<\/a><\/p>\nAs I am getting towards the end of the 2nd trimester I’ve been following doctor’s orders and eating 300 more calories a day than I was in the 1st trimester so that means my base is around 1900 calories a day. This was kind of a big change from the low calorie range I was striving for before getting pregnant around 1300-1400 a day as a base because I was trying to lose 10 pounds.<\/p>\n
So here is what I ate in a day:<\/p>\n
Breakfast<\/span><\/h4>\nThis one doesn’t change much and hasn’t changed since getting pregnant except for one thing — I added orange juice because for whatever reason I crave it!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n2 fried eggs with hot sauce, toasted English muffin with cinnamon and sugar (or stevia) on top, glass of orange juice and when I get to work I have 1 cup of coffee with creamer in it. I also had a small glass of Trader Joe’s Kefir.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nCalories: Around 50<\/em><\/p>\nLunch<\/span><\/h4>\nTomato and penne soup with a small green salad with raw peppers and Trader Joe’s Vinaigrette dressing. I also had a slice of smoked Gouda cheese. And 2 pieces of chocolate. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nCalories: Around\u00a0460<\/em><\/p>\nSnack<\/span><\/h4>\nPlain Greek yogurt with some Craisins. Ever since switching to Costco’s plain Greek Yogurt years ago, I cannot eat “regular” yogurt at all OR flavored Greek Yogurt. Sometimes I splurge and get the Chobani Flipz but that is more like having dessert than yogurt. Flavored Greek yogurts are sooo sweet to me now. I just can’t do it.<\/p>\n
It was a slow transition going from the sugary ones to plain. When I first started eating the Costco plain Greek yogurt I put honey or agave in it or ate it with some trail mix or granola mixed in. Now I can eat it without anything in it but I usually want a little something. I like using fresh berries in the summer or dried cranberries in the winter. It gives it just a hint of sweet and a bit of tartness that I like.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nCalories: Around 160<\/em><\/p>\nDinner<\/span><\/h4>\nFor dinner I made this recipe: \u00a0Easy Teriyaki Chicken & Brown Rice<\/a>.\u00a0The recipe was decent and had a nice teriyaki flavor but it wasn’t glazed like I would have liked it.<\/p>\nI had some leftover rice I wanted to use and I read through the comments on the recipe to see what people thought of the recipe. There were some good recommendations and variations. I didn’t have broccoli so I used frozen peas and it was just fine. Any veggies would do. One reviewer recommended adding water chestnuts and that was good, too. I used leftover forbidden rice instead of the brown rice and I had some cottage cheese on the side. EmergenC to dink.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nCalories: Around 530<\/em><\/p>\nDessert<\/span><\/h4>\nHot cocoa with whipped cream and 3 squares of chocolate. I ate dessert while we were watching Fargo (if you aren’t watching that show, you’re missing out!) and kind of forgot about my cocoa after drinking 3\/4 of it. I dumped the rest out when I remembered and it was cold!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nCalories: 225<\/em><\/p>\nTotal Calories for the day:\u00a01930<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nGym<\/span><\/h4>\nWhen I work out I eat back some of the calories I burned. I’m not necessarily trying to create a deficit like I did before when I was trying to lose weight. Instead I just listen to my body and if I’m still hungry, I eat a little bit more.<\/p>\n
Today at the gym I did the elliptical. I had planned on doing something else but had twisted my ankle early in the morning and wanted to take it easy.<\/p>\n
I’ve rolled my ankle\/sprained\/strained it so many times in my life I consider myself an expert at it, sadly. But I honestly haven’t twisted it in years–like 5? I guess this is proof that my ligaments are loosening and I need to be more careful how I step. I don’t think my ankle is bad but I still didn’t want to push it, so the elliptical was all I did (and it was fine).<\/p>\n
