. So I did good. I feel really energized and not sure how to expend that energy. We are moving to a new apartment December 6th and I need to pack but the allure of the computer and tv have kept me on the couch for the last week! sigh. Just getting back into blogging and such So I will be productive today! Darn it lol I wondered today what the baby feels while I am jogging because I certainly feel bouncy. I wondered if maybe it will get used to being bounced and after it's born to lull it to sleep I will need a vibrating crib or something lol. We shall see
Congrats on the new soon to be baby!! Good Times!!! Also, I love the photo in your Avitar!! It makes me smile everytime I see it pop up in some of the other threads I visit! I am a big fan of flashing "cheesy/fun" smiles in alot of my pictures... I'm just worried I may have passed that on to my kids... you tell me ...
More people should have them. Forget looking sexy it's all about the cheese OMG!! Those made me lol! The one of your daughter is awesome!! he he he I passed the skill of using the camera to take your own picture to my son. He has done pretty well. I can actually fit up to 4 people, including myself and take a picture! It's a skill I tell you.
I like the cheesy pics too
Jogging is freakin' awesome. I used to run 2.5 miles every morning then got lazy. Story of my life. I actually have dreams where I run long distances with no issues. It's really cool.
"Seriousness" kills! Oh, and fitting four people into take it yourself photography is definately a skill. Keep workin' how you are, and after the prego thing is completed, you'll be doin' in reality what your dreamin' about right now!
One last thought... the "got lazy" may be the story of your life, but it's the story of many people on here, including me! I prefer to call it BUSY, but lazy summed it up best!!
lol. Also as long as my BP stays in a good range then I can technically run all the way up to 9 months!! I did about 1.5 miles today in chunks but hoping to get that up to 3 miles with fewer recovery periods. The trail has lots of grueling hills though which make even walking a huff and puff activity for me lol. Of course if I go backwards on the trail the major hills become downhills . I will get there! Thanks for the support! Jogging is the best way to lose weight. In Jan 07 I started watching my calories and lost 30lbs. I added jogging (just as much as I could for 20 minutes 3x a week) and lost another 10lbs. Then I added a cardio weight training class and that was awesome! I got toned and lost another 5lbs. Just have to keep up with it! I think that is more important than what you do. I didn't and the weight crept back. I am certainly a bit wiser this time around but there is still struggle. Just have to keep on keepin' on!
Walking seems to be something you like. Walk for a few months and get in the habit and then try to mix some running in. It will be easier to work from an already formed habit than to just start. I have done it both ways and the habit is more effective. I have been walking for like 3 months now It was time to mix it up lol
I think if I get to running long distances the dog might have to ride in the stroller with the baby! lol. Maybe Spaz can build up the endurance while I build up mine. I took her for a more relaxing walk along the lake shore today after my run and it was nice. I even let her off leash for some independent dog time. She did good. I tested her at one point and stopped walking and she immediately stopped and looked back at me to see what I was doing. She is such a good dog. Now if only she didn't attack other people and dogs!! That is the only worry for me with the baby. She attacks fast moving things and the baby won't be fast for awhile but she is a bit crazy so I worry. Need to establish if she bites the baby she will be in for a world of hurt and we might have to give her away. (World of hurt is figurative.... I have learned that if I "spank" her she rolls over and pees so it behooves me to keep my temperature!! lol) lol
lol lol Isn't she a cutie lol lol Yes it is funny. She was beaten in the home she had before me so she is very submissive when I get mad. Sadly I think it's part of all small dogs nature to "leak" when they get freaked out lol. but I bet she is totally thinking that lol
Yes I do get planter fasecitis (or how ever you spell that). I tend to get it when I am just getting into running and my weight is up. If I take it easier it's not as bad. I got a small spell of it when I first starting jogging again but it has gone away. Ice doesn't really help me. I just have to work through it. My doc told me that when I get it I can run with it even though it hurts but it will take longer to heal if I do that. So I just try to take it easy. I have never gotten shin splints that I know of but my muscles ache. That might be normal but today my calves, quads and hamstrings were so sore!! I know it's the uphills that do it and my calves have been a little tight the last several months. Not sure if it has anything to do with the pregnancy but I am trying to stretch them more. My fingers are crossed that I don't get planter ficeitus again but if I do I am sure I can work through it. I did get it really bad once when I was running a lot at the gym. That took me out for a couple of weeks. I also found out I have a small heel spur too. Just have to take it easy.And this is for jzthedetermined...
Yeah that's right... we know how to roll lol
