Eating for "two"

Technically you only need around 300 extra calories a day to sustain your healthiness throughout pregnancy. I don't really count calories but I'm pretty aware of what I put into my body. 

Can I just tell you how hungry I get? I mean, let me just walk you through my day thus far today.....

- wake up at 6:15am
- make a cup of decaf (I only drink about half so just calm down) 
- make two slices of raisin cinnamon bread (I usually have a smart one breakfast sandwich but I'm gettin sick of those) 
- get ready for the day, leave and get to work at 8am
- 8:30am starving again.....eat a snack. Today I had a fruit roll up, a banana and pita chips. Oh and I indulged in some delicious dark chocolate covered acai berries (u can get them at Costco they are to die for) 
- 10am starving again....eat another snack. Had some pork jerky. 
- 12pm starving again. Co-worker went to Taco Bell I had a double decker. 
- 1pm go to lunch....finish off my pita chips. 

It's now 1:14pm and I'm starving again. Keep in mind I don't say "starving" lightly, when I say "starving" I mean it in the literal sense of the word. 

I've got some trail mix and a fiber one bar to get me through the rest of my work day. After wich I will go home and make a delicious salad for me and the hubs just in time for me to hit the sack around 9pm and be STARVING.

No joke, I have literally woken up on more than one occasion at 2am STARVING and had to get out of bed to eat. LOL wth is this?! 

I'm really going to need to prepare better for the day, need to think up some healthy snack/lunch ideas that are substantial enough to fill me up and keep me going throughout the day without over eating junk! 

Ugh, I'll let you know what I can muster. 

EATING RIGHT, STAYING HEALTHY AND MAINTAINING MY EXERCISE IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME THEOUGHOUT PREGNANCY. So far, I've done a horrible job. Let's see how I can flip this around!
