Things looking so much clearer now.

Firstly, I really must apologise for my lack of updates last week. Had quite a lot going on and a lot to get my head around.

Friday, I weighed in at 74.8kg, which is a 1kg gain from the previous week, but a 1kg loss since the Monday as at Monday last week when I did mid-week weigh-in I was 75.8, so am pretty happy with that.

Now for some interesting news. It explains quite a bit why I have been having problems the last few weeks with my weight. You see, I am pregnant! Yes you read that right. I am 5 weeks as of today. I wasn't going to tell all of you yet, you know, wait til 12 weeks and all, but I am just busting to tell people. We haven't even told our families yet! So you are all privvy to special news. I also thought that if I can't be totally honest with you all about this, how am I supposed to continue this journal honestly.

So there you go. Tracking back 5 weeks I was at 74kg. So that is my starting weight. So far I have gained 800g. My goal now is to ensure I have a nice healthy pregancy. I was 20kg heavier when I got pregnant with Bethany so that helps quite considerably. I have talked to my doctor and I am going to continue 30min walks, just not so briskly. I am also allowed to continue to use mum's stepper, but I have to take it easy. I am drinking heaps of water and lots of fruit & vegies and that is my plan.

Saturday, I went for my first walk since finding out and geez it was weird. I keep telling myself to take it easy, its harder than you think to slow it down. Today I have brought an apple, banana and cut up watermelon to work. So I am trying.

Have been stressing a bit though. You see, when I was pregnant with Bethany, I knew from the day of conception. I got sick straight away and had all the early symptoms.
This time I had no idea. So I have eaten food that is naughty, like cold deli meats, thickshake at Macdonalds and cheesecake(unsure about the cheesecake, I know you are not supposed to have soft, mould ripened cheese). I also discovered last night that I am not supposed to be carrying Bethany anymore and I have been on a daily basis Even first thing this morning I forgot and carried her out of bed. Apparently, you are not supposed to lift anything heavier that 11kg. So until I have my scan at the end of next week, all of these situations are running through my head, making me worry.

Well that's about it for now. Well not really, I've got a hundred things running through my head but I won't bore you anymore. Was really looking forward to being a size 12 this Christmas. But I am really excited about buying real maternity clothes. I had to make my own last time as I couldn't find any in my size or if I did, they cost a fortune.

Told you my heads all over the place.

Am really signing off now. Will catch you all tomorrow.

Until later
Bye
