so you may have noticed that i fell off the map for a while there. well i got laid off in ictober which i may have told you guys already and i have not found a job yet but thats not the reason i dissapeared. I told you guys that i was pregnant but i have since lost my baby. It has taken me a while to even be able to talk about it to people. With all the depression i was feeling came inactivity and weight gain so im up to 195 now. i cant belive im here again. the good news is that i have been going back to the gym 5 days a week for about 6 weeks now. but im not losing weight like i was before because i have been really going forward with serious strength training along with my cardio. i did however just recently increase my cardio to 1 hour 4 days a week so hopefully that balances out the muscle gain anyways i’m back now focused on getting fit, finding a job and making another baby.

well still no morning sickness. i am however exhausted and hungry. i upped my cals to at least 2000 a day because my bmr is around 1600 and you need to add 300 for a baby. I want to work out but i am so tired right now everyone tells me i will feel better in about a month or when i get into my 2nd trimester. until then i just work out (pre natal yoga and walking) whenever i have the energy. i am taking my pre natal vitamines and making sure i eat lots of calcium and protien  

so i started pre natal yoga yesterday and i walked a mile (i was assured that walking was ok) so i figure pre natal yoga is reccomeded for daily use and i can walk 1 to 2 miles a few times a week while i can and this should keep me in decent shape while i’m pregnant. I feel sad that i am still so heavy and pregnant but i know i can control my weight gain. For someone with my BMI it’s a 15 to 20 pound gain. but i plan on working with my doctor on this because my first priority is the health of my baby and myself

I lost a pound last week so woo hoo. The boat show was super crazy. I mean insane. I am so happy it is over. Back to my normal routine and eating patterns… well almost I got some news during boat show. I’m expecting a little one J I think I’m about 5 weeks along. J it’s a total surprise as we were not trying but we are sooooo happy J now my goal is to have a healthy pregnancy to have a healthy baby. I already bought a pre natal yoga DVD and I’m starting it tonight. So I read it’s normal to lose some weight during your fist trimester. But I have started eating a little more cals just to make sure I’m ok. I’ll still be on here though. Need to make sure I don’t lose sight of mine and my babies health.

ok so i am working the annapolis boat show right now and i am crazy busy. with all the walking and running i figured i would lose like 2 pounds. i lost a half a pound. so i am 185 even now. well it’s still a loss. i start the power boat show on thursday so you wont hear from me again until after thats all over. i will keep you updated on my progress though.

well i weighed in at 185.5 pounds on Monday *doing an irish jig of glee* i am 10 pounds from my mini goal. but honestly every time i get into a new set of numbers such as the 170’s i get so happy. so once i hit 179 i’ll be really pumped! i’m just going to continue doing what i’m doing it seems to be working for me. i luv you all and keep the faith.

Ok so it’s Friday everyone you know what that means. I won’t be blogging for 2 days. I do look forward to checking in with my new weight on Monday. I think the scale will be very nice to me this week. I plan on being very very good this weekend I am spending the day Saturday with my friend Monica and her babies so no temptation there her hubby and her are on the same plan I am. Saturday night I will be at a gig for Steve no temptation there either. No food around and I might even burn some calories! Then Sunday is football day. I get to relax at home on my couch in my sweat pants watching my Redskins but guess what I have no junk food in my house at all so no temptation there either. I am looking forward to getting a day to rest on Sunday though it’s been a crazy busy week and I am sore as hell from working out yesterday (biggest loser cardio max ugh). But it was a great work out. All my buddies have great weekends and I know you will do so well. Let’s keep working our ways to thin and healthy!

Just stopping in for my daily blog and update. Well I took a little peek at the scale today and it looks promising. So I am looking forward to weighing in officially on Monday morning. My friend Monica is coming over tonight for our usual Thursday night workout. She will weigh in for the first time since we started almost 3 weeks ago. I think she has lost weight she is doing so well and is very dedicated. Oh also I think I need to start taking calcium supplements since I don’t do dairy on a diet. Does anyone have any suggestions about the best ones? I wanna take care of these bones of mine LOL we are gonna be together for a long time.

first of all let me say i had no clue what size pants i was. as we all know pant sizing is different everywhere  for women. so i go to old navy to get a shirt or 2 and i see jeans on sale so i decide to get a size 12 just knowing they were going to be skin tight for a while. so i take em home and try them on the slide right on (no wiggling) and zip up and they are actually pretty roomy. yesssss a 12 i can deal with that. i was only 2 sizes smaller than this at my lightest so it’s not as bad as i thought. this may have been the turning point for me where i can stop beating myself up for gaining weight back. i will continue my efforts and i look forward to digging in my closet and slipping back into those size 10’s with as much ease as these size 12’s. yay (i feel so much better)

Hello all. I have been doing very well in the food department today. I have the new found glory concert to go to tonight (I’m super excited) I packed my dinner to eat before I go since I won’t be going home first my friends will probably eat like McDonalds or something. I’ll be on my feet all night. Cheering and gettin my groove on LOL. So I will have to consider that my workout for the evening. We are having company for dinner tomorrow so I don’t see myself working out tomorrow either unless they leave pretty early. I’m going to be exhausted tomorrow. My friend Monica is coming over again on Thursday for our workout as planned, so that should be fun. It’s fun working out with her. I have a company picnic on Friday and I don’t plan on eating anything while I am there. I will probably pack my dinner gain like I did today. But I don’t know how long I’m going to stay I want to get a work out in on Friday. Saturday Steve has a gig so I’ll be on my feet all night for that too. And Sunday I think I might actually get a chance to rest although I will most likely work out. Ok so now I have a plan I need to stick to it for the week. Everyone have a fabulous day.
