It’s been a while. For those who don’t remember, I used to lurk and sometimes post here, until February when I found out I am pregnant and was told “so long” by Weight Watchers. Well, I am happy to report that my anxieties about gaining weight have proven unfounded. I am on week 18 (that’s beginning the fifth month, for those of you who haven’t been through the pregnancy lingo craziness), and have gained only 10 pounds, without watching what I ate, except for healthy VS bad choices (oh, and I do have my Big Mac now and then, as if it was a Flex Points treat).
The first 9 pounds were gained during the first trimester, and I was freaking a bit: what? I don’t even show and I gained 9 pounds? The last one was gained in month 4, again without “dieting” or anything like that. I am exercising more than I ever did, albeit very carefully: prenatal yoga, prenatal aqua-jogging. I never knew exercising could be so fun! I just hope the new habit sticks AFTER the birth. Well, I am happy to report that my anxieties about gaining weight have proven unfounded.
