I AM BACK!!!!!  I had a baby...my 3rd girl, Sophie- *awh*, 9 months ago.  I did pretty good with the weight loss despite eatting ALOT!  I gained 35 pounds and was back to 140lbs in 3 months!!!  Without diet or exercise!!  I've been at 140 for months and months...I guess I just thought the rest would slip off as most went real fast.  Alas, I have 6 weeks until my 3rd yr wed. anniversary and an "all-out" friends wedding that I would like to at least look a '9' for ;) haha.  10 more pounds is what I'd like to lose BUT I'd be happy for a nicely flattened tummy!

I'm having problems logging cals, but eatting good and exercising.

Hello! HELLO!  It's been forever.  I'm now half way through my pregnancy(20weeks).. I'm feeling fantastic. Totally loving being pregnant. So psyched for summer!  I was skipping out on the gym through the first trimester cause I was so tired and sick.  I've now just got back into it.  I just do 1/2 to 1 hour of cardio.  I've only gained 10 pounds so far which is amazing concidering my last 2 pregnancies!  I think summertime is a good way to get out in the fresh air and get exercise, it's alot easier to sit inside when the weathers not so nice.  I think the nice weather has really helped out!  I'll be checking in here a little more often now.  I've been BIGTIME giving into my cravings and eatting so much food.  I just need to know I'm making more healthy choices.  Anyways I included a belly picture!!  Me at 5 months.  Oh and if you have any guesses on what I'm having, BOY OR GIRL!  Lemme know.  Have a good day ya'll!

I'm 12 weeks now and strange thing is that fat is going to my sides and back.  Not to the front where the baby is supposed to be growing.  Hmmmm.  Both of my girls popped out in my tummy, there was really no weight gain anywhere else.  I'm not liking the love handles and back flab.  I still fit into my regular jeans exept I'm starting to get that little bit that hangs over.  I've still been going to the gym Mon-Fri but I'm so pooped out!  I've been walking on the treadmill more often at an incline, I think If I stayed on the elliptical I may die.  I'm also hungry all the time, I'm still counting calories.  I eat around 2000 calories a day BUT it makes me feel so guilty.  I was eatting much lower then that prior to pregnancy and it's hard for me to escape that mindset.  It's quite depressing I feel like I should be eatting less and I feel mad at myself because I feel like I'm just letting myself get fat.

I'm starting to show already!!  I'm almost 3 months and I have had 2 kids already so it's understandable.  Good news tho, I still haven't gained anything so I don't mind the expanding belly so much.  I went swimming today, my working out buddy Shallyn and I decided that we would throw swimming into our workout routine.  It was so nice, we did 45 minutes.  So relaxing, but, I'm so pooped now. 
~We've been trying to plan our trip to Hawaii, well the things we will do once we get there.  So far we are going on the Starlet Dinner Cruise, Snorkling at Hanumana Bay, and going to Sealife park to swim with the dolphins, liternally.  If anyone else has been and has any suggestions or tips I'd like to hear about them. So with Hawaii creeping up on me I had to resort to buying a maternity bathing-suit.  I spent all day searching online and I found the perfect one @ Mimi Maternity.  Hopefully it gets here soon.

It's going to look so cute.

Oh I was so sick, damn prenatal vitamins.  I'm now 10 weeks and I'm starting to feel a bit better this week.  I have been eatting so much fruit, it's been my comfort food.  I'm probably eatting less then I was while logging my calories, BUT I'm not dieting.  I just have a wierd appetite.  I haven't gained anything as of yet which is good, after all the baby is only the size of a peanut.
  4 more weeks until Hawaii, I'm starting tanning this week (yes it's safe, I've asked all the questions.) Anyways, I'm finding it hard to let go of calorie-count while I'm pregnant.  I use the sight for reference...and of course I don't have he same goal in mind as most of you to lose or maintain weight, it's obvious that I'm going to go up.  I'm just not ready to say good-bye to all my friends here even if it's only for 9 months.  I hope ya'll don't mind if I pop-in and out of here. 

Have a good you guys!

I felt all fragile as soon as I found out I was pregnant, BUT I'm not.  I've still been able to maintain my 1 hour of cardio!  The Dr said....if I could do it before I was pregnant I can do it now.  I'm allowed to keep up with my ab exercises until my 2nd trimester and if I want I can run until my 3rd, Dr. says I'll probably be a little off balance by then.  I was worried he was going to nip my extremities in the butt BUT he encouraged me to keep up with the gym. Waa-hoo!  Also I did some research into how many additional calories I should consume now that there is a bean inside and it said you only need to up your calories by 300 a day in the last trimester.  Boy, I was eatting far too much with my other babies.

2 negative pregnancy tests later and then one positve...guess that means I'm having another baby ya'll.  YUP, found out last night that I am indeed pregnant.  I'm very excited about having a fit pregnancy.  Very excited about looking all glamorously pregnant for summer, is there really such a thing?  I am still counting calories, well just making sure I eat healthy and not over indulge, I am determined to gain the average 25-30 pounds NOT 40! So I'm 7 weeks and my due date is going to be around the beginning of September.  I can't believe I'm going to have 3 kids!!! I'm very excited!  I really really really hope I have a boy baby growing inside.

I got majorally ripped off at the gym this morning!  Boo!~  I did an hour on this gay, YES gay, elliptical and it said I only burned 480 calories on level 8.  Damnit!  The strides are shorter then the one I'm regularly on, BUT the people at the gym don't realize that it has my name on it.   Stealing peoples favorite machine just because they got there 5 minutes earlier is really starting to become my pet peeve. lol.  I'm really like this!  I'm going away tomorrow, 5 days in Vancouver, yay!  It's Annaleise's 1st bday on Friday and there will be cake.  I think I could pass, I might have to, I'm going with my BFF to this fetch Greek resturant and I'm so wanting souvlaki, Yum-O! Cheesecake, yada yada! I'm going to try my VERY best to be on good food behavior!  Also on a good note, I'm getting some foils in my hair tonight!  my hair is naturally light brown and I'm going to get some blonde and copper chunks.  I'll be totally fetch!  i'll take pics this weekend, and post on Tuesday when I'm back to hillbillie country, literally.

I'm outtie like a troutie!  Later yo!  Friday starts tomorrow for me, uuuuuurah !

Bad weeked. I totally neglacted water over the weekend so I've swelled up like a blow fish!  I cheated, I had MCDonalds, a Scor Bar X2, and a McFlurry.  I don't know what it is about sugar but man it makes me bloat!

My body hates me.
Firstly, I was holding steady at 137ish.  I did an hour of cardio on Monday and weights then 1.5 hours of cardio yesturday and I'm 139 this moring, what gives?  My legs are really sore from the lunges I did on Monday, can sore muscles put me up a couple pounds?  Plus I'm bloated!!!!!!!!  My goal this week was to get down to 135 which was at first attainable and now.....Bla!  I really don't like days like this!
