eating for 3...

i had to post about my erratic eating. it is out of control. i am hoping that as i move into the 2nd trimester i can eat more healthfully and more normally, but i thought i would record a bit of what i have consumed.

basically, i can't cook anything that i then want to eat. i am usually the queen of thinking what i want to eat, making it and enjoying it. not so much with these babies ruling my body. i am currently the best thing that ever happened to rochester's economy. now we usually spend around $25 dollars a MONTH on dining out, which means we almost never do it. it is too costly for us and not healthy. however, the last 6 weeks i have eaten out more than i can count.

here are some of the places i have randomly decided i had to eat at NOW:
olive garden (the salad and breadsticks) - i honestly thought about it in the middle of the night (i wake up hungry constantly) and was determined to go there the next day for lunch. thankfully, i have loving friends who joined charlie and me otherwise i would have gone alone :).
papa johns
pizza hut - deep dish (reminds me of my childhood - remember the personal pans you would get after reading a certain amount?)
noodles
jimmy johns
subway (full foot longs)
five guys (i downed 2 burgers, bill only had 1!)
dos amigos

crazy things i do:
i drink chocolate milk by the gallon. (i have now replaced this with carnation instant breakfast to make my mom happy)
i went to the premade counter at our grocery store and asked them to make me a mexican dip/7 dip party platter for me to take home and eat myself!
i bought freshly baked pizza from the grocery store so i could eat it on the way home.

now most of you should know me well enough to know i would NEVER do half of these things. yes i crave mexican once in awhile, but i never buy something to eat when i am 5-10 minutes from home. usually i would just suck it up. definitely not now.

and lately my best find at the target one spot...fluffy stuff! it is just like the cotton candy at a fair. i will now be buying 5 or more every time i go. yum!

thankfully i have a loving husband who has put up with a much different meal schedule than normal. my goal is to make 2 meals a week....now just to decide what those meals should be...ahhh.
