Not at the same time of course - I'm not that bad. But seriously, I'm slightly shocked that this morning when I did my weekly weigh-in, I only gained less that a quarter of a pound. I don't eat all bad for me things. I definitely try to keep it balanced and all, it's just that if I feel like ice cream, well gosh darn it, I'm going to have some. Pregnancy has made me feel entitled. Entitled to buy cookies at the grocery store, entitled to finish nearly everything on my plate, entitled to my license to eat.
I realize this is a scary attitude to have, and if I keep it up I'm liable to gain 70 pounds over the upcoming months. However, I am applying my "casino rule" to weight gain. When I go to a casino, I usually give myself an allotted amount to gamble with and nothing more and if I lose it, well then that's what I paid to have some fun. This easily can apply to pregnancy weight. Because I fall in the "normal" body weight range, I can gain anywhere from 25-35 pounds. I figure, that's my allotted amount and I won't go over it.
I think it doesn't hurt that I'm still pretty active. Between the camp, my regular yoga practice and walking a lot, I'm doing a good job of staying healthy. As a bonus, I was super-proud of myself yesterday during yoga when I nailed my flying crow pose. Not too bad for a knocked up chick!

Wow! I'm impressed with that pose! Of course that's coming from one who struggles with "tree" pose still :=(

Thank you...but remember, yoga is not a competition, especially with yourself. ;-)
