NF Weeks 7, 8 & 9

Hello!
>.>
I didn't forget. I'm just tired.
Anywho, I stopped recording what I eat. Three reasons. 1) I don't want people laughing at my obvious pregnancy cravings. 2) I was recording them to give anyone who was trying to make similar changes something to go off of--but I'm pregnant now, so it's not really going to be useful to non-preggers. 3) I'm at a point now, where I've trained myself not to eat so much--so a food journal is more of a time consumer now than a tool.

The last couple weeks I've only managed two workouts a week, but I'm okay with that. I'd like to get it up to more, but this will work for now. I'm almost out of the first trimester, and my energy is starting to return. So, fingers crossed.

NF Week 6

Hello! So, when Sarge told me two weeks ago, that he noticed a visible difference--I wasn't so sure I believed him. Was he just being nice? Trying to keep me motivated? 
No, he was being truthful. I just took my post 6-week measurements, and am happy to announce that I have lost 8 5/8 inches total. I won't post my actual measurements, but I'll post the difference between the day I started and today.

Bust over:  -1/2
      under: -1/2
Waist: -3
Hips: -2
R thigh: -1
L thigh: -1/2
R bicep: +1/4
L bicep: +1/4
R calf: -7/8
L calf: -3/4
total lost= 8 5/8 in

You want to know the weight difference? It's like 1/2 pound gained. So, taking your measurements it definitely worth it. I really wish I had taken them back in April, or whenever it was, when I started this blog. I think it would be interesting to see the numbers. I can look at the pictures an know it's quite a bit, but the numbers are much more fun to look at. 
So, now that the 6 weeks are up, I think I'll continue. And we'll just see what happens. I did find out week four, that we are expecting, so some things will change as time progresses, but I will do my best to stick with it. (Those of you on my Facebook, please don't post congratulations on my Facebook. I haven't announced it yet, and would like to be the one to do so.) So, I guess that's the next adventure in this! I have no intention of losing weight, but I would like to leave this pregnancy looking less like a blob.
