Healthy Eating During Pregnancy

Posted in Great Products, Pregnancy, Great sites at 10:39 am by Cristina

Jennifer and I recently embarked on a new healthy lifestyle kick (instead of drinking milkshakes at lunch).  Her good friend Tracy is a personal trainer, and took us under her wing (and whip) to get us into shape. Along with the death marches workouts, Jennifer turned me on to My Food Diary - an online diary where you can record nutritional info on everything you eat, how much you work out, and track your progress toward your goal.  It’s been awesome, and it’s cheap - $9/month.  Tons of the products you eat have already been added so it’s quick and easy to track everything from fat to calories to protein intake.  It makes me a little anal-retentive (more than usual) but in a good way.  I really recognize how many calories I am eating and I am better able to make the decision about whether it’s worth it or not to eat whatever looks good to me at the moment.

Jennifer found out about My Food Diary through BabyFit, which is a similar product for pregnant moms-to-be.  Check it out!  We both have gotten a lot out of the services.  I wouldn’t say I’ll be wearing a bikini anytime soon, but small steps lead to big changes.
