i've done pretty well with this pregnancy, only eating fattening foods occasionally, and always walking at least 45min every night.
but when the ticker struck 32 weeks...it's like every bit of self discipline i've had up to this point, has flown out the window with the pigs...
i bought a jar of potato dip this weekend (cause it looked good), and i popped the seal on it last night... before i knew it half the jar was gone! and what's worse is i only noticed because jared said,
"what kind of dip is that?"
so i showed him... suddenly he gasped and said "have you already eaten that much of it?"..."how many fat calories are in each serving anyway?"...
i was mortified.
"um, it wasn't full...all the way to the top..." i squeaked out. it so was...
then i mumbled something like,
"who appointed you the fat calorie police anyway"...
i screwed the lid back on and marched upstairs to take a bath....
although i didn't want to...i thought of my personal little "fat calorie policeman" while i spiked my hot chocolate with reddi whip (extra creamy) and pumpkin spice this morning...and i thought of him again when i squirted it [reddi-whip] straight into my mouth about a half-dozen times after filling my cup with it.
"oh whale" i thought...
"i've only got eight weeks left of this here pregnancy anyway.... right? i can just burn it off later..."
right.
(poor jared, this makes him look like a big meany doesn't it ;)
ps if you are wondering why i am drinking hot chocolate, it was only 65 degrees this morning and i felt a chill...that is exciting isn't it!

you look amazing. life should be less about counting calories anyway. hot chocolate sounds yummy. it has been raining here all day. i'm loving it.
Ditto. You totally look amazing. After all, what girl doesn't have pregnancy cravings and well...lasps in self discipline...especially 32 weeks pregnant!!! You indulge yourself...you so deserve it. (not to mention you have been a steller walker...45 mins a day!! look at you!!) Eat a squirt of Reddi Whip for me. ;)
lol I totally feel the same way and I'm only 28 weeks pregnant! I haven't heard of potato dip but it sounds wonderful! And there's nothing better than hot cocoa with loads of cream, especially since fall is already starting to show!
*hugs*
oh could you PLEASE pour me a glass of that. would you be surprised to know that i'm sitting here as i type with a steamy cup of mulled cider! I'm trying to rush fall. umm...whale...please you look great. tell Jared next time he's pregnant... he can worry about calories! lol.
Oh, you made me laugh so hard!!! I'm impressed-you look fab and believe me, it is okay to let go a-little! And-yummo to the hot chocolate (now, if only we could have a slight chill in the morning!!)
I know they don't intend to be mean...but if they could just listen to themselves, I think they'd understand the scowls a little more. Or they could try being pregnant, that'd work too.
ps-the hot chocolate looks sooo yummy!
Oh Miss Coty...I saw this acorn wreath and thought of you. Your huge, fabulous rasta-acorns would make a fabulous wreath!

Jared isn't a bad guy, but tell him he needs to be pregnant just one time and he will totally understand those terrible cravings we pregnant women tend to get. I still can't believe that you are getting so close to being due!
