Week 11

Week 11 and 4 days!

Week 11 can be summed up in as...

so much better!

All of my symptoms have (right on schedule) started to greatly improve.

Weight:  Yup, still haven't gotten on the scale.  I'll get weighed next week at the doctor.  I'm sure there's about 5 - 10 lbs (more likely 10) that were not there pre-baby, but that's what happens when all you eat are bagels and cream cheese for 2 months straight...It's kind of like Super-Size Me...

Nausea:  Gone!  Towards the end of week 10 my friend nausea moved on to bother some other poor preggo.  

Aversions/Eating:  Even though the nausea is gone, the aversions are still in full effect.  Most of the time nothing sounds good.  No cravings at all, just trying to figure out what I want to eat that sounds ok.  Grocery shopping is really hard because I can't bear the thought to plan meals for myself or my hubs.  Eating wise I am so happy because this week I've been able to do a lot more 'regular eating'.  The carbo overload is done and I can go back to some of my faves like fresh cut fruit, celery sticks and peanut butter and salads.  Dinner is still hard.  I have a tiny dinner and feel STUFFED...then an hour later I am eating a small bowl of granola or other cereal to tide me over until bed time.  This week I am also SO THIRSTY.  Which is abnormal for me since I am the worst water drinker in the history of ever! 

My typical approach to drinking water daily...I don't

Exercise/Energy:  My exercise is still just riding, but I'm incorporating a little yoga and hope to start walking again at lunch starting next week.  It just wipes me out.  I have much more energy than weeks prior, no doubt about it, but I am still DONE by around 3pm no matter what and couch ridden by 7pm.  We've been going to bed around 9-9:30pm and waking up at 7am.  

Week 11, things are getting easier, so thank you!
