Before After

8 1/2 months!!!

Well here I am at week 34, 8 1/2 months pregnant!  I can't believe I only have five weeks or so left!  I just finished a morning walk, which thankfully, I am still able to do. I am still hitting the gym for upper body work twice per week and walking 3 - 4 times per week. 

I can no longer distinguish what is my fat and what is baby fat so therefore I have no way of knowing how much or little I should be beating myself up.  So....I'm not gonna!  I find the hunger signals and cues extremely confusing and frankly, I have the rest of my life to be on the "watch how many calories I eat" way of life.  I can't even remember the last time I weighed this much, but the good news is I hear the I will lose 20 - 25 lbs. when the baby is born.  So, if the worse case scenario is that I am left with 20 to take off - I can darn sure do it!  If I can lose 80 plus lbs - what's 20 people???

So my ultimate goal for this pregnancy was to be able to keep moving (check) and to be healthy (check) so I have absolutely nothing to complain about!

I will be back on JC as soon as they will let me.  Since I'm not going to breastfeed, I'm hoping I can have my fridge stocked for when I get home from the hospital.    I like to not give myself time to wander into baby love land and neglect my own body and health.  I hear it's really, really easy to do. 

But, overall, I'm very excited about the baby!
