was a Panera bagel. I had two. Give me a break. I slept in the hospital waiting room.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Totally worth the wait. Check him out. I am an auntie!

I am seriously married to one of the most understanding and caring men in the world. When I was craving hot cereal, my man immediately headed to the store and bought me three different kinds of Cream of Wheat. Well, when he got home, I put on my health coach hat and looked on the back of the box for the ingredient list and was horrified. Not surprised but I knew I didn’t want to eat it. Check out these ingredients:

Cream of Wheat Cinnabon ingredients: WHEAT FARINA, SUGAR, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, CALCIUM CARBONATE, CINNAMON, SALT, GUAR GUM, DEFATTED WHEAT GERM, DRY MOLASSES, XANTHAN GUM, NON-DAIRY CREAMER (PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, SODIUM CASEINATE), FERRIC PHOSPHATE (SOURCE OF IRON), CARAMEL COLOR.

Brian kinda had a feeling I wouldn’t want to eat it so he bought me a pack of plain as well. I made my own. Eat your heart out Cinnabon.

  1. hahah ah yes the cravings…I am so amused when I hear people talking about them…I can only imagine what I will be like…I get really weird cravings NOW and I’m not pregnant…For instance yesterday, a cold corn on the cob(SO GOOD!) and a piece of sprouted whole grain toasted with dark chocolate natural peanut butter for a pre-workout snack. WHAT IS THAT???
