Hi all, I was just reading something about Thanksgiving and all the plans and meals and stuff and it makes me glad that I'm Canadian ... ours is over and done with so that temptation is gone for me. Good luck to all my American MFPers with that.

I just got back from the gym ... I love it there ... such a great atmosphere and all of the staff seem great so far. I did a Zumba class ... it was way fun. Tomorrow is my first assessment and then I'll get set up to learn how to use the equipment and balance ball and stuff. It's nice to have something new to get me back on track (although the Cora's breakfast after the workout wasn't exactly the healthiest choice ... but ... yummy). The weather here is beautiful and hopefully it will be the same tomorrow ... my friend and I will do a big hike after I'm done at my assessment if all goes as planned. Happy weekend all ... talk to you soon.

Just finished my first round of delivering mail at work and I'm taking a little break. Thought I'd jump in here and give a quick update. I had my assessment done at the gym yesterday and all in all it wasn't too bad. No real surprises ... I need to work on my upper body strength but overall I'm of average fitness ... not too shabby ... thought I was in the less then average fitness level :happy: I did get one surprise yesterday that made me love my trainer ... all my life I haven't been able to do a sit up. She told me it's because of my apple body shape ... she had me lie down with my knees up and I tried to do the sit up but it just wasn't happening ... then she handed me a 10 lb. ball to hold in my hands over my head and told me to try again. I thought she was crazy, if I can't do it with no weight in my hands how can I do it with 10 extra pounds??? Well it's all in the momentum ... my torso was too heavy compared to my arms and once I added extra weight to my arms the sit ups happened ... I was so excited I did 10 of them with ease!!!! Why didn't anyone show me this before? Autumn (my trainer) said it's because she's the best trainer in the world ... frankly ... I agree. This picture shows what I did except I had my feet on the floor.

So I took a pregnancy test this weekend and it came out positive!!! :noway: I am still in shock about it, going to the dr. today to confirm it. But I just had my daughter in April, and we're sooo not prepared for another one right now. I was still nursing and I thought my hubby and I were careful... obviously not careful enough! And I still had 18 lbs. to get to my pre-pregnancy weight from the first baby!! I have NO IDEA how far along I am b/c my periods been outta whack since I had my baby. Anyway, at least it makes sense as far as my weight loss goes. Don't get me wrong, a baby is wonderful and of course we're so excited, just a little overwhelmed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! My first 2 were really close together...not as close as yours. My oldest was born in early April and I found out right after Christmas I was pregnant. I was still nursing almost exclusively when I got pregnant. Enjoy babies are great!

Thank you!! Yeah, that whole rumor that you can't get pregnant while nursing is COMPLETELY untrue!! :laugh: I am happy for the babies - it's so great having a sibling close in age - my sister and I are 2 years apart and we're best friends!

YAY YAY YAY!!! I love Babies!! Way to go!!!

My doctor was surprised that I got pregnant while nursing. I thought that he would know better. They even warned us in Lamaze that nursing was not a form of birth control....I found a different doctor!:laugh: :laugh:
