To get pregnant again.  So I went off my diet about a week ago now.  Heck even before that though I had let up on it due to my trips out of town to visit with family.  So I probably gained some fat during that time (actually I KNOW I did) and then didn’t go back to my diet long enough to lose it all again.  So anyway, that brings me up to now.  I am now a "fattie" at 22% body fat, heh.  I guess that’s okay for now since winter is approaching and now my new goal is to get pregnant and then to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.  So I won’t worry so much about muscle definition, for a while anyway.  About a month after I have the baby though, IT’S ON!!  Yet again, hehe.  So anyway, that’s the update.  Mainly, besides the goal of having a healthy pregnancy and baby, my goal is to NOT GAIN over 35 lbs.  I gained 33 lbs with the first pregnancy and I really didn’t watch it much, I mean I did, some, but not as much as I should have.  So this time I am going to try harder to not eat too much, and to be especially careful of not eating too much junk, I think I ate far too much of it the first time.  So anyway, I have one more week before I should ovulate so that gives me another week to try and keep my calories steady to see what my weight does so that I will know where to keep them during my pregnancy.  One only needs (if I remember correctly) about an extra 200-300 calories for pregnancy.  So my goal is to find out what my maintenance calories are at my current weight, about 141-142 lbs and then to make sure I don’t eat more than about 200 extra over my maintenance.  And I may, I’m thinking about it, start a journal here so that others can follow along with my workouts and diet during my pregnancy.  Somebody may be able to learn from me plus it will help keep me motivated as it gets particularly difficult when you’re pregnant to stay motivated.
