Weekly Weigh-In: Week 38

Ok, People, we are getting down to the wire.

And we are all so glad, I'm sure.

RIGHT???

For those of you who are keeping up with the weight, this week I {proudly} weighed in at 178.8.

Precisely 40.2 lbs above my pre-pregnancy weight.

I may or may not have worked hard to keep off any extra lbs this week.

And I may or may not have shed a lb.

But I am a happy girl.

And my doctor was perfectly fine with the loss of a pound, thankyouverymuch.

So now on to the really fun stuff.

Be prepared to laugh, mk???

All I can think is how on earth was my face that huge or my belly that round???

But seriously, this time I'm not so small, so who am I to judge???

And just for kicks and giggles, let's do a comparison between last week and this week, mk?

Anyone else think torpedo belly seems to be pointing a different direction this week?

And I am actually referring to SOUTH, not EAST.

But thanks for noticing, my directionally competent friends!

I actually had a lady at the grocery store tell me I looked like the baby was about to drop out of me today.

Ah, the things people will say to you when you weigh more than 2 times their weight is amazing to me.

I guess she knew my reflexes were a little off.

Still, worth a good laugh right?

And a week from now, well, I probably won't have time to even think about a weekly weigh-in post.

So let's enjoy this while it lasts!

And breath a sigh of relief that it's almost over!

Thanks for sticking with me!

Weekly Weigh-In: Week 37 and Counting

It's been a few weeks (3, to be exact) since I was accountable to myself for my preggo largeness...

And in the meantime, I've been chomping on bon bon's and chicken marsala.

NOT.

But I have still managed to put on a little weight.

Despite the fact that I have upped my workouts from 3-4 per week to 5-6 per week.

And in case you are wondering what this moo-cow momma looks like these days and you aren't a Facebook follower, here ya go:

Last week's pic:

And this week's unfair comparison:

Yes, I look way bigger in the Now pic.  Thankyouverymuch.

But it's also not zoomed out by about 20 feet.

However, I do have a number for you.

A shameful number, but a number all the same.

As of this week, I weigh 179.2 lbs.

Meaning I have, at 37 weeks, gained 40.6 lbs.

Not on target for my goal, but not nearly as bad as last pregnancy.

I am continuing to workout like a banshee to try to keep the weight off and hopefully, this stuff will come off quickly once Baby Girl finds her way into the real world!

Wish me luck!!!

Either way, it should all be over soon and we can move on to our normally scheduled programming, right????

Then and Now

Because after gaining 7 lbs in the last 3 weeks, I am giving up on keeping track of my weight.

So lets just compare largeness, mmmkay?

The THEN:

 And the NOW:

Depressingly, I can't tell a difference any more.

Looks like I caught up to myself (even if the scale is only 3 lbs off target...)

But for reference sake, let's do the sidebyside.

I'm so humidiated....

*in case you are doing the math, or are really interested in the weight gain, I am sitting at 174.8, I started at 138.6, meaning I have gained a total of 36.2 lbs in the past 34 weeks.  Not terrible.  But the worst is yet to come. 


Trust me.

A Preggo Update

I am really not in the mood for words tonight.

So a picture will cut it, right?

How about a then and now for old times' sake???

Unless I grow alot this week (which, considering the fact that all I want is pizza and taco bell, is a possibility), I am pretty sure that the difference is apparent.

But I'll leave that to you to decide.

(For those of you who may or may not be keeping track, I am 31 weeks and as of yesterday have only gained 30 lbs. - I blame the illness that kept me strapped to the bathroom floor for a good 12 hrs last week...but I'll take it!)

Weekly Weigh-In: Pregnancy Update #5

Ugh.

I don't know if I should still even be posting these.

But alas, someone's gotta stay accountable.

You wanna know the dirty awful truth, dontcha?

Ugh.

Ok, but before we talk numbers, let's talk beauty.

And ROTUNDNESS.

Please tell me you think I look smaller this time.

I will be your best friend forever.

And bake you a cake.

For the record, I personally think I look smaller this time.

But it's kinda hard to tell from this angle.

I actually have been working out, though, so that's a huge improvement, right?

Anyway, moving on to numbers.

