I am still in Las Cruces - this marks day three in a city that we were slated to be in for a little over 24 hours. The weather has literally stranded us four hours away from ABQ. While the hotel is nice, the food is good and I enjoy being around the people I work with - I am very ready to go home.
I have tried to be really good and maintain my workouts even away from home. I worked out yesterday and today...running a little more every day. My goal is to be running more than I am walking by the time I travel to Cleveland for my baby shower at the end of March. I have done extensive research and double checked with my midwife to make sure that my running efforts are in line with keeping both myself and the baby healthy - and everything I have seen,read or heard makes me feel like this is a very good choice and an important part of my pregnancy. My balance, well more like my center of gravity is a little off - but every day I get a little more acclimated to my new "stance" and running becomes easier. And I quite honestly feel amazing after a run, I am tired - which is good, but not exhausted, and I am sore, but not in pain. I feel a rush that I have not felt in a while - that one you get when you know you are doing something good for you and pushing yourself a little farther than you did yesterday. And it truly makes me live a healthy lifestyle all the way around...opting for water at meals instead of ice tea or a sugary drink, making smarter choices with food, eating more vegetable, opting for fruit when I am craving something sweet - so really...I truly believe that this can't be bad for me. The main thing is that I listen to my body and I stop when I feel like I am pushing myself to hard...I believe that setting a goal that is reasonable and achievable and keeping track will not only help me to stay motivated but will help me to accomplish that goal. GO ME!
my next goal is to get Mike moving...any suggestions?
