Walking

J and I have been talking about going on walks for months now. Last Thursday at work I felt like I needed to get out in the fresh air. So I called up J, surprisingly our schedules would work, so we met up for a walk. We had no real path picked out, so I'm not sure how far we actually went, the walk did last an hour. It was great to get out in the fresh air, and have a good conversation. I hope we can continue to meet up, but like all my friends our schedules never really match! Not to mention we wait till the weather is going to get colder. Funny how it works out.

Since my last doctor appointment, I gained 11 pounds. In the beginning I lost 25, I realize gaining weight is part of being pregnant, and considering it's only 11 pounds in 5 months, I am still on a good path. HOWEVER 11lbs is driving me nuts! For the past month since I've gotten my appetite back I'm making a conscious effort to put only food that has value into my mouth! Value to me is healthy, protein, non fatty snacks. I suppose this is why my brain is freaking out about the 11lbs. My plan is to continue eating valued food, and incorporate exercise somehow into my schedule. Doing this NOW will only help me in the long run after the baby. Now I need to begin the action.
