Well, I finally pushed play on a workout DVD today. I've been telling myself that my walks are good... but there's something about the Baby on the Way DVD that energizes me.
Walks have sadly become walk... I'm getting my morning mile outside but haven't been able to bring myself to head to the basement in the hot afternoons. Reading at my desk with my fan just sounds nicer. I did get myself a large balance ball and have been using that as a chair at work. The directions specify that it's not a chair... and that pregnant women shouldn't use it. Guess I'm living on the edge... But since using the ball and lightening my work bag my hip pain has almost totally vanished.
Unfortunately I came down with a head cold last week. That was the most challenging thing about the DVD today. I had thought that the sinus pressure part was over... but anytime my head was lower than the rest of my body I rediscovered the pressure. So, I modified. Shame, I like the downward dog in all other parts of my body...
Well, Shakeology is gone and it's time for bed. I've discovered that drinking that right before bed keeps the protein levels up overnight and I sleep really good. Odd, since when I'm not pregnant I use Shakeology more to boost energy and stay awake. I guess my body knows what it needs...

Been a While
Wow, it's been a while since I've blogged. The hubby was nice enough to fix my technical difficulties. I don't feel so bad though, because of the blogs I follow none have been updated for like 2 months. Apparently it's just not blogging season...
So, I'm still not doing my Baby on the Way DVD as much as I'd like. With the lighter evenings our boy hasn't been going to sleep until 8 or so and that makes it harder. But, this week the hubby and I have committed to getting back to pushing play. He's going back to Insanity and I'm going to do the Baby on the Way.
Funny how you can be totally used to working out 5-6 days per week... then when you let it slip it seems so hard to restart. At least I'm continuing to walk at least two miles per day on my breaks at work. And I got a balance ball to use at my desk. It should be good for posture, as well as the baby's position. I plan on starting it tomorrow. Actually brought a ball in today... but I think the box was mislabeled as 65cm. That was one tiny ball. So, it is being returned. Have a 75cm ball for tomorrow.
