I should not be down 2 ounces. I ate everything yesterday! Yesterday was a stressful day and I worked from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. For lunch, I went to schlotzsky's and had their small veggie sandwich on wheat with lowfat ranch dressing and cheese for 300 calories. It was so good!! Then I started eating mini heath bars and chocolate truffles all day. For dinner I had a chicken salad from Sonic with no dressing and lots of salt and pepper. I ate more chocolate and an ice cream cone from McDonalds on the way home with my boys. I didn't even exercise but I was running around all day. I wish I could eat like that every day and have a steady weight gain!!

I have been drinking unsweet tea almost every morning with Splenda and today I am drinking sugar free sweet tea and it is delicious. Today I plan on eating a McDonalds salad for dinner and soup for lunch! I can't wait to see my baby on the ultrasound June 4th!!

I was down almost two pounds today! When I went to my obgyn yesterday, she prescribed me some Zofran to help with the nausea and vomiting and some Metamucil fiber bars to help with constipation :( I feel a lot better today!! I have been stressed with finishing my principal certification and I will be glad when this semester is over and I am done! Also at work, I finally turned in my extra hours and they messed up and put it on one of my co-wokers check! So it has been a mess trying to get my hours back and the lady I turn them into at the office is not very helpful!

I brought soup for lunch and I am working late so I brought some protein bars for snacks!!

I was the same today. Today for breakfast I had my Special K protein bar and then my Special K protein snack bar for my snack. We were really busy so I didn't have time to eat lunch before my doctor's appointment and I was starving!! I weighed 130.0 at the doctors (probably due to not having lunch and drinking tea in the morning!) and she said my weight loss was right on track. I gained a pound since my last visit 4 weeks ago. The baby measured right on target and the baby's heartbeat was 167 again. Sounds like a girl!! Right after my appointment, I went to Culvers and had their strawberry fields salad. 451 calories and 31 grams of fat because of the pecans. Who knew? No wonder I was up the last few times I ate it. I thought it only had 250 calories! For dinner I ate a salad (lettuce and carrots only) and three bites of chili and I am stuffed. My doctor gave me some meds for my nausea (Zofran) so hopefully that helps. Tomorrow I will be 13 weeks!!

I was up an entire pound today!! This is my highest so far. I felt good being at 130.something because then I felt like I was very close to the 120's!! I think I am up today because I didn't drink hardly any water yesterday and I grazed all day. I didn't eat big meals but I ate all day long. I still only went over my daily caloric intake by 50 calories. I had two mini donuts from Krispy Kreme for 90 calories each. My hubby is doing another round of HCG so he was loading all weekend and it made it hard for me to have all of that junk food in the house! We ordered pizza for dinner and I ate one slice of thin crust pizza with veggies only, no cheese. Then I ate two crusts from slices of my boys pizza that they didn't eat. That was all I had for dinner! For breakfast, I had a ham and cheese, no egg, english muffin from Braums and it was delicious! For dinner I ate a piece of grilled chicken that I made. I had rolled it with cheddar french fried onions and it was delicious. I ate a salad with it. I am ready to get back on track. I haven't been working out since my hubby has been off work. So far, I have gained 4 pounds this pregnancy and I am almost 13 weeks. With my last pregnancy, I had only gained two pounds at this time but oh well :)

No change in my weight today which is great because I am still in the 120s! I am trying not to sabatoge myself with cravings! Yesterday for dinner I ate a grilled chicken salad with no dressing at Sonic. For breakfast today I had my Special K protein bar. For lunch, I had the BBQ Chicken Salad at Panera without the BBQ Ranch sauce, only with regular BBQ sauce. It is only 180 calories. I had low fat chicken noodle soup to go with it. Tonight I made chicken enchiladas and used a wheat tortilla for mine with lowfat cheese. I ate one half cup of refried beans for 90 calories. It was all delicious and I feel stuffed and I still have 95 calories left to eat for the day!!

I hit my second trimester and I am still in the 120s!! That has been my goal all along!! My cravings have been getting pretty intense and in the second trimester, I am supposed to add 300 calories to my diet so that will be fun!! This morning I had a very intense craving for an omelet biscuit at Hardee's. I drive by Hardee's every morning on the way to work and the craving hit me like a ton of bricks! I had to literally not look at Hardee's! Last night, I ate Special K fiber cereal for dinner and a slice of bread with sugar free jelly. It was delicious! Today I had my Special K protein bar for breakfast and I brought a chicken sandwich for lunch with pretzels and a low carb yogurt. Tonight I will probably make chicken enchiladas again. I make them with jalapeno cheddar tortillas and they are so so good!! Yay to be in the 120s still!!

