My Story
I hit my lowest weight of 119 pounds in July of 2009. It hasn't been easy to keep the weight off. I have definitely gone up and down a little, but overall have maintained a 100 pound loss. I don't do weight watchers anymore, and once I stopped counting points I had to re-learn all over again how to keep balance in terms of food. I feel like I am definitely on the right path. I'm constantly trying to improve myself, this journey is never over.
I love blog to lose. The support everyone has given me is unlike anything else, and I've said many times I don't think I would be where I'm at without everyone here.

16 Weeks Pregnant
Today I'm 16 weeks- time is flying this pregnancy! 3 more weeks till our ultrasound- and yes we're finding out the sex. :) I have been feeling great overall, and I hope that continues!
I decided to step back from the scale (again) after getting increasingly frustrated. Watching the numbers go up feels out of my control- but I CAN control what and how much I eat. So I'd rather focus on that then helplessly watch the numbers climb! I'm making an effort to eat more clean, like I w

15 Weeks Pregnant
I finally had a great run this morning! And I think it was all mental. I have been struggling to no end with running and deciding for how long to go and how much to run vs. walk and I finally just decided to pick up with the Couch to 5K program at week 5 and follow the program through. I'm so excited to be able to run 3 miles straight again!
Today was run 5 minutes, walk 3, run 5, walk 3, run 5 and it went great! I covered almost 2 miles. I thought I would struggle with it but

14 Weeks Pregnant
Today I'm 14 weeks pregnant. Hurray! I feel pretty good and my energy has been pretty good... although some of that is probably due to a little caffiene.
Eating has been going okay... I haven't stepped on the scale since Wednesday so I have no idea what I weigh. I don't really focus that much on food anymore. I've been doing well at not binging on sweets or anything else. I haven't really had the appetite to eat too much after dinner. I've been doing not so well at eating big m

Doing Better
Yesterday morning I was determined to run 2 miles without stopping... just to prove to myself I could still do it... and I did! I didn't bring my watch so I didn't know how long it took me. I'm planning on doing the same thing tomorrow. The 5k I'm doing is in 6.5 weeks and I would love to build back up to being able to easily run 3 miles again by then. That would be so awesome! And I think I have plenty of time to build up to that.
I'm not feeling sick anymore so I'm very relie

A Rough Week
I have been having a very rough time lately, especially with my health. Wednesday night I came home from work feeling very nauteous and I ended up throwing up and having diarrhea all night. Thursday I slept the entire day and Friday I felt okay enough to go to work, but I still don't feel 100%. I'm starting to get depressed that I'll never feel better. I lost like 7 pounds in the day I was sick but I've since gained a couple back. I just don't get why my stomach keeps hurting if I'm not sick

- We are happy either way too. (would just be easier if it was a boy since we have all of Henry's stuff!).
Can't believe we are almost halfway through the pregnancy. This one is flying by (it DRAGGED with Henry).

Hannah said… - Yay! I hope you plan on announcing it on here :-) I'd like to have 2, but Ross would like 3. I think we'll have to make that decision once we do have a second. My parents had 2, but my dad talked her into having the 3rd. I'm glad he did, or else I wouldn't be here today.

Tricia said… - You look so cute!! Love the picture. Yes, 2nd pregnancies POP the belly much earlier. I looked like that at 14 weeks with Asher. It sounds like you are having a very healthy pregnancy so far.

- I am having a major aversion to fluids...and it is irking me... just seems like everytime I drink something I either feel queasy or get heartburn. ughhh...
The naseousness is sort of going away... but now I am starting to get anxious about the weight gain... so hard to watch the scale go up, especially now when the baby/belly is not too big yet.
congrats on running again!!
