So…for the last two months I’ve been dealing with chronic back pain. I’ve seen a chiropractor and massage therapist regularly. I perform yoga, stretch more and wear heating pads all day long. BUT…the pain still lingers. I don’t know where it comes from. I KNOW that every time I work out (most recent: one being my bleachers workout two weeks ago, the second being my short run last Tuesday) I feel extreme tightness the next day. This pain has effected…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Fake it to you make it?
May 25, 2011I’ve been dealing with a small small depression. I don’t know if it’s the hormones in my body or what, but I feel sad constantly. I have a great life, I work from home, I’m not dealing with any financial issues, I’m not overweight, I have a loving family – and yet…I feel sad? Ever since I was little I go through these feelings here and there. I never enjoyed monotonously living without thinking or doing things that create significance…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Feeling pretty awesome
May 18, 2011I feel pretty awesome except for lack of sleep! It seems that Nicholas has been waking up several times through the night lately…it doesn’t help that Christian likes to wake up at 5:30am now either! So – I feel like a zombie all day. Sometimes I get to rest a little, but then there are times when I’m out running errands, dealing with paperwork and attending a meeting. (like today) After my bleacher workout last week, my back started hurting…
Mommy Fitness Blog: May 17
May 17, 2011“I am”
May 17, 2011May 16, 2011 Last Sunday, on Mother’s Day, David gifted me with four books and a date to watch I am at the movies. Besides taking my mother out for lunch, most of my day was spent reading in bed. I’ve already finished nearly two books now! I’m not a big fan of television or movies, but I enjoy documentaries especially ones that inspire, motivate and promote positive change. I am is a movie about Tom Shadyac, a comedy director…
Yes, you read that right. My husband and I were so excited when we found out we were expecting again a few weeks ago. Since January, we’ve been contemplating expanding the family. We both agreed that we wanted another child and it seemed rational to have them all close in age. After all, if I wait a couple years, I might feel like I need two more since my first two are so close in age! As I have mentioned…
My new path to baby #3
May 11, 2011May 10, 2011 My updates have been erratic lately. Most often it’s because in the past I would update this site during late evening hours when I don’t have writer’s block and am free of any distractions. Now, it is rare when I don’t accidently fall asleep with my children at 9pm. Throughout the day I have some moments in my schedule, but not any long enough for me to finish a quality paragraph. Secondly, my children are also waking…
Right no it’s 2:30pm. My boys nap usually from 1ish to 4ish every day…while sometimes I end up falling asleep with them for a bit, I also know that this is the only time I have to sit on my computer and type! Yep, when the kids are awake, they absolutely HATE it when they find me sitting at my desk….especially Nicholas. He immediately comes over, crying, wanting me to pick him up, place him on my lap – so…
