Weekend Recap

This is a combo blog from this weekend and today. I didn’t get the chance to write, not that I didn’t have the time, but I was just too tired to do so. That’s all I am now..tired. I used to do my hair and look nice and presentable for work, now…I will just try to cover the pimples with concealer and stick my wet, showered hair in a pony tail.

This Saturday we ran a nice 6 miles. I was apprehensive on the run because I was running with someone that is fast. But funny thing is, she that my pace was fast. We did slow it down around the 2^nd half and we did walk as well. I actually told her about my situation, so it made for a great conversation for the run…plus…I didn’t want to feel bad if I wanted to slow down.

Saturday night, I was finally able to tell my parents about the good news. We called everyone on his side to tell them as well. Even though the little being is the size of an apple seed, It’s starting to feel real.

Sunday..ah…Sunday. I had all good intentions of going to the gym, lifting some weights…and heading to Costco. Well, after waking up at 8:30 after a 9 hour sleep, I felt like I could sleep some more. Instead of hitting the gym, DH and I played some Lego Harry Potter. Hey, it’s a lazy Sunday isn’t it? We did manage to head to the Asian store to get some groceries and some much needed greasy Chinese food.

Fast forward to today. Again, I had every intention to get up at 6 to hit the gym for weights…but I was way too sleepy. Seriously, I had 8 ½ hours of sleep, which felt like I had only 4. I did manage to hit the treadmill during lunch for 3.5 miles. I was going to run outside, but the forecast said that it would be 82 today. The run wasn’t too bad because I was able to kill time watching Bobby Flay grill some stuff. I did slow it down a few times and it did become a bit painful to run because sensitivity in the chest region.  

Let’s discuss food.  First off, the docs say that a pregnant women should gain about 25-35 lbs. Really? Who are these people? I can probably do that easily the first 3 months. They also say that throughout your pregnancy, you should eat healthy foods high in nutrients. Seriously, healthy foods is the last thing I want. Before I was preggo, I would eat lots of fruits, enjoy a good meal of quinoa and have salads every day for lunch. The way I am eating now….this baby is going to look like a cookie. I have cookies every day..no joke.

Even though I gorge on food that may not be deemed “healthy” I have to say that all the foods I am eating is homemade by us, made from scratch,  or not processed (except for the occasional Cheerios and Special K).  I never liked processed food or anything that contained high fructose corn syrup or an item in the store that had ingredients that you couldn’t pronounce, so just thinking about it makes me want to hurl.
