19 Week Update

This poor kiddo is already getting the short end of the stick. I used to be so prompt about keeping pregnancy updates, but life has taken over. 2 kids, activities, 2 school schedules, work, and life has gotten in the way. This is my first real update. I am going to keep it short and sweet this time in hopes I can keep up with updates every few weeks. I finally took my first pregnancy picture this week too! Amazing!
How Far Along: 19 Weeks
Size of baby: 8 ounces
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +9 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Yes. I still wear one pair of pre-pregnancy jeans, but dress pants are definitely maternity. Shirts are mostly maternity. I wear alot of cardigans that are not maternity.
Gender: ??
Movement: A few "butterflies" here and there, but mostly at night.
Symptoms: None. I feel great! My energy has returned for the most part and I've been having some pretty decent hair days. Nothing to complain about.
Sleep: I am a great sleeper. Our kiddos are my biggest interference. When they are flailing in my bed or coughing all night long, I am awake. Otherwise, I can sleep, sleep and sleep some more.
What I miss: Not feeling so large and working out without feeling like I am dying:)
Cravings: Nothing really. I am just happy to not experience any aversions other than the fried donut stand outside of the bx. All that grease, makes me want to gag.
Best Moment This Week: Seeing the crib in the soon to be nursery.
Shopping: I've purchased a few sleepers and outfits. Nothing much. We are waiting until gender confirmation in a couple of weeks to figure out what we need/want. Thankfully, my sister has a little guy and we have girl clothes galore. I think we'll be pretty well off either way.

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 ...

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 ...

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...
