Looking Fine 2009: 2 Weeks To Go!

January 2009 is only two weeks away. This morning I weighed in at 216 which is 10 pounds less than roughly where I started and about 2 pounds less than last week. Now that I’m all pregnant I’ve been working harder to keep full between meals and eat HEALTHY – this isn’t just for the snacks anymore, I’ve got a baby to take care of. So I’ve bought some yummy granola bars and slightly healthier and more filling lunches (if only because they aren’t peanut butter and jelly which my silly stomach has rejected – I have to eat something!). The real struggle for me came this weekend when we lost internet access and I had no way to log my calories. I was able to keep an estimate written down for the most part, but when we went to my husband’s office party on Saturday I was up some creek without a paddle. I had to use common sense. CRAZY.

But I seem to have made out okay. The Wii workout is getting harder for me to remain enthusiastic about – I’m BONE TIRED which means my energy levels are crashing quickly and frequently. I took a long walk yesterday with dh and MM and it felt so good to move my legs and really exercise in a non-Wii way. They say walking is like one of the best forms of excericse and I wish we did it more. Yesterday was insanely mild compared to previous days, weeks, etc. and I’m hoping to get another walk in before the weather drops again.

So I’ve lost another 2 pounds, I took a great walk and I finally got this DVD in the mail to try also. I think it’s possible I can make it to 210 by January which is I guess acceptable. I don’t want to lose too drastically when I’m pregnant, it doesn’t seem healthy. And at some point I’m going to have to accept that I’ll be gaining some weight, but hopefully it will be a sensible amount this time!

How are your diets going? Anybody else going to be looking fine by 2009?

    no no no. You don’t have to gain weight during pregnancy. I maintained a steady 165 (though I think my scale is stuck at the 160 mark forever). The doctors didn’t think it was out of the ordinary. They made me have an extra ultrasound to make sure the baby was growing, and boy was she. She came out about 7 lbs….plus then all the water/blood/guts…so I lost like 15 lbs…it’s all back now that I’m breastfeeding, but so you know…as long as you’re eating right and getting those healthy calories, there’s no reason you should gain.
