Why I won’t be losing any more weight & I’m back to sharing my body again.

Well, the past three months have certainly been a journey. I managed to lose 15 pounds, and I’ve completely changed the way I eat. I’ve also exercised more than I have in a very long time.

But this weight loss journey is going to be postponed for now.

Why?

Because we are expecting. I’m pregnant. Again. With baby #5. 🙂

I found out just over a week ago, although I’d been suspecting it for the past few weeks and have taken quite a few Dollar Store pregnancy tests. (So thankful for those $1 tests!)

I’m already feeling the typical pregnancy symptoms….nausea, fatigue, and bloating like I’ve never experienced with any of my other pregnancies. I’m fine with the nausea and fatigue, but I’m really disliking the bloated feeling. Ugh. I’m eating plenty of vegetables, and I’m hoping that taking more walks is going to help the bloated feeling to subside. Thankfully, it seems like the weather is finally going to be staying nice, so, those walks will be a lot easier to get in with the kids. Another zoo trip is also in our near future which helps us all get in quite a bit of walking.

Our family is thrilled that another child is going to be added to our family. I know it’s going to be a challenge – especially if we have another wild boy – but the Lord is with us and will guide us through.

I’m personally hoping to make this pregnancy my healthiest yet. I want to get in plenty of exercise and continue eating a healthy diet. I’m thinking about tracking my pregnancy weight here on the blog, but I’m not 100% sure if I want to do that just yet…..

But when our new bundle is born, I want to resume the weight loss journey for sure. Until then…I’m pregnant.
