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 ...

Let's just title this one: Stupidity

Look beyond my gorgeous thighs and focus your eyes on the gash. I bet your thinking our children were in danger and I had to unleash my ferocious kung fu kick on them, only to be greeted by a knife to my leg. Ahhh, I wish it were like that--well, not exactly like that, but at least the high intensity kung fu stuff. Pretty cool. Nope. Instead, I had the brilliant idea to put paper on Mya's windows (evidently Korean's like sunlight pouring into their bedrooms at sunrise). Up I went, onto her bed, completing the left window, but couldn't quite reach the right side. Yep. I decided that cheapo particle board bookshelf would be enough support for just a quick lean. Not quite. Bang went the top of the bookshelf, down I went, hitting the easel , dresser and wall. Safely on the ground, I did all that I could to not wail with pain or sob. It was nearly 9:00 on Friday night when this all went down and Chris was still at work, so only the girls took in the spectacle. I was nervous th...
