Shift in Focus

So, first of all--to anyone that reads this regularly--I'm so sorry I've been a slacker lately.  Please let me explain why...

So, I'm pregnant with my 5th baby!  Yeah!  We're very happy and YES, we were trying (even if you think we're crazy for doing so!).  This has been the reason my posts have fallen off the face of the earth!  Food has been so hard for me to stomach and my energy has been non-existent.

So, I'm going to have to shift my focus now!  Every pregnancy, I've always gained a lot of weight and I've certainly NEVER worked out during a pregnancy--so these are my new focuses.  Anyone still trying to lose weight--I still want to hear from you but my goal now is going to be to try and maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout this pregnancy.  It will definitely be a challenge but I'm ready to give it a go.

So far, so good.  I'm 8 weeks along now and workouts have been continuing on and I've still been able to do Insanity pretty well.  My running with Jodi has stopped for now but maybe after the nausea goes away, I can start that up again.  So, I'm still working out 5 days a week--even though I don't feel up to it in the mornings, I sure feel a WHOLE lot better after I'm done.  The great thing is that I'm the only one with a key to the building and I kind of run the whole thing--so other people are relying on me to get my keister there, which helps me stay on task!

As far as food goes, I was doing great until the puking and nausea kicked in.  Right now, I'm just trying to eat whatever sounds good--mostly toast and life cereal (and pickles!)--nothing too crazy!  I'm hoping to just adjust my calorie count to a maintenance number and stick to it once I feel a little better.  This is my life now--so keep me motivated people!

I appreciate your patience and support--keep me motivated, please!  I need your help!
