@samlovesthesnow I got back last night
April sheet is ready for everyone to use it now!
Also I gained 4 lbs on my 1 week trip LOL. I was trailing a bit behind my 25 lb gain goal, now I'm a little ahead. But I don't mind that so much since the suggested range is 25-35 so I have a lot of buffer any way. And the baby has been kicking so much

I am a little worried I'm going to get food poisoning though. Some damn fast food burger joint served me raw ground beef on my last day on my trip (steak is one thing since it hasn't been exposed to air so as long as the surface is seared it's generally safe, but ground meat!?). WHY DO PEOPLE EAT THINGS THAT HAVE A 100% CHANGE OF E COLI CONTAMINATION!? Seriously, Canada seems to be the only country in the world that has clued into that. Usually fast food places don't serve raw ground beef though, they pump things out and usually completely well done so I didn't notice until it was too late. So I will be talking to my midwife about that on Tuesday and checking for symptoms. And it's so much more dangerous when one is pregnant too Otherwise though the trip was really good

And... this probably wasn't the right thread to put that in haha.

So. Goals for this month for me:

Starting weight April 2, 2017 = 155.4 lb
GW on April 29, 2017 = 158.3 lb
3 times a week for exercising. More if I can.

Happy April! It's finally stopped raining every moment of every day! We are 5.5" over average for rain/snow this winter, most of that coming as rain in March.

Start weight 4/1: 268.6
Goal weight 4/30: 258.0
Fitness goal: Average 10k steps/day and 2 yoga sessions/week

Weigh In:

April 1st: 203

Goal:

April 30th: 199

I think they say you don't need to gain any weight in the first trimester (or only a little?), so maintenance sounds about right @jennamae102. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been awhile! I can imagine it would be a huge change, try and enjoy it whilst the rest of us try and squeeze every last ounce out of our reduced calories

Yup, I heard 1 - 4 lbs is what is expected. Though some women gain more in the first and second and then really taper out in the third, so it can still be pretty individual. I maintained during the first trimester, so far mine has been fairly textbook.

Great job Kayla. Im jealous of your sleep though...mine says I was awake/restless for 246 minutes last night!! Sunday night was sleep for 3 hours, 22 minutes and awake/restless for 244 minutes. That's HALF THE NIGHT. Ugh so tired zzZZzz
I'm about to sleep in the guestroom, my hubby keeps waking me up while rolling around >.<

Wow huge day @WifiresGettingFit!!! I find the hardest target is the 250 hour with my desk job, time flies when you're under the pump. Having said that it is exactly why I got a Fitbit so it would remind me to move...work in progress

oh.and feel free to add me to your regular list of "friends!"

Wow @WifiresGettingFit great job!!
@Kirstie155 that sounds absolutely miserable! Maybe short term solution would be sleeping somewhere else and long term might be investing in a king size bed? Sleeping problems are SO frustrating.
@1fit_mamma I'm right there with you on the 250 per hour! I can only manage it on weekends. I wish my fitbit were fancy enough to remind me. My husband got the Charge HR 2 and it's really interactive. I guess I'll upgrade when this one bites the dust.
@krizaten33 I like your April motto! And yeah I think being on a different schedule from hubby could be relaxing. I kind of love it when I have the house to myself and the freedom to go work out after work instead of figuring out what is for dinner!

Blech, well I totally bombed in March. I got sick the last couple days which threw my off both my eating and exercise routines, and now the scale is looking a little scary. I'm sure it's a lot of water retention and will hopefully go away quickly, but it's still a little upsetting to see my progress disappear so quickly.

But, onwards and upwards!

Apr. 6 - 198.0

April Goal: 190.0

Crap!! It has not ever given me a notification like that during this whole pregnancy. Looks like I really need to focus on eating more calories. Avocados and cashews, here I come.

3/24 - 162
4/7 - 162.5

Up half a pound, I'll take it. I have felt so strange this week. I feel like i'm on the verge of nausea every day, but haven't actually gotten sick. I just feel uncomfortably full and don't really want to eat anything. I've had lots of ginger ale, sparkling water and crackers, also tried some tums, but nothing has really helped. Hoping this will pass? Not wanting to eat is not something I am used to lol.

Hahaha 2068!! Love that is it even bothers to tell you that lol. @jennamae102 it does feel weird, I remember feeling like I was hungover every day! It definitely passes, I felt amazing by 14/15 weeks- I think even better than compared when I wasn't pregnant because I was eating so well and not drinking alcohol.

@VeryKatie that is too funny! Eat those healthy fats!!

@Kirstie155 Yes, I have my doc appt scheduled for 4/25. I actually starting feeling better yesterday and feel nearly back to normal today. Yesterday I hit 6 weeks, so maybe that was a week 5 symptom for me? I'm so hoping to be one of the lucky ladies who doesn't experience bad nausea for an extended period of time!
