My weight is STILL the same today........
Starting pregnancy weight 187
Weight today 193.4
Grrrrrrrr It is my fault though. It is UP because of cheating! If I was doing GREAT and it went up,that would be a different story but that wasn't what happened! Oh well,it is what I get! Here's hoping that tomorrow it will be down!
I changed my exercise since yesterday! I am getting tired of doing one hour at once. It is starting to bore me and when I start to get bored,I need a change! It is SO important for *ME* that I don't get bored!
It isn't so much the exercise that bothers me either,it is taking the whole HOUR when there is so much to do. I put it off and put it off!
Not to mention that I think short and intense is the way to go! Soooooo
Eat breakfast (Either an E or an S with coconut oil for energy) and then 1 hour later I will choose from my list of workouts. 10-20 min intense workout. I will drink a protein drink right afterwards (doing that now).
Lunch will be the same routine except I probably won't be eating E, but the S with coconut oil.
Then in the evenings I will do some warm-up ,stretching and deep squats.
I just started yesterday but it was SO nice and I really put my ALL into it KNOWING that instead of working out for an hour,I only have 10-20 minutes.
On the days that I do my Baby Bells workout I will skip the lunch workout because Baby Bells is 35 min long.
I am SORE from yesterday so the amount of exercise I did must have been GOOD! :)
Today I did:

Later today I will be doing:
(This one is not very modest and I don't do it in front of the boys.)

FOOD
I don't feel like remembering what I ate yesterday but I did EXCELLENT all day except for the 1/2 cup milk shake that I had when I made them for everyone else last night.
I am going to start writing everything down on PAPER from now on so I can just copy it onto here. I am starting that today! It will make the food journal thing much easier!
I think I will go back to posting TODAY'S food TODAY before it is eaten. Then if something changes,I will update that the next day. I like having a plan for the day so writing everything down ahead of time will help!
Breakfast-Yogurt/pineapple/granola/protein powder. (Protein drink after workout)
Lunch- Tuna/green peppers/cottage cheese (Protein drink after lunch)
Snack-1/2 cup gluc pudding with Redi-Whip
Supper- Cheese quesadilla/large salad with ranch dressing (NOT a ton)
Dessert- Skinny chocolate sprinkled with walnuts and stevia sweetened coffee topped with Redi-Whip
We are having a date night tonight so the chocolate and coffee will be perfect! :)
My family will be having lentils for lunch w/ various toppings and Scott will be having quesadillas and salad with my with the addition of some HM garlic cheese french bread that I am going to make today.
I will probably make him some frosted brownies for dessert.
Well,that's all! I am going to have a GREAT day today!

20 weeks ! Time to crack down!
20 weeks already! I can hardly believe it!
I am very excited........and SCARED too! Scared because I am starting to get into the time in my pregnancy where I GAIN. I have been able to do quite a bit of cheating in these first 20 weeks.Mostly in my morning sickness stage. But now I am getting to the point where I am going to have to be REALLY careful with my cheating or else I KNOW I will gain what I don't want to gain!
Planning
Instead planning the rest of my PREGNANCY out I am just going to plan the month of MAY. One month at a time! :)
1.Start taking my cod liver oil,chlorophyll and herb tea more faithfully! I really want to keep this an everyday thing for the rest of this pregnancy. THE MAIN thing with this is to take the cod liver oil in the AM and make my tea right away so it is READY. The chlorophyll won't be so hard because it is easy to pour in a jar with my water and I LIKE it.
2. WATER-I have been doing good with water but I want to keep it up!
3. EXERCISE- 1 hour a day 5X a week. I tried to do it on weekends because it helps to counter SAT night cheating but it is SUCH a pain in the neck to try to fit in with everything else. Plus,I get burnt out. A weekend break helps me to stay motivated during the week. I want to do about 1/2 strength training and half cardio. The other part of this goal is to get it done in the MORNING whenever possible! Putting off exercise is one thing I am really good at and then it doesn't get done.
4. EATING- I want to not cheat PERIOD except for SAT nights or special occasions. Then,to recover from those times I want to do a whole day of FP's the next day. I eat PLENTY of fat and carbs and I am NOT worried at ALL about some FP's now and then in pregnancy so no scolding please! :):)
So that is it for May..............
I will hopefully be 187 on June 1st! :) Right now my weight is still up but hopefully that will change in the next several days. Today and tomorrow there will be NO cheating but then Fri and Sat there WILL be because it is my birthday and then date night. I am going to do REALLY well during the day though so it hopefully won't do much damage!
I honestly forget what I ate yesterday but it was ALL THM.No cheating. I did not exercise though.
I AM exercising today! It has officially been a WEEK off of exercsie. Time to jump back in!

