Baby Weight - ugh!
Well, I lost about 75 lbs after Jonah was born, only to find out that I was pregnant again (which was a surprise, but a very pleasant one!)  I got pregnant at the end of August, and I did really well with my weight control for awhile.  In December, at 4-months pregnant, I could still fit into my size 8 jeans.  However, I have REALLY blossomed lately.  I'm nearly 30-weeks pregnant.  I made the mistake a couple of weeks ago at the dr's office, of comparing my weight gain with Jonah to my weight gain this time around.  I weighed the exact same thing as I did with Jonah at this time in the pregnancy.  The difference is that I started out 15 lbs LIGHTER with this pregnancy.....which -- if you do the math -- tells you that I've gained 15 more lbs so far in this pregnancy than I did in my first.  So, not only have I completely negated any and all of my weight-loss efforts from last year, but I'm also on track to gain even more than I did with Jonah -- which was EXCESSIVE.  I gained about 50 lbs with him.  Ugh!  I'm discouraged.  But, I'm trying to just relax and take things as they come.....knowing that it's well-worth the outcome in the end, and I can work my booty off afterward to lose the weight again.  I know I can do it, as I've done it before.  And, I think I'll be even MORE motivated this time around, since we aren't looking to have any more children after Lexi.  Last time, I started exercising in Feb (when Jonah was nearly 5-months-old), and it took me about 6-months to get down to a size 6.  So, I figure if I start sooner, I'll reach my goal again sooner :)  I have positive expectations of myself!!
