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!
Congratulations Amber!! You are an inspiration to me. You are dedicated to staying healthy and taking care of your family. Hooray for your soon to be family of 4!!!
