Aw hell no! Not this time!

So this morning I woke up and my knees were killing me! I know it's because I haven't been very active, like at all. Ever since my last pregnancy, almost 4 years ago, I've been struggling with my weight, my body image, and my self esteem. It's not that I didn't eat healthy meals the first time around, but I definitely took the whole "eating for two" thing to heart. I didn't give a thought to portion control, I just ate until I was full, and then some. I think I gained over 80 pounds, and my daughter was only 7lbs2oz 😬 After having the baby, I had so much extra weight to carry around that it made it difficult to really be as active as I wanted. It also made me pretty depressed about myself. It's been almost 4 years and I've managed to lose some of the weight, but I still have another 30 lbs to go before I'm anywhere near my pre pregnancy weight. And now I'm pregnant again! So anyway, to bring it back around, this morning I decided enough was enough! My knees were killing me and I knew it's my own damn fault. So I dropped the kiddo off at preschool, and I hit the gym! 30 minutes on the bike and about 25 minutes walking! That 4 days a week, then hitting the pool on the weekends! I refuse to find myself in the same position I was last time, and I'm already on track to have a healthier pregnancy, my portions are smaller, and guess what? I'm still full! So far I've only gained 2lbs in the last 14 weeks, and everything else with me and the baby have been awesome! So anyway, thanks for listening, I felt pretty great leaving the gym today and just felt like I had to share! Here's me 3 years ago, and me today, I look tired but I'm feeling great! 😅
