Quick update

I know I haven't been posting very much, that is partially because I don't have much to post about and partially because I have just been lazy. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive! As far as working out, I have been spotty the last couple weeks. the 2 things that I always stick to are my personal training sessions and my bootcamp classes. as far as doing cardio on my own, I am just not motivated to do it anymore. every since the DR told me not to run anymore I don't want to do anything. Even though I know I can walk on the treadmill or do the elliptical. So for the last few weeks I have been doing 3 half hour personal training sessions and 2 3o minute bootcamps each week. I did do cardio here and there, but not very much.

I just got back on Tuesday from Cancun. I was supposed to be home late Sunday night but a stupid snow storm hit and I got stranded in Charlotte, NC for 2 days. My flight Sunday night was cancelled, I rebooked it for Monday morning, and that flight was cancelled too. All the rest of the flights on Monday were full so I had to wait until Tuesday to get home. It wouldn't be so bad except my husband left on Wednesday to go to California for work until Monday. So I only got to spend a few hours with him :( I wish I was still in Cancun, it was sunny and warm the entire time we were there. It was a girls weekend away before my sister gets married.

So I think I was motivated to post today because the weather is unusually nice and I got outside for a walk. It makes me sad to not go for my normal 4 mile run since it is so nice out. It took me 34 minutes to do 2 miles. But I guess it is better than nothing.

Oh, some baby news...I think I can feel them moving! I'm not 100% sure because I have never been pregnant before but I definitely feel something on one side in pretty much the same spot every day. It is very cool but very strange. I can't wait until they are big enough that my husband can feel them moving from the outside! Ok, on that note, I am going to go back to cleaning. That is how I am spending my nice quiet Saturday alone. I've already done the Kitchen, Dining room, Living Room and bedrooms, I just have 2 bathrooms left to do. I hate cleaning the bathrooms the most!

Today's Workout...OK, Maybe not

I know, I'm way behind, but I don't think I am even going to bother going back and catching up. I did pretty much the same as I have been doing...Trainer appts and cardio. I have finally started running a bit more again. I actually jogged on the treadmill twice last week, so I've still got it. I guess that brings me to why my workouts went from being very intense to being pretty boring and slow...I'm 12 weeks pregnant with twins! And these two babies have been sucking the life out of me!!!! I haven't been sick at all, just exhausted. Creating two lives at once makes me tired! I was waiting until today to share this because A. I wanted to get through 12 weeks before sharing, and B. we had an ultrasound this afternoon. I wanted to be sure that everything was OK before I told everyone. And it was, we saw two little babies wiggling around inside me :) My due date is August 31st, but with twins I probably won't make it that long.

So I have been feeling much better since last week. I am getting some energy back and have been testing the waters with running again. I have been able to run at 5.5, which is slow for me, but I am happy that I can do it at all, so it will have to do for as long as I can handle it. then I will be walking. I will also continue to work out with my trainer as long as I possibly can, then it will be his job to whip my ass back into shape after the babies are born. So there you have it, my big news. I have been dying to tell people, but now that I can I am a little scared to call up my friends that don't know yet and share the news. Hmm, I kinda hope none of them stumble on this blog and find out like this rather than me telling them!

So I'm thinking that along with documenting my workouts here, I will also talk about how I am feeling along the way. So far, other than being tired, I feel chubby. I am already showing a bit but it really just looks like I am putting on weight. I am waiting for my stomach to get nice and round and hard and pregnant looking so that I don't feel so self-conscious. Gaining weight is so hard for me, even though I know it is for a good reason. I feel like I have worked so hard over the last 2 years to lose all this weight and keep it off and it is just coming right back on quick. I just hope it comes off as quick after the fact. Then I will never have to go through this again because I will have the two children that I wanted :) Ok, I need to go prepare to watch Lost!
