Thanks for indulging me yesterday, I feel much better now. Once I got out of the house and started coming up with practical ideas of how to feel better, the sunshine came out. I went to the Botanic Gardens, one of my favorite places in FW (thank goodness it's free) and read fitness magazines. Between articles, I would get up and do 10 squats. It's ridiculous how high my HR gets now.
My non exhaustive plan for March:
1. Document preggers workouts (need more/any photos)
This will be good for me because it will motivate me to make forward progress and to know remember where I'm at. Of course I still want to be performing at top (or even mid) level, but I'm blessed to be having a baby and I need to embrace where I am now.
2. Go kayaking this month
Yessss... What's not to love about this?
3. Work in the garden more
Well, due to all the drama we had last spring, I have more or less neglected the gardens. Thankfully I only plant and deal with flora that has a 'survival of the fittest' mindset. But I'd like to put in more flowers, need to trim back a few obnoxious volunteers, give everything a little facelift, you know? This is great because it helps me feel like I'm doing something, it makes the house look nicer, it's a good workout, and I love being outside and flowers. So much winning.
4. Run 3x a week
Okay, so I'm still signed up for a Ragnar Race, which is currently looming over me. I ran once about 3 weeks ago... Not ideal. Thankfully my longest leg is like 7 miles or so and I'm not concerned about it, but I do need to get to running. It's just a matter of doing it. Y'all help me rekindle this love of mine!
5. Clean up my food.
Obviously. Now that I can eat more regular food, I need to stop relying so heavily on carbs. Weeks 6-8 or so, were pretty shitty and all I ate was french fries and crap. Then, we were in DC this last weekend and all they seem to have is bagels and bar food. So I can happily report, I've had vegetables each day! Which is certainly an improvement, and last night I had some pork, the first in close to 2.5 months. I know that improving my diet will improve my mindset and my physical/mental abilities.
