Where have I been?

Well, let's play catch up.  First, I didn't get to find out if I was a warrior or not.  There were several factors that made The Warrior Dash not in the cards for me.  About a month before the Dash, I sprained my ankle. Then I found out we were going to Denver the weekend of the Dash.  Finally, I found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks before the Dash.  So as you can see, there were just too many factors preventing me from doing it. I am very proud of my girl Rachel for doing it.  However, she said she would NEVER do it again.  She said that it was such an over whelming stench of poop that she spent the first half mile to a mile, just trying to keep from puking.  I don't know if this was something specific to Ohio.  I never saw posts from other Warrior Dash's mention this.

So, yeah.  I'm pregnant.  I'm really not a fan of pregnancy.  If it was up to me, I would grow my baby in a big pickle jar on the fireplace mantle.  I'm warming up to the fact that I'm pregnant now.  But I must say, the timing kinda sucked.  We just have a lot of money going out, and now we have even more going out.  We  have to finish the basement, at least enough to put the office downstairs and redo the office into a bedroom.  I need a bigger car and we have to sell our motorcycles.

As far as fitness goals, those are apparently on the back burner.  I was cleared by my doctor to continue with my workout as they were.  But in reality, I felt it was best to not run since I was just getting back from a sprained ankle when I found out I was pregnant.  I still lift weights, but because of morning sickness and exhaustion, I've changed my routine to a full body workout.  I get to the gym 2-4 times a week.  I'm usually just doing weights when I go in.  I really need to get moving on the cardio.  But to be honest, I hate doing indoor cardio but it's just been too damn hot outside to do cardio.

Finally, we're looking forward to a trip to the most magical place on earth.  Montana is so excited.  I'm glad we can give her, her very own vacation before she becomes a big sister.
