7 Weeks

OK, I have 7 weeks to loose a few more pounds before I go in for my wonderful yearly exam. I have not been for about 4 years and figure I better go in. The last time I went I was about 30 pounds heavier and I know the DR will be happy with the lose, but I was hoping to be to my goal weight before I had to go in. So I am upping my game. I was up at 5am to do my Tae Bo (sp) workout and I did a Firm workout this afternoon when I got home from work. My plan is to continue to 2 a days and on the days I don't work, go walk/run in the mornings and continue with my firm work out because it has the weight lifting workouts.

I have also decided to give up treats and sweets until Easter and than I have to have my chocolate eggs.

Have a great week.

Me at 28 weeks along...

Sorry. Again, Carson took the pictures and most of them my head was cut off. The only halfway decent ones were these. The bottom is pretty crooked. Sorry.

As you can see, I'm getting bigger everyday! I just thought I'd update on how I'm doing and how the pregnancy is going. I had another appointement today, and I am now 28 weeks along. I'm measuring at exactly 28, and I have gained a total of 12 pounds. Like I've said before, I'm shooting at only gaining close to 25 pounds. With 12 weeks left, hopefully this is going to be possible.

I am exercising 6 days a week still (most of the time) but have modified it all quite a bit. I am carrying this baby low, and feel a lot of pressure when I'm on my feet, so I've had to really bef careful. I've cut out all weight lifting that involves my legs, and I pretty much just walk and do the elipticle for any cardio workouts. Here is my weekly routine...

Monday: Walk for about an hour.

Tuesday: Gym- walk for 30 minutes, lift weights (for arms) for 30 minutes.

Wednesday: Walk forabout an hour.

Thursday: Elipticle for 15-20 minutes. Resistance bands for 15 minutes. (this is an easy day.)

Friday: Gym- walk for 30 minutes, life weights for 30 minutes.

Saturday: Just elipticle for 20 minutes.

Sunday: DAY OFF!

I eat all the time, which is normal, but I need to focus better on WHAT I'm eating! I swear, all I crave is SUGAR! This week I'm working on drinking more water and eating more healthy snacks. Wish me luck!
