Big News and Curves

So... There is actually a perfectly legitimate reason I have been highly neglectful of my blog. I'm pregnant, and have been since April, but didn't tell my family until mid June, hence couldn't really post about it here because they're my primary readers. Before anyone gets all crazy, yes my surgeon is aware and I'm taking good care of myself. I've been hovering at about 198-200 lbs for the last couple months. Which is weird. The docs I've talked to don't wan't me losing weight, but I can see my face and arms and upper body in general getting smaller still, so the fact that though I seem to be getting smaller, but my weight is staying the same for now (I'm 17 weeks along) seems like a good thing.

I've moved to chicago with my fiance (yup, other big news) and although I've only been here a week and we have no furniture, I love it. Walking everywhere, and on Monday I discovered that not half a block from my apartment is a Curves. So, I joined up and have already gone wed, thurs, and fri. This is all in addition to walking 2+ miles a day, 45 minutes of yoga a day and whatever else happens in my life. Foodwise, now that I'm not at home anymore, I'm back to three simple meals a day. Love everyone at home, but my goodness, with so much food in that house, its harder than anything to not snack.

As I've currently got no job, I am hoping I'll be able to maintain this blog a bit more frequently. And oh yeah! Happy late surgery birthday to my mom and me. Our new bellies are now just over a year old. woot!
