| SWEAT! |
Well. I must start by saying I feel really good! Ever since my 1st adjustment at my new chiro 2 weeks ago, I have been headache free for the most part! (barring waking up with one 2 days b/c I slept too hard) I don't go again until after my next OB appt (which is when we find out the gender!!), so hopefully everything "holds".
I've been fighting the lazy pregnancy bug. I KNOW my body is sucking up excess energy making a baby, but I'm feeling so FAT. Not pregnant, FAT. It's actually yanking me down in the dumps, so I finally decided to do something about it.
First off, let me say THANK YOU to the amazing Shaun T for developing an exercise routine a preggo woman can do and not feel like she's overdoing it. I attempted T25 before and actually hurt myself enough that I never did it again. This time, I'm following the amazing Tania "The Machine" as she is doing 'modifier' exercises since she's recovering from having a baby. Trust me, those are killer enough for someone that's been lazy for about 2 months! And as the baby grows, I'll only get more tired, so the T25 modifier will be PLENTY for the next who know how long. I've tried walking my usual 3 mile track a few times, and I actually have been experiencing a fair amount of hip/back pain afterwards. I don't have access to a nice gravel track anywhere, and I think the concrete is just hard on my body even though I'm not running. I cut it down to 2 miles on Monday, and I still felt it! Worked out with Shaun T yesterday and today and experienced something cool; I woke up with a headache this morning b/c I slept too hard. Drank a little water, put my workout clothes on, and hit the living room floor. Now? Headache gone and I've just got that nice small "burn" in my muscles that tell me I worked them nicely.
I'm listening to my body (and baby!), and definitely not overdoing anything. No jumping whatsoever. I'm going to WORK to stay on track and keep getting up and "pushing play" every morning. I feel better when I do it, NO excuses!
In other news, my new menu thing is awesome! I just came up w/ my one for this week, and it's been a fun challenge to find recipes that use something OTHER than chicken. It's amazing how virtually all the "Fall" recipes are chicken this and chicken that. I'm branching out and trying a few new recipes this week, so hopefully all goes well! Not much happening this week, just working (Saturday too, boo!). No church for us because the one we found this past week is actually shut down this weekend for a whole weekend of "community service". We'll go back next week and see how it goes!
Later, y'all. Hope the rest of your week is great! Love and kisses :D
