33 weeks and going strong...sort of.

So, I am at 33 weeks now. No picture today, but I'll put one up as soon as I get one. I had an apointment last week (32 weeks), and was measuring about 31. A little lower than before. I have (or had) gained 16 pounds at my apointment, which I was okay with. I actually got sick the week before my apointment, so that's probably why I didn't gain more. I have 7 weeks at the most to go, so I think my goal of only gaining 25 pounds might really be possible at this point. I have been having a lot of pains and my doctor told me I need to take it easy for awhile and stay off my feet as much as possible. This has been so hard for me though! But everything I do, (walking, elipticle, weights, etc.) causes me to start contracting. I actually went about 2 weeks without doing ANY exercise, and it about killed me! I hated it! Anyway, I started to swim 3 days a week and I think this will be good. Without the gravity pulling down on me, I've felt great during and AFTER the workout which is nice. I've been keeping it really easy. A lot of laps with the kick board, and that sort of thing. Just enough to get my heart rate up, but not put my little baby in danger. Anyway, I'm sure I look like a big beached whale at the pool, but at 6:00am, who am I trying to impress, right? As for eating, I do it quite often. Oh well. One day I'll get back to normal with that again. I hope.

I'm BACK!!

Sorry to everyone that I've been gone so long! We moved to Utah and I didn't have regular access to the internet. Plus I totally lost my resolve to lose weight. However, I have 2 weddings coming up in a couple months and I have renewed my resolve to myself. Mostly for my own benefit, but also looking good for the weddings will be fun too.
So, I have started P90X. If you surf channels late at night, you might have seen the ads for this. It is INTENSE!!! It is all about intense workouts and tailored meal plans to your size. I am 4 days into it and already can see how it is different. It works off the idea of "muscle confusion" so that you never plateau. Feel free to look it up - I found it way cheap on Amazon, but it is offered through Beachbody.com.
Monday I did Back and Chest. It is ALL pull-ups and push-ups! WOW! Tough stuff! I did the full hour, modified a little bit.
Tuesday I did Plyometrics - an intense cardio workout where you spend most of the time jumping up and down - stuff like jumping squats. Way hard!
Wednesday was Arms and Shoulder. This is all curls and weight lifting.
Thursday (today) was Yoga. I learned today that I am NOT flexible! I had to stop 30 minutes into this 1 1/2 hour routine! I will do the rest later but I could not do it any more!
As far as eating, I have been pretty good. I have eliminated caffeinated, carbonated drinks, and have slowed down the sweets a TON! Anyways, I can't wait for the 90 days to be up so I can see my final results! In the meantime, we just keep plugging away!
