Yogi Yoga

11-4-16

Oh man, so yesterday I wasn't able to get my run in due to conflicting plans. No biggie, I thought, I'll just make it up in the morning. Well, that didn't happen either. Hmm... my body said 'no thank you' and promptly rolled right over. I feel well rested, though my body is still a bit achy. Yoga it is! I'll focus on mobility and foam rolling. I won't consider this a 'lost' morning, I'll just think of it as a rearrangement of my priorities! Maybe it was super important for me to stretch it out this morning.

We've been out of groceries for the last week or so and neither of us has had the time or the inclination to actually go to the store. I keep saying I'll make a meal plan so we know what we'll be having and the right amount of stuff to buy. That hasn't happened either, clearly not a STRONG priority for me at the moment. Raz and I decided to do date night tonight,but it looks like that will be going to SAM's and possibly Winco to stock up on food. *hot date*. I've been eating too many carbs and not enough fruits and veggies. My protein is fine but my fats need a kick in the pants too. JillFit's Action Academy recordings are so inspiring that it makes me look at my 'conundrum' of struggling with nutrition and want to make solutions.

Ragnar Texas Recap!

4-10-17 Y'all may faintly remember that I did the Texas Ragnar; running from Batrop to Luckenbach with 11 other women in a single van. Van trip down We stayed the night in a roach-coach in Bastrop and while I slept like a log, 2 of the girls in our group did not sleep a second. Something about me having to kill roaches in the room really freaks some people out. That 4am wake up call came early. Our start time was at 5:45am, but naturally we had to be there an hour before hand to get "prepped" and to hear the safety stuff. I was runner #2 *heh*, so I received the slap bracelet (baton) around 6:30am and took off on my first leg.  Leg 1: 4.20 miles Actual distance/time: 4.5 miles in 48 minutes (10:38 pace) It was beautiful and now I wish I'd taken a few photos. I ran as the sun was coming up and through fields of wild flowers. There was mist covering the pastures and scenic bridges and cattle abounding.   I was fine with this because I star...

Crampy Cramps

4/21/17 I was able to add in freestyle strokes to my swim the other day and while I was not blazing fast (keep your surprise to yourself, please), I completed my mile in 54 minutes, instead of 58. I'll take the improvement!  It felt good to move like that again. Yesterday I woke up exhausted and instead of biking/swimming, I went for a long walk at lunch time and did some yoga. In the evening I was loading the dishwasher and had an uncomfortable sensation in my low abdomen and lower back. Not necessarily pain, but dull and achy. This happened on and off until the time I went to sleep. I texted the midwife about it and she encouraged me to drink more water and said we would test for a UTI, just in case. Slept great through the night, but started having the same crampy pains after being awake for an hour or so. I had planned on going swimming but the midwife encouraged me to take it easy until our appointment later today, just to make sure everything was 'normal'. N...

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.
