Back to Basics

So I officially was able to start back working out at the gym and with K on the 1st of April.  I've only been to the gym 3 times and 2 of them were workouts with K.  The 1st time alone and with K were very discouraging, I still wasn't feeling well and could not get my heart rate up and had no speed or endurance.  But today I was BACK!!! Last week I started feeling better almost 15 weeks to the day and I started feeling like myself.  It's been a week of feeling good so I think I can say that I am on the mend and not be jinxing myself.
The first work out with K consisted of only 6 exercises, normally we do between 9-12....so fell short there.  And then on my warm up I couldn't get my speed up past 4 and normally I am 8.5-9, and burn 110-125 calories in 10 minutes, at 15 minutes i still hadn't reached 100 calories.  So it was really frustrating and I was so sore afterwards.
Today thought I got back to normal.  I was feeling so good and accidentally got my heart rate up to 193..I am supposed to keep it around 150-160, and no higher.  I was just so excited to be feeling like myself.  I got to 100 calories burnt in my warm up at 11:30....so better.  Then with K we got 9 exercises in...again better.  
So hopefully this is the start of things to come!

Out of the woods

and off bed rest!! I get to start training April 1st with K again and will get back to updating about the training.  I am really excited! Not to sure on how my body will take it but hopefully by that time some of the symptoms/side effects of being pregnant will be over or at the very least manageable (seeing as that it will be 3 full weeks from now).

Things I didn't know about being pregnant

....well for a brief summery ALOT!

1) That morning sickness lasts all day...and night

2) That the pregnancy glow in my case is due to copious amounts of oil...and I am back to having acne...worse then as a teenager

3) It is exhausting growing a little being inside 

4) Your favorite foods can quickly become enemy number one....chocolate and pizza really...come on lentil bean give me a break 

5) A person can survive on simple carbohydrates and the occasional steaks.  Both breads and a lot of meat are not something that is in my normal diet.  I only was eating meat maybe once a week and one or two small servings of complex carbs a day.  Right now this is what will stay down...so I eat it.
6) Some days your boobs hurt so bad that you will wear two bras a regular one and then a sports one over top so they DO NOT MOVE.
the list could go on and on but I am to tired to think and some days I don't even know what comes after 6 so we end the list  

Update

So I have been avoiding the blog writing until I was willing to share with the world what has been going on.  LB and I are expecting a little one in September!  We are either 9.5 weeks(ultrasound due date) or 11 weeks(last day of period).    It has/is a bumpy ride.  All the training with K and for running the 10k is put on hold for a little while.  I have been on bed rest for the last 2 weeks and am "off" bed rest, and just have some limitations placed on around my life. I think for now this is about all I am willing to share.

Brighter than the sun

My sister claimed this as her summer song...I think I will grab it for my winter/spring and summer song.

Last week

I've been MIA at the gym and at school this past week, as I am pretty sick right now.  However I did manage to drag myself out of bed to go to the ballet on Friday...a lovely birthday gift from LB.  I had never been and I always imagined that ballet dancers were skinny and unhealthy looking...this could very much be media based.  Not the ones I saw dancing we were up in the second level at the play house and about half way up and you could see their muscles.... unbelievable!
Hopefully this week leads to the gym as K is going to seriously hurt me if I miss one more appointment!
