Uncovering the Truth

Profile Information

About Me:: I was going to talk about how I am uncovering the real reason why I am at this current weight but I just recently found out that I am expecting my second child. So instead of just concentrating on losing weight, I will be focusing on continuing to maintaining my healthy lifestyle with food and exercise.

Plan of Choice:: other

Website/Blog:: http://blogs.weightwatchen.com/bigtickles

Exercise and Food Plan

It is funny that when you are pregnant, the only thing I can find is that my caloric intake should increase by 300. Okay, that really means nothing to me. So after searching and searching, I have found that, according to my height and weight, I should be consuming 2200 calories a day. That is my food goal (until I see my doctor later this month).

As far as exercise, if I do nothing else, I am going to power walk at least 30 minutes a day. Other than that, my ideal workout schedule is:

Cardio 30 -45 minutes at least three times a week
Strength training alternating upper and lower body at least twice a week
Yoga or Pilates at least twice a week.

In the home stretch

Well, not really. I have about six more weeks to go but my body might only last two. I am so tired, bloated and did I say tired.... Sigh....

Still alive

Can't believe it has been so long.... I have been super busy.. I am taking two research classes that take up my entire day... The doctor says I am carrying big which explains the pain I have been in... I have gained absolutely NO WEIGHT.... I am a little over 7 months I walk like a penguin .... I am only 5'2"..... Will write more later .... Just needed to drop in... Why is my brain working faster than my body???

In a rut

I am in a rut. I am also 6 months preggo. I think it goes hand in hand. I am debating between trying once a month cooking so that my hubby will stop complaining about fast food OR trying one of these places like Super Suppers, Touch of Gourmet, Dinner by Design or Dream Dinners. What do you all think?

It's a boy!

Who would have thought .... after all the "silliness" I have had with this pregnancy, I thought it was a girl. However, we have been blessed with another boy. My goal of two children is almost complete. No, I am not holding out for a girl. I just want two healthy children. I am getting too old for this -- ha ha! I have been MIA lately because we went down to Fort Lauderdale to celebrate my son's birthday. He is now two! I also got my permanent crown today and it is soooo awkward. So, I will be… Continue

Hospital receiving blankets

Ok so now I find myself constantly watching A Baby Story and Bringing Home Baby on TLC. I have one question..... WHO invented those blankets? Even when I watch old shows, they have the SAME blanket with the SAME colors!! HA HA I think it is white with blue and pink trimmings. The colors NEVER change. Whoever got that hospital contract has to be set for life. I mean EVERY show at EVERY hospital has the same blanket. Just something that I my pregnant mind finds funny. See ya!

I'm still on the old site (http://blogs.weightwatchen.com/jennifer). I've been doing well lately for the last couple weeks! I've got a plan to lose 20 pounds in about 20 weeks (just before a big family vacation to NYC). I'm currently at 156.5, down 3.5 in 2 weeks. I'm motivated, I'm working on it, and I'm feeling great! Thanks for asking! How's everything going for you? How's the weight loss? I haven't been keeping up with blogs over here... I'd love some encouragement, so keep the comments coming! :)

Been super busy with last days of school stuff, graduations, etc. But today is the last day for my two younger ones, so SUMMER officially starts tomorrow...YEA! I'm down to 13.4 pounds to go...slow and steady wins the race...hope all is going well with you.

At 7:22pm on May 8, 2008, Danielle said…: Thanks! (: I was at my Inlaws house when I started my blog over here.. so all she had on her computer was pictures of Natalee... I was planning on changing it when I got home, but I love it too much! So it stays. I might upload some pictures of me on my blog at some point!

At 6:59pm on May 8, 2008, turboturtle said…: I completely agree with you!!! We all do fall off the wagon, and nobody is perfect, however I guess I was just venting frustrations of a man in my office, who eats a chocolate bar every other day, never goes to the gym, and calls what he is doing a diet....commiting to a diet or healthier lifestyle also means making that commitment that you ARE going to make better choices. Anyways, just a small frustration I have. :) But I do agree with you.

At 8:07pm on May 7, 2008, turboturtle said…: Your picture is soooooo cute!!!! And your site looks so great!

At 11:04am on May 7, 2008, Kristi said…: You are too sweet! That completely made me feel good...especially when I feel like I am kinda floundering with this new website, you renewed my faith in myself! haha..thank you!! I hope you have an excellent day!
