this is going to be hard…
well thanks again for all the congrats! i am so glad to be out of that hiding place. if i can’t be honest here, then i’m really screwed. 
now, i am finding that this is just going to be a little tough. i really want to keep up the healthy eating, the regular exercise, and the losing weight, but i can’t quite do it. i have been doing a little research and i will talk to a doc, but it seem this first trimester all i need to gain is 4 pounds and i did that this last week, so i’m good for another 2 months on that - HA HA.
Seriously, though, I just am having a REALLY hard time eating well. I’ve been up every night this week eating late. My exercise compensation isn’t fool proof as today at the gym I couldn’t jog b/c I got winded and even walking 3 miles was tough. That’s unusual for me I can usually go forever walking. I’m in that tired place and it’s not safe to push it too much. I’m totally not complaining - it’s all good it’s just hard for me to figure out how to keep moving. You see, I was just getting out of the tired place from my own lack of sleep and poor eating. And when I’m tired I always want to eat, so I have quite a challenge in front of me.
Stay healthy, stay strong, stay rested, stay within a nice range of weight gain…I just have to keep trying. Butt kicks always welcome on all of the above!
I think i’ll keep logging the food. it’s embarrassing, but has to be done, husband is back tonight, too, so the night binging WILL STOP!
yesterday:
decaf tea w/ unsweetened soy milk
water (3 cups)
leftover butternut squash + lentil soup (about 1.5 cup)
1 clementine
salad w/ peas, corn, edamame, broccoli, carrots, cukes, and spinach - jalepeno ranch dressing - 2tbsp
couple pieces fruit - strawberry and pineapple
water
decaf chai tea w/ unsweet soy milk
1 serving veggie booty
black bean, cheese, and red pepper quesadilla (2 tortillas) plus my son’t leftovers - another 1/4 ques.
the night eats:
2 cups noodles with olive oil and salt
1 bowl granola w/ soy milk
1 giant bowl of popcorn with spray and all…
lots of water
ugh! that was a big bender last night as i knew hubby was coming back and i wanted to stop it. the last hoorah or something as if there was something to shout hoorah about - eating like that. i want my mindset to switch back to where it was, but when the body doean’t feel well the eating is just incredibly difficult for me to resist.
keep trying, yes? gotta do it!

I think the first thing would be to consult the doc. But it sounds like you are really trying to stay healthy, I know you can do it, hugs, Kama
Sorry about my delayed congratulations! Good for you! I also wanted to stop by and say: Welcome to our challenge! I was going to blog it on here, but Chai beat me to it, lol! Just keep being healthy and get that call into the doctor for your diet plan! You can and WILL do it!
You call that bender, Debbie???? We need to talk in private girl–I will tell you what a real bender is!!!!! LOL!!!! I would be WAY to embarrassed to list it here!!! I am sure the doc will give you some guide lines but you are going to do great and that is going to be one little lucky bambino!!!!!
Aww Debbie! That wasn’t bad, and it’s so hard when you’re in that tired and hormonal phase! You need to take care of you and the baby! Good luck with your weekend, and I hope you do better for yourself so you don’t feel guilty but happy!!! Happy is GOOD! Try your hardest and then you’ll be happy!!
Congratulations, Debbie! I’m so excited for you! I have 3 little guys, myself. It is a wonderful thing. You are going to do great. I found it was easier the 2nd time because you realize you aren’t actually eating for two. Plus, keeping your energy up for your other little one is important. Take care of yourself and get as much rest as you can.
You eat so well. I have picked up with a little more protein just because I have felt like it is good for me, but your diet is generally so healthy and so appealing
LOVE that quesadilla and edamame salad -yum. Today, you inspire me. A veggie diet for me with fish is most good for my spirit.
Happiness and health… and yes always changing and maybe even improving
Thanks.
