Goodness, I don't even want to think about how long it's been since my last post. I know it was some time in October. I'd intended to keep posting, right through the holidays, so we could all keep each other motivated to stay on track in spite of all those holiday goodies. Well, that didn't happen! But I have good reason. Really. I promise.
On October 30th, much to my shock and surprise, I had a positive pregnancy test! Our little one is expected to join our family sometime around July 2nd. I had an ultrasound earlier this month and the little peanut is growing - just as babies do so well! After the initial shock, we're very excited. But I can assure you, it was a shock. As in: I hyperventilated in the bathroom before I got the guts to tell my husband. Wow. He thought I was kidding.
I'm trying. Really. I'm trying to keep watching what I eat. The first couple weeks, I did well. Sticking with lower calorie snacks and treats. Lots of fruit, etc. Then I started getting sick and well, you just eat what sounds good when you're sick. Then I had about two weeks there where my appetite all but disappeared. Turns out, I was having gallbladder issues. Thank the Good Lord for Hydrangea and Gall Bladder Flush. Two wonderful herbal remedies from Nature's Sunshine. They have worked wonders at calming my troubled gallbladder and I'm feeling much better.
To date, I've gained 4.6lbs since that fateful day in October. That's just over a half pound per week (since I found out). If I continue with this rate, that's another 13 lb gain before July gets here. I would love to keep it there...
I know it's a little late, but MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
How was your weight loss/gain over Christmas?