Still in the 120's with one more day to go before I hit 12 weeks! I worked out yesterday and then sat on the couch and did school work all night! For dinner, I had a 4 oz steak with a salad and one slice of Sara Lee soft and smooth 100% wheat. It is the best bread ever! For a snack, I had a Carbmaster yogurt from Dillions that only has 4 carbs and 12 grams of protein. They are so good and they are only 2 for 88 cents!!

I gained a pound and a half!! I felt heavy this morning and my legs felt like bricks when I stood up on my scale. We went out to eat all weekend and every day I had the Strawberry Fields salad from Culvers! It was delicious. Today I had my Special K protein bar for breakfast, the double chocolate kind. I had the South Beach Diet whipped almond bar for a snack. I went out to eat AGAIN for lunch at Sonic. I had their grilled chicken salad for 248 calories. Yummy. Tonight I will probably eat a sandwich since I didn't have any bread for lunch. I try to do only one meal with bread. I have to work out tonight. I took a nap yesterday and didn't work out. I am almost to the second trimester. I will be on Wednesday!! I am wearing my new size 4 pants from Ann Taylor Loft and I had to cinch the belt :) I look forward to wearing them again after the baby!!

Well I ate at fast food restaurants all day yesterday and didn't work out and I was down again!! TMI but I had been constipated too but not anymore so I think that really helped :) Yesterday, I went to McDonalds and had an egg mcmuffin with no egg just canadian bacon and cheese. For lunch I had McDonalds Classic Grilled Chicken Sandwich on honey wheat with no mayo. I had two mini three musketeer bars as snacks. For dinner I went to Culvers and had their new strawberry fields salad. Whenever I eat a salad with fruit and pecans (like at Panera and Houlihans), I am always down! This salad had hot grilled chicken, strawberries slices, pecans, and feta cheese and it was soooo good!! For desert, I had a small ice cream cone from McDonalds!!

Last night I tried on some new clothes and I am down to a size 4 in everything after doing the HCG diet. It flattened my stomach!! I feel good that I have that tool to use again after I have the baby to get down to my prepregnancy weight and then some! Yesterday, I had Sonic all day. For lunch and dinner, I had a Sonic grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo. I didn't work out either. Today I have had an egg mcmuffin with no egg for breakfast from McD's. For lunch I had a McD's grilled chicken classic sandwich on wheat with no mayo. It is still 370 calories. I had a 100 calorie pack of cookies for a snack. I am drinking lots of water today!!

Sigh..........the 130's are almost here. My starting pregnancy weight was 127 so I have gained around 2.8 pounds in three months. The doctor asked me my starting weight and I couldn't remember so I told her 128 but actually it is 127. My weight has went up and down this last week from 127 to 129.8. I feel heavier in my mid-section and my bottom stomach is really hard from my uterus growing. I am hoping to gain under 20 pounds with this baby. I gained almost 60 pounds with my first and 18 pounds with my second. I get discouraged when I hear people tell me they were back to their prepregnancy weight within three weeks of their c-section!! I plan on doing the hcg diet again after the baby is born and I am done breastfeeding! Today I went to McD and had an English muffin with canadian bacon and cheese, along with an unsweet tea. I didn't realize that tea has caffeine in it so I will have to watch my caffeine the rest of the day! I am going to eat a salad for lunch from Dillions and then eat light for dinner!

Well I am still in the 120's and tomorrow I will be 11 weeks pregnant!! Only one more week after that and I will be in the second trimester. My goal is to stay in the 120's until then!! I haven't been hungry and then when I am, I am starving! Then as soon as I eat, I feel sick!! I can't wait until all of that stops! They say that 12 weeks is the peak of hcg levels and progesterone levels and then it start declining. That is why people feel so good in their second trimester. I am almost there!! I have been eating my South Beach Fiber Fit bar for breakfast and only a Special K snack bar for my snack. For lunch, I keep it around 300 - 350 calories. For dinner, I eat pretty much whatever I want. Today I am going to eat some beef pot roast and carrots. I am exercising 40 minutes daily for 5 days so that has helped!!

I don't know how I jumped back to 127! I thought I would be up!! Yesterday, I took my hubby out to dinner for his birthday. We went to Houlihan's and I had the Grilled Chicken and Pecan salad. Whenever I get a salad with pecans, I am down! I had them put the garlic ranch on the side and leave off the bacon. It was a HUGE salad and I ate half of the bread. We had ice cream there and I had a few bites as I fed it to my 2 year old. When we got home, we had a cake and I had a piece but it was about the size of my thumb. Then I ate some of my angel food strawberry shortcake, a big bowl, so I would not eat more cake. I can't believe I am down. I didn't throw up at all yesterday but today the baby didn't like the chicken enchilada that I ate so that didn't stay down :( Things are looking good until I hit my second trimester!!

