75 Medium Week 7 Recap

This week has been the hardest so far. Mostly because my son got sick with a stomach bug that didn’t quite get me sick as well, but has left me feeling fatigued. You’ll see in the last two daily recaps that I took a couple days off of workouts because I really just needed to lay down and had absolutely no energy in me to exercise. I know I literally said in last weeks recap that I was stubborn and was still going to show up– but OOF not this week.

I also am finding myself in a bit of a rut with meals. It probably has to do a lot with the fact that I’m not feeling good, and cooking a healthy meal generally requires more effort, so I hope to find some yummy and healthy looking recipes on Pinterest and TikTok to hopefully inspire myself!

Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every recipe while pregnant 🙂‍↕️

Without toppings, this clocks in at about 7 grams fiber, 12 grams protein, and 16 grams carbs, so it was a perfect bedtime snack for me when I had gestational diabetes!

3-INGREDIENT CHIA SEED PUDDING
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup Fairlife chocolate milk
(optional) 2 tablespoons low-carb vanilla Greek yogurt (such as Two Good)

1. Mix the chia seeds and milk together well— cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Remove from fridge and stir well, taking care to break up any clumps
3. Stir in yogurt and, if desired, top with whatever toppings you want (I love fresh raspberries and chocolate chips, granola, mashed cherries, etc) #fibermax #carbconscious #highproteinlowcarb #hyperfixation #pregnancy
