I have again reached my lowest weight of 200.4. Not much more and I will be below 200. If I can keep myself from eating too much pasta at the Teachers Appreciation Dinner tonight then I might actually make it this weekend. How exciting that will be to weigh under 200 lbs.
There could be a slight catch to my weight loss journey. Something that will eventually slow it down for a while. I found our recently that I am pregnant. Yes you read it right. I am going to have a BABY! So you see why I say that eventually my weight loss will stop. Who know when though. I am not worried about it at all. I figure I'll just keep eating healthy like I've been doing and exercising the same until it gets uncomfortable then I will have to do some adjustments.
I don't think I will have to make many changes when it comes to my exercise. I already made one change by starting to swim. That is something that I should be able to continue through out the pregnancy.
I am super excited about the whole thing and look forward to seeing how this will effect my weight loss. Who knows, I may come out of this whole thing weighing less than I did going in. You never know, it could happen. With my second pregnancy(Joshua) I lost weight in the first few months and wasn't eating nearly as healthy as I am now. I did do water aerobic for the first few months but then I had to stop because I no longer had access to the class.
Since I am overweight I am not suppose to gain as much weight as if I was normal weight. I believe it's somewhere between 15-25lbs. So I am going to keep doing what I'm doing. I know one thing. If people start telling me that I need to eat more because I'm eating for two or being pregnant is an excuse to eat whatever I want. I think I might scream.
I've been there done that and all it got me was a fat me and big babies. I want my pregnancy to be healthy. I am so glad that I started this health journey a year ago. I feel like this past year has been preparing me for the moment. I am so thankful for that. I thank God for this wonderful blessing.
Now a new journey begins.

You've been doing so great, and we're so excited about another baby joining the family.
I've read that in the first trimester you don't really need to change your eating much, but in the 2nd and 3rd you're just supposed to add 300 calories to your daily food intake. It can definitely be 300 more calories of the healthy food you already eat.
(Of course with twins that was 600 calories for me which was actually really hard to do)
Thanks Kara! Yes I've read that before but actually those 300 extra calories are for women of normal weight. When you are overweight like I am the calories needed are less just like the weight gain should be less. I personally think we worry to much about the extra calorie thing. I think I just need to eat when I get hungry and be sure to eat what is good for me and the baby.
Wouldn't it be fun to have two sets of twins in the family. Probably wont happen though.
