Similar to with Zaza I’m obsessive about Bread Srsly sourdough & salted butter. It’s important to get this particular fleur de sel with grass fed butter although. I’ve additionally been consuming tons of dried mango, pomegranate seeds & making protein pancakes like each.single.day.
+ one scoop of protein powder
+ 2 eggs
+ little bit of almond milk
+ cinnamon & blueberries if that’s your factor.
Zaza loves them too.
However for months all the pieces tasted like metallic, so I wasn’t consuming a lot. Did this occur to anybody else in being pregnant? I took natural treatments, had NO CITRUS ( BOO, that was so laborious ) & really, taking every day minerals appeared to assist.
For train, I’m nonetheless weight lifting with Brent ( @bodiesbybrentatx – & you’ll be able to take heed to him on the podcast & learn his weblog publish right here ) 3 occasions every week. WHAT A DIFFERENCE from my first being pregnant. Nonetheless doing Pilates, Melissa Wooden exercises & a number of strolling. Like a lot strolling.
Transferring every single day is necessary to me however I’ve observed I’ve to get it completed within the morning. By nighttime I’m fucking completed. My abdomen feels prefer it’s one million kilos & I simply want to put down with my toe stretchers. LOL.
In comparison with my being pregnant with Zaza, I really feel means more healthy. At this level along with her I had gained double the load – most likely all of the Annie’s mac & cheese with lemon & chili flakes and chocolate chip bagels.
Listed here are different issues working properly for me proper now:
