Week 14 -- Pregnancy Update

Week 14 of my pregnancy and I am feeling MUCH better. Each day I feel that I am getting a bit stronger with more energy. I have still been going to the gym and doing my regular workouts, however things are changing there! I cannot bend quite as far during the walking lunges as I had in the past, as my abdomen is starting to protrude and get in the way of the lunged leg! :)

I have been eating clean and nutritious meals this week, and not only do I feel I have gained energy, but that my mood has stabilized. I had dessert last weekend and the feeling I had afterwards was awful. I felt my heart rate was racing as my body was trying to get my blood sugar under control (what a horrible feeling!) and within an hour of eating the brownies I was so tired I could hardly stay awake. I will NOT be doing that again! There is nothing wrong with a treat every now and then, but forget those blood sugar spikes! It really leaves your body out of whack. If you do not know what I am talking about, then cut back on your sugar for a solid week, then have that big dessert you (think) you have to have! Honestly ask yourself what you think your body likes better...the healthy food or the junk! I bet you will agree with me the healthy food wins!

Two more weeks until our next appointment. The baby is really growing now. I am really excited to hear the heartbeat again and see how much he/she has grown!
