Do you think the gym would mind if I covered all the mirrors? I could make checker board red and pink with heart massive paper blankets to cover all of them for valentines day. Yeah that's it. It would be valentines decorations and not just me not willing to see my own reflection while bouncing up and down on an eliptical or running on a treadmill. Things jiggle. They've always jiggled but well.. they jiggle more. If I don't ask and I just start covering mirrors I wonder if anyone would try to stop me...... I wonder if they would try kicking me out.

I may be having a slight problem with the whole gaining weight with baby #3. It's not that I'm against gaining weight for a healthy pregnancy... it's the fact that I look like I've gained so much weight already! To quote the LPN "Wow your body remembered pregnancy well.. you've popped" She was worried the baby monitor wouldn't pick up the heartbeat yet because I'm only 11 weeks. HA! Kid's up and center and doing back flips already. This might explain why my underwear keeps trying to roll down. Or why my yoga pants keep drooping. Or why I already can't sleep on my stomach anymore. Love the kids but they are stretching me out!!

Ok.. so... I need a way to cope. I need a way to ensure that I don't just throw my hands up in the air and say bring on the bisquits and gravy! (Ok.. I did do that this morning but I probably shouldn't have.) I need to keep going to the gym even if my pants start rolling and my underwear disappears. Starting today I'm tracking days of staying on track. If I stay on track then I know I'm being healthy even if I do become a VW bug and struggle like a turtle on its back to get out of bed. So.. I'm tracking the days I workout and eat under 1800 calories. Maybe I should start tomorrow... the biscuits and gravy were really good though! If I burn them off in the gym then I'm still under 1800 calories right? Maybe? I want more gravy.

Try thinking of eating for the baby. Nothing especially nutritious in biscuits and gravy.

You have a FitBit right? Use that and keep track of all the healthy food you are going to eat! At least you are going to the gym and that is really awesome for you and your baby!

Okay .. now YOU'VE got ME craving biscuits and gravy. I have biscuits left over from the dinner last night.. I have milk and flour... I just have to remember gravy isn't a beverage ... it's a garnish right? Never got that part down. There's a mirror on the wall in the yoga studio and I hated it the other night --- in MY mind I'm sitting tall, lean and serene and it took me a second to figure out that short dumpy gal slumping on the mat was my own reflection. I just closed my eyes and regained my delusion. I wouldn't recommend eyes closed on a treadmill though ... unless, like me, you have a wall behind it to break your fall... :-)

LOL!!! Aw ... forget the jiggle ... embrace it!!! You can eat whatever you want but indeed I think tracking is a good idea. Oh your body just isn't your own when you are baking a baby ... frustrating at times yes but so worth it. Think of what you want to feed that little one and keep your body moving. Yes. It IS worth it and YOU are worth it too!!!
