    Anything else you'd like to share:

    Hi everyone! I had been following this group in the forums casually after I found out I was pregnant but wanted to wait until the Dr confirmed to jump in. Then the morning sickness hit me like a train and I wasn't feeling very fit or fabulous, but I think things are starting to look up and so I want to focus on taking better care of myself and this baby. Last year I lost about 30 lbs, with the hopes that my next pregnancy would be smoother and just healthier. I had gestational diabetes the first time, and morning sickness lasted all day and the whole nine months! Looking forward to getting to know you all!

    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: right now I'm still only running like I always have (the only exercise I really LOVE to do!) I'd like to start doing yoga or pilates, but I'm still researching.
    Anything else you'd like to share: I was three pounds from my goal weight when I got pregnant, and I have to admit I spent my first trimester not working out at all and eating whatever I wanted (when I wasn't sick). I'm so unhappy with how I've been treating my body I decided I have GOT to go back to how I was living, and I needed some motivation!
