Well...

11-5-16

Okay, so I got up on time and met Amy P. at Press Cafe at the right time. But oddly enough, we didn't run. Instead we enjoyed the moment and walked for an hour. The temp was great- i think it was about 65? People were setting up for the farmers market that's held there every Saturday morning and farther down the trail, a 5k was being put together. Luke's Locker has a training group that runs on Saturday mornings too, so that was fun to see. Amy's plan was to get back in bed.

I feel like I've been lazy. This week has not been good for me working out. And naturally my half marathon is in 8 days and Mexico is in 10! HOLY heck. That came up fast. I really thought my body would look different! Hah. Well, all I can do is make these next few days extra healthy!!

So at some point today, I'll be doing a better workout, probably cycling. I gotta work up a sweat somehow!

Today is also my nephew's 1st birthday party!!! I can't wait to hug him!

-Later-

I did 30 minutes of cycling intervals. The bike fell off the front wheel holder dealy (as per usual) and the bike just felt weird. Wobbly. So we took it to the bike shop (which is a great place to spend money) and Raz asked the guy behind the desk (Fern. His name was Fern...) to put road tires on it! Eeeeehh! I was excited that he asked because I didn't want to bring up an extra expense. The guys at the shop also showed me their online calendar so I can look up and join group rides. I'm pumped!

May?!

5-1-17 Holy guacamole, it's May!! How is this possible. Baby Update: Tomorrow will be 18 weeks! Also, I think I felt the baby move this morning! *it felt like gas, but very different* I'm still fitting into nearly everything I own but prefer to wear good ole' elastic when I can! Workout Update: I counted in my planner 18 days out of 30 in April, that I worked out. Many of the workouts were way less strenuous than I would have counted before, such as playing 9 holes of golf, taking a lunch time walk, etc. Overall I am pleased with how much I did, especially when I felt sluggish most of the time. This month I want to increase how many times a week I do weights (at least 2 for starts!!). I'd also like to swim about 2x a week. The extra day needs to be cardio! In random news, I'm playing with the idea of starting a sensory necklace/jewlery/toys online shop. I would sell chewy necklaces to mothers with teething babies, pacifier chains, chewy toys and...

30 Minute Full Body Workout

5/2/17 I had a long break from work today so I managed to come home, do a few things around the house and knock out a 30 minute full body workout in the backyard! Squats x 10 Weighted Side Leans x15      ------ Repeat x3 Bicep Curls x15 Deadlifts x15 Weighted Overhead Pulls x10  ------ Repeat x3 Tricep Kickbacks x12 Lunges, each leg x10 Modified Woodchoppers x10  -------Repeat x3 Skull Krushers x12 It's amazing how small things wear me out! I had to hold on to our patio furniture to do the lunges! I took frequent water breaks and made sure I was out of the sun. I also took a 30 minute walk on my lunch break along the Trinity River which was great in helping me get all my steps in today!

Chewy Necklaces

5/7/17 Made a few of those chewy necklaces I talked about last time! Super easy to make and a great way to kill time!  We had a party for one of the brothers on Friday and here's a picture of me with my sister in law.  She's 6 weeks ahead of me sooooo... 24-ish weeks? Raz's candidate won his race! So he's napping until church today and I'm sitting around trying to figure out ways to make more $$! I'm frustrated by my lack of OT work, but know that it's all in God's hands. He's provided so much for us and this is how I am learning to lean on and trust Him for everything.
