Pains and Exercise
Well, I took yesterday off completely from the gym. My ankle was still hurting from my spill the other day, and I couldn’t swim w/ my knee skinned. My ankle is better today, so I’ll be going to the gym after work tonight. I still didn’t go to the pool though. I don’t want to end up getting an infection in my knee. I figure it will be healed up by the weekend or so. Until then, I’ll just be going to the gym.
My eating has still been mostly on track. It isn’t perfect, but considering the circumstances, I’m not going to complain too much. My will of iron gets overruled sometimes by raging hormones. I still win most of the battles though. My mood swings concerning food have settled down. The idea of a salad no longer makes me cringe. I do need to go get some shopping done tonight. The cupboards are bare!!
I have a doc appt on Friday. Hopefully this one doesn’t get cancelled too! He was sick last week and I got rescheduled. My total weight gain to date since conception is 2 lbs still. I’m at 12 weeks tomorrow. Not too shabby I suppose. It is much better than it would be if I wasn’t actively trying to keep it maintained. I feel like I’m big as a whale already! Belly is getting rounder and I feel clumsy already.
Well take care of yourself and be careful with that ankle and knee at the gym! Don’t worry about that tummy it’s suppose to be big and round that way you know you have a healthy baby growing inside! Best to you with the doctor’s appt.
I’m so excited for you!! and so proud that you are trying to keep a good hold on the weight while being pregnant. Definitely a challenge I would say. You start feeling better and keep us updated with the doctor appointment!!
2 lbs that is great. I ended up with 6 lbs at 16 weeks. Sounds like you are right on track. Great job! Good luck with your doctors appointment.
You are doing great, be careful with that knee!

2 lbs is great. Your baby will be healthy. Keep up the good work and hope the knees and ankle gets better.
Sorry you’re not feeling your best and I’m so glad that all you got from your fall was a sore knee and a scrape…in other words, I’m glad you’re A-ok!
