Yes, I truly do feel like I’m on Kimkins. Not the Kimkinsesque diet I followed, a couple months back, but the actual diet behind the diet that’s caused so much controversy as of late. Apparently the Kimkins diet used a term called SNATT to describe being in “deep ketosis” aka starvation on 300 calories a day. SNATT stands for “Semi Naseous All The Time.” Yes sir, this is how I feel. Kind of like a flu like thing.

Strange thing is, it only seems to hit me between meals. I feel fine when I’m eating something, but like clockwork, within 30-60 minutes of finishing a meal, the blahs and blecks set in. Well, prayerfully this will let up at the end of the first trimester.

In other news my belly is itching like crazy (probably due to the increased blood flow) and I weighed in at 161 this morning. :( That’s up from my lowest weight of 154.5. Granted the gain is most water weight due to switching from low carb to high carb eating, yet and still, it’s maddening! I need to find a good protein supplement FAST as my body is not tolerating meat very well. I just blew 30 bucks on a 2lb container of what WAS my favorite protein powder, Jay Robb Whey Protein. The reason I say was, is because when I made myself a shake it tasted like rust and soap! Granted, I know it has nothing to do with Jay’s protein, which normally tastes great to me, but rather is caused by my wacked out pregnancy taste buds, but still, I barely kept that shake down. :( Hopefully I can find something better, maybe even something where I can try a sampler before I buy it (actually Jay DOES have samplers but I’ve been drinking his shakes for so long I was sure it would taste good.) So my poor hubby won’t have to finish all these protein powders for me LOL!

Well, that’s my preggie rant for the day! More to come soon!

I’m COOOOOOOOLD!

What’s the deal? I never experienced this “Arctic Syndrome” (yes, that’s a made up term) with my previous 2 pregnancies, but for some reason this time around I cannot keep warm! I have perhaps a hot flash or two during the day but for the most part I live in my warm socks and sweater. Could this be a boy sign? Let’s hope so!

My eating is very good so far (You can view my food journal here: http://www.calorieking.com/public/?member=kbragg) and my weight is holding steady at 159.5. Where I gained 5lbs instantly from, I don’t know, but it’s all good I guess lol as long as it doesn’t climb any more until the end of my second trimester.

 I haven’t chosen an OB/GYN yet, but will hopefully next week.

In other news, everything smells and tastes very “extra” lately. My favorite Wish Bone Spritzer STINKS so bad to me now! That really bites! I’m getting better handle on the fatigue, I just have to nap during the day and go to bed an hour earlier. Who knows, that could change again tomorrow.

 Well, that’s all I have for now, stay tuned!

 Blessings,

Kassandra
