The best part of being pregnant is

EATING!!!!

 The best part of my days are Breakfast, Lunch, dinner and Snacks ahahahh! My food aversions have been off and on throughout my whole pregnancy, but this week I've had nooo problem!

This weeks obsession. Dad's chewy cookies. These are delicious! I love milk, but I can only drink milk combined with a sweet snack. It's been that way for me since I was a kid. Do you do the same thing?

The other night I made sure to fill up on lots of greens too.  I made my favorite dish, Thai Coconut Red Curry Shrimp, I added lots of fresh broccoli and Kale! With a side of rice and Avocado. Yum!

Yesterday I went to visit my friend and her little man. He is growing so fast!!! Soo adorable! We walked over to a nearby Wing place.

 

 We ordered wings and fries! I was in heaven! MMM MMM

I think it will be tough getting back on track after baby is born... it's been nice not counting calories while preggo.

Tomorrow I will blog about my 31 week update!

Happy September!

Don't forget to enter in my giveaway!!!!

The baby is kicking so much!

So the last couple weeks I was still feeling only light taps from baby K, nothing too strong... But that all changed yesterday morning at 5am! The baby was kicking hard enough to #1 wake me up at 5am and #2 have the husband feel it too! That was a first! I think Zoe liked it too. ha! Yesterday she came at sat right on my belly and the baby was kicking around. Poor Zoe is in for a surprise when baby K arrives haha!

Tomorrow I'll be 26 weeks and I'm approaching my third trimester. I noticed that my appetite is much more demanding but I also find that the food aversions symptom is back. Some things just taste so weird to me. Nevertheless I still find the foods that I love and gobble them up.

My favorite day time snack ha!

Last nights dinner, spicy chicken, rice and potatoes!

One of the delicious lunches I made this week. I had 2 plates of this! Whole grain pasta :)

Tomorrow I'll blog about my 26 week update and I'll step on the scary scale... hmm or maybe not we'll see ha!

Sushi and babysitting...

 Yesterday I met a good friend for sushi, she is preggo too (read her blog here :)
We ate soo much! We discussed our aches and pains and how we can barely roll out of bed. haha!
Then we went for a short stroll in Toys R us to get nursery ideas, we both are having boys! It was short because we were soo tired from that big meal.

They didn't have cucumber avocado rolls and I must have looked sad about it, so the waiter gave us 2 handrolls of cucumber avocado on the house. MMM there was like a whole avocado in there. mm mm



My friend surprised me with these cute gifts too! Baby K is getting soo many gifts already!! :)

In the evening I went over to visit my mom and sister. My sister made me dinner and we also had some food from my grandmother. Ever had this before?

 It's called Menestra, and it's pretty much mushy bread and a bunch of beans and veggies. Looks weird but it's delish!!

We also had wings and broccoli, Yum broccoli!

My SIL dropped off my niece so we can babysit for a couple hours. Ok there was 3 of us, my mom, my sister and me.... And we made my mom change and feed her cause we were struggling ahhah. She is so squirmy and want to crawl everywhere.  She's strong too!! A glimpse of my future with baby K ahhaa. 

She does have the most adorable personality though and makes us laugh! She's 9 months and she can give kisses, blow kisses, she rocks her baby dolls, she says "HI" and "What" and sounds like she says "Thank You" but we can't tell ahha. The funniest this, is that she'll drop all toys for a cell phone, she took our iphones and puts 2 thumbs on it like shes typing. Crazy!

Love her!

A Sunny Friday

At least there is no snow in today's pic. Now all we need is the trees and flowers to bloom and grass to grow and it would be perfect! But the sun is out and we can already feel the energy it brings!

I have a couple days off work and husband can work from home a couple times a week which is great. Today he is working from home so we went for lunch and coffee together...
ok so I didn't choose a healthy choice but some days a donut can't be so wrong, ha!

I've been working on my spring fashion list and boy is it getting long, I may have too many shoes on my list but there are just so many nice shoes out there.

