Good morning! I am back. Last post I was 7 months prego and now I have a beautiful baby Boy Named Lucas...aka Luke, sky walker, young Jedi......Yes didn't even think that naming my son Luke was going to result in Star wars nick names....I should have since I grew up on the movies..I am OK with is b/c he definitely looks like a Luke.
So right now I am about 2 weeks and 3 days post C-Section. I have about a week before I can start at least doing some walking and another week before i can start My couch to 5k. I can't wait to walk into the gym and start working out. Kelly wants me to take a water aerobics class. Which is filled with old people but I think it might be a good start for after surgery. I just have to get the OK from the doctors. Then I can do spinning, boot camp, RUNNING!!!! I can't wait!
I am going to start Eating better and counting calories. That way when I start working out I will have that part already taking care of. Even though I am not eating bad now but I know I need to watch my snacking.
Below this post is the birth announcement for Lucas...See everyone VERY VERY soon!
PS.....going to start the Insanity again....not now of course but when get the OK...

Still here! (jenn)
Good morning everyone! It has been way too long since I have been on here. I am now 7 months pregnant and enjoying every minute. I have been very good with my eating and working out. I am still doing my dvd's. not as often as I was before but I try and do them at least 2 to 3 times a week. I walk alot! We went to Disney and we did nothing but WALK, Run and Walk...was worth every pain to see the kids enjoy themselves. Now we are back to reality and school, work and house-keeping,
Weight wise I think i have been doing really good, at 30 weeks I have only gain 20 pounds, give or take a pound or two all scales are different. I have been trying to eat good things but sometime my body wants something crispy and I have to have some Cheetos's or something, but then I tend to have the baked version. I am also obsessed with honey Crisp Apples. We went to an apple orchard and spent $60 on Apples.....they are soooooo good, jonagold were also just as good and if we get back there in time I want to get more of the Golds.....I am pretty sure that everyone knows that I am having a boy and he is beating my insides up. He wakes me up sometimes kicking b/c he doesn't like the way i am laying. B thinks it is funny watching me get up from the couch at the end of the day. The due date is Jan 15 and my schedule C is the 11th. I don't think he is going to stay in that long. Some days I feel that he is ready to come out now....But NOOOOOOOOOO too early. I will take the week after Christmas.....not before..
I really miss running and after talking to my doctor he said about 4 weeks after the baby is born I can start a slow training session with walking and slow running. As long as I feel up to it of course. I am sooooo happy b/c I hate being restricted. I am asking for a membership to LA Fit for Christmas. So that i can do some spinning classes too. I am trying not to stress about everything but it is kinda of hard sometimes when you can't sleep and all you do is think. I have to get a bag ready for both me and the girls in case I do go ahead of time. I also have to get the baby a little snow outfit for the car seat and a coming home outfit. And then on top of getting everything ready for the baby I have Christmas shopping too. Which I think from the looks of it lots of Online shopping this year. Well off to do some homework with Abby and Marissa and then some cleaning up. Hopefully I will remember to keep writing on here since I was soooooo bad and it took me 3 months.....

Here I AM!!!!! (jenn)
OK 4 months....that is how far long I am which is kinda scarey for me b/c I only have another 5 to get myslef ready for a new baby! That is really crazy! Right now I have to get stuff for School and Abby's Birhtday party which we are having at the pool....very easy and it is what she wants! The past couple days have been conplete torture for me b/c I pulled my back and I was/am in sooo much pain and can't do anything about it! I have no clue how I did it but it F@#*in' HURTS! it seems when I wake up it is ok still a little sore but not to bad then as the morning progresses it hurts more. Yesterday I did a lot and I think that might be why it is still hurting! Today I am going to sit and do nothing...well not nothing I have wash to do! BUT it is driving me crazy b/c with how nice it was the past two days in the morning I can't go out and walk! I can't do my dvds! It freaking sucks! So all I am going to do is sit and rest my hip/back.
This weekend is the Duatholon(sp) that I was supose to be training for! Kelly is still doing it and b/c of the slimly little creep who does the scheduling at B work I can't go down with her! I am upset about that B/c I wanted to go and be there with her!
On a little lighter not I had an ultrasound on monday and the tech was so funny......first thing is that she loves her job which makes going in for a vag ultrasound a lot more comforty....The baby was moving all over the place kicking and punching! and so then she asked the question...Do you want to know what it is? SURE.....now i know it is early and it can be wrong but she sounded pretty sure of the gender! As she says" now if you go buy stuff just keep the reciepts b/c it is still early....BUT it definitly looks like a scrotom sack......" I was like WHAT!!! OMG my husband is going to be so happy. then she asked what i had at home and I said two girls and the tech got so excited for me! It really made me feel good! So B wants to make sure it stays a boy so in 2 weeks I have another ultrasound and we will know AGAIN!
So off I got to SIT(blah) I hate being injured!

What I miss!! (jenn)
Well with this freaking 100 degree weather I have not been outside that much! I for One HATE the humidity.....although some people think this is beautiful weather I am wsihing for snow!
So I went walking this morning before anyone else got up that is the only way I get out by myself!
I have still been working out with my dvd's. But I like being outdoors. I am enjoying my pregnancy so far. But I feel like a cow b/c my belly is soooo big, But there are some things i miss and I know most people are going to say beer....But to tell you the truth I don't miss it at all. I never think about it or even want it....What I do miss is my workouts...I miss the insanity workouts, I Miss running, I miss having a race coming up to prepare for, I miss my workout partner.......I am looking forward to signing up for The broad street and only having 3 months to prepare. I am looking forward to signing up for the mud runs and warrior dash and only have 4 to 5 moths to train for that! Lets just say that this little nugget is going to LOVE their jogging stroller! When I get one! I am still researching them to see what ones are the best for street running.
But I really do miss all of those things which makes me a little on the crazy side! But come January as soon as I get the OK from the doctors I am back to running....going to really push myself b/c I will be almost starting from the beginning and train for 10 miles in 3 months this is going to be my motivation to do it! And I want to do the 10 miles in under 1 hours 50 mins.....beat my time from this year!
So I will be checking in as much as I remember too!
Pain is the fear leaving your body, Fear=fat!

Aerodynamic.....(kelly)
So I've got myself signed up for this duatholon and I'm trying to get myself together in the next 3 wks. I went out and got aerobars for my road bike....nothing fancy. For those who don't ride aerobars make you more aerodynamic on the bike...they bring your arms in real close which in turn makes you faster and every little bit helps. Putting them on was an adventure and trying them out was fun....felt like riding a bike for the first time. The bars make your handling of the bike less steady so it takes some getting use to and that's what I'll be doing this week along with running. I'm hoping my biking/running goes better this week.....
Mine are similar to this.....

sorry for the delay...now back to your regularly scheduled program....(kelly)
Okay so I've been MIA partly because I've been really busy at work but also because I've taken 2wks off from intense workouts - I've still been riding but wasn't doing the tapes. I was getting frustrated with the lack of results....I know you need to eat right as well but as hard as I was working out everyday should have seen something...anyway....
Only my list of things to do this year was a Duatholon so I bit the bullet and signed up for the SheRox's Tri and Du - atholon on Aug 7th. So now all my efforts are going towards being able to run and ride. The race consists of a 2 mile run, then a 15.5 mile bike ride, then a 5k to finish. Now I know I can do the events separately but putting them all together is the challenge. So far I've been able to do the run and ride but when I get off the bike I don't feel like I can run again.
My training next week will be biking then running since this week I did run then ride. Hopefully next week will go better......
