Welcome! I will be documenting successes and trials of my journey from pregnancy weight (final TBD as I'm starting this at 38w 2d pregnant) to a post pregnancy goal weight of 140 or size of 8 - which ever comes first. They're both numbers, and I can't quite remember how well they co-relate to each other. My actual pre-pregnancy weight is somewhere between 168 - 172.
Over the years prior to getting pregnant, I had gained about 20 pounds - some from laziness and snacking and some from being pregnant and miscarrying. My body just didn't drop any of the extra weight it had picked up early in the first pregnancies.
My pregnancy weight gain so far according to the Dr. is 36 lbs. In the first trimester I gained 14 pounds!!Today's weight: 208.8. I may still gain more weight before my baby boy comes.
Today's exercise: walking 4 miles with a friend and my 2 dogs.
What I've eaten today:
Breakfast - 1 english muffin with scrambled egg, melted swiss; 1 soy pattie
AM Snack - small cup of green tea and 2 maple leaf cookies. What's tea without cookies?
Lunch - Mixed green salad with cucumbers and chicken, topped with small amount of ranch dressing, followed by a piece of my delicious galette.
PM Snack - big down fall even when not pregnant: 5 pm - handful of tortilla chips, 1 snack size Snickers biteDinner - smoothie with 1 banana, 1 cup blueberries, protein powder, choc milk, flax seed and ice
Running has always been in my life. It started as a training tool when I was 12 for basketball and has continued all through my life. At 43, I haven't run a lot of races. My longest is the Long Beach Half Marathon 2010. I always have a marathon in the back of my mind.
All through my pregnancy I've been running, spinning and swimming. This week I ran 3 miles on Sunday, spin class Monday, ran 2 miles on Tuesday and ran 2.5 miles on Wednesday.
