The Natural Way has made such a profound impact on my health (and Geoff's for that matter). I can't believe its been a whole year and a bit since I last posted on this blog... but the great news is that my disciplined eating actually did pay off in the absolute best way possible! My body became ripe and ready for carrying a child! Geoff and I are currently about 4 weeks from meeting our little girl!
I have continued with reasonable eating throughout the pregnancy - and even continued to eat lots of fruit, although, the temptation to eat comfort Winter food has been really big, we plough through our fruit bowl at a rapid rate & we've got into the habit of keeping the nuts out in jars in order to snack healthily.
..and the great news is that at 34 weeks I had only put on 11kg! :)
I am sure that I will be posting some more about this as soon as she's born & I kick into a weight-loss mission in order to lose any excess pregnancy weight that may be lurking around my body... I hope that breastfeeding will assist me in my on-going mission & that together with The Natural Way, I can achieve perfect weight and perfect health....
.....now where did I put those jellybeans.......

Day 49
We've been packing & going all sorts of admin that never seems to come to an end. The only thing for it is chocolate. I am afraid to say that I have been eating some & that I have also been drinking WAY too much coffee.
That's probably why my weight has stuck this week.
I still feel skinny though :)
On Sunday I went to gym. Monday we walked to Fish Hoek & back & Tuesday we walked to Muizenberg & caught the train back. I had a big gym session yesterday so the exercise is going well.
I bought a bag of pears at Pick 'n Pay the other day that are so tasteless. I just don't think that pears are naturally tasteless...they must have done something to them.
I was also so surprised & I almost cried, because, although it is quite irritating when squeezing fresh lemon juice, to end up with pips you have to dig around for: breeding pip-less lemons is totally uncalled for & quite frankly, very sad. I feel like nothing is pure as 'nature intended it' any more. I don't even mind pips in grapes: I just don't add those grapes to my fruit smoothie.
This whole thing fits in with the general societal standard that legs / beards etc should be shaved. Its just not natural...but we do it anyhow so that we're not the only one who's leg-hairs catch the sunlight making them obviously & luminously visible. Plus I quite like beards...but only on men! It's natural!!
No pips in lemons feels worse. It just doesn't feel right.
