Working out:  I have been to Cross Fit my usual three times this week. It is hard not pushing as hard as I want to...and finishing almost last, but it's important I scale back a little right now. My goal is to cross Fit for as long as I can.

Eating-Very clean. I am trying to eat more throughout the day. I eat spinach like crazy and am sticking to my usual breakfasts consisting of eggs and egg whites with veggies and usually banana and almond butter. I have started in on paleo pancakes again-my ultimate favorite. I also am more a ware of my calcium intake. I went out and bought calcium fortified orange juice, almond milk, cottage cheese, Colby jack cheese (my favorite) and string cheese. I will be eating at least 3 a day. I also went out and bought a prenatal vitamin. I was frustrated with coffee. I started drinking 4 ounces a day...but I wanted more! So, I went out and bought decaf. So now, I have about 75% decaf mixed with 25% regular.

Food Cravings-Not yet, although I have been really fond of black olives since Dan bought a bunch home!


It's been a whirl wind of a week. It's crazy how your life changes in an instant. The world looks so different now. Dan has been wonderful...almost too wonderful! It's so hard not to tell people-especially my family. Our parents are going to flip!  Dan told 2 good friends of ours; they were very happy for us. I told my two co-workers-they're like family and I spend 40 hours a week with them. We are going to wait till 8 weeks-after the first doctor appointment to tell our families and at least 16 weeks to tell the world. I plan to take this day by day and take care of myself the best I can-that's what I tell myself each day.

What I came home from work to on Thursday :)
