Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

Breast Feeding to the Rescue!

Pregnancy doesn't feel official until you visit the Doctor for the first time. It feels as if I could get there and she would tell me that I'm not really pregnant and that it's all been a dream. The first time I get on the scale and they take my blood pressure always make me a little nervous. Yesterday I thought that I was going to be 225 lbs., the weight I was right before I delivered last time. But I wasn't. I also thought my blood pressure was going to be threw the roof. It wasn't. I hadn't been eating very well or exercising and I was very nervous, but my blood pressure was low and my weight was 191. Happy day.

I don't believe that breast feeding helped me lose any weight, but I DO believe it helped me keep some off in the last few months. Yeah for breast feeding. I'll just have to do it for a while longer to help me keep some weight off. Just until it gets warmer and I can get outside and walk.

I want to do a race this pregnancy. It's one of my things on my bucket list. I think I will just be walking, but I am going to do it. I just need to pick one to enter and then I have a goal to shoot for.

Suggestions?

    I think you actually have to RUN in the half marathon. I need a 5K to walk. Maybe I could run the 5k, but a half marathon might just be too long when pregnant.
