9 weeks pregnancy weight

Starting Weight of HCG diet: 132.8
Highest Weight after loading: 135.4 (+2.6)

4w2d 127.0 (-8.4) Found out I was pregnant!
5w0d 127.6
6w0d 128.0
7w0d 128.8
8w6d 128.8
9w0d 128.4 (-0.4)

Yesterday I had my ultrasound and it went great! I got to hear the heartbeat and it was nice and strong at 167!! That definitely indicates a girl which would be wonderful because I have two boys :) The baby measured 8w1d and I was 8w6d so my due date is now around Nov. 5th instead of Nov. 3rd but the doctor said that my csection would likely be Oct. 27th or 28th so I am still sticking to being 9 weeks pregnant today :)

Yesterday I didn't eat breakfast because I knew I had to weigh at the doctors. I had my ultrasound at 10:30 a.m. and I was starving!! The doctor saw me quickly and I weighed 129.0 on her scale. After that I had to go to an elementary school for an observation so I ate a turkey sandwich in my car and a South Beach Fiber Fit bar. When I got back to work, I ate my breakfast which was a Kashi Dark Chocolate Coconut Bar. For dinner, we went to Burger King and I ate the BK Charbroiled Chicken sandwich with no mayo. It was really good but the calorie thing said it was still 350 calories but I don't see any way possible that it is that many calories!! For dessert, we went to Braum's and I had a cake cone with CarbWatch Chocolote Almond. It was delicious and only 160 calories. I wasn't sure to get a sugar cone or cake cone but I think that they are both lower than a waffle cone!!

Well I am back to 128! Today is my ultrasound and I get to see my little bean or beans!! I will find out today if it is one or two babies. I am so excited! However, I am very nervous because I am worried about not hearing a heartbeat or nothing being there at all :( After having a miscarriage, it makes you worried about everything. I never worried about these things before my miscarriage. I ate really good yesterday. I am excited to be at my lowest weight ever before having my third child :) For lunch, I ate a new Lean Cuisine Beef Portabello meal with steak and broccoli and it was only 160 calories. I had a yoplait parfait yogurt with it for 100 calories. It was delicious. I had the caramel but they have raspberry chocolate and lemon meringue. For dinner, I ate a cup of my chicken chili and a handful of air popped popcorn. I worked out for 35 minutes and then the entire family walked at one of the local elementary schools. Almost time for my ultrasound!!

I went back to my diet yesterday and exercised for 45 minutes and I was up two ounces. My body fluctuates between 128-129 during this time of my pregnancy. Today I ate my Kashi Dark Chocolate Coconut bar for breakfast with one chocolate graham cracker (65 calories). For lunch, I had my leftover grilled KFC chicken leg and thigh with a salad. For a snack I had my new Yoplait Raspberry Chocolate yogurt for 100 calories. For dinner, I am eating the chicken chili that I have cooking in my crockpot. I have also been munching on the sea salt melba toast. I just got done working out and now it is time to do school work and get ready for my IEP meeting on Monday :(

I am so excited!! I only gained six ounces over my week long training in Kansas City!! That involved eating out every night! My dh didn't do so well and gained 3 pounds!! I gave him suggestions at every restaurant but he didn't always listen :) I have had to make very healthy choices at restaurants for years now so I pretty much have it down. Here is a breakdown of my menu:

Sunday dinner: Sonic Grilled Chicken sandwich, no mayo
Monday dinner: On the Border Mexican Restaurant: Low Fare Menu - Grilled Chicken with salsa and grilled veggies in salsa. Delicious!!
Tuesday dinner: T-Rex Dinosaur Cafe - Grilled Chicken Wrap in a Tomato Basil Tortilla. I only ate half of the tortilla.
Wednesday dinner: Small greek salad and pita bread with hummus. One piece low carb cheesecake with fresh strawberries (600 calories, so that was my one splurge!!)
Thursday dinner: Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ - Grilled chicken salad with feta cheese, fresh strawberries, spinach leaves, and low fat raspberry vinagrette on the side.
Friday dinner: KFC grilled chicken leg and thigh with green beans
Saturday lunch: KFC grilled chicken leg and thigh with green beans :) Only 260 calories!!

Every day for breakfast I had a South Beach Protein Bar or Kashi Chocolate Raspberry bar. Every day for lunch, I ate two slices of chicken breast, one slice of cheese, and wrapped it up in a Santa Fe wheat tortilla.

