I've started using The Daily Plate at livestrong.com to track my food intake, because I had a lousy week on the road last week and gained a ton of weight in that week after hardly gaining anything the entire first trimester. Fortunately, it seems to have been a fluke and I didn't REALLY cross the 200 threshold again, but I'm definitely 198 now where I was 193.
The weird thing is that I've tried two different calculators to try and figure out what my appropriate caloric intake is. One said 2400 and the other said 3300, so I'm going to split the difference and go with 2800, which is what you get when you plug in 2500+300 anyway.

That was easy
There is diet pepsi all over the house. I mean, I love this stuff. It's the juice that runs through my veins, right? I quit, cold turkey, on Wednesday; I've been drinking water ever since. I always hated drinking water, and right now I can't get enough of it. I wonder if 18 months off the pepsi (9 for gestation, 9 for lactation) will finally cure me of it. I look at it here in the house and think bleagck! Fortunately, my boss knows, and I can pass it on to her, as she's a fan. I just figure if things like ibuprofen and whatnot are bad for me right now, what the hell is all that aspartame doing to us? So WHAM. It really was easy to walk away from something I couldn't live without just a few days ago. I wonder what other bad habits bunky will cure me of.
I'm sticking with a highly modified version of Weight Watchers right now because I need the program for dietary structure. I'm obsessing over nutrition, partly because I was already on my way to that before I found out I was pregnant.
Some interesting information I found today indicates that because I'm overweight (but not obese anymore!!), I should plan on gaining 15-25 pounds. I'm going to continue exercising through this, although some of my routines will doubtless need to be modified. I wrote to Jennifer Kries tonight to ask her if I could continue, but I also may start using the treadmill at work.
