Happy Monday, guys! I hope you are having a good start to the week. And I really hope you all enjoyed Sarah’s post as much as I did. I’m so proud of her for starting a new plan, and look forward to her future guest posts here at TPAW. She’s one amazing gal! 
As for what I’ve been up to the past couple of days, I’ve been busy:
Taking waayyy too many pictures of Tex
Helping the husband put together the changing table
Doesn’t it match perfectly with the dresser we bought at auction? (And don’t worry…we aren’t keeping these right next to each other…just did it for the photo.)
And getting ready to tackle this monster (a.k.a. the CRIB!)
On the food front, pregnancy cravings have been coming in droves. These include, but are not limited to:
- Fritos and bean dip
- Avocados sprinkled with salt
- My mom’s mashed potatoes and gravy
- Fried bologna sandwiches
- Garlic bread
- Any and all types of fruit
- Chocolate cake
- Fried chicken
The list could seriously go on, but I will stop there. I’ve only given in to the fruit (yay!), and the Fritos and bean dip (boo!), which I’m pretty proud of considering I feel like a starving beast 24 hours a day. I’ve been trying to make good choices, and keep healthy snacks in the house when I feel like munching (ok, so when do I NOT feel like munching these days? LOL)
As for exercise, last week was not good. I only worked out twice, and I have no excuses for it. But, I have a whole new week ahead of me, and will be jumping on the elliptical as soon as I finish this post. When you fall off your bike, you get back on, right? And, I have a new motivation to keep up the exercise too after last night.
JD and I were putting groceries in the car, and the man that was in line behind us came up to JD while he was putting the cart away. He asked, “so, when’s the baby due?” I was shocked that a perfect stranger would be brave enough to ask that question…thank goodness I am expecting, or that would have been an even more awkward conversation. I guess I was taken aback a bit that I’m big enough for people that don’t know me to notice. I just hope that doesn’t mean I’m gaining too much. I only weigh myself when I go to the doctor, so I really don’t know how much I’ve put on since last month. I have another appointment on Wednesday (can’t wait!), so I guess I’ll find out then. I figure if I keep up the healthy eating and exercise, I’ll be A-ok. (And note to self: don’t let stranger’s comments bother you.)
So this post is verging on way too long, so I guess I better go eat and exercise. Hope you all have a wonderful, healthy week!!
