I’m really feeling this pregnancy now. – I feel like there is a ton of fluid rushing through my body (I’m not swollen or anything…but I definitely feel heavier) – My belly sticks out A LOT. – I get tired around 3pm and usually need to nap daily with my son. (If I’m not working) Last night I went to my parents house to walk uphill on their treadmill (as I am trying to kill two birds with one stone…visit…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I gained 6lbs!
February 25, 2010I’m feeling pretty good right now. However, I still find myself sleepy ALL the time. Not sure if it’s because of allergies (which I never had before) or because of pregnancy (which most people say the cause is.) All I know, is that if I could lay in bed most of the day…I would. My schedule has calmed down a little bit though. Mainly because it will start to pick up again next week. Life usually rolls that way –…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I’m getting TIRED.
February 17, 2010Everywhere I go. Baby goes. And. He still likes to be carried everywhere. Afterall, he’s only one years old…thirteen months to be exact. And it get’s me tired! Besides him, sometimes I’m carrying my laptop bag, my purse, groceries, etc. I know I shouldn’t be carrying so much stuff, but I am! I feel pretty good about my fitness so far this week though! On Monday I worked out to Gaiam’s Fat Burning Bootcamp DVD and it was awesome. I…
Mommy Fitness Blog: not posting!?
February 8, 2010Oh wow. I had to look back on dates to see when I last posted and couldn’t believe it was last Wendesday! I’ve literally been swamped since then. I’ve also noticed that I talk a lot about being really busy all the time…and the truth is, is that I AM! I can’t believe my life sometimes. Somtimes it’s literally hard to get out of bed knowing that there is a list of things of things to do, people to call,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
