fast food

I have always been a pretty healthy person. I still give in to cravings though. And ice cream is a huge weakness for me. But I have never really enjoyed fast food. I just think it's gross. Ever since becoming pregnant though, that is ALL i crave! I drive down the street and start salivating when I see Wendy's or Taco Bell. And I think about pizza and burgers all day long. I gave into my cravings of fast food once and bought Little Caesars pizza. I felt sick ALL day long afterwards! But for some weird reason, I still crave it like there is no tomorrow.



So I have started making those "fast food" meals at home. Tonight we had homemade chili burgers on whole wheat bread. We used EXTRA lean burger meat and 99% fat free turkey chili. A few weeks ago I made little pizzas on english muffins. And on Sunday Danny and I made homemade fajitas. I have been trying to stay healthy but it has proven to be difficult! Anyways to all of you who are struggling with eating and exercise, I promise that you feel better after it is done! I always feel better after working out for just a half hour. And eating junk food just makes me (and you) feel sick afterwards. If any of you have healthy recipes that still are delicious then let me know!

  3. If I have a fast food craving and it just isn't going away Wendy's works bc they have a dollar menu where the food is much smaller or I order from the kids menu. You can get it out of your system and not feel sick afterwards! While pregnant I have been known to go to wendys drive through by myself after Jarem is asleep and he has no idea I left until I tell him what I did the next morning. :) It's so much fun to be pregnant!

  4. ARI! I am having to fight myself SO BAD to follow my own advice. I just ate a cheeseburger and fries because I couldn't bare not to. DAMN!

    But I did do kick boxing and some yoga today -- threw me into some mad contractions though. Encourage ME!!!! I don't want to eat Taco Bell tomorrow, but it sounds sooo good.