First on my list are coach sneakers. Love these!
and these are on my list from coach too!...
Now I need to hit the malls!

My SIL just sent me this pic of my goddaughter... the cutest little face! Always smiling and laughing. Just made my day!


Hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!

Shopping, babies,Party and Oscar weekend

I thought I would have had a better grasp on my schedule in the New Year but if you read my blog you can see that... nope... I do not. But it has been a very fun beginning to the new year.

Saturday I spent the day with my sister shopping! I bought a spring jacket ( now we just need the spring!) I bought some tops for layering, a pair of pants and shoes too! Our shopping day left us both exhausted!

(Spring is not in sight! Yesterday we had a little snow storm.)


We also went to visit my bff and her new baby boy! Both mom and baby are doing well :)
Me and baby A...

Look how adorable he is!

My eating has not been great this weekend... I did make a good BF yesterday (whole wheat english muffin, a piece of cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs with a tbsp of coconut oil, with cucumber and tomatoes on the side....


but I cheated... a lot! Especially with these cupcakes for my nieces birthday party. My sister made them and they were to die for!!

My niece had her skating bday party today. And Boy, taking care of energetic kids has me pooped!

Now it's time to relax and watch the Oscars!! What movie are you hoping to win a Oscar? I hope Social Network wins!!

Back on track....

I hope to get back on track this weekend!
This week I was sick with a bad tummy ache :( I don't know what it is but I have a feeling my insides are a little upset with me....
In SF I over drank on Starbucks... There's a starbucks on every corner! I love starbucks, but too many lattes WILL make you feel yucky!
I did not choose the healthiest meals either.

And the night before we left we met some great people at a bar and had a little to much to drink.
Tuesday and Wednesday I was having the worst belly aches. Like fire in my stomach. :( I went for a ultrasound and I'm waiting for the results. I hope it was just a bad tummy ache but I am feeling better in my tummy but still feel ill (tired, headaches and backache too now) I'm also feeling irritable since I'm not eating as much as I usually do ahah! I forced food in anyway even with the pain! (I could never starve myself even with killer tummy pain, I get upset that I can't eat a full meal ha!)

I am drinking lots of water and no coffee for me until I get my results back.

So I hope to revamp my schedule this weekend and get back on track! Time to get healthy inside and out!


Hope you all have a great weekend :)

Back to 2 coffee's!

I was doing soo well in late 2010 with drinking on 1 coffee a day. But the past 2 weeks I've been slowly creeping up to 2 coffees a few days a week. Then yesterday I had 2, and then today I had 2! I need to get back to drinking my tea in the afternoon instead of coffees!

At my bff's baby shower I won this tea mug with a diffuser and some loose tea. I love it!

So I hope tomorrow is a better day. I'll try and get back to 1 coffee a day!

How many coffee's do you have a day???

Reno update:
My dining room will look like this until next week.

It's a little hectic! And our San Francisco trip is coming up soon too!!!! I hope the reno's are over before we leave.

The weather here is cold and icy and snowy! So I'm trying to really figure out what to wear on our trip early Feb since weather in SF will be much better than it is here!

So Glad It's FRIDAY!

I'm sooo glad it's Friday tomorrow! This week has been busy! And the drive to work alone... well it's lonely! I miss my husband sooooo much! I didn't think it would matter not carpooling with each other, but I guess I'm really missing that 40 min chat back and forth from work! And our daily lunch dates. (we use to work 5 mins from each other) Miss him!

So I'm happy it's the weekend!

This weekend I'm hosting a Jewelry show at my house. It will be fun seeing friends and family.

This week so far I was able to get in 3 workouts... BUT my calorie counting pretty much ended on Tuesday... Yesterday I had Pizza for dinner and cake for dessert... and today well... lets just say I ate all the carbs I missed out on at the beginning of the week!

Soooo I'll just leave it at that for now.

Hope you all have a good weekend! :)

Wordless Wednesday

Sigh....
