This has been a continuous struggle..
I’ve been so on and off the health train through this pregnancy, it’s one of the biggest struggles I’ve had. Where my will power and motivation went I don’t know, but it was replaced by powerful hormones that made me okay with letting myself go. With 50lbs gained so far in this pregnancy and 7 more weeks to go, I am definitely struggling more now than I ever have.
Sometimes I sit and look at old photos of myself. Wondering how the hell I let myself get this bad? How I let all my hard work over the last 3 years disappear because eating chocolate, donuts or chips on an (almost) daily basis somehow felt better than being healthy and happy. I don’t get it, but all I can really do is keep trying to do better.
So, starting today I’ve made the decision to (once again) jump back on the wagon and give these last 7 weeks my all. I’ve got my fitbit to help me stay on track with my goals, which are:
- Track calories every day
- Drink 3L of water daily
- Get in at least 5,000 steps per day
- Average 70,000 steps per week
I’ve already managed to resist junk food temptation. Sean busted out a bag of chips, put them in my lap and I asked him to take them away, which he did immediately. NSV for the win? I know I’m pretty proud.
I have to keep reminding myself, I can do this.
