I'm 8 weeks pregnant and really struggling with the food intake. Between being tired all the time and neausous eating well has been really difficult. It would be really nice to know how many calories I should be intaking. I don't want to gain a ton of weight. However, I think I am well on my way to gaining more than I'd like. I feel huge! Super bloated! I don't know what to do. I have my first OB appointment on Wednesday. I'm going to ask about this.Wednesday, May 6th 2009
If I take this one day at a time, I can do this. I'm learning to eat foods that my body needs rather than eating foods my mind thinks I want. I'm feeling better. I love my new pilates class!!!! I'm planning to go tomorrow again. I noticed that while I was at the gym today, I couldn't see my belly jiggling in the mirror. That felt fantastic. I use to hate looking at myself while at the gym. It just made me more depressed. I can do this. One step at a time. One day at a time. Oh and I'm...Monday, May 4th 2009
Wow! I'm so amazed at what a difference exercise makes for me. Even 30 minutes a day makes such a big difference. I'm able to stay within my calorie range and I'm finding that I crave exercise!!!

No wonder I gained so much weight so quickly!!! Fast food is horrible for you!!! I can't believe the number of calories I took in due to eating fast food. My only saving grace is that I worked in the yard gardening for about 6 hours this weekend. My body hurts, but I feel good. Until I hate Del Taco for dinner....1300 calories later!!! My stomach hurt so bad and the food wasn't even that good. Honestly I use to think that I could get better tasting food by eating out. Boy was I WRONG!! H...Thursday, April 30th 2009
I didn't give into the temptation of eating beyond my calorie range yesterday. Then today, I didn't go to the gym, but I did take the dogs for a walk. I also consumed food within my calorie range. Every day I get closer to being the person I want to be. I can stay in the moment, be present, and sit with the discomfort. Then I can be proud of making healthy and emotionally supportive choices for myself. It's about time I put myself first again!
