I gained 2 pounds this week. I’m saying that with excitement. At about 19 weeks pregnant, this is the first week that I’ve gained weight in this pregnancy. I assumed it would be coming soon and 2 pounds seems terribly reasonable. Now, to be fair, I could have gained two pounds from a very delicious weekend of going out for breakfast, having friends over for homemade pizza and delicious desserts and indulging yesterday in a new calzone recipe that dh dreamed up (sooooo good, I’m still drooling). But during the week I definitely stuck to my calorie budget and worked on adding more fruits and vegetables to our diets. So that part went well.
Two things I want to work on this week are drinking more water and exercising. Both I seem to have slacked off on for the past couple weeks, despite my best efforts. I’ve started keeping track of my water consumption along with the rest of my calorie counting and I think I’ve already seen an improvement, but it’s hard to be sure. As for the exercise, well this past week I noticed myself falling off ht wagon, avoiding eye contact with my workout DVD and admittedly stopping the workout short most of the week. I think I was being honest in admitting I was tired, but I might have been a bit easy on myself. Still, I don’t want to risk being hard on myself either in my delicate condition. 😉
I think I’ve got a pretty sure fire solution to my workout woes as well, since this weekend Dan and I bought ourselves a Wii Fit (finally). Already I am in love with this thing. I’ll go into more details on that in a later post after I’ve used it longer, but I’m doing longer workouts, in a more varied range of physical activities and loving it. I also love being able to chart my progress so easily. The funniest part was telling the Fitness Coach “person” that my goal was to lose no weight in the next two weeks and them being like, “Okay super!” even though they’d just told me how obese I was and what a big health concern that is (like I haven’t heard that enough). Whatever. I’m proud. I’m happy. I’m drinking my 3rd glass of water for the day as I type this. 2 pounds, not bad.
How are your diets going? Are you kissing your big fat blog ass goodbye?

The water is sooo important when you’re pregnant. If you dehydrate it will send your body into LABOR no matter at what week you’re at in your pregnancy. So drink lots of it!

Sounds like you are doing AWESOME! And only two lbs right now is amazing. Way to go! It’s funny but as I started to read this I was going to ask you if you’d joined Leslie’s online group (totally forgetting about your wii fit!). Keep up the great work. Yeah!

@ Krystyn : I don’t know that I’d call it “dieting” – I’m eating the recommended calories that my doctor advised and exercising. I know, I’m crazy. But I gained 70 pounds in my last pregnancy and I’m trying to make sure that doesn’t happen again!

Diet? What is a diet? My diet is awful…eat what I want, and then nurse it all away. Bad, isn’t it?
You can’t seriously be dieting while preggo, right? 2 pounds….I might be hating you right now.

I found you via a comment on Jean’s blog. Hi! (waves) I definitely need to kiss my big fat blog ass goodbye. Where do I sign up? I have the feeling you are going to have a love/hate relationship with your Wii Fit, but it sounds like you have a great attitude about the insults. I don’t know that I would be able to take it so well. LOL Good Luck this week. It sounds like you are doing great 🙂

2 pounds is great!
I’ve also fallen off the work out wagon and haven’t done weights or abs in over a week. I told myself I needed to focus on being strong to not have the desire to drink DP. I think I’m in the clear now as far as headaches and such.

The Fit is awesome! I had my dad make a riser for the balance board, too, so my step work outs were a little more cardio… phenomenal. Good luck, congratulations, and have fun!
