meals & moves…the past 3 months.

by Janetha on February 20, 2014

in love life,meals,moves,oh baby

hey, there. i know i have been MIA from blogging for quite some time. and telling you about my meals & moves has fallen to the bottom of my priority list. but today i want to share some of the meals & moves i have been doing for quite some time now. i have been snapping pics on my phone here and there, and now it’s time to share!

lots of burgers & fries..

all the chips.. and all the guac..

chipotle & taco time like it’s my job..

childhood classics like grilled cheese & tomato soup and cocoa & toast..

less that stellar chicken choices.. like chicken salad from the store. (the store is called “the store” and it is the best EVER) and wendy’s chicken nuggets with honey mustard..

cereal.. alllllll the cereal..

ice cream in any form.. shakes, frozen custard, cold stone, frosties.. you name it.

utah scones & greasy diner food..

saltines in bed. randy always begging.

yeah.. so those have been my meals. a little out of the ordinary, you could say.

and then there are my moves. oh, my moves.

there has been a lot of this.

and this, too.

and, of course this.

and who could forget this.

so i guess i should say my lack of moves. i have been to the gym a whopping three times this year. and i had to leave halfway through the third workout so i wouldn’t lose my lunch.

i am sure you have figured out what’s going on here.. if you didn’t guess already (i know many of you have assumed!)

yep! i’m three months pregnant. we had an ultrasound today and we decided to spill the beans.

it’s been a pretty huge lifestyle change for me these past couple of months. i have been terribly sick since january 5th. luckily i hit 13 weeks tomorrow and word on the street is i should be turning the corner.. although some mommas are sick well into their second or even third trimesters, so i shouldn’t get too jazzed just yet.

my lack of healthy meals & workouts isn’t the reason i haven’t been blogging. sure, it would have been really hard to hide it from you guys because i am a terrible liar, but that’s not even it. i have had zero tank in the gas by the time i get done with work every day. exhaustion, nausea, and heartburn have been my BFFs and they have made blogging a laughable task.

i legit DO NOT KNOW how those of you who have been pregnant or are pregnant keep up with everything. blogging, working out, watching after toddlers, working, cleaning, cooking.. not sure how you do it all! my full time job is a requirement, so i get that handled, but anything additional is out of the question. haha, poor marshall. he is such a babe.. makes dinner every night, does all the cleaning, and takes care of whatever needs i may have. LOVE LOVE LOVE him.

i definitely want to tell you all more about my life these past couple of months (i have known about my pregnancy since december 19th.) i want to share how i found out, how i told marshall, friends, and family, and also what exactly has been going on with me behind the scenes. but i think this is already long enough! i will be back next time with more details.

ahh! i am so happy the cat is out of the bag! now you know why i am always MIA and why i am such a lazy slug. ;)

EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Oh friend… My heart is bursting for you! xoxoxo If I could, I would give you the biggest hug! Good thing I can in June! Love you!!

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:16 am

YAY! love you too!

Andrea@WellnessNotes February 20, 2014 at 6:46 pm

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Soooo excited for you guys!

I had terrible morning (or really all day) sickness with the kid, but luckily it got a lot better during the second trimester. Keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll be the same for you!

Lauren February 20, 2014 at 6:46 pm

YAY!!!! Girl, I’m so so happy for you and even more stoked that we get to go through this together! :)

I feel ya on the saltine thing. And I had such a craving for tomato soup, I ate it for 4 days straight. Now I’m over it and on to all things strawberry flavored. Ugh, my cravings are so random and usually last a few days and then I’m on to the next weird thing. Baked Potatoes, Gummy Bears, Perogis, Bacon….I have no idea where these come from! :)

Best of luck to you my dear and I can’t wait to share this amazing journey with you!

It’s actually really nice to know I’m not alone. I hope you plan to blog all about your pregnancy! Thanks for sharing your exciting news!

Betty February 20, 2014 at 7:06 pm

I’m soooooo ridiculously happy for you! I wanted to ask, but pregnancy (whether trying to become/or waiting to share) is a tough subject and figured you’d share when ready!!! Yayayayayaya just so happy! So are you getting excited about the thought of a baby? Or do you still want it to fast forward in age? Haha cause I’m still scared to have a kid!

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:15 am

I am a little nervous but luckily I have some super good helpers in my corner! I almost told you on snap like 80 times.

betty February 21, 2014 at 10:33 am

AHHHH you should have!!! i’m ike a steel trap when it comes to that kinda stuff! and no reason to be nervous. you will be a great mom!! oooooh I just cant wait. hope that’s not weird :)

Lauren @ Me and the Mountains February 20, 2014 at 7:11 pm

Erin February 20, 2014 at 7:17 pm

CONGRATULATIONS! By the time I got through the food photos, I was like, “yup, she’s totally pregnant!” :) Best wishes to you and Marshall in the coming months/years.

