Yipe!

Sorry to not keep this blog updated. We're moving in two weeks over 1800 miles and I had some terrible bouts of morning sickness which I'm over now. In spite of all that going on, I did work out a little.

I ran 3.20 miles on Sat. November 21st and last week I was only able to work out once. Poor me- I was so sick last week. I went on Wednesday to the gym and did 4 miles on the bike and ran .50 miles on the dreadmill.

I received a blessing by my husband on Saturday and felt well enough to go to church and by this morning I felt 90% better! I felt good enough to run 2 miles and do 20 push-ups and 20 minutes of abs. I'm so thankful! This week is going to be great! Oh, I took three of my older kids running with me this morning.

Here are today's stats followed by the mileage total since my last update.

Run: Miles-2 Calories-200 Minutes-25
Calisthenics: Calories-80 Minutes-20
Push-ups: 20 Calories-10

Total for today:

Miles-2
Calories-290
Minutes-55

Good Heart Rate and Tuesday's Workout

Did I mention my first prenatal appointment on this blog? She checked my blood pressure- really good it was 107/60. She asked me if I worked out after taking my blood pressure and I said yes. She said my heart rate is awesome at 53~! This is going to be the BEST pregnancy yet! I've worked so hard to get healthy and will continue working out. It lessens the nausea and makes me feel sooo energetic.

Tonight, I went to the gym with my husband. Not much exciting happened there. There was a gym-ful of half naked basketball players next door. Not that I was watching-gross- but they were loud.



Oh, I take it take it back, we did have something happen. We brought 6 of the 7 kids with us. Half of them were in pajamas and all supposedly passed "dad's" inspection. I hopped on the arc trainer and noticed Athena (the autistic 6 year old) wearing her baby sisters sleeper! It was stretched too tight, but she was happy as a clam in it. No way- she had to go home and change. LOL

Anyway, I had a great hour long cardio session followed by calisthenics (abs and push-ups). I also ran a mile. I took a two week running break due to nausea- but I'm back. I don't like falling behind. Here are Tuesday's stats:

Arc Trainer: Miles-1.17 Calories-345 Minutes-30
Run: Miles-1.01 Calories-102 Minutes-15
Elliptical: Miles-1.63 Calories-181 Minutes-15
Calisthenics: Calories-100 Minutes-20

Miles- 3.81

Monday, Monday

The month of October was very busy for me with my husband coming home and my in-laws visiting, then my husband going on leave.  Even when I did go to the gym, I noticed I was dragging just a little bit.  This weekend we figured out why. I'm so excited, especially because I am in good health. Now my focus is to keep up what I'm doing while going through this new journey. :)

This month my goal is to work harder than I did last month! LOL!   I started it out right by going to the gym this morning. I love working out, I wish I didn't put it off so much last month.

Today's Stats:

Elliptical: Miles-5.40 Calories-626 Minutes-45 (level 7 with arm blaster)
Weights: Calories-100 Minutes-20 (worked on biceps, a little on triceps, chest, shoulders)
