Week 24

Well here we are, Week 24, and I am realizing ONE thing I don't like about being pregnant. See, I get migraines...bad ones...tension headaches...bad ones. Nothing seems to alleviate the pain but pain killers. I can't take them now. I'm sorry, but Tylenol Regular strength just don't cut it!

I love my little ducky, he is so special to me already and totally worth the pain. But, it doesn't mean i can't complain! I had a very sleepless night last night because my neck and shoulder were pounding so terribly I could not sleep. Saw a chiropractor today and a little bit of relief. I don't want to keep chowing down Tylenol, but what else do I do? I used my little hand held massager, I used a "heating" thing, nothing worked....bleh!

But then I think, well if I could actually take something stronger there is someone SOOOOO special to me already who wouldn't be here. So ya know what, I'm willing to take the extra aches and pains to be a good Mama Duck!!!!!

Heavy Heart

I am so saddened today by such devastating news. The brother of good friends of mine was tragically taken from us too early. A 31 year old husband, father, brother, son, friend had a tragic accident. He is leaving behind a beautiful wife, an energetic daughter and a spitting image son. They were also expecting a third little "nut" on the way.

I cannot even fathom what they are going through. I pray for comfort and strength for them as they go through this crazy, hectic, terrible time. I pray that family and friends are there for them and can help them through this.

I have been praying all day for God to give them some kind of explanation for this tragic event. That God gives them comfort and understanding and that they can remain strong in their faith.

I just pray that they know how much he loved them, adored them and would have done anything for them.

Blessings, Love and Faith go out to the King Family.

Week 12/13

Well, I have not written in quite a while...and there is a reson for that....

WE ARE EXPECTING OUR FIRST BABY!!!!

woohoo!!!!! we are beyond elated with this unexpected turn of events. Friday is my entering into my 13th week. Little did I know when I started my "weight loss journey" that I was actually tracking my pregnancy!!!

So I guess my little postings will probably be turned into a pregnany blog lol

YIPPE!!!!! :)

Week 4 & 5

Well weeks four and five are not going as planned either. This just isn't panning out well!!! grrrr!!! but I do have a good excuse this time. Just won't tell ya what it is because it's personal! :) So I am not continuing to run, but I am continuing to walk. I would like to try and walk daily...at least 30 minutes. I should be able to do this seeing as I only have ONE job to work over the summer months!!!!

I have not weighed myself lately...keep forgetting and then I eat breakfast. So i shall try tomorrow to weigh myself to see how I maintained over my vacation. I did succeed in my not stopping for fast food burgers and fries while travelling! Packing a lunch certainly helped that! Woohoo for small victories!!

Until next week....

Week Three

ugh...so I have not been so great this week.

I had a medical issue that made it extremely painful to do my regular running. I also find that when I am sulking in my pain I eat too much!!! So this week I am up. I now have 7.2lbs to reach my closest 10s group.

I am also going on vacation this week (home to the Sault), so I am hoping that I don't overindulge up there and come back needing to lose 10 lbs!!!!! I am bringing my iPod and shoes and going to try and do Week Two of the C25K program again. I am also planning ahead and packing a lunch for the trip so that when I get hungry at lunch time I have a healthy lunch and don't have to resort to the regular Wendy's/Tim Horton's that are the only rest stops.

So, this week I plan to run 3 times, attempt to eat more veggies and not go overboard on the sweet little indulgences in life... wish me luck!
