I did the cross trainer at the health club for an hour while reading The Woman in White on my new kindle.  How have I never read this book before?  It is really good!

Yesterday was my 22 week check-up.  It was pretty uneventful.  I weighed in at 131.5 for a total weight gain of 13 pounds.  I was a little over what I wanted to be at.  The lack of regular workouts and the purchase of a big bag of Halloween candy this month definitely showed.  Next appointment I get to do the glucose screening and get my wonderful RhoGam shot.  (The joy of having a Rh negative blood type.)  So, that will be an exciting appointment. 

I did a Zumba class this morning.  Despite my awkwardness it was really fun.  I followed the class with half an hour on the elliptical.  I will probably be doing more cross training than running from here on out, but I still would like to get out for  some mileage.  It's just not feeling very comfortable anymore.
