Halfway There!

This pregnancy is going by fast. Probably because I've got two other little kids that keep me busy. :)

Yesterday was my 20-week ultrasound. It's a girl! Yay.

I dreaded getting on the scale yesterday, because I've been watching my scale at home go up up up. But I stepped on and that scale said I weighed the same as last month!! Wahoo! I don't know why the two scales showed different things, but I'm inclined to believe the one that stayed the same. Hey, it's in a doctor's office-- much more high tech, right? :)

So that's the news for this month. 4 1/2 more to go!

July

Might as well post here once a month so I remember it exists!

Another month down, and I'm right at my pre-pregnancy weight. Wahoo.

More exciting, we get to find out baby's gender next week. Yay!

Well...

This isn'tmuch of a weight-loss blog anymore. Oh well! I'll get back to it in another 6 1/2 months! :)

As far as goals go, I haven't put on any weight since being pregnant! I'm actually down two and a half pounds. Yay! I am actually pretty surprised. I was felling really sick there for a while and was nibbling on something or other all day long in hopes that something would ease my stomach. But I guess it wasn't too bad and I've been moving exercising enough! I'm very happy!

Now, to keep this up for the next two trimesters!

I can do it!

My Excuse

So, you may have noticed I haven't blogged in a while. So much for continual motivation, right? Wrong! Things were going great-- I was still motivated, I had found a great walking work out DVD, and the weight was coming off.

Then I took a pregnancy test out of curiosity.

This is what I saw:

That put a big screeching halt in my weight-loss plan!

It's unexpected and not the best timing, but it means a baby, so hey, I'll take it!

So now I'm not doing sparkpeople anymore. I'm doing babyfit, which is a subsidiary of sparkpeople. My new goal is to gain 0 pounds over the next nine months. Not quite the 22 pounds I was hoping to lose by June, but a good goal, nonetheless!

Hmmmm?

What to do now?

It All Sort of Evens Out

We went to New York City yesterday. It was a fiasco and I didn't end up eating very well, but we walked a lot and I think my metabolism has been jump started, so I still weighed less this morning than last time I weighed myself. Thank goodness. If I had gained weight after all that, I probably would have just a hate-hate relationship with NYC, instead of the love-hate I'm at now.

GREAT Walking Start!

I walked two miles today! On accident! :)

We (me and the kiddos in a ginormous double stroller) headed out for a walk this morning, determined to go as far as we could. We explored our immediate area and had a really nice time, despite the cold. I kept telling myself to just go to the end of that street, then the end of that street, just keep going! Then we turned around and came home the way we went so we didn't get lost. :)

Back at home I tracked our route ant it came to 2.08 miles! Yay! I honestly thought that I was so out of shape that 1 mile would be hard. But I did two without even knowing it. What a great surprise!

I think we found our new walking route!
