I love burpees

pm zumba - sooo tired today!  I had a small class, so that didn't help either.  I had canned peaches all day, and that had worn me out. Oh and did i mention that i could barely move my arms from turbokick yesterday!

Mom was visiting and didn't have time to exercise!  Went and ate a bunch of food at peach days in hurricane.  i even had cotton candy, which i don't think i've had in 20 years:)

I was sooooo tired today!  I got up at 7 with the kids, and then went back to bed when my mom woke up at 10 til 1 pm!  I managed to get a 5 miler in on the treadmill later that day.

Beautiful run today - perfect weather!  The sky was overcast at 8 am, and it felt soooo good.  I weirdly had a ton of energy today.  I averaged 8:40 on a hilly run (that's the fastest in the last 2 pregnancy months).  Everything just felt easier even though im bigger.  I love those days.  It was probably from all the carb loading i did the day before (aka junk food binge)

I know i really really really shouldn't be freaking out about this, but I'm kinda not happy about my weight gain.  I've gained 7-10 lbs (depending on the day) and am 15 weeks, which i know isn't alot.  I just feel a lot chunkier in other areas this time.  It's so stupid.  I really have never worried about it in my other pregnancies so i don't know what's wrong with me this time.  I guess it's just cause nothing fits as far as pants go.  I'm trying to just eat healthy and my body will be fine I'm sure.

I taught core fushion today, and then got to teach the young women a zumba class.  they are so cute, even though 1/2 of them look at me like i'm crazy for shaking my hips in the church.  lol

Did Turbokick with Heather, and then stayed for our new Yoga class.  I  was soooo sore from Tues.  I couldn't hold any of the warrier poses cause my bum would cramp up everytime. 

4 miles with the stroller

zumba - 1 hr pm

I woke up this morning kind of dreading my run.  I wanted to go 10, but was so not motivated.  I was feeling a little down cause my friends were all doing red rock relay and i wasn't.  I actually did have 3 teams ask me if i could fill in last minute.  I didn't think my bod could handle all of that.

So I glanced at my phone before going and noticed my friend had texted me at 4 am, asking if i could fill in on a leg later on.  I gave her a call and they were just coming into la verkin, and asked if i wanted to do the next one.  Yes!!! of course.   it was perfect timing and i was only 3 min away. 

So i pretty much got there and started running.  I do need to mention that the first 2 miles were up the la verkin twist - ouch.  I was so awesome though.  I felt bad passing everyone while being pregnant, but they were on their 3rd legs, and i was pretty fresh.  I did get 7 kills:)  I was surprised at the pace i could still run. I averaged 8 min/ mile which included the uphill portion.  The leg was 6.2 and i just wanted to keep running!  I went from dreading my run, to being able to have a support and cheer team, and motivation to pass people.  It was so perfect.  I really needed it.

They drove me back down and i ran another 4 miles , to make 10 miles. 

taught am zumba

I am so loving running with other people- I've always loved it but never have the time to plan with people when i have a more rigid running schedule (plus it's hard to find people around my pace here).  I got to run with my friend Kim today while pushing the stroller, and the time just flew by!  We kept a 8:45 pace too. 

I taught core fushion before and am noticing that i'm not feeling as good to do the whole class anymore.  Too many abs are a little too much now, so i'll be cutting down on that.

 My appetite was out of control today!  I felt like i literally ate all day. 

I went to Heather's Turbokick in the a.m. and then taught my first zumba at the wash rec center that night.  It was such a blast.  Those ladies are so so fun.  I'm going to love it there.  Body is feeling good:)

3 easy miles pushing stroller with monica stevenson - it flew by in a heart beat.  I love running with people! 

zumba - pm

Can I just say that i am soo happy to be able to post this number.  I've never ran this far this much into my pregnancy.  So yay!

I ran with friends who were training for st. george down the course. It was such a beautiful morning.  I was a little afraid cause my hip flexor has been starting to bug, and when i started it was a little stronger than i'd liked.  Usually the hip flexor pain is the beginning of the end for me as far as pregnancy running goes. 

Anways, I was only planning on 10 or so, but i felt really good and got myself to go 3 more. 

Quads were pretty sore from today, and I was absolutely famished for a few days!

zumba - 1 hr

core class - 1 hr

stroller run

zumba pm - I can't remember if i ran

I wore my belly belt and ran down into cholla creek today.  it was a little hotter than i would've liked, but I still eked it out.  Averaged 9:02 - was really feeling last weeks run in the quads!

ZUMBA!  am - 1 hr -so fun!

Oh man where is my motivation??  No run today - I kept puting it off until it was too late.  I did do some of my core class.

Today was the BIG DAY for us....ultrasound day:)  I just wanted to made sure that the baby's parts were all in place and healthy.  Ok and we were really hoping for a little girl!  I'm totally outnumbered with all the boys in the house, I needed a little more estrogen.  Every mom needs a little girl:)

So our first glimpse of our baby was the spine, and we didn't get too much more than that the rest of the time.  Oh and the feet were curled up and crossed too!  After a little bit of prodding and poking, the baby opened the legs a couple times - Just enough to show us that we had our girl!  I'm so so happy! 

Everything else looked healthy, which i'm always ooober grateful for.  We never got to see her face,  but everything else looked good.

My blood test came back showing me being anemic again (not a shock).  I'm wondering if that is where my lack of energy has come from lately.  On to the iron pills.

I subbed Turbokick at Golds and a had a total blast this morning.  Big big crowd and lots of energy.  I can't wait for next week (doing it again).

I then taught my own Zumba at night.  I knew I had to eat before i went, but all i had was my kids thrown together mac n cheese.  I knew i shouldn't...but i did.  Ugh I got the WORST stomach ache during class, and it only got worse after!  I barely made it through class. 

I was supposed to run today...didn't happen.  Ugh no motivation this week!

I had a zumba event that evening and was kind of glad that i hadn't ran cause it was pretty draining....and sooo fun.  We danced in the Hurricane Park on the stage at night.  We then ate all our calories afterwards at dairy queen - I didn't even feel a little bad hehe.

I had a really tired, feeling icky day today.  I wish i could've gotten myself to do something!
