All Clear

I had my six week check-up on Friday. Well, everything is back to normal and I guess I'm cleard to exercise. The doc never said anything, actually, and I forgot to ask. I'll assume that since she said I was normal that I'm good to go. Darn. I was hoping she would look at me, alarmed, and say, "You should not ever exercise again!" That won't happen, ever. Ho, hum, back to the daily grind.

How fun is jogging? =0)

Well, since last Wednesday I have been trying to really eat right and actually exercise. After I went jogging on Thursday I lifted weights on Friday. Saturday and Sunday I didn't do anything! Oops! =0) Monday got away from me too which I was really bummed about. I went jogging on Tuesday and I lifted weights on Wednesday. I didn't get to go jogging last night because I had to go help Clay out at work until 7pm and we didn't get home and done eating until 8pm and then it was too late. I feel good, but I made cupcakes yesterday (bad idea) and ate 4 through out the day. Isn't that horrible. I had 2 for breakfast this morning so now I need to lift weights and run today like a million times!! =0) How is everyone else doing??? Love y'all!!

Boxing

No, not boxing up maternity clothes (which I finally did today) but boxing with two guys pounding each other for no reason. That's all Brian is interested in with the Olympics. But I managed to watch a bit of swimming - which seems to be all that is on in Hawaii - and some gymnastics. I think I am inspired, but beyond feeling inspired...maybe not. I'd like to go jogging. My discharge papers said I could jog at 4 weeks, but I'm waiting until 6 weeks. Only two more to go...I don't know if it's what is doing it, but everyone says that Breastfeeding helps you to lose weight - maybe that's what's doing it. Of course, it would be nice if breastfeeding would replace fat with muscle :) Oops, baby is up - gotta go, I'll post more later! Love ya'll!

The Tread Mill Trend

So I guess I started a trend. Everyone is getting a tread mill. Erin and Jason just got one and I think you mom is getting one, if she hasn't already. Well I went to the doctors yesterday and lost 9 lbs. YEAH go me...I need to now lose 25 lbs to be where I was when I get pregnant with Julia, which is my goal or at least 5 lbs within that number range. Well the tread mill seams to be working for me, so I definitely recommend it, especially with the Fall coming and (work starting for some of you) Well I guess Katie is the only one who will have great weather all year round lucky her, Well keep up the good work girls. Love Ya

Jogging anyone!! =0)

So this morning Clay was off until 2pm and Gabby had a doctor's appointment at 11:30am. So I got up at 9am and decided to finally exercise. I took Zaidy with me for the first 3 laps and then did two without her. I walked the first, ran the second, walked the third, ran the 4th and walked the fifth. It was great. Then when I got back to the house, Clay and Gabby were still sleeping so I worked in the garden. I finally pulled all of the evil weeds that had tried to take it over out. It looks alright now, but boy is it a pain to keep up with. I haven't tackled the front with the sunflowers yet, but I hope to get to it tomorrow. Eating has been alright too. I unfortunately ate a brownie before I left to run, but when I got back I had a small bowl of cheerios and then for a lunch, you'll love this Molls, a salad. It was pretty good too. I did have a brownie after awhile, it looked to good. =0) Dinner was good, a hamburger and chips. Plus I have only been drinking water the past couple of days, finally getting rid of the soda craving. He he!! How is everyone else doing? =0) Watching the Olympics has inspired me to change our exercise blog to this background, maybe so we can get some inspiration to get in shape. He he!!! Love y'all!

I can't get into the swing of things!

I don't know what my problem is...but I just can't get into working out :( I know when work and school start back up it's gonna be even more difficult so I'm gonna really try to get into it the next two weeks, maybe then it won't be so hard to keep up. I think I will go running in the mornings and do some kind of arm and ab work out in the evenings...maybe that will work. So how's everybody else doing with their regimes? (sp?) Hope you all are good! Love you!

Well....you guys are definitely what I needed to read!!

Seriously, I am so glad I got on and you guys had posted today. =0) Unfortunately I got a virus on the home computer so I have to wait for Clay to get home to get on the laptop, and so it stinks not being able to get on until late. I got up this morning and finally weighed myself after a week of not wanting to do so, and I have gained two pounds, so I wanted to cry. I decided that today was definitely the day to get up and start eating right first. I fought with myself over getting KFC for lunch, and thankfully I did not give in. =0) I still came home and had mac-n-cheese, but hey, it's better than the fries, right? =0) So I hope you guys keep posting, so I can at least remember that I'm not alone at this. Molly, you still look tiny no matter how much you say you weight. =0) Love y'all!!!

Salad...yum!

So, I know that you guys think I don't look like I need to diet...but like I tell Nick I am 5'2" and I weigh 135!!! Katie weighed that when she was in college....and she's 5'10''!!! So, yeah I ate ceasar salad today with croutons for lunch and it was really yummy! I think when work starts up I will be bringing healthy lunches to school...do you guys have any suggestions? I know salad is good but what else would be fulfilling and healthy? Anyways, I haven't gotten into running with Nick yet, he doesn't think getting up around 6 am is good, but it seems like the best time here in humid NC. Anyways...love you all! Keep up the exercises!

On My Own

So, I ventured out on a walk yesterday morning with the boys and the baby. Brian was at work already. Probably won't be doing that again any time soon. Galina cried most of the way so I had to pick her up, thought she was hot, took off everything but the onesie, still cried. Carried her all the way home, had to pick up poo that was not solid. Good thing the boys are trained to walk with me without leashes because holding Galina and pushing the cadillac stroller left little room to hold leashes. So, I'm carrying Galina, trying to get home without tripping and falling or melting (it was hot) and it started raining on us. Fortunately it didn't pour until we got into the house - in a week I'll be able to start jogging, that's not going to happen unless Brian is home :)

Hello Where is Everybody?

OK girls how come I'm the only one posting...OH I know why because I'm the only one exercising....Hey Katie is the only one with an excuse..Anyway I got on the tread mill today and walked/ran a little over a mile in 17 minutes. Hey I went a mile in a half hour last week. Also, I have moved my walking speed from 2.5 to 3.7 and my running speed from 4.0 to 4.3. I feel like I am making much inprovements. Also, I called Johnny when I got off because I felt like my work out was really hard today for some reason, and noticed the incline on the tread mill was moved to the greatest incline it could go, UP HILL. Well anyway it wasn't him. Sunday Jason and Lil Jason were messing with it wasn't that nice of them. I think I'm going to keep it there. Well I do have to say I do miss you now Katie everytime I get on the treed mill I think about our walks when you were hear. Oh well fun times love ya guys Kerriann
