View LYNNABEL's food & exercise for this day

Took my walk this morning, but am feeling very slow physically - kind of drained, maybe. I don't know why, exactly. I haven't been sleepy very well. That could be part of it. I may need more protein. Well, I do. I'm having a hard time getting myself to log regularly. Part of it is that work is so busy and if I eat something that I don't have saved in "my foods" or that I know isn't in the main database, I end up not logging because I assume it'll take too long to figure it out. That's hardly a worthwhile excuse, I realize. But right now, I'm not logging to lose, I'm logging to make sure to I don't gain excessively, so I don't know how disciplined I really need to be. I've nearly cut out dinner totally - not because I don't think its a good idea (!) but because I am never, never hungry for it. I snack lightly on triscuits and juice popsicles. No protein there. I would say if there is one thing I haven't done perfectly during this pregnancy, it is my eating habits. I just plain don't get enough of the healthy stuff - veggies and protein and fruit. Too many simple carbs which I honestly wouldn't mind if they weren't at the expense of the good things. I need to think about this and figure out what I want to do - well, I know what to do, but I need to find a way to make it happen. My iron was a bit low at my last blood draw - not dangerous, but a tad low, which is common for pregnant women.

I need to do my hair but I'll be back if I can.

Am very sleepy.

Layed a bit in bed this morning and felt walnut moving - kicking and rolling. Sometimes I feel what I think is his back up against my belly button. He was sleeping during the ultrasound yesterday - and turned away so we couldn't see his face, but it was so precious to see him still and with his little hand sort of curled up. I want to meet him so much.
