I am at 171 and I worked really hard last month. My arms are more tone than they have ever been in my life and my legs feel so solid. I thought for a while that after all this time something must be wrong if I am not dropping major pounds right now, but I have discovered that not only am I gaining som really good muscle I am also PREGNANT! Yah. That would explain some stuff. So here's what has been going on. Last time I was pregnant I gained 30 lbs. I was working at a restaurant and I was a lot more apprehensive about working out first trimester. SO! New goals.
I am only going to weigh myself once a week so that I don't stress out
I am going to count my calories so I don't go crazy thinking pregnancy is binge time cuz it's not.
I am going to workout daily for at least 45 minutes and pay attention to my body.
If all goes well I only want to gain 15 lbs this time. That means I only want to be at 185 on delivery day. By the way I don't believe in starving myself with a baby and I will talk to a doctor the whole time about what I can and can't do. But I have already been told about very athletic women having a perfectly safe pregnancy and that has been my point from the beginning. Besides I am already overweight. This baby is going to already have a nice warm fatty place to develope. I am just going to do all I can to make sure that's gone as soon as possible when I meet are second baby!
