Beating the Cravings

You all should be proud, I improved at yoga this week (no tree poses, ha!) and I did not go eat Five Guys (I attribute that mostly to Amanda who met me after class and made me swear not to tempt her which turns out to be a good influence on me as well).  The class is getting bigger and about 5 people are due any minute so they will drop out and switch to the Mommy and me class, which is apparently the next social step in my yoga journey (who knew that even Yoga has a social ladder).  I am still working on beating the other cravings (french fries, freedom fries, pommes frites, whatever you want to call them) but I figure that its one step at a time.  I console myself by saying that not looking at the scale at the doctor's office is a normal reaction...right?  I used to only want citrus juices but now they are blah, and I am feeling much more into iced tea.  Too bad we are not in Dallas still where you can actually find sweet tea (hello, Chick-fil-a drive through) but DC is just too far north for that except at southern restaurants that the Food Monitor has forbidden.  

In other news, the baby bump is growing and even my friend Danielle who sweetly used to convince me that it was all in my head agrees that it is visible.  And god bless Sarah-Nell, who is lending me some maternity clothes so I can actually breathe again (because buttoning that top button now is like trying to fit a sausage into its casing, not a pretty sight).  (I am also hoping that Paige and Anita can send me some good stuff, as they have impeccable taste as well!)  I am feeling better and figuring out that I may have to eat more meals throughout the day to make this baby happy (I swear it is already like Adrian, demanding food all the time, eating 2 lunches 2 dinners, etc...scary thought), because I am all about making this baby happy......
