Ever since April 13th, when I found out that I was finally pregnant, I've tried to be very good about what I eat. My last few posts are evidence of that. I found that my desire to lose weight and be healthy was strong, but my desire to give this baby the best chance I can was even stronger. And my nausea was even stronger than that. I have so many reasons to finally eat right and exercise that it doesn't even seem hard. I've been feeling nauseous almost every hour of every day, so much so that there is no food that I have found that I actually want to eat. I look at salad and feel sick. I look at cookies and feel sick. Since I know I have to eat, my choice becomes so much easier. The only downside is that I'm also feeling so exhausted that I haven't been doing much of anything, much less exercising.
Now, I don't actually have much hope of winning this competition, but I do have a lot of hope that this is the perfect opportunity to get healthier and in shape. Whether or not I even lose 1 pound. I'm excited to see and hear everyone else's stories about what they are doing. This is such a great idea.
By the way, my starting weight for the competition is 235.2 lbs. Only 75.2 lbs to go!
You're gonna lose so much weight just from the food portion, regardless of exercise. Portion control and healthy food choices will revolutionize your body. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to eat a bowl of ice cream...
ReplyDeleteJust kidding! I think you've got a huge chance of winning the competition, and I love hearing about your victories and defeats with eating healthy!
