Well, I did my weights and physical therapy on Thursday. I’ve noticed that Thursdays seem to be a good day for me. I didn’t do anything that would upset my ankle, but I was still able to do a lot. I overdid it however, I felt some pain in my abdomen afterwards, so next time, I’ll work it a little easier.
For the past two years, between Halloween and Thanksgiving, I’ve gone completely off of all sugar and refined carbs such as white flour, white bread, etc. I have always felt great benefit from it, and it seems to help me get through the rest of the “holiday food” season with self control, eating in moderation instead of the Inhaling Sugar Monster I am capable of becoming. Well, I don’t think I can do it this year, but I am in need of a change, so I think I’m going to try to get into the “spirit” of it and do the best I can. I’m on my 3rd day, and I already feel better. The problem is that most non-sugar foods upset my tummy, but I’m trying to find a happy compromise.
I didn’t weight myself this morning before breakfast, but yesterday I was 229.5, so that’ll be our official pregnant weight for the week.
This Wednesday we get our ultrasound to find out the gender of the baby, and we’re very excited about that.
How was your week?

Somehow I managed to lose weight this week despite the fact that I have not exercised or stayed away from the Halloween candy. The candy hasn’t tempted me as much as it has in past years, but I still ate more candy than I do in a regular week. I’m not going to take my chances next week, however; I’m going to ramp up the exercise and do a better job of counting my points. No use tempting fate!

Wow, I am now compleatly caught up on your blog.
I’ve spent the last week reading all your past entries. (at work no less)
I will say that I was suprised to see that you started the VCC way back in March! When I got there, I thought that perhaps the one you are working on now was a second one! *wink*

Going no sugar would be great for me. I don’t like sugar substitutes and I like sugar in my tea, so what I should do is limit myself to one teaspoon in my tea and then cut everything else out. I love baguettes and stuff like that, but I can live without white bread as long as I’ve got pumpernickle. Lately I have been craving sweets which is weird because I prefer salty snacks to candy.
I’m down 23 pounds total. I haven’t lost anything lately, but I haven’t put anything back on and that’s the important thing.