I am so happy that I didn't gain but six ounces. I was really worried but this proves to me that I can eat more normal while having hcg in my system (due to pregnancy) and still maintain. I never went over 1,000 calories except for my cheesecake day :)

Tuesday is my ultrasound and I am so excited. Almost 9 weeks pregnant!!

I was down six ounces today, which is great!! I would rather be on the lower end of 128! My pants are getting a little bit tight due to almost being 8 weeks but my weight is going down :) Yesterday for dinner, I had scrambled eggs. One whole egg and three egg whites along with one piece of bacon (45 calories). I sprinkled a little bit of shredded cheese on them and some pepper and my eggs were delicious!! I scrambled the bacon in with them as well. Today for breakfast I had my South Beach Living protein bar. The peanut butter kind is delicious!! No high fructose syrup and 8 grams of protein!! I had two shortbreads as my snack and I plan on eating clean the rest of the day. I don't know where I am eating lunch but it will be on the road!!

I was down two ounces this morning. I am happy that I am maintaining the 128 pounds so far. I am only going to track my weekly weight above now so it is not so long!! Tomorrow I head out for a week long training and I am packing healthy snacks and my scale!! I always gain on trips so if I have my scale with me, then maybe I won't gain!! Besides, it is self defense trainer training so maybe I will burn some extra calories! Today I had a fruit cup at Chick fil a for breakfast and chicken and cabbage for lunch. Tonight, I am going to eat a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and see if that brings me up!! My hubby has been eating tacos every night while on the hcg diet and losing a pound each day so I might have a taco instead!! Today he ate his taco in a low carb tortilla instead of a shell so I might do that too!

I was up two ounces today which is okay because I am still 128. A lady in my class is expecting and due in August. She said that she has LOST three pounds since she became pregnant AND she is 20 weeks along!! Some people!! For lunch yesterday, my hubby showed up to surprise me so we went to KFC. I had the grilled chicken thigh and leg (only 210 calories total). The grilled chicken breast was 190 calories and the wing was like 50 so I chose the lower calorie option, the dark meat :) I had green beans as my side and took one small bite out of my biscuit and threw it in the trash. For dinner, I had one of my wheat tortillas and one cup of chili. My boys wanted to go out yesterday after my class since it was so nice out so we did. We drove by Wanda Gray and Cherokee and looked at the house we have a contract on AND a back up house that we love right by Cherokee. It is definitely our back up house if our current deal falls through. My boys wanted strawberry shakes from Sonic so I got them each one and then I did sip on one because they didn't finish it!! I had about four sips and then threw it in the trash!! I have to be good today and on Spring Break when I am in training!

I was down two ounces today. I am so happy that I am maintaining my weight during this first trimester. I ate a lot of food for dinner!! I had two tacos and some cabbage. We popped popcorn and watched the movie "Couples Retreat". It was really good. I didn't eat any popcorn. For lunch yesterday I had a grilled chicken sandwich from Sonic and I am always down in weight when I eat that. Today I ate my South Beach Protein Bar again for breakfast and then ate one QUARTER of the new banana cream stuffed donut from Krispy Kreme which is about 75 calories. It was SOOOO good! I can still smell the dounts and they are now calling my name. Donuts are such a weakness for me but I will prevail!! For lunch, I am trying a Healthy Choice frozen entree that is fish, broccoli, veggies, and apple desert. It is 300 calories. I brought one cup of chili to eat for dinner before my class tonight along with one of my tortillas. I need to buy some more of those from Sam's!!

I am so excited that I hit the 7 week mark today and I get to add a fish!! Less than 2 weeks to go for my ultrasound!! I just ate my South Beach Protein bar - Cinnamon Raisin for breakfast and I brought a cheesestick for a snack. I plan on going to Sonic for lunch and getting my grilled chicken sandwich on wheat for 250 calories or maybe the grilled chicken salad with cheese for 260 calories. I haven't decided. DH is off tonight so I don't know what we are eating for dinner. Probably the tacos I made last night. We are saving our money for our week long trip next week because we will be eating out all week!!

I knew that I was going to up today because this morning I felt bloated and my lower back really hurt. I worked out last night for 40 minutes and then cleaned my house. Today I brought my Kasha protein bar, the cinnamon raisin kind. I also brought an apple for a snack. I brought chili again for lunch (one cup) and will toast one of my tortillas. For dinner tonight, I am going to eat one of the mesquite steaks that I made along with my skillet squash. I am out of melba toast and I snack on those so I am going to have to buy some more. Tomorrow, I get to add another fish because I am hitting the 7 week mark!!

