Wellness Pregnancy? - Day 8

Ha! One of my very best of friends texted today to ask how my wellness pregnancy was going! I think it's kinda catchy and funny. I am nourishing this body (not a baby of course) and being extra careful and disciplined with what I eat! I liked it! I am running into some social outings so far where people ask, why aren't you eating this? or drinking that? Which of course I am happy to share, but I just want a fun, quick, and easy way to say "I'm on a wellness journey" vs. saying I'm on a diet, which certainly doesn't do this treatment justice, or by saying I'm on a medical diet, which worries people! I tried that at dinner with some friends Friday night. I didn't say I was on a medical diet, I just said I was trying out this eastern medicine plan and the wife seemed concerned as if my health was poor and I needed a restricted diet. So maybe just saying a wellness journey will suffice!

Ok ok, on to today! I feel pretty darn great today. I worked and maybe the 90 minute break before my last client helped, but I just really have felt good all day. Still not super hungry but just good! Bathroom luck 2 days in a row! My mouth does get super parched by just drinking plain water, but I noticed if I have a Zevia or sparkling water it helps a lot and I enjoy the bubbles very much!

For breakfast I had 3 fried eggs

Lunch I had probably about 3-4 handfuls of sunfluwer/pumpkin seeds

Dinner I had edamame and a hard boiled egg with salt and pepper

Also it was Tony's first day of dayshift for probably the next 3-5 years so that will be a fun thing to adjust to this week for our family.
