Don't faint

Yep I actually made the 5:30am pump class. CVS test today. I'll get to see the little peanut and in about 5 days know if it's a boy or girl. Happy Tuesday!

Damn the Nausea

Welcome back, if you're new to receiving this email, it's sent from my fitness blog. I need you people to keep me accountable. I have decided ignorance is bliss and I am officially ignoring the scale during this pregnancy. HOWEVER that is not a permission slip to gain a 100 pounds.


When you are fighting the nausea 24/7 and awake every hour to potty or put a child back in bed...working out at 5am isn't working. The funny part about this nausea is that when I'm working out I feel good, it's just before and after I feel like crap. EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES. Am I really that wimpy of a girl? I have got to man up, or something, because I need to keep moving EVERY SINGLE DAY! If you caught the 'where are they now' episode of biggest looser last Wednesday I was hit hard by Eric's story. The stud of the EARTH gained it ALL back!!! He is determined to not let his story end this way and to get back in the ring and keep fighting. At some level we all have those little demons in our lives that we have to just keep fighting, defeat is not an option!


So you my friends you need to shout out if you haven't heard from this little blog every couple of days...NO MORE EXCUSES!

I did bfl run on the treadmill and stretch after today. If I crank the 'disturbia' 'pump it' and other such songs it tends to make me forget about the nausea, headaches and sleep deprivation.

Healthy lifestyles

I am sitting here sipping a diet coke with TONS of lemon because its keeping the nausea at bay and my two little ones are eating double stuff Oreos while we all watch a Barney video about exercise and eating right. Hello! What is wrong with this picture?

No I haven't fallen off the wagon

Two weeks ago at volleyball I sprained my ankle. I've still been exercising but not running. Saturday morning I did 3 miles and it felt pretty good. Saturday afternoon Brian wanted to do a LSD ride (no that is not a drug ride) Long Slow Distance. Well in my book, it wasn't really that slow but it was for sure long, 20 miles is quite a ways for this novice biker chic. It felt great but yesterday I could feel the soreness coming on and this morning my hamstrings and quads were quite tight. I did 3.5 while Zoe was at dance this morning and ended up walking a quarter of it because my legs were so tight and my body kept saying it wanted these calories to grow a baby not jog down the street. I am really hoping this race has a prego ladies division.

EZ does it

I did 3 miles on the pavement in the cold this morning without stopping. I was slower than snot but didn't stop. Typically I run 4 minutes walk 1. Which my total time ends up faster by 2 minutes....so I'm trying to decide which approach is best. With either one if I'm running with Brian after 5 minutes he looks at me and says "I'm going to go ahead" and he takes off. See ya honey.
