So I’m finally back after taking a 2-month blogging break!
The reason for the break:
I’m pregnant!!
My due date is July 11th and we will find out on February 10th whether we are having a little boy or a little girl.
The Bad News:
Since I’ve become pregnant I have let all my good eating and exercise habits go out the window. I’m certain I’ve gained more weight than I should (I’m a little scared to step on the scale nowadays) and I’m definitely out of shape. I’ve been eating the way I did before I started losing weight: way too much fast food, junk food, and convenience food and not nearly enough of the good stuff.
So I thought I’d stop by the blog again and review some of the stuff I used to eat in hopes that it would help me get a little more motivated. This unhealthy stuff has gone on long enough. I am receiving WIC and some food stamps so I will be going to the store soon, hopefully tomorrow, to finally stock up on some good healthy stuff again. Not sure if I’ll be taking pics of everything again but hopefully I can start posting on here and being a little more accountable. I’m sure I won’t be nearly as strict as I was before but if I can get at least one or two healthier meals in most days, that will be a big step in the right direction. I have a couple of prenatal workout DVDs that I can start doing and I’m going to try to get back in the habit of drinking more water.
So, that’s what has been going on with me. I’m very excited about this little one and I can’t wait to meet him or her. I’m really hoping to get back to my healthy habits so I can teach this child the right things from the start. I want them to have a healthy relationship with food and not be obese their whole life like I was (and still am). So I guess now is as good a time as any to start. I know it’s not going to be easy after being out of practice for 2.5 months, but I’ll try to do the best I can.
