I suppose if I could maintain for a bit, that would be good. However, that probably won't last forever, since I am half way through my second trimester and I'm barreling toward the 3rd, which is when baby Sammy puts on all HIS weight. Is it safe to maintain? Is it safe to lose? It's not like I'm a tiny, skinny thing. I mean, I am still overweight, and I feel like maintaining, or even losing a LITTLE can't possibly hurt the baby, as long as I am taking in adequate calories. Uh, right?
So many questions. They fly around in my brain constantly. I don't feel like I know any of the answers.
*Sigh* ok, yesterdays eating went quite well, I feel. Although I was a little short on my calories - I use www.livestrong.com, AKA The Daily Plate to track my food. There is no setting for "weight maintenance" so I opted for the least amount of weight to lose a week - 1 lb. That sets calorie expectations for me, based on my weight. Well, I fell almost 900 calories short of that yesterday - but I ate all day! I wasn't hungry! When I WAS hungry, I ate! Plus I got in a workout which subtracted even further from the goal. I am not so worried about that, unless it starts to happen all the time. If it does, maybe I need to revamp things.
Things I am especially proud of in regards to yesterdays eating:
1. I ate what I brought with me to work, and not anything else (no vending machine stops!)
2. I did NOT go to Starbucks on my way to work, like I always do. This one it BIG for me!
3. I didn't overeat in the evening.
Things I need to do better with today:
1. Water, water, water. I need MUCH more than yesterday!
Gonna keep trudging along, even though I am still feeling confused. I'm sure it will all start to become clear.
