Go either very cheap or very expensive.  It's the middle ground that is fashion nowhere.

Diet starts now

The picture didn't turn out very well but this is my lunch today.  I am officially starting to eat healthier.  I've been giving into my cravings way too much recently and I'm worried I'm going to be one of those women who gain fifty kilos during pregnancy and then take forever to lose it again.

Now don't get me wrong; this doesn't in any way mean I'm planning to not eat any chocolate or ice cream or junk food.   Those are definitely necessary to keep me sane and make the baby happy.  I'm just going to try and make sure I'm getting enough serves of fruits and veggies and all the protein and stuff that I need.  then pig out on chocolate as snacks rather than as meals (yes I have been doing that sometimes).

I also really have to start forcing myself to exercise as all my muscles have disappeared and been replaced with flab lately.  It's very scary.

I thought I'd include the recipe for the salad I had for lunch today in case any of you want to try it (it was really filling)

Tuna Salad:

95g tin of tuna w/ tomato and onion (wrapped in paper towel to squeeze off the extra oil)

150g Coles Salad Mix (contains lettuce, carrot and cabbage)

handful of pitted kalamata olives (rinsed and sliced)

handful of grape tomatoes (cut into quarters)

Half a handful of grated cheese (need to put some fat in there)

drizzling of balsamic vinegar

I would have really liked to put some avocado in there as well but I didn't have any.

Feel free to send me recipes guys.  (easy recipes)
