I’m bit negative today, btw.

I already knew this. But it was nice to remember that I’m not the “obese” preggo that I’ve been telling myself.

Howdy Tumblr world? It’s been…oh 9 months? I didn’t “quit” tumblr I just took a break; because of several things. The biggest reason being that I was/am pregnant and didn’t want to “over-do-it” on the dieting. I initially planned to continue my workout sessions… but then I got put on bed rest for 17 weeks.  Needless to say; I’m at a point in my pregnancy that I can get back on track. I think when I left I’d just hit 189. Today I’m 200. (Not a bad thing; which is something I have to remind myself) I made this promise to myself to never be over 200 again; but this case was necessarily. I struggled to gain weight the entire pregnancy. (Dropped 10 pounds in my first trimester) 

Anyways; I also moved. Moving didn’t “demotivate” me.. it just made things a bit crazy. I was getting back into the groove of living with my husband. (For those who don’t know- he’d been away for several months at Basic Military Training & Airforce Technology School) I also didn’t have (still don’t) a vehicle. Which I hate pointing out because it makes me feel trashy. But it’s not like that; we just haven’t gotten around to getting a second one & I’m a housewife. Not only that but I moved 7.5 hours from home… I didn’t know anyone. & I wasn’t comfortable with myself enough to go to the gym alone without worrying that Chris was going to get harsh comments for being married to the fat girl. If you’ve ever been around a military base; the guys are pretty shallow. They are all about what car you drive, how hot your woman is and where you live. Seeing as my husband drives a beat up Chevy, and we live in an apartment complex comparable to those government housing complexes… I really didn’t want the poor guy to have a strike three. We are just really simple people. We don’t want any more than we need. 

I was obviously ”sent” some serious motivation recently. Like there is aparently some god of “Let’s get Justina skinny” My husband decided to break out of his normal anti social shell & now we have friends. Not just random too-nerdy-for-girlfriend guys either. COUPLES. You don’t understand just how much I’m containing my excitement. Anyways; his new best friends girlfriend is into working out. Not only that but my husband is also willing to start running with them. Meaning there will be mulitiple people pulling me to the gym. (& I love it) 

On the food side; I’ve been so bad. Seriously; oddest cravings EVER. I finally broke down last night when I got the urge to mix Chocolate Frosting & Sour Cream. Tasted awful; but that is the kind of thing that crosses my mind often. I’m not to concerned seeing as I’m going to be breastfeeding. (They say the weight falls off) 

Here is a before:   
 Still a bit pudgy; but def getting out of the “obese girl” look. (I was impregnated 5 days later, hehe) 

Me @ 9 months pregnant. Ready to pop this kid out! 

Anyyyways; It’s time to get back on track! I’m suppose to eat 1500 calories a day. (Okay, so actually I should have 2000, but I have an okay from the midwife) They say the best thing for babies is to eat 5 times a day; so because my sleep schedule has me waking up around 2 pm, and going to bed at 5 am. I’m not going to “label” meals.

So I stopped posting a few weeks ago because I found out I was pregnant. My & the hubby were super excited, but that meant my diet blog was pretty useless. Not that I just went from girl who’d lost 40 pounds to fat cow who eats everything, my midwife just told me that i’d really have to step up on my calorie intake. So I did. I privately recorded all my calorie intake and stopped watching the scale. Well I’m 16 weeks pregnant now, and today I stepped on the scale because I have an appointment tomorrow, and I wanted to make sure that I was at the five pound mark. I was also feeling like a cow and I was worried that I’d gained more like 10. Nope. I’ve managed to loose five pounds since my last appointment. This isn’t really me complaining. Especially since I’m nine pounds away from going from obese to overweight, and since I’m 3 pounds from a 50lbs down marker. But COME ON! I feel like I’m being an unhealthy mother by not gaining the weight. However, my tummy is getting bigger, and I’m bloated enough to fit tightly in certain jeans. But my thighs, and arms have gotten smaller. Anyways, I just thought I’d post an update since I hadn’t in so long.
