I am very excited to announce to all of you readers the very exciting news...my husband and I are expecting our first child! I am almost 12 weeks along and have been fully experiencing the pregnancy symptoms of the first trimester.

This is REALLY exciting for us, but it has also made things really tough trying to figure out my health issues. I did go wheat free for a week, and I did start to feel better but I was still really sick and tired, which is most likely from the pregnancy...but I slowly started eating foods again that I shouldn't. I took some time this summer to focus on me and my health and I really have gotten NO WHERE. I am no further ahead than I was two months ago.

The problem with eating only whole foods over the past few weeks is that I really don't like food right now. I have been eating very little and I can't really stomach the thought of many foods - including meat, fruits, and most veggies - which is essentially the basis of whole foods!

So here is where I am at - right now I have the perfect appetite, I only eat when I am hungry, and when I do it, I eat MUCH smaller portions, which is more in line with what I should be eating normally. BUT I am not eating the right foods - so I need to make a really conscious effort to take it one day at a time and really try to get past the nausea and suck it up. I have finally been able to get back to the gym so I have been trying to go three times a week, but my workouts have been lighter (which is okay).

Hopefully it won't be much longer before I will feel like eating more foods again and can focus on my health again.

Let's see what the next few months brings us...

until next time.
