Yesterday was rough. We were pretty much snowed in again and didn't want to take the chance of wrecking the car driving to the gym;therefore, no gym. I tried to keep everything low carb yesterday but I grazed all day and finally ate a pastry in the evening.

My successes yesterday were getting all of my protein and getting all of my water. Yea me!

This morning I've already been to the gym. I walked 80minutes on the treadmill. I plan on working out 2x per day. Once in the...

Reality has hit, hard. I decided to weigh myself this morning as I was getting ready for work. Even before I stepped on the scale that I haven't used now for months, I gave myself a pep talk. I tried to convince myself that the weight I knew I've gained was okay because after all I am pregnant. I convinced myself even before lifting one toe toward the horrible weighing machine that whatever the display read I would not let it ruin my day. Finally, I gained the courage to make the step onto the scale...
