I Worked Out!

Twice!

This pregnancy has hit me like a brick wall and I haven't been handling it very well. I was so scared about the whole thing that I started my complaining before I even got sick. When I found out I was pregnant I thought, ok, I have about one week and five days before the puking starts so I'd better get my house clean and finish up some projects. Wouldn't you know it but the very next day I came down with a bad cold that lasted two weeks. There went the clean house idea.

So I hadn't worked out for a month when I decided I had better get my butt moving before I get too out of shape and too pregnant to do anything about it. The hardest thing about my pregnancies is that I'm too sick to work out but I can't carry my ten and a half pound babies if I don't. I made the mistake of not working out with my first pregnancy and I literally could not walk the last two months. I have worked out with my last two pregnancies and they were so much easier.

The few precious hours in the morning that I can actually stand up I guess I am going to be spending at the gym. I had a friend take me on Friday to see if I would survive it and was able to get myself there this morning without any major problems.

I just wish I hadn't gotten so out of shape these last couple months because I feel like I'm starting over. It's a bad sign when the gym pants you wore throughout your entire previous pregnancy are already starting to cut off your circulation.

I almost forgot to include a link to Jamie's Monthly Marathon. Doesn't that sound fun???