Well I am almost to the 7 week mark of my pregnancy! I am so excited. I am so happy that I am maintaining my weight after losing from being on the hcg diet. My goal is to not gain any weight during the first trimester (5 more weeks to go!) and to continue to eat healthy and exercise. Today I tried a new bar, the South Beach Protein Cinnamon and Raisin bar. It was really good and 8 grams of protein!! For lunch, I brought my chili and I am going to eat a Santa Fe Wheat Tortilla from Sam's. For dinner, I am going to eat my steak again along with cabbage. Today is my fourth day to exercise and then I am off for three days. I can't wait until my ultrasound on March 30th!!

I was happy to see that I am still 128. I didn't weigh yesterday because I felt bloated and tired. I worked out today and yesterday on my elliptical. I went up a pound a couple of days ago and I now know why. I have learned that soup is a weight gainer for me now. Ever since I did the hcg diet, whenever I have soup, even if it is lowfat, I gain weight. I am sticking to just chili!! I made some today and I have packed it for work tomorrow, along with an apple. We ate at Sonic all weekend and the grilled chicken sandwich is only 250 calories, with the bun. It is only 100 calories without the wheat bun but I had to have the bun yesterday!! The grilled chicken salad is 260 calories with no dressing but with cheese. I ate that today and it was delicious. For dinner, I ate a 4 oz steak and some squash and I am trying to stay awake. The first trimester has really hit me hard the last few days in regards to tiredness. As soon as I put my boys to bed, I want to go to bed!! I slept 10 hours each night over my weekend :)

I am down 2 ounces today. I love the fact that I was on the HCG diet before I got pregnant because it really taught me how to eat properly. For breakfast, I had an English McMuffin from McDonalds without the egg. It is around 200 calories. For lunch, I ate a piece of vegetable pizza from Papa Johns along with a salad and one small strawberry bite sized desert. We had a meeting at work so I had no other choice!! For dinner, I went to Sonic and had the grilled chicken sandwich on the wheat bun. I ate half of the wheat bun. I thought I would be up with the pizza but I wasn't!! I can't wait until March 30th for my ultrasound to see if I am feeding twins!!

I am so glad that I am down a pound because I have to weigh in at my doctor's appointment today and I hate doing that. I even weighed myself again with my clothes to see what I weighed and my clothes added exactly a pound. I just want to be under 130 when I weigh in!! Yesterday I had a south beach diet protein bar for breakfast and I only ate three shortbread cookies all day. For lunch, I had a chicken salad from Sonic without dressing but I did eat the croutons which were only 25 calories. For dinner, I had my chicken and salsa dish along wtih cabbage with some bacon. For my snack, I had a 60 calorie tortilla from Dillions and then went to bed!! I am excited for my ultrasound today to see my baby or babies!!

Well I am down almost a pound today. I worked out again last night on my elliptical for 40 minutes and do the hill version. I burned 280 calories and felt great. I drank all of my water as well. For dinner, I had my miracle Fuji Apple with Chicken salad (half order) from Panera and it was delicious. I was going to do skillet squash but it was so nice outside that I wanted to go outside with my boys. Yesterday was super busy with running around and looking at houses. Eric had to work overtime so he was gone all day. We met him for lunch and then home and then back out to look at houses. Today I ate a new protein bar, South Beach Diet Choocolate bar, and it was really good. Only 90 calories and I am still full!! I brought soup for lunch and I am going to eat a whole wheat tortilla with it. I haven't decided what I am going to eat for dinner yet!!

Okay my weight keeps inching up but I am still eating healthy, around 900 calories, and exercising 45 minutes a day. I think it is a combination of being pregnant and coming off the hcg injections. Today, I was so busy running around that I ate my usual kashi bar for breakfast and my three shortbread cookies. For lunch, I had a junior burger from Braums with ketchup and pickles and I didn't eat the top bun. I ate about three fries from my son's carton. It was around 250 calories. For lunch I had a chicken breast and cabbage and some melba toast. I am going to make some skillet squash tonight if I am not too tired.

