It's a Velociraptor!

No actually it is a Baby!!! That's right!! We're Expecting!!! This is kinda how we announced it to the world actually! This link will probably explain better (http://imgur.com/gallery/F7fq0) that is if you need an explanation! Anyway so I had to avoid blogging for a few days until we shared with our families and then I just got side tracked for a while but I am back and ready to start again!

One of the things that tipped me off to pregnancy though was me skipping workouts from being so sleepy! Then I found out I was officially pregnant and I decided to stop doing Insanity since it is really taxing on your body. I got Turbo Fire in the mail a few days before I found out and my coach did Turbo Fire during her whole pregnancy until three days before her delivery. She also has a few pregnant women doing TF as well and she says they are doing well with it. They do the modified version of course with no jumping and no floor work but I am gonna try to make this a healthy pregnancy. After two weeks off from working out I am starting fresh on Monday! I have continued to eat healthy and have not gained any weight since I stopped working out. I have been drinking smoothies and still drinking the Shakeology. Most doctors agree that Shakeology can be good for you to replace your pre-natal vitamin. The only iffy thing comes when you start looking at the suma root which is why I have been sticking to the Tropical strawberry which does not have suma root in it. I will verify this information with my doctor when I actually have my first appointment which won't be for a while of course but all the information and research I have done points to it being alright for you. SO with whole food and eventually some juice thrown in there for good measure and shakeology maybe I can make this a healthy pregnancy after all! With my body composition as it is I am already obese and most doctors agree it is not healthy for those who are Obese to gain much weight if any at all with pregnancy. It increases risks for many complications and I would like to avoid those as much as possible! I have a goal to lose weight but not diet.... just changing my diet from all the unhealthy food that I was eating to the whole foods and adding exercise can make a huge difference in itself! Most pregnant women have the view that they can eat whatever they want because they are eating for two but in reality you only need 200-300 more calories per day! Think of it... yes your eating for two but one of you is a tiny little grape sized bundle at this point not a full sized grown man! We will see what happens if I do not lose weight I at least want to minimize my weight gain and doing the modified version of Turbo Fire should tone my arms and legs and prepare me to kick into Turbo Fire full speed when the pregnancy is over and we have our little of bundle of joy! Let's kick this program into full gear and do pregnancy right!