Today, at 27.5 weeks, I am sitting at...

Which is precisely 30.4 lbs above my pre-pregnancy weigh in.

No.  I am not satisfied with this number.

But in my defense, in the last 2 weeks, I have only gained 2.4 lbs.

Which is almost my goal, right?

And really, isn't almost good enough???

Weekly Weigh-In: Pregnancy Update #4

This is getting difficult, ya'll.

I'm large.

Really, Really large.

My face looks like I am hiding water balloons in my cheeks.

And I don't even wanna talk about the size of my belly.

The good news?

I think I may be smaller than I was last time I was this pregnant.

The bad news?

I have no idea for sure.

And I have not met my weight loss goals.

I am 26 weeks pregnant.

Weighing in at 166.4.

Meaning I have gained about 28 lbs.

Just over my 1 lb. per week goal.

I hang my head in shame.

But not too low.  Because after all, I am still smaller than I was last pregnancy.

Or so I think.


In case you are interested in following my pregnancy weight, you can see previous installments here, here, and here.  Yeah, I'm pretty bad at this....

Weekly Weigh-In: Pregnancy Update Edition

Well, ya'll, I had great expectations for this pregnancy.

High hopes of working out the entire time.

And keeping the weight off.

And then life threw me a curve ball and moved me to Georgia.

With my elliptical packed in storage and little to no motivation at the end of every day.

Sounds motivational, right?

I know.

Don't you wanna go out and get knocked up?

Or move 800 miles?

In reality, it hasn't been all that bad.

And all the bending, lifting, sorting, and packing was kind of like working out.

Which is probably why I can say that at 21 weeks and 3 days, I currently weigh...

158.8

Which, thanks to my previous pregnancy weigh-in and my last pre-pregnancy weigh-in, I can proudly say is just 20.4 lbs. over my pre-preggo weight.

Admittedly, this is not really remarkable for OTHER people.

I mean, 1 lb. per week weight gain???

But for ME????

This is like the equivalent of Lindsey Lohan staying sober for more than a week at a time.

It's ground breaking.

And I happen to be very proud of it!

Weekly Weigh-In: Pregnancy Edition #2

Anyone other than me wondering what the status of this pregnancy is?

To be honest, I was terrified of the scale this morning, since I have had a WRETCHED week foodwise.

And most especially since SOMEONE wanted Ravioli at 9:30 last night.

I won't mention any names, but only because I don't know who's in there yet....

But for the sake of my sanity, let's recap, ok?

Last weigh in was 2 weeks ago.

I was 15.5 weeks pregnant at the time and I had gained 14.2 lbs.

Today, I am 17.5 weeks pregnant and....

Duh duh duh...

I am weighing in at 154.

Even.

Meaning I have gained a total of 15.6 lbs.

Still under my 1 lb. per week goal.

Let's see how long I can hang on to that.

Especially with the pending move and I'm sure at least a week or two of fast food during the adjustment.

But.

For today, I am satisfied AND relieved.

154 works for this momma!

Weekly Weigh-In: Pregnancy Edition

I know, I know.

I'm crazy.

It's ok.

I know it. 

But I figured it was time to get down and dirty and all out honest about this pregnancy thing.

Since pregnancy is what caused the Weekly Weigh In's to start in the first place. 

My last legitimate, Pre-pregnancy weigh-in was something like 15 weeks ago.

When I would have been 1 week pregnant, also known as, not pregnant yet.

It's confusing.  Don't ask.

But at that weigh in, I tipped the scales at 138.4.

And today? 

Approximately 15 weeks later?

I weigh 152.6.

In the past 15 weeks, I have gained 14.2 lbs. 

(Well, if you wanna get technical, I lost a lb. and then gained a lb. so I have gained 15+ lbs...but who's really counting??)

Considering that by this point in my 1st pregnancy, I had already gained more than 20 lbs., I would say I am doing better.

And until a big game changer came up a few weeks ago, I totally was working out consistently.

But as of late, the only working out I am getting comes from putting closets back together and reupholstering headboards.

So, 15 weeks and only 14.2 lbs. with no working out in more than a month....

Not too shabby.

Hopefully, I can do better about keeping the weight off this time around.

Wish me luck!
