Blabber from a Bonkers Pregnant Woman

I think I'm losing my mind a bit... I phoned my Dad to wish him for his birthday - 3 days early...  My husband gave me his keys to keep it safe and dry for him at the beach, and I swore that he didn't, until he took it out of my handbag to show me.... Okay, I think I'm losing my mind - a lot, not a bit.  I can't remember preggy-brain being this severe last time around... eeeeek!

I have been quiet on my weight-loss blog purely for the reason that there's not much to tell, except to keep tabs on my pregnancy weight-gain.  So excuse me for being quiet, I promise this blog is going to be much busier from June 2014 onwards!

At my gynae visit I weighed in on 83.7 with jeans on, and in the afternoon when I usually weigh in heavier.  I was quite chuffed with that.  Prior to conception I weighed in at 85.4, and after Reboot at 82.4.  Then I gained a bit over the week and weekend and weighed in a bit heavier on Monday, but I got my eating in check and this morning weighed in again at 83.5, so I am happy with that.  Just need to focus on keeping unnecessary weigh-gain to the minimum and keep my eating in check!

I'm going through a bit of a fruit stage - I love my summer fruit... just wish watermelons wasn't so expensive at this moment - No matter how I want some watermelon - I'm not going to pay R70 for a small one, that's just ridiculous.  But enjoying some nectarines at this moment.  Last night I only had fruit for dinner, and this week I'm having banana, cacao and coconut milk smoothies for breakfast.

Confession - I need to move more.  My exercise has taken a backseat during this time that I'm so exhausted and that I'm struggling with nausea.  I do feel guilty about it and I know I need to exercise... just need to find the motivation when my body says no... because I know I won't ever regret a workout.

Anyway, that's all fitness/weight news from my side!

  1. You're doing so great at maintaining your weight so far Debs, well done!
    Oh my word, I'm so lus for watermelon too! Saw a quarter melon at Woolies for something like R27, it's madness, that would mean more than R100 for a whole watermelon from them.
    I'm in the same boat RE feeling guilty for not exercising. We must try motivate each other!

    1. Bought a quarter watermelon yesterday, but was disappointed... too early in the season for it to be the way I like it...
      We must motivate each other! I'm starting a plank-challenge next week, so hopefully that will help me to get motivated to exercise again! xx

  2. You are doing really well Debs with your weight during your pregnancy.
    I say, enjoy the fruit. It's much healthier than other things most pregnant women would have, so have the fruit :)
