November Stats

So I'm not completely sure on the numbers, about half way through the month I forgot to log them into Lilyslim to keep track. But from what my HRM and MFP says these should be close

• Burn 20,000 calories in November ~ Burned around 15,500
• Exercise 2,000 minutes in November ~ Exercised around 1,400
• Get back down to 175~ Ugh....so didn't do that!!

This month I sucked it up as far as my goals where concerned. Saying that I'm also in my first trimester which means no energy and feeling like crap so I have a bit of an excuse for it. So time to move on with it and start a new month with new goals. I've went a bit easier since I know how I've been feeling but these will also push me to stay focus and healthy, plus if i stick to these I've decided I'm going to reward myself with something nice...not sure on what yet lol, I'm thinking about maybe going and getting a massage since my back has been killing me. Anyways here are the goals for December!

• Burn 12,000 calories
• Exercise for 1,000 minutes
• Maintain my weight or even lose weight if possible!

Aww Pregnancy!

I can't believe how much this pregnancy is taking out of me! With my son I didn't get morning sickness until about week 9 and had pretty good energy all the way through. This time not so much! According to the calculators I've used when I found out I was only about 4 weeks along, putting me at 6 weeks now. I've been nauseous for about 3 weeks now, and will be until around 5 or 6 and then it'll ease up and then all I do is eat until I go to bed it seems like! I am so tired too, I haven't workout for over a week:( it makes me sad! I know I just need to and am hoping that tomorrow I'll just get up and do it! I finally had a decent eating day today and if I can just keep on with it I know I'll be ok and won't let the hard work I've put into losing all the weight I put on last time go to waste. I have gained a bit and am even up a pant size...ugh but I think most of that is from bloating and also because I haven't been working out. I just don't wanna gain the 40+ pounds I did with my son. If I could just keep to the 15-25 recommended pounds I would be so happy with myself. I have such a long way to go so right now I'm just thinking one day at a time...or at least trying to. I'm still really early on and not even to the 8 week mark which was when I lost the last one. I'm just hoping everything will be ok. I am going to a new doctor this time and he can't see me until the second of January so I'm hoping everything is on track and will be ok, also that means I'm not 100% sure how far along I am. And we haven't told most our family yet, just because I wanna be further along before we do...we are thinking Christmas will be when we tell them:) Anyways this is kinda a weird post but just whats been going on with me!

Going into Maintenance

So for about the next 9 months I will be in maintenance mode:) I found out last night I am Pregnant! Which explains alot about the tiredness and having no energy and feeling like crap. I am way excited about it though, yeah it would have been nice to hit my goal before this happened but I'll just have to work my hardest to not gain to 40ish pounds I gained during my last pregnancy and be alot more active during this one. I think that way it'll be easier to get back into losing weight after wards alot easier!! I will still update though:) From what I've been told you need an additional 300 calories a day for pregnancy, until about 6 months and then your suppose to add 100 calories every month after that. So for right now I'll only be eating around what I would be if I was trying to maintain. As far as exercise the doctor said I can do anything I was doing before just not alot of heavy lifting. I plan on using my treadmill alot, and on days I have energy doing the low impact versions of my dvds. I did 30 day Shred 2 days ago and I'm still so sore, of course I was going full blast during it but I know now I shouldn't to it like that again for awhile! We haven't announced it to all of our family/friends because we want to wait till I'm alittle further along until we do, but knowing its mostly people from MFP that read this I knew it would be ok to post it here! Just remember if your my friend on facebook...shhhh! I'll be due sometime in the middle of July:) so here's to the next few month of staying healthy while being pregnant and not giving in to all my cravings!!
