Follow Your Cravings

this !

I missed my weekend recap and feel like I have so many photos to share! First off, the above and below are the same breakfast, same dog, two different mornings. Both were strawberry banana yogurt bowls with granola and almond butter.

Thank GOODNESS salads sound good to me again! In fact, I’ve been craving them like I’ve been on an indulgent vacation for 8 weeks. Part of that is the warmer weather, but I’m coming out of two months’ worth of food aversions, and it feels so good to have healthy food as one of my cravings again.

This salad was brown rice, massaged kale, red pepper, blue cheese and avocado.

I had a lunch date on Monday with my friend Emily and got a delicious prosciutto, fig spread, and mozzarella panini with a side salad. Ate every last bite! (PS. I have to look up how to spell prosciutto every durn time I write it. I can’t seem to remember if it’s a C or an S and can’t seem to remember that it’s BOTH!)

Of course, Mazey and I have been satisfying our cravings too. Kohr Brothers cones on a warm day!

I’ve been getting that second trimester energy and found myself eager to go to Afterburn on Saturday. Chris was teaching at 9, and he rarely teaches AB when the sun is up, so I had to go. The class was amazing except for the fact that I couldn’t walk for two days after because my calves were so sore from all the vertical jumping! During the first trimester I felt so fragile and did not want to do much bouncing around, but I am craving it now.

My favorite pre-workout snack:

Thomas was craving a cake and baked us one over the weekend! We’ve been chipping away at it ever since. It was a mix I had on hand plus a homemade buttercream. YUM!

We’ve had hot dogs for dinner a few times lately. I buy the organic Applegate ones and enjoy them on whole wheat buns. Mazen claps when dinner is served these nights!

It’s so hard to tell what cravings are due to my change in hormones and which are due to the warmer spring weather. Burgers on the grill with green beans:

Spotted at Target!! I haven’t done any baby shopping yet out of superstition, but I do need a random assortment of new things since it’s been so long since I had a newborn. Mazen still loves his swaddle blankies, so I think the new baby will need his own set. How cute are these!?

Bought at Target while on a trip with my mother in law! Note how the back of the panel goes down and cross-crosses in the back. This must be the new trend in maternity wear. It definitely makes a difference in how well they stay up, and it’s much more comfortable to just have the panel in the front. I am still able to wear my high-rise Athleta 7/8 tights too.

Eileen also bought me these cute green jeans, two pairs of shorts, and several tops at Motherhood Maternity. I feel like my maternity wardrobe is all set now! I did a full Stitch Fix Maternity unboxing on Instagram Stories. I saved it in my profile for a bit if you missed it!

And lastly, we had fun at the Dogwood Festival over the weekend. Mazen had a blast on the rides!

    Following your cravings is the healthiest diet you can have! I definitely feel unwell after too many unhealthy food, and I find that I’m always grateful to get back to my scheduled healthy meals after an indulgent weekend! Our body really does know best! 🙂

    Prosciutto and blue cheese!! Yes!!! I am 23 weeks, and have avoided those things. But now that I see you eating it – I am giving myself full permission:)

      I asked them to steam the prosciutto first (and it was a hot sandwich) – you can eat cold cuts if you steam them! And almost all of the cheeses in the USA are pasteurized. Pasteurized cheeses are no problem. It’s only raw cheeses you need to be cautious of.

        Hi Kath, Congratulations to you and Thomas. How exciting! Can you please check about the cheese. Even when a product is pasteurised some bacteria survive the process. I also think that avoiding soft cheese is recommended due to it being a great environment for the Listeria to grow in if it was present in the manufacturing or storage of the cheese. Sometimes it just pays to be cautious ?

      Also – never do anything without researching and asking your doctor just because you see someone doing it online 😉

        I agree with the cheese – I have a friend who didn’t eat any cheese while pregnant. Its the US mostly everything is pasteurized. Blue cheese is the one cheese I feel is a little sketchy haha

          I ate pasteurized soft cheeses with both my pregnancies and all is well- I think you run the risk with any food these days to be honest! i.e. The recall for hummus because it had listeria!

    To this day some of my pregnancy aversions have stuck with me, especially Chinese food, and I used to LOVE it. The only real craving I had all three of my pregnancies was ice water. I had to have a full glass (had to be a glass) of ice water at all times.

      I had a bowl of lentils heavily spiced with garam masala when I was pregnant with Mazen that I still can’t think about. Lentils have been kind of iffy ever since. They always taste great but the thought of them makes me nervous!

    Your breakfast bowls look so perfect! I love yogurt bowls. Love all of your maternity clothes! Those pants look like would be a lot more comfortable than just with the maternity band straight around your waist. Mmmm hot dogs. Those look tasty. Hope you have a great day!

    Being pregnant with #2 was fun! Reminiscing about the first time while enjoying the subtle differences in my physical and emotional self. Enjoy this special time!

    I love it when a work-out leaves me sore for two days!

    With spring finally arriving in our area salads have been making more of an occurrence in our meals too. It’s funny how we tend to eat in accordance with the seasons – light in the summer, heavy in the winter!

    Your burger looks good! I think we will dust off our BBQ and grill dinner this weekend. Three cheers for spring arriving!!!

    I was just pregnant last summer and definitely didn’t see any maternity leggings or pants like that. They look so comfortable! Good find!

    Hey Kath, I went over to Instagram so I could follow you and check out the ‘story’ with the Stitch Fix unboxing that you mentioned in this post, and all I see is a story with Sarah and the dog in a car? I clicked the arrow but it just took me to the main profile again. I checked a couple of other IG profiles and I am not having this issue. Did you already take it down?

    Thanks!

      If you click on my profile you’ll see four semi-permanent stories. And click on the one with a shirt as the logo and the pregnant lady emoji 🙂

    It’s so funny, I remember Mazen had the bee Aden and Anais wrap, and I loved it so much that that’s what I got for my now 3 year old when he was a new born. I love the fruit ones!

    I craved sweets (and pizza) throughout my pregnancy! The one aversion I had (of something I normally loved) was oatmeal in the last trimester – so crazy!
