I figured I'd continue with my journey... how is nutrition, working out, supplements, all that stuff playing in to my "NEW JOURNEY".... and just things along the way, feelings... what's going on.
As of today, I am officially 16 weeks pregnant! It's amazing, that's 4 MONTHS! I have just started to feel like my stomach is getting a little pooch... or when I bend over, it feels like I have an orange or softball where I am bending... it's kinda weird.
Last night we did another 4321 Night Owl... I felt really good and enjoyed leading it. It is nice that I am in physically good shape now. I ran about 2 1/2 miles on Monday morning, then Monday night I also walked for about 40 minutes while I waited for my brother, Jamie, to come on TV on the "Conan O'Brien Tonight Show". Then... did 2 sets of 4321 last night. For the most part, I had cut down on the consistency of working out.... I'm getting back into a more regular routine right now. In the last several weeks, I may have only worked out twice/week. I think 4 days would be a really good and realistic goal to shoot for.
As far as eating.... Tyler and I are still following the Trim Body System eating plan. Honestly, Tyler has been following it more closely than I have. He has really enjoyed having that plan to guide his "eating" for the day. And... me too...although, I have noticed that being pregnant, there have been days when something that I'm scheduled to eat is absolutely not appealing, or even makes my stomach turn just thinking about eating it... so I have made a LOT of exchanges... sometimes that may include eating more crackers, or starches. Which, I know is not completely good... but I also know that this time will pass. I have not really gotten morning sickness. I can count on one hand how many times I have actually been sick that I've thrown up. I'm happy about not having morning sickness!! That sure would not be a fun day to have to deal with.... the times that I didn't feel well were definitely ENOUGH! I am excited though about my weight... I got down to 136, which was my lowest weight.... I weighed 141 this morning. So, I'm excited about that... but at the same time, I have kept a watch on it!
One thing in my Quiet Time this morning that I was reminded of, is this time of preparation. That I really need to take advantage of this time to prepare myself mentally, but especially Spiritually.... being reading and changing more.
I was reading in Psalm 27 (amp) this morning, and the verse that REALLY stood out to me was:
14 - Wait and hope for and EXPECT the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.I'm applying that to a lot of areas in my life. I'm expecting and thanking that Lord that he is our Jehovah Jirah, God our Provider and He is Jehovah Nissi, God our Banner & Victory! I'm thankful that HE IS going to provide the perfect place for us to live, upgraded vehicles, growth in our business... motivation, the desire and passion to grown, change and learn.
I am waiting for and EXPECTING the Lord! I thank him for it all!!!
Until next time....be blessed!
