I just wrote a long post and it just ERASED! So I think I’m going to just bullet point what I wrote because I have things to do and can’t rewrite everything. Here it is: – I can’t wait to start working out next week as it has almost been 6 weeks now since I gave birth. – Right now I’m not doing much for exercise. Just being stressed and running around – My eating is a 7/10. It could…
Mommy Fitness Blog: the ‘inbetween’ stage!
May 19, 2010It’s been one month now since I delivered Nicholas. I can’t believe it’s been that long! While I would like to say ‘it feels like yesterday’ when I had him…that’s not true. I feel like it’s been a month or more as I have been busy with life since then! I have dropped a considerable amount of weight. I’m not dieting very much…I’m actually in the same mindset as I was when I was pregnant. If I want it, I’ll…
Mommy Fitness Blog: 3 weeks post-preggers!
May 7, 2010I was so happy whenI jumped on the scale this morning. I lave lost 20lbs since giving birth and it feels really good. I haven’t worked out – I don’t even go out walking! (Due to time restraints) I think breast feeding, running around working and picking Christian up twenty times a day are the reasons why. I’ve been incredibly busy. Yesterday I woke up at 6am, (not by choice), had to make an emergency errand at a care home,…
Mommy Fitness Blog: my body one week post-preggers!
April 28, 2010I am really amazed at how much my belly has gone down since giving birth. I haven’t taken any shots these past few days, but I did take a picture exactly one week after giving birth to my second son, Nicholas. The first time I gave birth, I remember my belly going down quite a bit the first week and was almost flat the second week. This time however, it seems that my belly became almost flat the first week!…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Nicholas has arrived!
April 23, 2010As I type this my little baby has just finished breast feeding and is sleeping peacefully on my lap. It’s been exactly ONE WEEK since I gave birth and I cannot believe he is out! Last Thursday I began feeling small contractions around seven minutes apart around noon time. However, it wasn’t painful so I didn’t think too much of them. I even went to the hospital for a ‘stress test’ (since I was overdue) and they checked me –…
Mommy Fitness Blog: TODAY IS MY DUE DATE!!!!!
April 12, 2010Indeed it is!! Will he come today? I definitely don’t feel it. I am proud to say that we cleaned the garage, organized the baby’s clothes, packed Christian’s bag (for his baby sitter) and packed my bag for the hospital…I even finished an article last night and am more ‘work ready’ to have this baby…but I still don’t think I am ‘willing’ him to come yet. I still need to finish some paperwork before I can feel: “Okay, come out…
Mommy Fitness Blog: 5 days left!
April 6, 2010…until my due date that is! Isn’t that crazy?!! Most people look at me and say: “You don’t look like you’re ready!?!” David still feels like we have a couple more months. Heck! I still feel like I have three more months. I still sleep on my back…I haven’t experienced too much fatigue – Probably because I haven’t gained too much weight. I’m arond 33lbs, close to how much I gained the first go-around with Christian. Overall I was heavier…
Mommy Fitness Blog: almost there!
April 1, 2010So my life has slowed down some. I decided to cancel my Jog-a-thon that I was planning for April and it was such a HUGE relief! I had anxiety attacks thinking about the work involved. My business’ have all started to steady out and run at a smooth pace. I told David that I was going to take it easy the last two weeks and to not expect too much of me! And SO, while I still work daily and…
Mommy Fitness Blog: 37 weeks pregnant.
March 22, 2010I haven’t been posting mad amounts of material lately because as everyone in the world knows….I’m a busy woman! In fact, I admit that I have not stepped into a gym in the last two weeks! TWO WEEKS! That’s the longest I’ve ever been away from a dance class or dumb bell. However! I’ve been walking a lot, going in and out the car…even walking up my stairs or getting out of bed feels like a workout in itself! Today…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Head down Count Down!
March 10, 2010Well it seems like his head should be down by now? But I feel more kicking and movement more now than ever! My belly has definitely dropped, I feel like my mid-section has gotten tighter and I am SO tired when I move. It’s hard for me to carry Christian (which I know I shouldn’t be doing)…but what is terrible, is sometimes I am carrying him in one arm and 3 bags in the other! Which is why I’m not…