Momma b February 20, 2014 at 7:19 pm

SO excited for you honey! I have been a “silent” reader for a long time, you are wonderful at sharing such valuable health tips! This news is so very exciting, congratulations!! UGH…I was sick for 8 months all 3 of my pregnancies. I have one word for you – SLURPIES. The ones from 7-11. The only thing that worked for my nausea. I started with the orange Fanta ones, but quickly found out that the Coke ones worked best. Good luck! :-)

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:13 am

Haha I will have to try that out! Thanks for the tip!

Lisa February 20, 2014 at 7:39 pm

Becky @ TheBexFactor.com February 20, 2014 at 7:58 pm

I have 100’s of unread blogs on Feedly but I came searching for this after seeing your Instagram post.

I’m beyond excited for you!

I think you will definitely start to feel back to normal really soon. The first trimester for me was brutal and I don’t even know how I functioned. I had such bad fatigue that I would have to nap on my lunch break, then again after work which gave me just enough energy to squeak in a Crossfit workout (I have no idea how), before going back to bed for the night. It was insane. I ate a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches, cheesy pasta, and Intense Pickle doritos.

I am so excited to hear about all the details! And maybe when you get back to your workouts, you’ll have to write a fit mama guest post for me! Roll reversal!

Lots of love girl! <3

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:11 am

Aww glad you came on over! I hope I get back to the gym sooner rather than later.. my doc told me I need to, haha.

Jess @ Blonde Ponytail February 20, 2014 at 8:01 pm

Congrats!!! The pups will be amazing siblings!!! And, honestly, blogging for me has to be done at night when Jada is asleep. You’ll figure it out and know what takes priority!! Congrats again!

Emily February 20, 2014 at 8:04 pm

Congrats, this is great news!

Clare @ fitting it all in February 20, 2014 at 8:05 pm

This is so wonderful!!! so happy you finally spilled:)

Angie @ Pint of Goals February 20, 2014 at 8:14 pm

Soooo exciting! Congratulations! It stinks you’ve been feeling so crappy, but hopefully it gets better soon. Apparently the Clomid worked quickly :)

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:10 am

Yep! Thank God only one round of that awful stuff haha.

Therese February 20, 2014 at 8:23 pm

Yay congrats! I’m pregnant now too… Due mid-June. Second tri has been much better! But aren’t 12 week ultrasounds just the cutest!?

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:10 am

That’s good to hear! Thank you!

Katie February 20, 2014 at 8:29 pm

So So happy for you guys! It’s so great to see a post from you as well. I know the feeling though.. I have a 10 month old & when I was pregnant the first three months were nothing but sleep. carbs. and more sleep!

Mandy February 20, 2014 at 8:33 pm

Omg!!! I’m so excited I can talk about it now!!! Love you two so happy for you!!!!! Poppy is my Friday baby don’t forget.. Ps at least I have this forum to commebt on :(

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:09 am

haha the one forum we have left. sad. you are going to be the best godmother.. whatever that is, you’re it!

Traci February 20, 2014 at 8:36 pm

Congrats! I guessed after seeing all the food pictures too. At least you’re eating lots of guac! :]

Lee February 20, 2014 at 8:41 pm

Congrats lady!

I went through a huge Frosty obsession when I was pregnant. That and bagels and cream cheese.

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:09 am

Yes and yes!

Angela Yates February 20, 2014 at 8:43 pm

Congrats to you and Marshall!! You will be the cutest pregnant lady! Hope you start feeling better soon!!!

Sara February 20, 2014 at 8:47 pm

The biggest congrats to you and Marshall! Sending lots of love and prayers your way.

Bonnie February 20, 2014 at 8:49 pm

Wahoo!!! I’ve been waiting for this post… And am just so excited for you and Marshall. Sorry to hear the 1st trimester’s been so rough! I hope you’re one of those who DOES turn the corner in the months I come. Sad I can’t make Blend this year – a new baby from Lindsay and one growing in you! Crazy! I remember how you never thought you’d have kids… Neat and funny how life can change. ;) Lots of love and CONGRATS! ❤️

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:09 am

So sad you can’t come!!

Kathryn February 20, 2014 at 9:18 pm

Yeah! Congratulations!

Jessy Carlisle February 20, 2014 at 9:22 pm

Congrats!! So excited for you! I’m expecting my first in a few weeks, and we had quite the long road to get here. It’s so hard at the beginning of pregnancy, but I promise, it gets better!

Janetha February 21, 2014 at 10:08 am

Good to hear! Good luck with delivery!