I don't know what I did but I am up 1.2 pounds. My doctor said that I am not supposed to really gain anything the first trimester but I think it is just water weight. The only extra food I had were 4 fries and one bite of a chicken tender! I know that is not 1.2 pounds worth. If I was going to gain 1.2 pounds then I would've went to Krispy Kreme and made it worthwhile! I heard that the new banana creme donuts are delicious!! Today, one of my co-workers was nice enough to make me a lowfat strawberry shortcake with lowfat coolwhip, angel food cake, and strawberries. I have had about 150 calories worth of that today. For breakfast I had a serving of it and my kashi bar. For lunch I had a small Seafood Milo salad, no dressing, from Pasta Express. It was super good! It had lots of shrimp and crab and lowfat mozzarella cheese. For dinner, I ate my chicken and salsa crockpot recipe and one low carb tortilla and two servings of my strawberry shortcake. I just ate a cheesestick and I am done eating!! I worked out for 35 minutes on my elliptical and burned 250 calories. My youngest son is sick and has been screaming all night so I am stressed!! He keeps wanting me to hold him so while I am sitting and sitting with him, I want to eat. We will see what tomorrow's weight brings!!

My body loves going back and forth between 127.6 and 127.4. I am just so happy that my weight has stabilized around that. I never could've made it into the 120's without the hcg diet!! I am so happy to be in the 120's and plan to stay there until my second trimester! Today I am eating my Kashi dark chocolate cherry bar for breakfast and my snack is a serving of Girl Scout shortbread cookies (120 calories for 4). For lunch, I am meeting my DH and DS's and I think that we will probably do BK or maybe McDonalds. Maybe KFC's grilled chicken? It was really good the other day. For dinner, I put frozen steaks in my crockpot with pepper gravy (lowfat version) and I can't wait to eat it. If only I can get over my cold then I will feel great!!

5 weeks pregnant today!!

Starting Weight of HCG diet: 132.8
Highest Weight after loading: 135.4 (+2.6)

Okay, if I can stay around 127 my entire first trimester then I will be happy!! That is 10 pounds less than I was a year ago. That means that I will be starting this pregnancy at a lower weight than my other two. My obgyn sees me on March 10th and at that time she will write down my official starting pregnancy weight :) She always checks my previous pregnancy starting weights to compare numbers. My starting weight with my first son was 141 and starting weight for my second son was 131. Now my starting weight will probably be 128 with all of my clothes on so I happy that I get smaller after each baby :) It must be that great HCG in my system!! I am now eating 800-1,000 calories and feeling great. I have been fighting a cold so I feel very tired today and almost called in sick to work but I need to build up my sick days for my maternity leave in Nov. I plan on being off from Nov. until Jan. 3rd, the day we come back from Christmas Break. My school is moving over the Christmas Break so when I come back to work, I will be in a new building!!

I had a great breakfast yesterday. A bite of a cinnamon roll, some angel food cake with strawberries and cool whip, a piece of banana bread, and some fresh fruit. It was delicious! I ate well the rest of the day. I went to KFC and had a grilled chicken wing and some green beans. For dinner, I ate the grilled chicken breast and some green beans. I had a wheat tortilla as a snack and some melba toast as a snack. I wasn't very hungry so I went to bed early. Today I am eating the same things except my own grilled chicken and a steak for dinner. My doctor said to continue to eat like this because it is healthy for the baby :) Veggies and protein!

4w5d weight

Today I am 4 weeks 5 days (4w5d) pregnant!! Okay, I tested again (it is just money, right??) and I still have the dark positive line on my pregnancy tests. I am so excited that it has finally happened again! Yesterday, I ate a Kashi bar again for breakfast. For lunch, I did my skillet butternut squash. It is so good! The batter is two eggs, a little bit of milk, two tablespoons of flour, and some salt. You cut the squash into 1/4 inch slices and then dip it into the batter and put it in the skillet until it is golden brown. The batter makes almost like a pancake coating and it is delicious! I ate my chicken breast with it. For dinner, I had steak and cabbage, my favorite!! Today I am going to try to eat good because I brought a bunch of baked goods to our Social Workers Appreciation brunch and so did everyone else. There is so much food!! Wish me luck!

Update: Went to the doctor today and blood work looks great. HCG levels nice and high, possibly twins, but we will wait and see. I am just praying for a healthy baby!! My weight with all of my clothes on at the doctor's was 126, so that was nice. I am still 127.6 at home! My doctor said that I can continue eating the way that I am eating with lots of veggies and protein. She said protein is the most important thing for the baby :)
