Risty's Diary (Christina)

Andy - Are you saying I'm loud??? LOL... I so am!

Downtown - I don't think she'll join cause she hates spending money, however she'll buy random crap online... lol

MJB - Thanks!!!

Obscure - That totally works (telling yourself you want to get and get into the motions). I find that if I get dressed in my workout clothes even though I don't want to work out, I'll just get dressed in them and because I do that I figure well, I'm dressed for it, might as well workout. lol

Today - Well, I have been SOOOOO distracted lately. I just haven't been able to focus on my weight loss. It didn't help that my sisters got sick and could go to the gym with me (they're my ride) but now my hubby is sick and I'm not feeling well either. I think I'm catching what they had and let me tell you, it's horrible! It takes you out for at least a week and I feel my throat hurting and feeling just drained.

I really wish I could just get rid of my brain for a while! I need to not focus on what I have been focusing on and focus on my weight loss. It's hard to explain! I've just been spending so much time on other things that I'm neglecting my weightloss. I have to try to set the other things to the back of my mind and start putting weightloss to the front. I'm just having a hard time with that.

Hey! Take a few hours this weekend and figure out what is stressing you out. Take the time to focus on WHATEVER you can to help resolve some of those conflicts. Having a clear mind will help you go a long way on staying on track.

Other than that, that illness sounds really bleh. Here is hoping you GET BETTER SOON!

I get that way too girl! It comes and goes and is hard to stay focused 100%.

Just take some time to rest and you'll be back at it! See you on FB meanwhile.
 
I know what's stressing me out but there's nothing I can do to not be stressed out about it. It's just consuming my mind, it's crazy!!!

On that note, I have plans to go to the gym with my sister on Sunday evening since she is my ride. She's been sick for 2 weeks so since she hasn't been going I as well haven't been going since she's the driver!

My car is not insured right now because working casual you never know if you'll get called in and I couldn't afford to be paying for it and not get called in to work.

When I have a day off, which will be next weekend, I plan to try to bike to the gym. Then I'll know how long it takes me and can go on my own if my sis can't go.

The thing is I do have an exercise bike at home so why I'm not using it is beyond me. I need to get back to using it again.

I have gained weight back and it makes me so angry! I don't want to change my ticker though... boo!

I hear that! I have a treadmill, and elliptical, a road bike, roller blades, free weights, ab roller, ab slide, ab ball, yoga matt, jump rope, karate gear, you name it. I hate that I don't use it more. errrrr

On top of all that I just joined a gym over a week ago and still haven't gotten my butt in there. Doh!!

Next week I say, it's on!!
 
Hey everyone,

I know it's been a while but there's a reason for it!

I was telling you that I was so distracted by other things that I just couldn't keep my mind off one thing and I was letting it run me! Well, that thing that was distracting me was that we were trying to have baby. I was off the pill in April, started trying in May and got pregnant right away!!

So my EDD is Feb 4/11. I need an ultrasound to confirm it just because I only had one period since being off the pill and so it may not be accurate.

So yes, I won't be trying to lose weight for the next little while! It's still early to tell people as I'm only approx 8 weeks long, but I couldn't wait any longer! PS, those on FB please don't post anything as I haven't told everyone.

Thanks!
 
Hehe thanks guys! I just can't wait until this first trimester is over! I hate being nauseated all the time. I think it's started to ease up a little, but I want it gone! lol... I wanted to do light exercising while pregnant, but I feel sooooo nauseated and so exhausted that I just want to be asleep so I don't have to suffer. The heat outside makes it feel worse too. So when I start feeling better I'll definitely go on my recumbent bike, go on walks outside/on a treadmill, etc.
 
I'm so nauseated right now, it really sucks! I hope this phase ends soon! My sister was lucky with her pregnancy because she barely had any symptoms. I have the whole thing almost... sore boobs (have been since the beginning almost), nauseated all the time (early on started with just morning, but progressed to all day), used to have cramping but that's seems to be completely gone for the most part, do have to pee a little more than usual but nothing crazy like some people. A few weeks ago I was super exhausted, that's also getting better.

