Week 15

Well, this week I get to go see the little bean. In fact Friday. I am sort of excited and a bit worried. I haven't had a check up in seven weeks... (slap hand, I know..) so I am hoping everything is still fine. I am pretty sure they are since I have had no spotting and only minimal pain/cramping, which is not that unusual. 

This week I gave myself a challenge to track my calories on myplate for the whole month of November. It's been going very well and I haven't missed a day even on the weekend, which is usually when I fail. I am hoping that I will be able to slow the weight gain down a bit. I haven't actually climbed on the scale, but I will today as I want to be able to compare to the doctors scale which ALWAYS reads more. YUCK! 

So the eating is on the right track, but the exercise did not go so well last week as I was SOOOO exhausted that I couldn't bring myself to get off my A** to work out like I normally do. I did still finish the week with 21 miles and I also did five miles in 37:40 which ROCKS on Sunday. 

The totals were four days of running and one day of weights. 

So far this week, I am back on track and things are looking pretty good though, I won't count my chickens before they hatch as the saying goes. 

Part of the problem last week, was that my legs hurt SO badly. I MUST get new shoes, but as cash is tighter then usual, I am trying to find a good deal on the shoes I always get, and it's just not happening. GRRR... I am going into town tomorrow, like I said and I  WILL get shoes then. 

And here is the little pumpkin. Actually the little apple according to babycenter.com. I have felt the baby move more, though still not consistently. It is such a relief when I do feel the baby all the time and don't have to wonder it everything is still fine. 

Belly shot of the week. I couldn't decide if I should use this one or another one that makes me look bigger. But since if you look back through the weeks and see that I look bigger at 13 weeks then I do now, I guess it doesn't really matter.. :) 

I am going to clean the house and do the laundry now, so have a good week, if there actually are any readers out there.. :)
