Wrapping Up

12-31-16

Holy guacamole- 2016 is almost over! *blessedly* Man it's been a rough one and I'll be welcoming 2017 in with open arms!

Yesterday I swam 1500 yards which is (30 full lengths in the pool)! My freestyle continues to need work, but at least my endurance is coming along. I'm pretty sure that's been my constant refrain.

The last 4 months I've had single calendar pages up on the wall with my workouts on them. Naturally I was less accurate the more into December we went. A quick tally of my runs showed I ran over 100 miles the last few months. Nothing amazing, but it's nice to know I didn't totally stop running, which is what it felt like.

We currently have 2 great danes and a chiweenie, which equals a full house. I haven't done as much planning as I thought I would have at this point.

Rough goal ideas (not all fitness related):

1. Complete first half ironman distance triathlon
2. Lower my average mile time to 9:30
3. No alcohol in Jan.
4. Get my sugar skull tattoo
5. Cut my hair.

Obviously not the only things that will be completed this year.

Be happy. Be safe. Be nice.

See y'all in 2017!

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.
