I’m sure everyone is sick to death of me whining that I just can’t seem to get my act together regarding exercise. No one is more sick of it than me!! I took my biggest excuse to myself, and just decided to FIX it. It isn’t waking up in the morning, I’m usually awake by 5am regardless of schedule or day of the week. I just can’t seem to sleep very late anymore. My number 1 excuse is it is too damn cold to go outside that early in the morning . Especially swimming cuz I don’t like to come home damp and frozen. It just kills me. So I went to the store and got a a gym bag and shower supplies. I know this sounds like I’m avoiding the issue that I’m just not determined enough to make it to the gym.

So Friday, I decided to end the week on a better note than the rest had been going. I went to the gym! Now, before you get too too excited, I went and walked 1 mile on the treadmill. I was going to do fitness equip too, but hubby wanted to go on Saturday to workout. I didn’t want to do it two days in a row with the weights. It was a start though!

Saturday, I woke hubby up and asked him if he was going to get up and go with me to the gym. His answer, was I going to be angry if he declined? I told him either way I was going to go, but I needed to know in advance cuz I wanted to make it to open swim if he wasn’t going to go. He said he wasn’t. I said fine, and got ready to go swimming. I went in sweat pants over my swimsuit, and didn’t get cold at all!! I showered and dressed afterwards and felt like a million bucks. I swam 5 laps. Not a lot for most, but it is a strong start for me!!

I took Sunday off, and this morning went to swim again at 5:30am. Felt great and increased by 1/2 lap! My son and I are going to the fitness center after work. I don’t know if I will just walk or if I will go ahead and do strength training too. Either way, I’m going to get ‘er done!

My eating has been excellent. Not much junk and lots of healthy baby-making food! I came to a realization. My body is not weak just because it is pregnant. If anything, it is stronger and capable. Yes, there are precautions for pregnancy which I will never take lightly, but I’m going to revel in all that my body is capable of and treat it the best I can!

On a BAD note (and an embarrassing one!) I did something really stupid at lunch break. I wasn’t paying attention and stepped on a rock funny. Twisted my ankle and fell flat down on my hands and knees. I haven’t noticed any bad side effects past my ankle hurting and my pride being all bruised. I wanted to make note of it here though.. just in case!

I hope everyone is having the most excellent day! I am planning on ending mine well. Sounds like hubby might be off work and spending the evening with us tonight! I’m so excited!
