New Years Wellness Resolutions and my pregnancy plan for calories and macros.

I am not really doing New Years Resolutions per say. I have a few routines I would like to better establish and my main concern is a healthy a pregnancy. Considering I am back to my starting high weight.... I am very concerned with weight gain. I have started tracking my calories and macros again. I am not concerned with keto during pregnancy, but I would like to be as close to low carb paleo as possible. I would like to stay no more than 100g of carbs and ideally around 60g. I would like to get up to 100g of protein a day. Fat is flexible not really concerned with how much. But obviously getting a good dose of healthy fats. For calories I just want to stay under 2000.
 I'm really trying to get in my food based supplements, and taking extra vitamin D and DHA omega 3s. I am working on a steady intake of ginger tea to ward off nausea, and I am trying lots of lemon water to help with the bloating. Especially in these early weeks. Trying to get in as much veggies and fruits as I can for nutrition. And paying extra attention to organic and low toxin during these more fragile times. I'd really like to pay attention to inflammation as well. I am reading the whole 30 book and considering a sugar detox as well. I am going to check with my mid wife during my intake appointment in a week and a half. I will be in touch with what she says!

Introduction to my Road to Wellness

Image
Hi I am Randi :) I was born in Oct of 1983. I am first and foremost a child of God saved by Jesus. I am a wife to Gabe and mother to Bryn born by God's grace through infertility struggles in February of 2012. I have been lead to start this blog. I have tried to start a few  blogs and they just fizzle. I am just not hitting the nail on the head yet. But lately God has really laid it on my heart to start a Wellness blog. But here's the thing... Not just a generic wellness blog with everyday tips.... a blog where God is first Wellness is second. Its about finding Wellness through God's will and his leading and guiding. I am telling you this is not easy. I have been working on this for almost 7 years now!! Let me start with where I came from. My body, my temple, was used and abused. I had no respect for it. I smoked upwards of a pack a day. I loved to socially drink. I drank mountain dew, coffee, energy drinks. I ate out every single day and most days ate out ...

Still not on that wagon and Im really struggling.....

I fell off that wagon when I got sick. I have spiraled out of control and all my old food addictions have come back full force. I have gained some weight back as well. I am disgusted with myself and every day I say I will make better choices yet every day I make bad choices and think to myself TOMORROW. I have prayed every night yet I run I run from that small quiet voice by day. I am completely self sabotaging and I don't know why? Is it guilt? I really think it is. It seems my spirit is under fire with temptations lately. And I feel guilt for being so tempted and having "thoughts" maybe I am eating away the guilt of that? Along with clear stress from being out of work and money and marriage ect. I am eating myself numb? What's worse is I feel physically like crap. I am tired and sluggish and full and bloated. Why can't I stop the spiraling of out of control addictions! Processed foods, sugars, carbs, and eating out obsession back in full fledge. I have even go...

This blog luckily has no followers besides my sister, because it has been nothing but a big disappointment! I am at the tip top of my weight of all time again! (other than when I was 9months pregant with bryn) I am 17 weeks into this pregnancy cycle and I gained 20 lbs!!!! Not to mention the 20 pounds I gained before I got pregnant. I am not giving up completely I would like to believe I can turn this around! I want to report back in a month and tell you I have not gained anymore weight. I need to give up sugar. I have been bad with my "treats" this pregnancy! and I haven't stopped gaining since July every month I am up since JULY  this is awful! Keto was great.... falling off the keto bandwagon has been VERY BAD. I think I am worse than when I just trying to be healthy starting almost 3 years ago. Heres some pics from a few weeks ago at least 5 lbs less than even now..... The behind shot just hurts. I was about 14 weeks preggo in these pics.
