The whole food aversions thing has been hard for me. Lately my appetite has gone down a lot and when I do eat, I get full quickly....and then I'm hungry again 2 hours later. The cravings so far have been a cheeseburger about once a week, and food that is more bland than flavorful. I am having a hard time wanting to eat my usual spinach and tomato salad. I read a community blog about preggos that have the same issue with their veggies. It just doesnt sound good right now. But they say if that's the case to try and juice your veggies or buy V8 to get some veggie benefits in. So I bought V8 Fusion and a bag full of carrots to juice. I know it's not quite the same but it's helpful.
Last weekend we drove to Sacramento for a few days. The car ride was really hard for me as I was feeling nauseated most of the time and sitting still that long was almost impossible. I tried sleeping a few times but it never quite lasts as long as you want it to. My husband was kind enough to drive the entire way there and back. He's so great! While we were in town we went to the Brooks & Dunn concert. I learned quickly that this was probably not the scene for me in my first trimester. The smell of alcohol and smoke, the lights, the loud music....it was all too overwhelming for me. As much as I enjoyed the concert and the friends with me, I think I will wait till I'm a little less sensitive to do that again.
I have adopted my first preggo cold. I tried to dodge it the best I could but it came on all of a sudden and it was too late. So I have been sleeping a lot and coughing more. I feel bad because I havent been able to muster the energy to workout this week due to this cold. I know my body needs the rest but I feel like it needs the work out more. So as soon as this cold is gone, it's back to walking the dog and working out in my living room. As for now, time to get some rest. Until next time!
