My Quest for a Slimmer Waistline and a Bigger Bicep
I’m still here! Still alive. All good. I think I forgot to come and update again about the gestational diabetes. The test came out negative – apparently my sugar levels look fine. Still trying to eat sensibly – not too many carbs (tough for me as I love breakfast cereals) and a bit more protein. The doctor I saw at the last visit said chances are I will still have another big baby. Ugh. Lucky me. I’ll be back for another OB/GYN visit on Thursday.
I’m still pretty tired because lately I’ve been suffering from insomnia. Very hard to get enough rest, which is discouraging since I know I’ll have trouble getting sleep when the baby comes. Yesterday at dinner my 3-year old Ewan looked over at me and said, “Mommy, when the baby’s out of your tummy you won’t be tired anymore. And you’ll stay up all night. And I will, too.” Huh. I probably will stay up all night because of baby but I’ll be even more tired. Silly kid. I just hope he doesn’t actually stay up all night, too!
Monday………….Rest (unless taking laundry up and down the basement stairs counts)
Tuesday………….Yoga
Wednesday……..Walk
Thursday………..Yoga
Friday…………….Cardio
Saturday…………Rest
Sunday……………Walk
Sheesh, it looks like such a lazy rotation! Just keep in mind I’m the size of a small whale when pregnant – walking down the street in my maternity clothes I look like a ship in full sail.
What about you – big plans this week? Feel free to share in the comments.

Walking up and down the stairs, while pregnant, AND carrying laundry TOTALLY COUNTS!!!!!!
As for me, I’m teaching 10 hours of Pilates (subbing a lot of classes) and throwing a big birthday party for my son today!!!!!!
