Well still my biggest symptom of pregnancy is super exhaustion! It doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I am getting I have days where I just feel tired constantly. I know I was tired when I was pregnant with Zelda but I don't remember being this tired. I guess one big difference is when I was pregnant with Zelda I didn't have Zelda! And now I have this happy, hyper two year old jumping on me if I try to rest on the couch for a bit! So anyway I'm dealing with that, but although I'm tired I have managed to exercise most days.
Tuesday: Ran 5 miles
Wednesday: Insanity Upper Body weight training
Thursday: Ran 3 miles.
Tomorrow's Friday and I plan to workout; either weights, walking or calisthenics, we'll see what I feel like doing tomorrow!
To keep track of my nutrition and exercise habits during my adventures through pregnancy with the goal of inspiring women everywhere to take their health into their own hands!

Baby # 2
Yesterday, Wed. Oct. 22, I took a pregnancy test, it was positive! Woohoo, first month of trying so I was expecting it to be positive! Super excited, I just want to tell everyone and yes I have told a few people. It is however, early so I know I need to try to keep quiet a little bit longer. The main symptom I'm having is exhaustion, just sleepy all the time. I am doing my best to not become lazy, Monday I ran 2 miles, Tuesday I ran/walked 8 miles, it took me an hour and 40 minutes so yeah I was definitely taking it easy. Today I ran/walked 3 miles. I hope I get some of my vigor and energy back soon because this is rough but I guess if it's my biggest symptom I have it pretty easy.
Food that sounds delicious lately is anything vegan, well vegan plus cheese I guess. Which is technically vegetarian but I am trying to cut the cheese out, it just tastes so good! This doesn't mean that I don't like meat anymore, I do, but on a day to day basis thinking about what to cook for dinner, pretty much anything vegan sounds great! When I was pregnant with Zelda I was more concerned with getting enough protein and thought vegetarian wasn't even enough to cut it. I am more knowledgeable now and I know that even vegans get plenty of protein even if they're pregnant. So anyway my point is I'm not worried about that this time, I am just going to eat as healthy and as vegan as I want to! It is my goal to be much more careful with the junk food, I got lazy last time, but this time I want to make sure everything I feed myself and this baby is quality!
