Lately

I haven’t really been on lately. Been very busy. Since I’ve been waddling around being pregnant and all, of course I had to but a pause on the weight loss. I also got married. On Halloween! And we’ve been potting training our son. I also got a job! Almost at my 90 days, so the probation period is almost over. I feel like I’m everywhere. So tired. I used to sleep at like 10 pm or 11 pm. Not too bad, but now it’s like 8 pm. I work at 5 am so I know why my schedule is all off, and I thank god my mom helps out with my son. Bc the husband doesn’t get off work till 10 pm.

Aside from all that, I am happy. Super happy. I got lucky and married my baby daddy. I have lots of friends who have different baby daddies or they separate and have this crazy relationship. Idk. I just feel lucky that he and I have stayed together for 2 years, have a really adorable son and another one on the way (yes, it’s a BOY!) And we had a romantic wedding.  I’ve been in a lovey dovie mood. It’s ok :)

We got back last night.

What an awesome trip!

I had so much fun with my boyfriend’s family. And they had fun with us.

Ok so the moment is here! Time to tell you my secret! I’m not sure if you figured it out from my last two posts. But yepp, I’m pregnant.

I’m 8 weeks. I’ve kept my weight. I’ve been signed up to this website babycenter.com, it informs me that I should only gain around 5 to 10 pounds because I am considered obese. Which is alright, I don’t mind gaining the weight.

I was surprised by the pregnancy, and I did think it was a bit early to have another baby since my son is 14 months old. (Yes, I’m one of those who uses months. When you have a kid you’ll understand.) But I’m happy. My boyfriend and I are happy about having another child. We already have names picked out. We went back and fourth on the boy’s middle name and my bf came up with a beautiful middle name for the girl.

EVERYONE is saying it’s a girl. I want another boy. I took a Gender Predictor pee test. I’m not sure how accurate they are, but I took one when I was pregnant with my son and it turned out it was right. Well this time it said that it’s a boy. Let’s cross our fingers!

Aside from all this, I’m also going to be an Aunt! Yup. Two weeks before I’m due. My mom will have 3 grandchildren as of March. Our families are very excited.

Just because I’m going to be eating for two doesn’t mean I should not be healthy. I’m still going to work out. I’m still going to live the life I’ve been living. I ‘ll keep you guys updated :)

Tomorrow we start the journey back home. Italy going to take us around 18 to 19 hours.

Lately

So lately I’ve been walking. Almost everyday. 1 mile plus. Doesn’t sound like much but for a fat ass in Las Vegas, it can make you sweat.
It takes me around 20 minutes to walk a mile. I take Tripp (my son) with me. I put him in his car or the stroller. I put both either way. He likes looking at cars passing us and at different house.
My friend goes with me. She doesn’t need to lose weight but if she feels like that I won’t change her mind.
But I feel like today’s meals give my body a break from the hard work I’ve been doing. NO I’M NOT REWARDING MYSELF LIKE A DOG. But I’m giving it those necessary nutrients that comes in certain food. I know a lot of people believe in that and some don’t. Its ok. You do what you got to do.

Day Four: Your greatest fears about weight loss.

My greatest fears about weight loss is no one noticing I lost weight. I know it takes several weeks for anyone to notice but the thought is always there. Another fear is not losing the weight. Trying hard and doing everything possible and in the end finding out that I have a disease that wont allow me to lose weight. It might sound stupid to some but I guess that’s how I think. Idk I need to work on that too lol :)
