Spurt

IMG_9577Blog

I’m in some kind of a funk these past two days. Not mentally, but physically. Despite my Normalcy post on BERF today, yesterday I was sooooo tired and today I felt mildly nauseous all morning! It was also the second time I’ve had coffee (although decaf) this week and that might be the culprit. But maybe it’s just a baby growth spurt…

I was also insanely COLD this morning and had to turn on a space heater and put a blanket in my lap!

Despite feeling icky, I managed to get a lot of writing done this morning. And broke for lunch at 12:30 –

A deconstructed grilled cheese on Matt’s insta-bread with sharp cheddar + grapes

And a repeat salad from yesterday

Greens, avocado, hummus, lavender salt (REMEMBER THAT!?) and olive oil

I’m really looking forward to a walk and my yoga class this afternoon!

    So I feel a little dense asking this but when you put hummus in your salad, how do you eat it? Do you mix it into the lettuce and toppings sorta like a salad dressing (along with the olive oil, of course)? Or do you scoop it with each bite?

    Your deconstructed grilled cheese is totally making me crave a grilled cheese (not to mention that yummy GH bread!)

    Hope you feel better!

      I just scoop some with each bite! I rarely ever mix all my food up into one mosh – from oatmeal to yogurt bowls to salads. I’m a neat eater 🙂

    You may need an extra hour of sleep at night. It’s like growing when you’re a child/teen, when 8 hours isn’t enough. And you may even need a short nap on top of that! Conduct your own sleep experiment 🙂

      This! I have always been a very energetic person, but as soon as I got pregnant I needed 8 hours plus naps… which is an insane amount for me.

    So glad to hear I’m not the only one that eats my way through feeling gross! But speaking of nausea and coffee: a few years ago I started feeling nauseated after drinking coffee and thought it was the caffeine, but no other caffeinated drinks bother me. Just coffee – both caf and decaf. Sadly, I think my coffee drinking days are behind me. *tear*

    It’s been freezing in Charlotte these past two days too. This weather is so crazy. It seems to have warmed up a bit now though (thank goodness!) so hopefully it has up there as well.

    Hope yoga is just the trick to help you feel a little bit more like yourself!

    Did you just toast your bread and then put the cheese on top while it was still warm? Or maybe broiled it? I’ve been loving my broiler lately! I hope you have a good rest of your day!

    Hummus on salad? I’m REALLY liking that idea. I usually use Salsa, but I think this would add a new, tasty salad dressing alternative. I can’t wait to try it and thanks for sharing this post!

    I’m going to have to add lavender to my shopping list this week – I’ve been looking for more interesting flavors to add to my salads. Am stuck in a lime & vanilla rut! it’s served me well, but variety is always good. Thanks 🙂
    Hope you feel better as the day goes by!

    I have been cold, too, but that is because it is so windy and chilly outside. We have our heat on, but I am still a little chilled.

    Thanks for the tip on a cold fried egg sandwich back on your Mom’s B-day weekend. That post had me puzzled and thinking. I even emailed my sister the post and said can you do that!?:) I’m literal! So Ioved the option for today when I realized last night that I needed a portable lunch. I added spinach and avocodo to mine (cheese too). Loved the yellows and greens. Avocado added nice creaminess. I brought a ketchup packet just in case – but it was unneeded! 🙂

    Just curious.. I’ve been meaning to ask for a while..

    How do you put your meals together? Do you rely on a certain balance of food groups? Or just wing it based on what you’re in the mood for/ have available?

    Thanks!

    • KathEats says

      I do aim for a balance of protein, carbs, fruit/veg and fat. But mostly I just kind of piecemeal them together with this in the back of my mind

    Funny you mention that you feel like you’re in a “growth spurt” – I’m 22 weeks pregnant, just a few days ahead of you, and last week I SWORE I went through the same thing. One evening my belly just ached, and I was so tired. I’m still feeling that way this week a bit, and also feeling nauseous (yet super hungry), so I’m guessing the baby’s going through a spurt. I was surprised to see that the “fruit/veggie” the baby is at 22 weeks is a spaghetti squash cause that’s a decent sized veggie!
