Being 22 weeks pregnant I’ve decided to keep a diary of my weight during my pregnancy and the journey to lose the weight after. I’ll post some pics soon and keep posting as I go. Hopefully this roller coaster won’t be as big as my first with M where I gained 80lbs!!!! I shudder just thinking about it.
So far I’ve gained 14 lbs and I’d like to keep the whole thing below 30 if possible. What I’m really hoping is that my sweet tooth will just disappear and I will be repulsed by the sight and smell of chocolate. For some reason no matter how healthy I try to eat somehow an ice cream sandwich or a chocolate wafer still finds it’s way across my lips with the ultimate destination being my hips and thighs.
Part of it is that I’m pregnant but part of it is that I am allowing myself to be a little indulgent since this type of thing happens what two, maybe three times in your life? Might as well enjoy it.
Although this time I am being more proactive, I’ve already purchased a gym membership for after I deliver and am ready to go back to the gym. The gym is exactly one minute walk from my front door and is open from 6am until 11pm so there is no reason why I can’t get to the gym for at least an hour 3 times a week. I’m hoping for more but I don’t want to push it and then not go.
So the weight documentary begins (pics coming soon) and so does the transition of clothes becoming too small, walking becoming slower, sleep is more uncomfortable but of course all these things are small burdens for the end result.
Update: Here are some pics at 22 weeks weighing approx 160lbs. I will have another update next week when I see the doctor.
