Health Group- Year 2, week 22

Well, I did my weights and physical therapy on Thursday. I’ve noticed that Thursdays seem to be a good day for me. I didn’t do anything that would upset my ankle, but I was still able to do a lot. I overdid it however, I felt some pain in my abdomen afterwards, so next time, I’ll work it a little easier.

For the past two years, between Halloween and Thanksgiving, I’ve gone completely off of all sugar and refined carbs such as white flour, white bread, etc. I have always felt great benefit from it, and it seems to help me get through the rest of the “holiday food” season with self control, eating in moderation instead of the Inhaling Sugar Monster I am capable of becoming. Well, I don’t think I can do it this year, but I am in need of a change, so I think I’m going to try to get into the “spirit” of it and do the best I can. I’m on my 3rd day, and I already feel better. The problem is that most non-sugar foods upset my tummy, but I’m trying to find a happy compromise.

I didn’t weight myself this morning before breakfast, but yesterday I was 229.5, so that’ll be our official pregnant weight for the week.

This Wednesday we get our ultrasound to find out the gender of the baby, and we’re very excited about that.

How was your week?
