let the warfare begin...

A week or two ago I mentioned that I have already gained 2lbs. I'm happy to report that my weight is still the same, however, I have had my 3lbs days and my 1lbs. I'm averaging, brace yourselves, 128lbs. They recommend, not exactly sure who "they" are, working out 30min a day for pregnant women. Lets get real, in the 1 trimester you're beat just walking from your bed to the shower, let alone working 8 hours on your feet. So lets just say I've been struggling with the 30min a day workout. But, every Monday I find enough energy to workout for like 2 hours, and that workout will last me til next Monday...right? I have to say, guilt is great workout motivation, but I only seem to feel guilty on Mondays, strange. Plus, the gym I workout at isn't much help. I feel like a super model every time I walk through those doors. I swear I can hear some people thinking, "what is she doing here?" Clearly, I'm not a super model and I'm barely in the "Healthy" section on the BMI chart, but the quality of people working out at my gym just gives an instant self esteem boost to anyone mildly attractive and not too horribly out of shape.

The tides are changing though, I think I've found my motivation. I've pretty much always knew I'd be the super cute pregnant girl. I enjoy looking good and dressing nice, no matter what the circumstance. Stiletto sandals on a snowy, January night, with a pair of shorts and tights on? Please, I don't have to think twice about wearing that, who cares if I can't feel one of my toes, I've got 9 more. That, in a nut shell, is my philosophy. Why should pregnancy be any different? My place of employment is much like my gym...well, exactly like my gym, instant self esteem boost. So I pretty much knew I was going to be the hottest, cutest pregnant one there, that is, until I found out who else there is pregnant too. She's a little older then me, but she's got that whole runner thing going on. She's very thin, very sweet, and pretty cute, my worst nightmare. So now we are in competition (not sure if she's aware, though) for cutest pregnant girl. So lets just say, I've been hitting the gym a lot more and working it out! I weigh myself everyday and have been eating a ton of fruits and veggies. This is WAR.

So my stomach is getting rounder and rounder and I finally have some to show: 11 week baby bump!

Would you just look at that?! Cutest pregnant girl, in the bag!!!
