Quick Tips to eating healthy when Pregnant

Making smart food choices can help you have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!

Don't skip breakfast! If you are feeling sick, start with 100% whole-grain toast. Eat more food later in the morning. 

Eat foods high in fiber! Veggies, fruits, whole grains, and beans. (Green Peas, Broccoli  Raspberries, Pears, Whole-wheat Spaghetti, Oatmeal, Black Beans, Lentils)

Choose healthy snacks! Low-fat Greek yogurt with fruit, or low-fat cottage cheese with fruit, whole wheat crackers and low-fat cheese, fresh veggie platter with peanut butter.

Limit your caffeine! Try having flavored water or just water instead of soda! Drink decaf tea or coffee. 

How often do you have your "treat" ??

So I learned a hard lesson this past week. I restrain myself and my family and we eat so perfect for a good 4 weeks....so I've taught my family that they don't need the willpower I have it for them, but when all my willpower is gone no one is there to help me fight against my cravings. So I fall down...and I fall hard! So after way to much Ice Cream and a few to many s'mores I have come to realize I need to "treat" myself a little more often and not take so much control of how my family eats. If they slip, I can't use all my energy talking them down. Hard lesson, but I'm glad I've learned it! I see the next 4 weeks being much more productive and a lot less stressful! What are you learning on your journey?
