February 2, 2010 I have 10 more weeks left I can’t believe it! The baby loves to wake me up at night and move rapidly inside my belly. Christian often grabs my tummy and notices its large appearance. I feel excited, anxious and nervous about the birth of our son Nicholas but my most overriding feeling is the need to settle all my projects before he arrives. In a few hours I’m attending a Fitness without Border’s board meeting where…
Mommy Fitness Blog: working! Working! WORKING!
February 2, 2010I’ve been a crazy working mom lately. NON STOP. The only time I have some real peace is in the morning time. I’ve stopped going to my 7am fitness program at the school (for my nonprofit) since we have a fitness coordinator and an intern there…however, I do try to make it out there once a week. At first I thought I wouldn’t take it well since I like to get up early (even though every time I do I…
The Unexamined Life….
January 29, 2010January 28, 2010 The unexamined life is not worth living. – Socrates We attended the Walk for Life in San Francisco this past weekend. It was wet, cold and crowded. But regardless of the turbulent weather, we marched with courage and utmost conviction. Years ago, a couple friends told me that stating my beliefs would polarize many of my readers. After all, the topic of abortion creates a lot of moral debate. I don’t assume that all my friends or…
Mommy Fitness Blog: 7 months preggers!
January 26, 2010I’ve gained 18 pounds so far. I’m 29 weeks pregnant and am REALLY feeling my 3rd trimester. The baby moves all the time and hates it when I sleep on my back! But I LOVE sleeping on my back 🙁 This morning I woke up with Christian laying his head on my bare tummy. So cute! And I didn’t want to move him so I can switch to my side 🙁 It’s Tuesday and I DO plan on working out…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I am SOOOO pregnant right now.
January 21, 2010My Belly has seriously expanded and hardened. I feel like I waddle when I walk! Seriously. AND my back hurts. It all just hit my body now that I am in my 3rd and last trimester. This past week has been good for me though. It’s been VERY restful. Actually, probably too restful. I like to be somewhat busy – but since the weather is bad, it’s hard for me to get out of the house if I don’t HAVE…
Mommy Fitness Blog: goals this week.
January 14, 2010I have been so incredibly busy this past week – in fact these last two days I’ve honestly laid in bed early in the evening, just to lay in bed and do absolutely nothing. Every day begins with the school fitness program, then I come home to wake and feed the baby, then I work on emails, then I have meetings, then I have errands, then (if I am lucky) I get to work out, then I write articles, then…
Focusing on the Future
January 12, 2010January 12, 2010 I am so tired. I am now in the third and last trimester of my pregnancy and am seriously wondering where the time has gone. I’ve been so incredibly busy sometimes I feel annoyed, fatigued even resentful. Somehow I feel like I should be enjoying prenatal pedicures and spending hours laying in bed talking to my belly. Sometimes I wish I had time to spend hours shopping for cute newborn outfits or hunting for a great maternity…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Happy Birthday Baby Christian!!!
January 8, 2010Exactly one year ago, I gave birth to our first child, Christian!!!!!! He was 7lbs 14 ounces and 20 inches long. I cannot believe how fast a year has gone by. He is walking, laughing, playing and having a ball becoming a toddler. Becoming a mother has changed my life completely. I am in complete adoration for this little man…my sunshine man…(because he brings the light into my life.) Not only has it made me appreciate my parents more, but…
My Resolutions.
January 6, 2010January 5, 2010 This year has started with a bang. I have an important parent meeting Wednesday for my nonprofit program, an Open House for my new business Thursday, my grandfathers (and Christians) birthday on Friday and Christians 1st birthday party on Saturday. These last few days have been inundated with running errands, purchasing supplies, inviting people, organizing agendas, completing projects and checking off to do lists. While preparing for these events, I am still performing my daily work, which…
Mommy Fitness Blog: New Year’s Fitness Resolution
January 4, 2010Happy New Year! We spent New Year’s cleaning the house, then having some food at my parents, then a late dinner at a nice restaurant called “The Firehouse” in Old Sacramento downtown. It was wonderful. After consuming crab bisque and array of appetizers, we put our party hats on and watched the fireworks from their courtyard at the stroke of midnight. I couldn’t have planned a better way to start the New Year. Now, I am actually trying to keep…