I have my first u/s this friday and I'm so nervous! I just wanted everything to be ok, and for the baby to have a heartbeat. I think I would die if the baby had stopped developing or something. I'm part of this one pregnancy forum and posting on the section for women due Feb 2011 and so many miscarriages have already happened.... it's really scary! So I'm praying and hoping that everything is ok and will be ok. I'm hoping my continual symptoms mean that everything is going well. Wish me luck!
 
I'll be thinking of you :) You're going to be such a yummy mummy! And think, once you have ze baby you can go out for walks with a stroller and join a yummy mummy group and it'll be amazing! Do you want a boy or a girl? Any names? OH I'M SO EXCITED!
 
Hey Sun :)

Well, I don't care either way what I'm having, as long as my second kid is the opposite. I do want one of each. So yeah!

No names yet, when we find out what we're having (which should be at my u/s appt on Sept 22) then we'll start focusing on names!

I'm still nauseated, but I think it's getting better. Cause I used to be super nauseated ALL day. Now I'm nauseated all day but with periods of super nauseated. Hopefully the super nauseated periods go away completely and I'll go to only nauseated with periods of NO nausea! LOL

I also want to feel better so I can start exercising. I don't really want to gain weight and because I'm already overweight the doctor said I shouldn't gain weight. She said that if I did gain weight to keep it at 10-20 pounds max.
 
Congratulations!!

So you're having a baby!?! That is fantastic news! From your last post sounds like you may have recently found out the sex. Hope you and your family are well. Hope you're able to exercise and stay healthy and happy throughout your pregnancy.
 
Hey everyone, if anyone is left to read this! LOL... Well, we're having a baby girl. She's due pretty soon, I'll be 33 weeks on Monday (she's due Feb 7th) so less than 2 months to go! AHHH!

The pregnancy hasn't been easy, the nausea never went away. I get hungry which is good (only time I'm not nauseated) but as soon as I eat it hits me again. I haven't been throwing up which is good, but I'm sooo done with this nausea! LOL

My stomach is huge, well it feels like it! I'm glad that I do look pregnant and not just overweight (that was one of my fears) but I'm glad that's not the case.

I'll be glad when the baby is out and I'm healed and can start trying to lose weight again. I feel glad knowing that even though it'll be hard work, simple things while pregnant are hard... like, rolling over in bed, going up a flight of stairs and being out of breath... sometimes just sitting you get out of breath! So I keep thinking how nice non pregnant exercise will be even if it's hard, lol.

Hope everyone is doing well! I can't wait to start up my weight loss journey once I can :) It's scary to have to start all over again, but hey, nothing comes without putting in the effort right?

So glad to see your post, Risty :D Glad everything is going well and thank you for the update!!! Not long to go now!!!
 
Yeah, not long at all, and I'm definitely not prepared yet! Need to wash and organize all the clothes. Organize the rest of the room. Clean and organize the rest of the house. Pack my hospital bag so I have it ready just in case! Read my labour books so I'm more prepared for that.

Yeah, a lot to do still! I'll get it done eventually. lol
 
Greetings my fellow British Columbian. My advice for giving birth? Relax. You will rise to the occasion.

I remember you from when I was on here a couple years ago. Came back two weeks ago.

What a happy time for you.
 
I don't know if anyone I used to chat with on here still reads this but I'm back. I'm trying to get myself to where I want to be and it's been hard with a very needy baby! She will be 7 months old on the 29th! I've lost all my baby weight and now I'm just working on the weight I needed to lose prepregnancy. Last time I weighed myself (Sunday) I was 191.6 and I want to get down to 140 and see where to go from there. So far I'm just watching calories and then I'll have to find time to add in exercise. My baby doesn't nap long and goes to bed late-ish. By the time I'm done the day I'm exhausted. I hope once she's mobile she will be less high maintenance and that way I'll be less tired by the end of the day to add in working out.
 
AGrats on the baby and losing the baby fat! I could only imagine how hard it would be balancing the little girl with working out / worrying about meals and such. Hopefully you'll have time to report to us and hopefully you will see success :)
