Officially stopped working out at my favorite gym temporarily. After my scare a few weeks ago, I had to think what was best for my baby. I had to toss the idea of having a killer body during pregnancy to the side and think about my little one. I placed my gym membership on hold and seriously have so many fearful thoughts running through my head now. I guess this means I am going to just blow up and get huge, right? I mean, I will easily put on extra weight because of this decision right? Well that is solely up to me. I have to be real with myself, I haven’t been eating all that good these last few months. Sure I eat plenty of veggies and fruits but I have also been enjoying perhaps a little too much pizza, Mexican and Thai food. Not overindulging, just eating way more than I did before. It’s been tough to eat my normal healthy go-to items. The idea of grilled chicken and salad just don’t do it for me these days. I would much rather have a cheese enchilada, pizza, or pad thai. But now that I am not going to be training at the gym the way I have been for the last 9 months all these poor food choices MUST come to a screeching halt. There is no way I am falling off the deep end. At least not with food.

So I am going to make a promise to myself and my little one in my belly. We are going to get right with our food choices, even if she tries to convince me to eat that slice of pizza or go for that scoop of ice-cream, I am going to need to show her who’s boss and opt for the not so much fun salad or piece of grilled chicken. Yup, I am going to have to lay down the law. I really have no excuse besides pure laziness if I don’t at least make it to my community gym that is literally located steps away from my front door. And since my workouts won’t be nearly as intense as they were before, I will need to go every single day to get in some cardio and light weights. It can’t be all that difficult to do this on my own. I can do this and I will do this. The last thing I want is to return to the gym after the baby and have everyone see a massive weight gain out of me. I would feel much better if I could walk through those doors and surprise everyone that I kept up my end of the bargain by working out on my own and eating healthy. Operation pregnancy boot camp at home is in full effect!
