Hi everyone! I just thought I'd check in with an update and see how everyone else is doing. I managed to get through quite a bad "binge week" last week...pick myself up, dust off the brownie crumbs, and get back to good, LC food. I revisited my high fat approach from before and I feel great. I'm not sure what it was that caused such bad cravings (I hate to just blame it all on my pregnancy, but I have to give some credence to the hormonal swings) but thankfully I made it through and I'm eating really well. As such I managed to drop some water weight and get back to 181, which is where I wanted to hold until my first trimester ends at least. So far so good and I'm now in Week 12 which means I can see the finish line for Trimester 1!! There is definitely a sense of relief and hopefulness...a point where I feel I can be cautiously optimistic, ya know? I also posted in my journal about other things falling into place...the auction at my Mom's this weekend (finally all that may be coming to a close soon) and us finishing our hardcore busy wedding season of May/June (July is still busy, but much lighter - same throughout the fall into October). So things are looking up and I've even been back to the gym. I did my water aerobics class and some weights and felt great. My goal is to keep up my eating and working out during the second trimester while I still can to get a running start into the much more difficult third trimester. (It's so great to feel like I can think ahead about this stuff now - I didn't dare before.)
It's hotter than heck here, so I'm trying to stay cool and keep today a lighter one (meaning groceries, laundry, album design and some vacuuming). Hope you're all enjoying your summer and staying healthy!
