  • 6.7 miles, 4th north
  • PM: weight lifting at the gym with sis

Found my mojo again this week!  Today's run felt good. :)  I figured I had lost all "umph" for running (or moving in general) for the next 4 months.  Last week all I felt like doing was sitting on the couch and eating.  It got so bad that even James said a couple times, "Hon, don't you need to go workout??"  He has never once had to say that!  Haha. :)  Well it turns out someone was just having a little growth spurt!

  • 1 mile on Bountiful Blvd.  I was enjoying it, but my tights were too tight around my waist despite many efforts to move them around...sharp pains, had to stop and walk back to the car.
  • Went home, changed into capris that fit better.
  • 3 miles on the treadmill (trying to improve my relationship with the treadmill...I think it's working!!)

  • 5 miles - 5th south loop

Weight update!  Things are cookin' now. ;)  There are many times I find myself wanting to EEEAAAATTT lots of junk food.  I know everyone wants to do that, but this is serious stuff I'm fighting against you guys!  Hahaha. :)  Here are my numbers so far and my goal for the next 4 months...

  • Best running weight so far: 125 lbs (2010)
  • Starting pregnancy weight: 145 lbs
  • Total pregnancy weight gain: 10 lbs
  • Current weight: 155 lbs
  • Goal preg weight gain: 20-25 lbs* (165-175 lbs total)
  • Weeks left: 17

I'll try and stick to the goal weight gain as long as baby girl is progressing well; I won't freak out too much if I go over.  And I'm not going to count my calories.  I'll just eat when I'm hungry, but try to get the highest nutrition possible. I want to at least try for the low end since technically, being only 5'4", I was "overweight" according to the BMI scale when I became pregnant (!!!).  Definitely not the weight I am proud of, but maybe it helped us get pregnant easier??  Who knows.  I can definitely feel the 30 extra pounds when I run.  It will be nice to be at 125 again, whenever I can get to that!  Just think of all the strength training my legs are getting with each step right now! =0)  Oh how nice it would be to just use the excuse of pregnancy to be lazy and eat!  That would be fun! :)
