How Stroller Strides saved me $1200
So considering I haven't heard from my OB about my GD test I think that I am in the clear this pregnancy as far as gestational is considered. This was really surprising news to me considering my past history.
This pregnancy was definatly a hard pill to swallow early on because I was so motivated to lose weight(and was losing!). I felt like getting pregnant was going to stop my momentium towards my goal and although I have definatly postponed my sucess I don't feel like my time was "wasted" anymore. Because of my hard work after having Kierstin I was able to lose 62 pounds, but more than that...I don't have to pay the $1200 that I would be paying out of pocket for insulin and NST copays during these next 9 weeks. And that figure didn't include testing strips or needles. I paid somewhere around $200 for stroller strides this summer and fall. So in the long run I am pulling out $1000 ahead! I can't believe it!
So my plan when I have Kendell is to start a new food journal. I am going to take it easier than I would normally during the first few weeks of milk production, because I know that calorie depletion can cause "skim" milk. But soon after I know everything is A-OK I will be back on the weight watchers/stroller strides wagon! Hopefully with a few new faces and some old friends.

I am really happy for you! I could say a lot about stroller strides too...not that it saved me any money but that I think it really helps in weight loss and gives you the motivation to exercise. I know that after you have Kendall and get in the swing of things you will be right back to losing weight. Wish I could join you in the summer months at SS but I just don't think that the heat and being 8-9 months pregnant would be a good combination...we'll see. I might be watching you from the pool though. :-)
Hey...I have been thinking about doing a 12 week challenge starting June 1st and another one starting August 31st. You might be able to join the 31st one! It would be FUN!

I can't wait to get outside and start walking/jogging again! I have been slacking on my exercise for the past few weeks but I have lost 25 lbs so far! I want to be able to do stroller strides again so you'll have to let me know when it starts and the days of the week it will be on! Can't wait!!
Ya know? I thought being pregnant was going to hinder my weight loss. Wouldn't ya know it? I haven't lost anything in 25 years. You seem to have had better luck than me.
LOL (to dan)
I would be interested in the 12 week challenge erin. I think its so important to be doing stuff with friends as well, it gives you the drive!! :0)
And yea!!! to Hol!
Hey Dan...I can think of one thing that you've lost!!!! Love you!
That shows wisdom, weatheredness, and experience. It's also quite shiny. Chicks dig me, at least when I play volleyball.
HA... Good one Beth!!
