I’m not brave enough yet to record myself at the gym, but I think I will be soon

I know what you mean but once you start it and continue, you start to wonder what was it that you were dreading for anyway. Nothing. :)

during the first trimester I have found myself eating excessively and using food a stress releaver...

More energy just means more power. Not so good thing might be the stress part but it's a good thing that you know why you did it. Now you can start thinking that you just store energy and power to be an awesome dad. :)

Good luck on the #getinshapechallenge!