Quick update!
I just wanted to say that I am STILL here and I have not quit ALREADY!!!!! LOL
My weekend was not good and my weight is still up but I am not discouraged! I have had a great day so far and I am hoping to see a drop tomorrow!
I also had a few random things to say.......
I made choco/coconut pudding and choco/peanut butter pudding. They are both EXCELLENT! They are not AS FPish as the original recipes but still pretty much!
For the coconut I added a scoop of coconut cream and a spoonful of coconut oil to the mix..Oh and a scoop of protein powder!
To the peanut butter I just added a small amount of peanut butter.....
LEMONADE!!!
For a few months now my children have been drinking stevia sweetened lemonade. I haven't really tried it much because sweet drinks are not my thing (until it gets HOT outside!) for the most part. Well,the other day it was hot and it sounded good....Let me tell you that this stuff is WAY better than the LIfe/zero water you can get and it is JUST as good as Fair lemonade! LOL Fair lemonade is my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite! It does not have the delicious sugar crystals that I love but the flavor is JUST as good! It is one of those things that stevia truly does taste just like sugar with!!!! You have to try it! (Lemon juice,water,stevia.....Make it to your own taste.....Don't ask me for a recipe!!!! LOL)
Well,that is all for now. I hope to have a regular update tomorrow!

VERY irritated!
19 weeks pregnant
Pregnancy starting weight- 187
Yesterday's weight -190
Today's weight- 192!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday's food journal
Breakfast- (E)My regular oats but with Lucky Charms instead of oats.
Lunch-Tuna,veggies and cottage cheese (FP)
SNACK- (CHEAT) A bowlful of jello/Cool-Whip/cottage cheese salad
Supper-Out to eat and NOT THM! Deep fried mushrooms,fish,fries...A burger,you get the idea. I even had a ROOT BEER!
Snack- When I got home I had a few drinks of my dh's milkshake and 2 spoonfulls of PB w/ chocolate chips on them.
So yes,I did cheat yesterday but 2 pounds worth!!!!!!!!???????
Not to mention the fact that I was hoping that the 2 lbs jump from the day before would be gone! But not only was it NOT gone,the scales were up two MORE pounds!
I am REALLY hoping that this is not true weight gain. I mean,it really CAN'T be. 4 lbs in 2 days?
I didn't exercise yesterday. I am taking an exercise break until Monday. A PLANNED break,so I don't feel bad.
I didn't get all of my water down yesterday either. So yesterday wasn't really that great of a day.
NOR did I do my body brushing. I am going to just shoot for doing that 3-4 times a week instead of 7.
I am not UNmotivated. The going out to eat last night was planned. That is why I ate a FP lunch. The Jello dessert was NOT planned.
I am making myself some THM puddings today for the weekend and other than date night,I am going to do REALLY great this weekend!

I am impressed with myself :). Three days in a row!
19 weeks pregnant
Pregnancy starting weight 187
Yesterday's weight 188
Today's weight 190 !
Yesterday's food
Breakfast- (E)Small amount of shredded wheat with yogurt/protein powder etc.
Lunch- (S)SMALL quesadilla made with low carb tortilla. A bunch of sauteed veggies (peppers/tomatoes/squash) with a sprinkling of pepperoni and some cheese. 1/3 cup cottage cheese. A few bites of peanut butter with a few pieces of DARK chocolate in it.(60%) THis meal was FANTASTIC.
Supper- Sauteed cabbage with lots of coconut oil/butter,almonds,peanut butter,sesame seed.I had a THM style SMALL amount of a peanut butter/cream cheese mixture that tastes JUST like peanut butter pie, right after supper.
I drank my tea and water.
I did my body brushing routine.
Yesterday's exercise
10 minute arm workout with weights
10 minute ab workout
10 minute whole body workout.
(All youtube videos)
Then I did WATP (Walk away the pounds) for an hour. I jogged for part of the time. About 15 min.
My calves are KILLING me today! My abs and back are also sore from the ab workout.
I have NO idea why my weight is up!!! The only think I can think of is maybe muscle gain? Or water retention from sore muscles? I sure hope that is what it is!

Hello everyone!
It has been another LONG break again! Sorry! Maybe one of these days I will be a consistent blogger!
I REALLY want to do a better job in this second half of my pregnancy. I want to document CLOSELY what I eat as this is like an experiment for me. I can't wait to see how much I can actually control my weight gain by eating right and exercising!
I have FINALLY been doing GREAT again. I have had nearly 2 perfect weeks and really feel like I am on a roll now. Sooooooooo I say this very hesitantly...........I want to start blogging everyday (or most days) what I eat and how much I exercise. I know,I know........None of you believe me and that is understandable!!! LOL I am atleast going to TRY though! :)
Food journal for today!
Breakfast- (S) Salad and cheeseburger pie (Leftover from last night)
Lunch- (E) Strawberry oats (Chia,oats,yogurt,protein powder,vanilla,salt and a FEW nuts)
Supper- (S) Chicken fajita salad
My weight this morning was 188. (It is up one pound from my pre-pregnancy weight of 187 but I don't think it is true gain. We will see what the scales say this week!)
I will be drinking my 2 quarts of water and 1 quart of herb tea.
I will be exercising 1.5 hours. Today will be 30 minutes WATP (fast),30 minutes Billy Blanks and 30 minutes of my Long and Lean pregnancy workout.
