I’ve been trying to be mindful of my food groups for this pregnancy, using the USDA pyramid for moms to gauge and my nutritional needs. Overall, it’s been going pretty well, getting my DHA, veggies and whatnot. However, this last week has been all out of whack:
Thursday: The Great Salt Lick Fiasco of 2009
Friday: Veggie Madness, featuring roasted Brussels sprouts
Sunday: Sugarpalooza, sponsored by marshmallow crisp rice bars
Monday: No Carb Left Behind Tour 2009, with a salt lick chaser
Tuesday: Brought to you by the letters M. . .&M (peanut)
I read somewhere that when studied, toddlers get their overall food needs over the course of a few days, so if they miss out on a given food group in one day, they’ll make up for it later. This is what I tell myself when I have thoughts like, well, if the Dead Sea runs out, they can always drain my pregnant body, which is now carrying enough sodium to float an elephant in spring water.
