Hello Old Friend... Its been Awhile...

Well I fell off the blogging wagon. So many things have happen since my last post. I am now 4 months pregnant. Its pretty hard to believe. All this time I was worried about not being able to get pregnant because of my weight and it just happened. Everything happens for a reason.

Its been a struggle because I have to stop thinking about losing weight. That is something that has always been on my mind and something I am always trying to do. The doctor said I just need to stay at my weight. That I am not allowed to gain any. Fine with me lol.  But I still wanna loss a little weight if I can. I would like to be around 350 so I can step on the scale at the doctors office. I hate when I have a different nurse and I have to tell her I cant get on there. Oh get this the doctors office called and left me a message about where am I getting my weight from. Hmmmm I just make it up for the fun of it. WTF So I had to call back and tell another person that I weigh at home and tell them when I come in. Oy!!

I know that when I have the baby I will loss weight right off the bat. So that will be very interesting.

I have been a slacker in my walking lately. Just been so tired. So I am now going to walk home from work 2-3x a week. Try to be as healthy as I can be. Also, get some pool time in too when the weather gets better.

This coming Saturday I have to take the test for gestational diabetes. They are having me so it now than to wait until I am 28 weeks. Its a good thing but a little scary. Not looking forward to drinking that crap but I have to. Maybe all the sugar will get the baby moving like crazy and I will feel it.

I promise to blog more... Gotta keep up with Katie :)

Maybe call the blog... Day in the life of a fat preggie lady lol jk.

I will come back at the end of the week and let you all know how my walking went. So far one day down :)

New Motivation

So I was starting to feel myself falling off the wagon a little. So I nipped it in the bud. I started a 6 week challenge with my online group. It will lead up to our trip to FL in May. I'm so grateful they are all willing to do the challenge with me. I think because I am the one keep track of everything will help me stay on track as well. I am going to make a spa basket for the winner and I am hoping it is going to be me!! haha!!

Gotta keep it fresh and new to keep going sometimes.

Lent

So far so good with not eating candy! Its really hard at work because there is candy everywhere!! In my desk, the bowl in the lobby, in the kitchen and at other peoples desk around the office. I am staying strong and not giving in! Boy am I hungry right now and until is still 1.5hrs away! eeek :)

Walking...

I forgot how much I really enjoy just plain ol walking.

Saturday was a beautiful day outside. Took a nice 2mile walk on the trail behind my house. Then did some laps in the pool when I got back. Sunday was cloudy but I walked 1mile to the farmers market and then played 2 rounds of Frisbee golf. I got a lot of steps in over the weekend! Felt great! I think I wanna keep up just walking for awhile and see how that works for me.

I didn't track my food as well as I would have liked to this weekend but I am on it today!

Tracking...

So far so good this week. I have found the App for Sparkpeople.com very helpful. Everything right @ my finger tips. I find it a lot more user friendly than the Weight Watchers one. Plus its free.

My calorie goal is 1500. Sunday and Monday I went a little more but yesterday I was right on track. It was a good feeling and hopping I can keep it going today. We may be eating over @ a friends house tonight after church but with my app I can figure it out without freaking out like I used to. I feel like I have more control than I used it or its just being more normal to me now.

I did go to the gym on Sunday and walked home on Tuesday. I looked it up online and its a mile from my house to bart. Thats a good walk. I think I may walk home again tomorrow too.

Lent Started Today...

So its that time a year again. I have chosen to give up CANDY for 40 days. I think this was the best thing I could pick. There is soooo much candy in my office and not to mention all the candy in my bottom draw so I can refill the candy in the reception area. I do find myself dipping in there more than I would like to. So a little detox wouldn't hurt for the next 40days.

Blog Make-over...

Well since the whole 100 days things didnt really work. I changed the name of my blog. I am just going to talk about my ups and downs with weight loss. Post good food finds and what not. Just have fun with it. Not let weight loss stress me out and let it happen!! Life is to short to be stressed out. Just gonna have fun and see where it takes me. Hope everyone will keep reading :) Thanks for all of the support!!
