Um, It's been awhile. . .

Yeah, it's been over six months since I last wrote. Which means it's been six months since I've met my goal! I have successful stayed at/below goal this whole time too! I attribute much of my success to still attending weight watchers meetings. I'm actually wearing a size four now and weigh less than I did in high school!

All that is going to change soon, though! I just found out that I'm pregnant! I'm still really nervous about everything that could happen, and I don't suppose I'll be really excited until I hear the heart beat. BUT. . . I really AM!

I really don't want to use this as an excuse to overeat and overindulge. I will need to eat extra calories for the baby, but that doesn't mean the baby needs, chocolate, ice cream and sugar! Not that I don't plan to indulge every now and then. . . I just don't want to take advantage of the pregnancy and use it as an excuse. I worked SO hard to lose FORTY pounds and I don't want to have to start back where I began.

The GREAT news about all of this is that I am starting this journey off right where I always dreamed I would be! I'm excited to be able to take belly shots along the way :)

I wish I could still attend weight watchers meetings, but even though it's still so early. . .it just doesn't seem healthy to be so concerned about my weight right now. Besides, I think my husband would kill me if I continued to attend! He's already trying to force more food down my throat!

Since I will no longer be attending meetings, my goal is to update this journal at LEAST once a week. We'll start there, and see how it goes. :)
