Day 1

This blog has been created as a challenge from a friend. It is a blog to be used to journal my daily food intake, workouts and feelings. I told her that I will give it a noble try but I am unsure about getting in a blog everyday. Hell, it's worth a try!! So here I go!!



So I have basically been up since 2:45 AM. It seems that I get my morning sickness at night so that hinders me from falling asleep. Last night it started at about 10 PM and I did not finally fall asleep until midnight. At 2:45 I was promptly woken up with horrible acid reflux (I had the same thing with Addison). I guess it is just about time to get Pepsid Complete and keep a bottle of Mylanta next to my bed at night. I did fall back to sleep for 30 minutes from 6-6:30 and then again at 8-8:20 but now I am up for the day. I do have a bit of a headache but nothing too bad, thank God!



I guess I will be saving this blog and adding to it through the day with my food intake, workout and anything else that I feel like adding and then posting it every evening. I have rededicated myself back to the gym! Yesterday was the start of a new commitment to myself and my unborn child to try to stay as healthy as possible through the pregnancy. I do not want to let myself go. First because I have worked so hard to lose the weight that I have lost already. Second, I an still overweight and I do not want to develop any extra complications (more then what I already have to combat) that can come from being too over weight.

So it is finally time for me to sit down and eat some lunch, at 3 PM. Today has been a hectic one. Lauren and Addison have been arguing over so many things today. They have also managed to get a full 24 oz cup of water (a Starbucks cup with the lid on and straw) off the kitchen counter, while I was in the bathroom, fight over it and spill all the water all over the living room. Then Addison managed to get the computer armiore open (time for a child safety lock) grab a pen and draw on herself, Lauren and all over my ottoman. I swear I need to get new furniture and make it a dark color this time so I don't have to steam it 3 times a week!!! They have been like tornadoes in the house too. Every time I turn around something else is a mess and I need to clean! Between only sleeping 3 hours last night and being stressed from the kids (plus I think I was a little dehydrated) I started to cramp a bit. With that I gave the girls lunch and sent them off to bed , at about 1 PM. As soon as I got Addison down, Catherine woke. I changed her diaper, twice, (of course, you change the diaper and within 2 minutes they poop! That's babies for you!) warmed her bottle and fed her. After that Catherine and I just laid up on the couch for a while. Catherine's mother came to get her because she had her 2 month doctor appointment, at 2PM. When she left I just kind of vegged on the couch for a little bit. It was nice to just lay there and relax with my feet up. No TV, no music, no noise!!
Noticing the time, I finally got up to make myself some lunch, so I can eat it in peace and quiet. I know that it is just a matter of minutes that Addison will be up from her nap. Once both girls wake from their nap we are going to head out to Stew Leonard's to get some milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit and veggies. then we will head to Buy Buy Baby and get a couple of child safety locks. One for the PC armiore and One for the deep freezer. By the time I get in it will be time for Lauren to go home and hopefully Michael will be back from the doctor. I am not too sure if he will want to head to the gym, but I know I am going. I am definitely going to swim for, at least 30 minutes, after that I will have to see how I am feeling then decide on cardio.
Dinner is almost fully prepared. Rice is cooked, asparagus are steamed all I have to do is grill up the chicken breast and there is dinner. I think I am going to grill the chicken and then put it in some cream of chicken soup (Healthy Request) with some herbs and spices just to make it a bit differently.

Exercise for the day:
Well plans did not go as wanted. I never got to the gym because one of the little girls wound up being at my house until 6PM. When she left I had to go drop off clothes to a friend and was sat and chit chatted for about a half an hour, then I had to go to the grocery store. By the time I got in and put everything away it was after 8PM and I was too tired to push myself. I did pop in a 45 minute WATP DVD though!! So here is my Exercise for the day....

45 min WATP = 3
