First time ever: sensible pregnancy

I've lost 12 pounds since I made my resolve. I haven't changed my new and improved eating habits since I found out I was pregnant and I'm happy to report I'm still losing. Yeah, yeah -- you're not supposed to try to lose weight while pregnant -- but you ARE supposed to eat healthily. That's all I'm doing. If the side effect to that just happens to be loss of poundage, well, if I must. Unlike the other times, I didn't head straight for a sheetcake with a fork thinking: "Out of my way! I'm eating for two!!!" Two linebackers apparently.

It's like my body is saying THANK GOD, IT'S ABOUT TIME!! I've been abusing it for so long that it's so grateful for my return to sane eating and is happy to reward me with smaller numbers on the scale. Thanks, Body! And after the first two weeks, I'm really not finding it difficult. I have, no, HAD a major sweet tooth. It was hard to break. DIE Sweet Tooth DIE! And finally, I feel like my lifestyle, my norm, the way I operate is different. Better. It's amazing how much better I feel even after "only" 12 pounds. Can't wait to get back to my "old" (young!) self!! After, uh, very temporarily ballooning up and possibly getting confused with a blimp. Those 20 pound babies can do that to you.

A (male) friend said I looked skinny a few days ago... I may or may not have almost kissed him on the mouth. ;)

You lightweight. I had a 40 pound baby. It was hell in the end. Congrats on the weight loss!! I really need to get my consumption in line, it's a little out of control.

ok, you've gotta give me some recipes, you've been doing. I have that same juicer but never use it. I just dont know what to do with it.

I wish I did the same thing ... I gained 62 pounds with Joshua. SIXTY-TWO POUNDS!!! Maybe I should get myself a juicer???

The juicer company should be giving you a cut for all your advertising! Can't wait to see (less of) you on Friday! :)