I got home late and then went to bed!

I should be down four ounces after throwing up all evening!! I made hamburgers for my boys and then I made mine. By the time that I made mine, I was SOOO hungry that I didn't let it cook long enough. As I bit into it, I realized that it wasn't done in the middle!! I went ahead and ate around the middle and felt okay. However, it wasn't long before I started feeling sick and I started throwing up!! This lasted all evening! One of my co-workers made me a lowfat strawberry shortcake so I can't wait to eat it today!!

Then for lunch, I ran to Sonic and got my grilled chicken sandwich on wheat with apples. For dinner, I made a 3 oz ground beef patty (85% fat free) with wheat bread and miracle whip and made it into a hamburger!! It was really good! My boys didn't eat all of their hamburgers so I did have two more bites of meat but I won't count that :) It seems like the beef is high calorie when I looked it up but oh well. I am done eating for the day!!

Today I am not hungry at all! However, I have a cold and I took some of my son's children's Tyelonol this morning. Last night I had my quesadilla which always makes me lose! Today I had a South Beach chocolate protein bar. My snack was five melba toasts and a Cabot cheese. For lunch, I am eating a Lean Cuisine that is chicken and veggies along with a Yoplait parfait yogurt. For dinner, I am making chicken enchiladas :) Yummy!!

129.4 is the highest that I have been in more than a month!! My goal was to stay around 128 until my second trimester which is two weeks away! I stayed within my calorie limits yesterday but 200 of my calories were chocolate marshmellow eggs so I am sure that extra sugar did it. I worked out all weekend and today. Today at work they had a birthday breakfast and I ate 5 strawberries with a tsp. of coolwhip and one bite of quiche. I had already had my protein bar or I would've eaten more! I went ahead and ate my melba toast as a snack. For lunch I had a Grilled Chicken Sandwich at Sonic with apple fries and a diet sprite. For dinner I did a quesadilla with my whole wheat tortilla, chicken, and lowfat cheese. I have been eating that almost every night and I love it. TMI but I have also been constipated over the last few days so that hasn't helped :( Overall, I can't wait to get into the second trimester!! Next doctor's appt. on April 27th!!

I was up a pound today. I knew I would be because I have been feeling very bloated. With this pregnancy, I am feeling morning sickness ALL throughout the day. I feel miserable! I never had morning sickness like this with my other two. I feel like I am going to throw up right now! I haven't actually thrown up that much but I just feel like it. Today I ate some egg beaters and turkey bacon for breakfast. For a snack I had two cinnamon graham crackers. For lunch, I ate a 4 ounce steak and some seasoned taco meat with a sprinkle of cheese. For a snack I had 4 marshmellow eggs for 140 calories. The rest of the family ate Krispy kremes!! I took one small bite off of my hubby's glazed one and then stopped. I felt queasy!! Our pantry is stuffed with Easter candy!! I saw that Krispy Kreme is getting a new donut called the Chocolate Fudge Donut in mid-April and I will have to try it!! So far my cravings have been donuts and fruit!! I will hit 10 weeks pregnant on Wednesday and I can't wait. Almost to my second trimester. The countdown to Oct. 27th has begun!!

Back to 128.0! I haven't seen that in 3 weeks :) I am very paranoid about what I am eating because I was blasted on the pregnancy boards for not eating around 2,000 calories! I think that it is more important to eat the proper nutrients than the number of calories that I consume. That is what my doctor said too :) I have been eating from all food groups but it only equals around 1,000 calories. Today for breakfast I had my South Beach protein bar and for a snack I had some cheese and melba toasts. For lunch, I ate a grilled chicken on wheat bread sandwich from Sonic with apple fries and a Diet Sprite. It was delicious!! For dinner, I will probably eat eggs and turkey bacon. That sounds good right now even though I am stuffed!! I will make sure to really monitor my calories and make sure I have the proper nutrients every day!!

I was the same again today. Burger King must be the answer :) Yesterday I had my usual Kashi dark chocolate coconut bar for breakfast and then the rest of my chicken chili for lunch. For dinner, someone came by to see our house (we are trying to sell it) so I took the boys to Burger King. They were begging for it!! I got a Whopper Jr. with no mayo with apple fries and a diet coke. It was delicious!! It filled me up too because I didn't even eat anything else when I got home. I can barely squeeze into my pants even though I haven't gained any weight. My lower belly is now hard and protuding since my uterus is now the size of a grapefruit!! I upped my calories from 800 to 900 since I am getting closer to that second trimester and I don't want to eat too few calories; however, I don't want to gain a bunch either. The baby measured about 5 days small on the ultrasound so I don't want the baby to continually be small even though they told me to not eat any extra calories during the first trimester. Oh well, I will figure it out!!
