Oh, man! I forgot to take a picture of my juice I just had. But I will tell you, it was delicious! I love the taste of homemade juice. And this is a sweet treat.

1 orange
1 sweet potato
1 carrot
dash of ground ginger
Juice together orange, sweet potato, and carrot. Pour over ice. Add ginger. Stir and enjoy!

I'm Back
I know it's been a while since I have been on here. What a little stinker I've been! There are two reasons why I haven't been posting.
1-I have been having some issues with my leg. I was born with some vascular abnormalities which have been causing me some problems this winter. The cold doesn't seem to agree with my veins! I have been in a lot of pain because of that so I haven't worked out. So I haven't had much to write about.
2-I am having a baby! I have been sick (not throw up sick, just feeling extremely yucky) for the last two months. I haven't wanted to look at food or post about food. And I wasn't ready to announce the exciting news so I didn't want to write about it on the blog.
Well, I am about to enter my second trimester and I am feeling a lot better and ready to get back on here! Most of my postings will probably be focused on exercising during pregnancy and foods that look good to me.
Being pregnant has been wonderful for me. I haven't been obsessed with food or losing weight. I have been able to relax and actually enjoy food without worrying about the consequences to my body. I have actually lost some weight this first trimester, which surprised me. Maybe one reason was that I wasn't thinking about food all the time. And for a while there I wasn't really into sweets that much. But now my appetite is back full force and I am always hungry!!
I am trying to be aware of what I eat, making sure I am eating fruits and vegetables and that I am not just eating crap. I will, however, give into my cravings of sweet things, but I will try to eat in moderation.
Moderation. Isn't that what it all comes down to? Eat in moderation. Exercise in moderation. Watch shows in moderation. All things in moderation. Maybe that should be my goal this year. Moderation.
Speaking of goals, I know at the New Year people usually make goals. I haven't really set any particular goals for myself regarding my body or food or anything like that. I am just trying to keep myself healthy for this precious little baby I am making!
