I'm not pregnant anymore. We went in for our 8 week ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. I was devastated. First miscarriage. I took the medication for the miscarriage last Thursday night since it wasn't happening on it's own. I'm hoping to be pregnant again soon. I'm trying to look on the positive side of things, whatever side that is. I can continue to lose weight, and can get in better shape. We got our elliptical the day after we found out so I've been using that and feeling really good.
Good news:
Getting rid of more weight!
Yeah! I am down to 207.5. During the few weeks I was pregnant, it dropped to 208 then after the m/c it jumped up to 214. I fell off the wagon for a bit there and just didn't care. I then stopped and thought, crap.... this will be the end if I can't stop this. So I did. I'm back down to 207.5, fairly quickly. I think a lot of the weight had to do with the m/c and that's why it went down so quickly. Whatever the case may be, it's down. Plus I'm trying to do 20 min a day on the elliptical. My husband told me that I should try for 5 days not 7. I told him if my goal i 7, I'll do 5. I'll naturally miss days, like Wednesday night when I got invited to a girls night last minute and got home after 10pm. But then there are nights like last night that while my son is eating dinner, I can jump on an do 20 minutes.
We got the elliptical from Costco and I'm loving it. It has the iFit technology, which I'm not using yet, but will. iFit are little memory cards you can stick in the machine with pre-setup workouts. However, before I get those, the machine has a few workouts already set-up. There are two based on calorie goals, 275 and 525 (i think). I've been doing the one for 275 calories in 20 min. It automatically changes the resistance and tells me the goal for the rpm so I'm running hard, then medium, then hard... it's great. Love it.
I think my next item to wish for is a weight set.
I'm so excited that I've almost gotten rid of 50 pounds! FIFTY POUNDS! Holy Cow! That sounds insane! My son is 27 lbs so it will almost be like two of him. And he feels heavy just one of him.
I'm finally starting to feel smaller when I look in the mirror. I even had to go out and buy new underwear. I'm hoping to hit the 50lb mark by the end of the year, or by the middle of the December. (Unless I'm pregnant!) :)
