~Workout!~

I’m trying to stay healthy and active through the pregnancy!  I was very active when I was pregnant with Ethan as we were in Ft Nelson for most of it.  We lived on the 4th floor with no elevator and I was a rental agent for almost 300 apartments and none of the buildings had elevators.  I was always going up and down freaking stairs!  I also helped Randy grout around 75 bathtubs while I was there.  Lots of upper body work doing that!  I managed to walk away from giving birth at the exact weight I started at…the same day!  I was pleasantly surprised! 

So this time around I’m a little more then nervous about my weight gain.  I have a very sedentary job and not a lot of walking, stairs etc. in my day to day.  So I’m planning on keeping active throughout.  It’s not easy because I’m battling that fatigue you get in the first trimester…so I’m taking it easy.  I’ve got a whole nine months to go yet!  So I’m doing water aerobics twice a week.  There is a prenatal class on Monday’s and then deep water classes almost every other night of the week that I’ll just modify to what I can do.  My assistant and I are going walking as well twice a week to the Multiplex during our lunch breaks.  It serves a couple of purposes.  a. I get to walk and get some exercise, b. It makes me take a break from my desk and clear my head.  We also spend most of Sunday at the Multiplex as Ethan has swimming lessons and then we play for a bit.  I’m trying to get a Yoga class in on the weekends but haven’t managed to get it in yet.  I’m a huge ass chicken and want someone to go with me.  I have two buddies that will go with me but something keeps coming up to prevent us from going.  I’m not sweating it if it doesn’t happen but am hopeful I can do a few Yoga classes as they help so much with relaxation and stress release.

Once baby is here we will be at the Multiplex working out. They have some great Mommy and baby workout classes that I’ll take part in.  (Once I’m getting some normal sleep and feel human of course!) I’m so glad to have our membership there…it makes it easy to inject some activity into our life and for me to get out and workout!
