a healthy swap… April 5, 2010

Filed under: Uncategorized — lamcakes @ 8:30

I LOVE french fries! I wish that I can say that I only eat them while I am pregnant cause that’s when I only crave them… not true. I crave them ALL the time! But MOSTLY when I am pregnant. I don’t know if this means cause I am having another boy,because I craved them every single day while with Jack. I love McDees fries the most. Then Island’s fries with ranch, and Claim Jumper fries.. etc. I usually get a large fry for Jack and I to ‘share’. Yeah right! I have 10 to his 2! He is a fry monster though…I got me some fries last week from McDees, and I saved him some for when I got home. I took them out and laid them on his little kids table. I run upstairs to talk to Tim. After a couple of minutes I hear whinning then I hear something being ripped.. oh crap! I run downstairs to a very funny scence. J had gone into the trash can, pulled out the McDonalds bag and ripped the whole thing about looking for more… This sounds like someone I know. ME! I eat a large fry then I search the bag for any stragglers. I know Megan and Kaylin are saying, “oh sick! What a piggy!” BUT I would much rather have a large fry to myself than a brownie or cookies or any other dessert. To each his own.

I realized that this was turning into a problem though. I was seriously eating fries 3-4 times a week. Yes, I know sickening..but I am just being honest. And everyone now knows my veiny problem.. which means I DON”T want to gain too much weight this time around. The more weight, the more pressure on my weak circulation. SO! I am stepping up to the plate! Or in this case, stepping AWAY from the plate! *cracking self up*

I vowed last week, NO MORE FRENCH FRIES FOR THE REST OF MY PREGNANCY! “Easy!” You say. Not so much for me. This is like saying, no desserts for 5 months Megan. Or no more coffee or tea for 5 months Kaylin. I am hoping to trick myself too. Cause after the birth, hell no do I wanna stay fat! Baby steps. This is going to be sooo hard! But I am determined! My last fry was last Monday. A whole week ago!

So cause all I want in life right now is something warm and easy to eat and crunchy and very salty.. I am swapping fries for veggie stix. ….yum….

Wish me luck!

    So funny! I made rice krispy treats for the 1st time this weekend, and gave Ian 1, and saved some to send to gav & adam and ATE THE REST ON SATURDAY. AND BROWNIES that I made on Friday. I felt so sick all day.
    WHAT IS THE SEX OF YOUR CHILD WOMAN?

    I really like fries too. But veggie stick sound like the closest trade off. Those are yummy too.

  3. Kaylin Says:

    Haha. I had THREE Venti iced teas today (rocked the refill) AND a hot tea tonight before work (all the while keeping my Tejava in good supply at home).

    You’re a stronger woman than I.
