I've been walking dogs everyday, lifting occasionally, and just trying to stay mostly active. The lifts were cut way back, but other than that I'm staying about as active as I was pre-preggers, but if I need to take a break, I do. I've noticed I seem to pull stuff a little easier and get out of breath much sooner.

Ack! That posted huge! Trying to resize....

I've had insomnia on and off for most of this pregnancy, usually the up at 3 a.m. variety. Sleepy Time tea before bed seems to help a bit.

That's in the comments under the original article posted. ETA: Okay, I'm all caught up now.

^^^This is exactly why I like seeing these kinds of pics from fit moms. I was told all my life that I could never ever under any circumstances have a decent body after having babies, ever again. This is the story society likes to continually tell, especially to thin people who didn't starve themselves to get that way. That…

What I am actually jealous about in this pic is how perfect her nursery is. I have sooooo much remodeling to finish in the next three months.

I'm expecting to bounce back relatively quickly, but I don't know about 4 days quickly, haha. I find this sort of thing motivational, myself. I think it's unseemly how the haters put their insecurities out there, but if that helps them, meh. We all have to get by somehow.

Two separate Turkey Day celebrations from last year, and I didn't even bother logging on the actual family Thanksgiving on Thursday last year: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/HealthyBodySickMind?date=2012-11-23 TL;DR: 4160 for the day; 1118 and 1932 for "The Meals"…

I'll also say that besides the $$$s, I haven't slept in my own bed since the accident. I've slept on the floor next to her because she can't be in the bed right now (her wound is draining and it would be too messy), and she requires constant supervision to keep from tearing her stitches out. I've also taken time off work,…

My girl, Mischief, has had three surgeries in the last month. I've spent more than $2000 on her for those surgeries and the care and medication surrounding those surgeries. We're not out of the woods yet, but I can't imagine not spending that to fix her up.

I helped with housework as a kid. I was definitely not trained to notice dust, dirt, or clutter in the process. Unfortunately, my husband does. He's the control freak about that, so he does the majority of the cleaning. I'm the control freak on nutrition, so I do the majority of the cooking. It's part of maintaining a…

I also wanted to make sure this didn't get lost. People like to belittle the accomplishments of others. I fail as a woman on being "self-deprecating". I also fail at being "meek," for that matter.

I replied to this once already, but didn't really do a good job of making any kind of point. Sometimes that happens. I ramble. Anyhow, why did I read 30 pages of people arguing about this? I think it's because that image struck me, became important. Why? I don't usually go in much for fitspo. (Although, the mfp thread is…

This is so crazy, how women tell each other this, how society tells women this. I came to mfp for a similar reason. This myth is so pervasive, that a woman that has had kids or "over a certain age" is just going to be carrying around extra weight as a matter of course. So, I became interested in my own fitness/nutrition…

The view is always way better when I'm sharing it with my girl, Mischief:

I'm usually one of those that jumps in and says, "mine" on these threads. At 19 weeks pregnant, I'm still going to say, "mine". I love being pregnant! I never thought I'd be so damn excited about a growing belly, but it's awesome, and don't get me started on the boobs. I've never had boobs like these before. Although…

I got a direct message on Twitter for some weight loss thing from a friend who knows I'm pregnant. I called her and told her she had probably been hacked, since she just sent a pregnant woman who had never been overweight in her life a weight loss ad. She said she hadn't been on her Twitter account in more than a year.

I saw this one this morning. I love it when people put so much effort into a prank.

Thanks! I'm very excited about it!

I'm currently making my own hCG right now, too!

I didn't figure an exact peg would be possible, but I was doing the best I could to find pics. That certainly sounds reasonable. Anyhow, thanks for your time!

I'm almost 18 weeks and very excited about my growing belly! I never dreamed I'd be so excited about that belly popping out there! There is a group on here that may be of interest to you: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1903-fit-fabulous-pregnant ETA: Oh, I didn't see this was an old post that got bumped.

Very cool!

Oh, good, we rolled.
