I haven't blogged in a while. After Chicago I just really needed a mental break from running. Then, I found out that I'm pregnant with Baby Jameson #4. (Or as Lily calls the baby, Tulip Jameson.) So, I used the opportunity to do some different things work out wise. I've been cycling, lifting, doing Boot Camp, and Zumba. I ran a little bit last week, and I think I'm finally ready to run regularly again. I'm 14 weeks along, and due July 21. I'm 8 pounds heavier (thanks Holidays.) and getting chubbier by the day!!!

I woke up for a 5:30 Boot Camp class. This is a tough format. Especially when your belly is expanding. Lots of tabata drills and jumps. I do pretty well, but any exercise where I change levels (like burpees) make me a little dizzy. I also did 20 minutes on the elliptical. I may hit a 9:00 Zumba class, if I can get the kids ready shortly.

Run tomorrow!

tulip is a great name -- i hope it sticks. :) you could also go with Desnews Jameson if he/she comes a little late.

i'm glad that you have been able to keep the workouts up and enjoy some different activities.

Congrats to you guys!

You missed a whole kid in your personal information to the left there.

Yes, I definitely need to update my info to include my last two children. Plus, my oldest is almost nine and Lily is six.

I'm sure that's at the top of your to-do list. :)
