Aversions...

Officially 8 weeks along. Pregnancy was confirmed 2 weeks ago with a projected due date of July 1, 2007. Overall, everything is going well. I have been feeling a bit nauseous in the morning, which is easily alleviated with a piece of toast (either cheese whiz covered or peanut butter and jelly). My other issue is food aversions. It seems that no matter what is in our fridge, nothing is appealing. We made turkey, stuffing, and gravy two weeks ago as a trial-run for Thanksgiving. Now the thought of turkey is enough to make me sick. The same goes for chicken (even my favorite Cajun chicken tortellini), and pretty much anything I have eaten once in the past month. The exception to this is Mexican. Namely—Xtapa, much to Chris’ demise. I could eat there everyday. I love the chips and salsa and the food is tasty too. Chris, however, is rather concerned that I am only 8 weeks along and only restaurant food can satisfy me. I guess he is fearful that our budget may no longer exist. I have given up Diet Coke, well as much as an addict can give up their vice. I limit myself to only 1 per day and in fact, I don’t really crave Diet Coke anymore. What I do find myself wanting is…..WATER!! I never have loved water. Ok, once in a while, when I have been working out, water is great, but not as a constant companion. Odd things are happening. A final big change that I’d like to include today---my boobs!! They are growing by leaps and bounds. I thought they were big before at 36 C, but I am afraid we are rounding up to F’s?!! Is the cup size after DD, F? I am not sure, but I am fearful that that may be where I am headed. My pants and clothes are fitting a bit tighter, but still okay. I was a solid 10 before this whole process began, but 10’s are no longer in the running. Now I am a solid 12, which could pose trouble, since I have only one pair 14 pants. That may mean some shopping is in order. However, I am not excited about this prospect. Instead, it means my biggest fear (a 60 lb. Pregnancy gain) is closer to reality. I’ll keep you posted.

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...
