So, I'm now 13 weeks along now. I had another doctor's apt. and my first ultra sound, and everything is looking good. However, instead of gaining the reccomended 3-4 pounds, I lost it. Not that I've ever complained about losing weight...I'm just frustrated that I lose when I try to gain, and gain when I try to lose! Anyway, I know it's because I haven't been feeling well, and I'm sure it will catch up to me in no time.
I've really had to slow it down with the exercising lately. I'm just so exhausted lately, and I don't want to push myself too hard where it becomes unhealthy. I am still exercising 6 days a week, but not quite as strenuous as before. For example, I went to the gym this morning, and usually I would do the elipticle for 20-30 minutes, and burn about 13-14 calories a minute, however, today I did it for 25 minutes and barely burned over 10 calories a minute. I know it's still good because at least I'm doing something, but I've been so use to pushing myself to the max this past summer, that it seems like I'm slacking. I'm sure when my 2nd trimester hits, I'll start feeling better, and be able to step it up a notch again. I really want to be in good shape when I have this baby. Anyway, I'm not dumb enough to hurt myself, so don't worry about that. My baby is most important right now, and I just need to stay healthy for the both of us.
What I DO need to work on is EATING!!! Ahhh. It's just so odd right now, because I don't feel like eating ANYTHING, and yet I'm eating ALL the time to keep me from being nausiated. I've been eating a lot of oatmeal, fiber one bars, and toast when I need something quick. I'll try to cut back on the sugar though this week, and really drink more water. We'll see how it goes.
As for the rest of you...WHERE ARE YOU??? (With the exception of Rolyndia, Aunt Kim, and Hannah. You guys are great.) But for the rest of you....your gonna get it if I don't see an update....ASAP!
QUIT SLACKING! NO EXCUSES!
