So baby is about the size of a lime this week which is getting pretty big. My morning sickness is not too bad in the mornings, but around 3pm, it starts to show itself. I cannot wait to get to the 2nd trimester so that I can be rid of this morning sickness and fatigue.
Workout:
I had a little scare last week and have decided to drop from the full marathon to the half marathon Oct 17th. I am sad that I am not running the full, but I have to understand that I have to take care of my body for baby. I am however going to run the Rock n Roll half marathon this coming Sunday..which I am excited for! I just bought this fitness shirt that says "Running For Two", so at least when I wear it while running, people will understand why I am slow......and fat.
I am finally getting more energy to workout a little harder, meaning, I can increase my weights. Since I lost a lot of muscle tone, I know I will have to work twice as hard to get that back now. And since I am not running a full (sniffle sniffle) I will not have to worry about the high mileage.
Strollers:
This weekend I wanted to check out some strollers. Looking for strollers is like looking for cars. I am never the one to just get something because it's cheap. I like for it to be practical, simple, modern looking and the only stroller that fit this was the Orbit Baby G2. Seriously this stroller is just so unique and pretty to look at too. My husband gave me it the thumbs up as well as we played with in the store. Sure, it's pricey, but the ease of use and it's 360 degree swivel will be worth it.
I see a lot of people with these ginormous strollers that looks poorly made, heavy, and clunky. I don't get it. Why on earth would I want to schlep around a tank that would be very difficult to maneuver.
You absolutely need to take care of yourself and the baby! I think you are doing the right thing by switching to the half.
ReplyDeleteAlso, even I can appreciate how awesome that stroller is. I love the red color and modern lines.
