7 months preg, and I want accountability to eat better
Well , It's been forever since I have been on here. We are expecting again. it was a surprise. It's number 7 for us. We are excited. I am due April 27th.
I have gained so much weight. It was almost like my body said Whoo Hoo I am not on WW anymore and I gained over 30lbs so far. I feel miserable about myself.
I would like to spend these last 3 months taking care of my body/baby health. I am not looking to lose weight, just get healthy again. Start walking again. I don't want to go into labor being so physically out of shape. I know I only have 3 months to go, but I am thinking why wait until after little muffin is born to work on things.
I got out my WW journal to write down what I am eating. I need accountability. that I feel is why doing the weigh in's were so good for me because I went there and I was not doing it on my own.
I am feeling well other then my weight gain. My clothes are slim to none because I got rid of all my FAT clothes when I lost the weight I did. RIght now I am looking at being where I started. That is hard to see the numbers.
I am not sure if anyone else out there is expecting and in their 3rd Trimester like me.
Today I have my 3 year olds birthday party to plan and a sick Caleb here too (my 18 month old)
We are trying to sell both of our properties right now to move into something with a smaller payment.
There is a lot of stress going on in my life and I need to do something for me to make me feel better. Yesterday I painted my toes. LOL
My baby boy who is 10 months ended up in the ICU on Thursday AM from having difficulty breathing. Well actually he nearly stopped breathing to be more accurate. I rushed him there. He was there for 2 days, I stayed there with him. He needed oxygen and breathing treatments for 24 hours straight. Then we could do it as needed every 2 hours.
we came home friday night. He only needed 1 treatment yesterday and I have had to do 1 more today. He is getting better. I still worry and watch out for him so much.
I am doing okay on my eating. DId well in the hospital oddly enough. I lost some weight. But now that I am home and dealing with emotions and things its getting harder to not hunt for a cookie or something to the like.
My mom flew here from California when she found out about Caleb. I am so blessed to have her here. She has been helping me so much.
Well after a long night and morning in the ER. We have found out a couple things. I am not as far along as we thought. took 1 week off of what we thought. And the bleeding well after it getting very bad last night, found out that there is indeed blood around the baby sac. Doctor seems going either way with the outcome. Not sure if that is trying to be nice for me or not. I am optimistic about it. This baby is a blessing for how ever long I get to have it. I feel that way about all my children. I just hate being in limbo.
I am doing a little better with my eating. I can't exercise right now. Doctor said that I can't even lift more then 5 lbs. I told him that wasn't possible because I have a 17 lb baby that is 9 months. I have to lift him. I will do my best to take it very easy and such.
Troy my hubby is picking up our new bassinet for the baby right now from the CIty. He says it's beautiful. I can't wait to see it.
Well I have to go and be a mommy right now. I would love to know how you are all doing. Miss hearing from you. how your progress is.
well it's not been the best 2 weeks. The pregnancy I am not sure is going well or not. I've been spotting for the past 1.5 weeks. I have never done that before and as most you know this is baby #7. I know each one is different. I get that. It's just un nerving everyday to deal with it and wonder.
Some times I am doing well with my eating. other times I just want some ice cream and pizza. I have not gained since finding out and not attending WW. I am happy about that. I am trying to make better choices. I am not exercising right now because I have found that it's making the spotting worse. I just feel stuck right now. Trying to keep my spirits up about it.
Our duplex is done. just needs some things taken out and light swith covers replaced. No bid deal. 1 hour and it's done. I am so releaved.
well tonight is my last weigh in. I have been informed that I can't attend meetings anymore since we are expecting. I am very sad about that. I didn't want to "lose" weight while pregnant but I wanted to have the support to eat healthy and be around those I have built a friendship with for the past 6 months. So sheding some tears and picking myself up from the shock of it all. I am going to move forward and I will post here I am sure every now and again. But I will not be able to weigh in.
i have enjoyed getting to know you all and appreciate your sweet comments and support. keep reaching for the moon because even if you miss you'll land among the STARS!
Troy and I found out Friday that we indeed are expecting again. Baby #7!!!
We are so excited. I just can't stop smiling about it. We feel so blessed.
Now I told Troy last night, I wished I could have lost at least another 20 lbs before this, but you know God's in control of this situation and I guess we were supposed to have a Christmas baby.
I am going to take the tools I have learned so far from WW and apply them during the pregnancy. I don't want to gain a bunch. I am planning to exercise for the first time during any pregnancy. I know, I am bad. Better late then never right?
Well that is my news for the week. Oh, and weigh in last week I lost 1.4 lbs. I have not up dated my chart here in awhile but I think now I weigh 201.6 Almost there. it would be nice to see the WW scale drop below 200 before the gain happens.
It's been weeks since I have posted. Been having little gains. Getting closer to the 199 mark I guess is making it hard emotionally.
I up loaded some new pictures of me now. I am glad that I had Troy take some. I wanted to send them to my mom but want to surprise her when I visit in June.
Kids are finally healthy. It's been a several month battle.
well I have weigh in tonight. I am not too hopeful. I will get below the 200 mark I just have to recommit to my goals and why I am doing this.
This past week we saw a 2.2 loss! Yipee. It's been an odd week. anyhow I am not complaining about the loss at all. Celebrating.
My scale this morning said 201.5 I am so close to the BIG goal. I can see it now. That will be 61 lbs lost since baby and 35 lost since on WW. WHOO HOO!
I need to step it up and focus on building tone and lean body. No flab here wanted. LOL
Have a great week. Lots going on with Duplex on one side now rented and have to get other side done. Know how to stain kitchen cabinets? Not me, but willing to learn!
