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...
