Baby Workout 12Baby Workout 13

My body is very sore!!!  I took a break from all workouts during our Fourth of July weekend getaway.  I am okay with this, but my body is definitely paying the price now, as it is difficult to walk up the stairs!!!

We returned from our getaway on Sunday and I must have been feeling an extra motivation boost on Monday, as I decided to join my mom for a Body Pump session.  How I have missed Body Pump!!! 

I kept my weight very light for the entire hour and made modifications when needed.  I never lifted the bar over my head, as this is the only warning my doctor gave me in regards to working out.  I kept my mind in the workout, making sure to tighten my muscles constantly.  A workout has a lot to do with your mind, thinking about the muscles you are working and contracting and tightening at the correct time.  Seriously (!!) try it next time.

Tuesday was a rest day.  My body did not necessarily deserve this rest day after the weekend, but it was definitely appreciated, as I was super sore from Body Pump. 

After all of these rest days, and not being in my workout routine, today it was very difficult to find the motivation to workout.  I decided I would drive to my stomping grounds at my old high school and simply go for a walk.  I had to remind myself that if I start and am not into it, I can stop.

I drove into the parking lot and was so very close to driving right back out and going back home.  But I made myself stay.  Again, I reminded myself that if I start and am not into it, I can stop.

Guess what?  I got into it.  And I kept going.  And my walk turned into a run.  And my run turned into an awesome run.  With hills.  And sweat (!!!)  And I felt a million times better when I was finished.

Remember, the feeling you get from running is far better than the feeling you get from sitting around, wishing you were running.

The hardest part is getting started.  I truly believe this.

Tomorrow morning is my doctor appointment.  I should be looking forward to it, but I actually am not.  This is for the simple fact that I do not want to step on the scale.  I do not want to see the numbers that tell me I will not meet the goal the doctor set for me at my last appointment. 

I am trying very hard not to worry about weight gain, but I find it difficult after my last appointment.  I am excited that my own doctor will be back in town for this visit.  Ben says I should take time to talk to her about my anxiousness toward weight gain and the feelings I am having. 

But more about that later, post-appointment.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Aren’t the over-the-bump leggings great?

I woke up this morning to some wonderful messages on Turbo Teacher, on Facebook, on my phone, and in my inbox.  I am more appreciative of them than you know.  It truly helps to hear your Mommy words of wisdom.

Time to be positive and stay positive, no matter what!! This is such a special journey and I want to enjoy it to the fullest!!

I was feeling pretty great until yesterday, actually.  I do plan to try to eat more healthfully, but will not continue to dwell on the fact that I weigh a bit more than some other pregnant women do at this time.  I let yesterday bother me, let it ruin my day, for that matter.  All bodies are different, mine included.  And I am okay with this.

I am so excited to finally be feeling that burst of energy that I have heard about.  Besides using it for running and Turbo Jam sessions, I have also been using this energy for organizing, and cleaning our house. I have a great start and it is an enormous mess right now, but I will feel much better when I am all finished.  I do not even want to think about the nursery until I am able to remove, reorganize, and clean. 

Ben and I still have so many unopened items from our wedding in storage (!!!) so each day I open some of those and replace our old items.  I have been going through my closets in attempt to get rid of clothing that I no longer wear. There are piles, boxes, and messes galore.  You can find random purging piles in every room in our house right now…

I love the feeling of getting rid of items I no longer use, as this means getting rid of clutter.  And this means making room for Baby Titus (!!!) and Baby clutter is better than regular clutter, right?

Ben, Lilly, and I are now heading to Southern Indiana.  I am blogging from the vehicle.  I cannot wait to get there to see my family and spend some more time on the boat at the Lake, catching some rays.

For the remainder of my ride home to Southern Indiana, I am going to start reading my new Baby book, which I am surprised I did not purchase before now.  I am hoping the book leaves me feeling confident and knowledgeable about Baby.  I am sure you can never be fully prepared, right?

Enjoy the Weekend!!

Be Positive
