My Cravings Led Me To This

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great Monday.
I thought you all might enjoy some photos of my latest healthy craving. Remember me talking about wanting to eat some figs? Now, Ive eaten dried figs and fig bars, but Ive never ever eaten a fig before it was dried.

You know...like in its natural fruit form?

Heck, Ive never even seen one before I became introduced to these black figs. But curiosity got the best of me and I bought some (for way to much money).

So, they dont look like the most appealing fruit out there.

But the store clerk shared tales with me about how wonderfully, sweet they taste.

This lone fig weighed in at half an ounce, which according to my google research makes this fig worth about 15 calories.
But, really, the question youve all been asking yourselves?
What the heck does it look like inside?

It looks way different than dried figs look.
My husband was totally grossed out.
My 15-year-old daughter ate it and didnt seem to mind.
My eight-year-old son took one bite and gave it back.
Me?
It wasnt too bad when you took your first few bites, definitely sweet, but it did have a strange after taste. I think it might have been the outer layer that made the after taste odd.
But it wasnt an after taste that completely turned me off.

So, my verdict?

Well, it was expensive enough that the taste wasnt worth the price.
Ill probably end up getting dried figs next time because thats the taste I think of when I think of eating a fig.

Other than that, I continue to get tired out when walking around places like I did today at a local park. Then I have to sit. I know its because of it being the last stages of pregnancy. However, I feel very happy with how Im looking and feeling. I appreciated all your kind comments yesterday about how Im looking. I know Im definitely feeling way better than I have in all of my other pregnancies at this point in the pregnancy.
Im still counting calories...seven weeks completed...three more to go.
I plan on getting to the gym tomorrow night.
I also see a midwife Tuesday morning.

Hope you all have a good one!

Sincerely,
Sunshine Mama
