It's Thursday...and it's time for my doctor's appointment :) Yes, I'm trying to be as optimistic about it as possible, but I'm sure it will go by just fine.

I get to fast once again...so no food after 12:00pm...and only water for the rest of the day (until they draw my blood) and then believe me, I'm going home, cracking out the ground meat and making myself some dinner. I am going to try and eat as much as I have around me (okay, not that much food...I have a cup-o-noodle and I might have a cup of hot chocolate) prior to 12:00pm and then I've got my 2 bottles of water to tide me over for the rest of the afternoon. I think 2 liters is good enough...lol

I have to drink my sugar drink at 3:15pm and then I leave work at 3:30pm to go down to the doctor's appointment at 4:00pm. Brian's not going to be there for this one as he is working (and I don't think it's that important that he's coming to the doctor's appointments anymore...he needs to come to the classes Tuesday night). I go alone to have my blood drawn (eek!) but I'll be fine...hehe

What else is today...it's Jamba Day (the Jamba Juice up in Superior gave our company free Jamba Juice cards to go get a free drink TODAY ONLY...and of course, I am fasting today...so I am disappointed).

Ugh...I was looking in the mirror this morning and I noticed that my face is getting all round again :( I'm starting to pork up or something and I don't like it. Not that I was skinny to begin with, but I still don't want to look like a baked ham! My neck and my face are starting to melt together...This whole entire pregnancy, I had lost a bunch of weight and my face had thinned out and it was great (no...don't take this the wrong way, the baby was gaining weight, I was just not really gaining all that much...and I had actually lost about 6 or 7 pounds at one point in there)...I know when he comes in January, I'm going to take my few weeks of rest, and then it's going to be hitting the gym at my apartment. It's the winter...it's gonna be cold...I don't want to be doing any of this shit outside. Our gym at the apartment is open until 10pm, so I can go work out on the treadmill/eliptical/stair machine and lift weights on the weight machine and hope to lose a few pounds. My ultimate goal is to get down to a size 10 and then I'll be extremely happy. I don't know if that will work, but at least I have a goal to strive for. I think with the baby, I'll be more active. I'm not going to be a couch potato mom raising a couch potato kid, that's for sure! I'm gonna go do stuff!!

Anyway, I best get going on my stuff...I'm training someone today to do my job when I'm out (not when I'm out on maternity leave), but when I'm just out for days or something...

Best of Luck
With losing the baby weight. I know my sister had no problem losing the weight after her first but it took a while longer to lose the weight after baby #2/
