This week’s vlog. FYI this was shot around 1 AM Monday morning at a local event as it was winding down. I thought I would bring some more real life into how we make our choices.
My week was great like I said. My hammies feel a little stronger and my tush a little firmer, you can’t be mad at that. My belly is growing though. It is not constant… I looked really pregnant on Friday after lunch but hardly showed during most of the weekend. At last night’s event some people that didn’t know me thought I was the photog brought into the event and wasn’t drinking since I was working. My husband told some people, that in fact I was 20 weeks pregnant and hanging out as an event guest. They apparently could not tell. Don’t get me wrong though, my uterus is growing and it is obvious to me in an incredible way even if everyone can’t see it yet.
As far as the food thing, I may need to eat more. My next midwife appointment is not until next Monday but I am headed over to see her at a potluck later this week. I may bug her about it then since we will be dining together. I think I need to eat more because of some tiredness I have been having, how my appetite has been a few hours after my workouts, and I think my body may be a bit confused with the work it needs to do for the baby and the work I am adding to it.
This week I want to go for 5/7 again with the workouts.
Here is some of my meal planning. I stayed up on Saturday surrounded by cookbooks and recipes to fill in a spreadsheet grid. This may get varied but simply shuffled w/in the grid. Veggies in vinegar and extra fruit are freebies and will be added in wherever I want.
Mon (b) cereal w/ fruit (l) salad w/ egg protein (s) broccoli w/ nuts (d) bbq tempeh + veggie slaw
Tues (b) smoothie (l) stew (s) cheese + fruit (d) bombay rice with veggies + turkey
Wed (b) veggie quesadilla (l) chicken/apple salad sammy (s) crackers, fruit + PB (d)beef + veggie stew w/ polenta
Thurs (b) savory grain salad w/ egg (l) potluck (s) cheese + fruit (d) potato bar
Fri (b) frittata (l) chx/apple salad (s) veggie quesadilla (d) tandoori chx w/ rice
Sat (b) savory grain salad w/ egg (l) salad w/ deviled egg (s) yogurt w/ nuts (d) stew
Sun (b) smoothie (l) tacos (s) citrus + almonds (d) breakfast for dinner (hubby’s

Such a special time. Good for you for staying fit during your pregnancy! You're already being a great mom!
Once again, totally love the vlog. How fun! Sounds like you are doing great with your pregnancy health! Way to go! Have a fabulous week!
Omg, girl, yall are too funny. I'm glad you're staying fit and having so much fun doing it. Have a good week!
I love that video. You crack me up, and I love how you are modeling that life doesn't have to end to be healthy!
I LOVED watching you giggle. EVERYONE loves a pregnant girl at a party cause you are their designated driver. Well, at least that is how it always worked out with me. I was REALLY popular.
I can't wait for you to have your baby…we are going to be tweeting like mad with excitement…natural birth…OMG! I'm sending you the quick birth vibes….XXOO
I love your vlogs, sis. Makes it feel like you are closer. Do I need to harass you about eating more? Love ya.
Oh you bet. I am the designated driver and people love it. I even DD when I am not going to events but dropping off and picking up my husband friends so they can have fun and not worry about it. This is a first-time preggo luxury only, if we have a #2 I will not be running the preggo lady taxi service.
I am always looking forward to reading your posts and vlogs. Looking forward to what info you can get from your midwife. You are so positive in everything you say and do. I seriously need to find a way to make a menu plan, yours is looking so yummy. Keep up the great work!!
You are a true inspiration and your baby is so lucky to have you for a Mom!! xoxxo
That was a fun party! Great job in maintaining that healthy and active lifestyle during your pregnancy. You will be an awesome role model, not to mention a hot momma to your baby. Keep it up! — @ImAHotMom
That was such a cute video! Yay on the firmer tushy!!! Keep up the good work!!
Love the video – it gave me a more well-rounded picture of who you really are. Thanks for sharing. Oh and by the way – you are even more awesome than I had originally thought – if that's possible at all!
