Easy Snack Ideas?
While I'm not worried about my weight or gain (I'm up 24 pounds at 28 weeks) since my doc has yet to say anything, I can't help but see a 2 lb increase every week! Yes, I know I can get off my ass and get on the treadmill or FINALLY get back to my prenatal yoga. But I feel like I'm not eating enough or drinking enough and that's what is hurting me.
I haven't really changed my eating habits at all since getting pg. On workdays, I still eat breakfast (bowl of cereal) right after getting out of the shower (6-ish), snack around 9:30-ish, lunch sometime between 12:30-1:30, maybe an afternoon snack if I think of it, dinner by 7 at the latest. That's it. If I'm still hungry, I'll have a bowl of cereal around 8:30. Also, if I'm at work, I try to drink as many cups of water as I can, but it still ends up only being about 3 (4 at most) of my 14 oz glass. Once I get home, I have a glass of milk with dinner.
I know I need to be eating more often and if I do, it should, obviously, be something healthy. I hate having to deal with prepping snacks. What are easy, healthy snacks that you've found keep you full? I need things I can take to work as well as have at home.
Also, what has helped you keep on track with your eating/drinking? I was so bad yesterday. I had a bowl of cereal around 9, went to church at 12, ran errands until close to 4 and then finally had something else to eat. I was so hungry, but I just didn't feel like getting anything while I was out. I had almonds in my purse but had totally forgotten about them. I don't want to starve myself but I don't want to overeat either. I don't know.
Thoughts? Ideas?

I need to come up with more though because I haven't been eating breakfast or lunch and I am starving by dinner. I found if I eat a few snacks throughout the day that works better for me than meals.
So definitely following this!
