My Life is Adventure

So, one more month to go before baby boy (aka Munchkin) is born. I am still working out (most weeks) 2 times a week. I am walking a mile on the treadmill and then lifting weights. This has really felt good the whole pregnancy up until the last few weeks. Now when I walk, I have constant hip cramping, and Braxton Hicks contractions. All very normal and nothing to panic about, just dang uncomfortable.

My motivation:

1. The mirror: The last month of pregnancy is not good on any woman. My hair is flat, I have cottage cheese thighs, my face looks swollen, I waddle, and I am storing fat for some reason in my arms. Yuck, on all accounts. The good news, this all went away really fast after I gave birth to Mai!!

2. The wedding: My sweet cousin is getting married on June 21st in Dallas, and I am a braids maid. Not only is this wedding around 5 weeks after delivery, it is going to be a huge affair. Call me vain, but I really want to look good in that strapless red gown.

3. The labor: I am really hoping that staying in shape and building muscles throughout this pregnancy will make for a fast delivery.

4. The food: I am trying to be better, but it is basically useless at this point. I want ice cream. I want cookies. I want cake. The good news, I never crave this stuff when I am not prego.

So, all in all I am doing ok, and trying to keep the workout regimen going. Wish me luck!

Summer
