Since I started this blog I've been trying to be better at being healthy and I made goals here and here. I still can't cook (oh but I did join a freezer meal group that I'll have to tell you about) and I'm on and off on my walk commitment. Eating better is another habit I want to have before I get pregnant. I have a lot of friends who have turned into organic advocates since having kids. I'm not sure I'm with them on everything, I have a lot of research to do (and saving, that stuff is expensive!) but I am starting with small things like Caffeine for example...Research shows that too much caffeine can reduce your ability to absorb iron, which apparently, you need plenty of for pregnancy, and drinking/eating caffeine increase the risk for stillbirth! Eeek! Lucky for me I don't drink coffee or tea anyway so it's the Dr. Peppers and Rockstar energy drinks I'll need to wean myself off of. Apparently, going cold turkey may cause nasty headaches so I'm taking baby steps. I'm also trying to kick carbonation too. I'm not sure what it does beside make me burp a lot, but I've heard it's not that healthy.
Know of any other pre-pregnancy/ pregnancy eating habits I should know about?
PS: In that picture I'm eating a doughnut, a taquito, a hot dog, and some hot coco. Obviously, I NEED your help!
