Zumba - 1 hr
I had a doc appt for the first time in 2 mo (whoops - got busy with the holidays). I weighed in at 145. I had been thinking that i was measuring big, and was wondering about gestational diabetes (ugh, that would be all I need). My heart rate was normal though, and I was measuring just fine. Why do i feel so big? Maybe cause everyone thinks that I'm going to be delivering in the next couple of weeks (nope 7 more weeks). Baby's heart is healthy, but got a good talking to from my midwife about staying on top of my appointments:)
My midwife is great about allowing exercise, but also recommended that I start brisk walking instead of running to prevent uterine prolapse....hmmm. not sure how I feel about that. I feel like my running style is quite smooth and there's not much bounce. I'll prob keep running, but will try to just be reallly smart about it. | |

What an awesome run day! I was so happy to be able to run with my little guys. Evan (5) ran first. It was pretty slow, but he got his 2 miles in (he's doing the 5k at the 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks). I'm so proud of him. He did complain a bit more than usual, and I really think his shoes kind of slowed him down. Time to look into getting him some frees.
Isaac (2) went out with me for a half mile, and actually ran most of it. He ran just as fast as his brother too:) I finished up with 2.5 more at a 10 min mile pace.
walking around costco later, i did notice that my right heel was starting to bug a little, and my feet and calves have just been plain sore lately. I used my trigger points book and got jim to work on them (and yeah it hurt!) They do feel better now. | |

Today was the first time I thought to myself that I may not make it much further teaching zumba. The shaking and crunching in my core was not only hard, but kind of painful. i had a lot of good students in class who knew what they were doing, so it made my job easier... it was just frustrating:( I'm not quite ready to give up yet but may have to. | |

I only had time for a couple miles today on the tread, but it felt pretty good. warmed up for 6 min, wore belly belt and compressions, and ran some inclines. I'm putting along at a 5.0-5.5, but I'm still running:)
My belly is absolute getting huge, and with 6.5 weeks left, I don't know where it's going to go! i hold all of it out front. I'm weighing in at 145.
I got to enjoy a unusually warm day at the park with all my friends, and it's been really nice to talk to people who have all birthed naturally without much grace:) (screaming, cussing, and whining). I've been apprehensive about this birth. Last time was my first time natural, and I went in not knowing how bad it was going to be (it was way worse lol). Now I know and I'm dreading it. I think it's normal though, I'll be happy to hold this sweet girl in my arms though.
I taught Zumba tonight and had another instructor be my demo person. it helped a lot as my movement has gone down to minimal in my core. It is getting soo hard! I can't wait to be able to go to classes and not have to perform.

| I'm trying to remember exactly where this run was, but I'm thinking it was my run around the water tower loop. It felt decent, but was definitely exhausted by the end. I walked every .75 miles. | |

got to the wash rec center pool and attempted to swim today - oh boy. It felt so weird cause the baby was just sloshing around and my abs couldn't stretch out. Not that comfortable or enjoyable, but at least i got it in. Stayed and had lots of fun with the boys in the pool. | |

The plan was to go and run/walk the 5k with Evan and watch my hubby and friends come in on the st george half. Well rain squashed that idea, so I ended up watching (which was really fun). All of them got serious p.r.s somehow on that course.
I ran/ walked on the tread later on since the rain did not abate. I went for an hour/ running every 10 min - increased the incline from 9 -13% and walked in between. I was happy to get 4 running sessions in, though my hips were telling me about it later. | |

| My plan to run a bit got taken over by painting baby and kids rooms. I still feel like i got a great workout with all the stair climbing i did. Did I mention that nesting has taken over my life. Just 4 weeks to go! | |
