Good Morning,

Today was MIS but I forgot it was over an hour so I'll have to do biceps, triceps and abs tonight.

Well I had my doctor appointment yesterday and it just seemed so official when they said "Congratulations, you're pregnant". My due date is October 3. My birthday is October 4-what an amazing gift.
They gave me a stack of magazines, a book and a Target baby catalog. It felt like Christmas:)

We went to tell my MIL yesterday and I was trying to think of the perfect way to say it and as soon as we walked in the door, my DH(who has such a way with words as you all know) blurted out "Wendy's pregnant." She began to cry, hugged me and said she already knew it-her intuition I guess. It was a wonderful day:):)

I'm already looking in the mirror to see if I have a "pooch".

Have a great day and talk to you all soon,
Wendy
 
Good Morning Wendy and everyone else,

Congrats again on your official pregnancy :) Don't you feel really special?

Did CTX Kickbox, then added on the kickbox segment from 10-10-10 plus CTX triceps only. I will be doing ME later today. I'm feeling much better and am bursting with energy.

OK ladies, need advice:

I have a blind date on Saturday. Now I haven't done any dating since my partner and I separated 11 years ago (yes, I know that's a very long time without any dating, cause everyone keeps saying that). So I'm kind of nervous: what do I wear? Jeans OK? What on top? Should it be a little sexy (short top with a v-neckline or would that be too much. I have really no idea. What do I talk about? What's dating like these days? I really haven't a clue. BTW I'll be 44 in April.

Have a great w/o today,

Dutchie:)
 
Morning Everyone,

Wendy so glad your appointment went so well. Only the doc telling you makes it official in your mind. Enjoy the whole experience.

I will be doing a TaeBo tonight. I will decide when I look at my video library. :7

I have been using stencils in the youngest DD's room. Should be done with that tonight. I have been putting it about 4 feet from the floor, so this is really hard on the old knees. Managed to put one knee on the end of a power cord. Talk about ouch!!!x( Then for some reason I did it again only moments later. Now you can say stupid.:7

Have a great day!

Dutchie,

I wouldn't know what kind of advice to give you. I haven't dated since I met my DH, and that was 17 years ago. But I just had to wish you the best. My DH and I meet on a blind date. We just found something we both where interested in talking about. In fact, it was cars!

Laurie Mac
 
Good morning.....

Wendy...how special for you. Makes me smile to read your post and about your DH blurting out you were pregnant!!

Dutchie...I am a jeans and sweater type of a girl myself, but haven't dated since 1978...:+ You will do fine I bet....let us know though.

I am doing PS triceps and biceps, some abs and a 5 mile run. I pushed hard on my run yesterday so today is an easy run...:)

Enjoy the day....:)...Carole
 
Morning all! I did CTX 10-10-10 today. Pretty decent amount of sweat. My arms are pretty fried. Ever get to that point where it seems like every muscle in your body is sore? I swear when I stand up from sitting for awhile I look like I'm about 90 because I'm so stiff. But it's a good sore!:7

Wendy - Congrats again on the pregnancy! My daughter was born the day before my birthday. It's like an extra bond to have our birthday's so close. And we were only born 3 minutes apart in time. I was born at 10:40 in the morning and she was born at 10:43.

Dutchie - Wow girl! That's quite a workout. I love the days when I'm just bursting with energy.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Katie
 
Good morning!

Hey Wendybdh, congrats on the "official" news!!! And that is SOOOO awesome that you and the baby will be sharing birthdays a day apart too:7 :7....How exciting!!!!

I didn't do all step yesterday as I forgot I had plans to meet with a friend, then I didn't get home until late so there went that plan
x( I haven't yet decided what I am doing, but I KNOW I have to do something!!! I may go back to something in my ultimate favorite, IS....now that is such a motivator!!

Dutchie, that is awesome that you are getting back out there....it's scary I know....because I'm there myself, LOL!!! But you never know you may just end up having a blast! What kind of outing is this?? If it's a little on the casual side I would definitely go with jeans and a nice top and a pair of nice boots (lol, I am a big shoe person!)! Nothing wrong with a little sexy as long as there is plenty to leave to the imagination}( }( !!! I hope that helps!! Good luck and have fun:D

Katie, my mom and I are 2 days apart in birthdays and it is lots of fun!!
 
Good morning,

Hardcore might be shipping next week!!!!! HIGH FIVE!!!

Today I did Step Fit. I like that workout more every time I do it. It felt greeeat today; just what I needed. When it came out it must have been a very popular workout, kind of like Step Blast is today. You can see a lot of the SJP moves originating in SF.

Wendybdh - glad to hear the dr appointment went so well! First babies are frequently late, so I'm placing my bet right now that you will deliver on October 12. Sorry :-D I have a pooch already :-( It's just my slowed digestion making my abdomen swell, so not very "cute" at all. I took my first belly pic this morning, but am not posting it (Jes!), because I don't need that kind of photo on the internet! When the belly actually looks maternal, I'll share :) I have officially gained one pound already. So, at this rate, I'll gain a total of 10 pounds with this pregnancy, right? LOL! (A girl can dream.....)

Dutchie - how exciting to be on a first date!!! I haven't been on one of those in, ah, 16 years!!!!!!!!! OMG! DH is going to Vegas in the morning, do you think he'll mind if I go on a date while he's away, just for the thrill of it? I'll be good...... Jeans are certainly appropriate for a casual evening. Enjoy, and let us know how it goes!

Sandy - you can't go wrong with any of the IS workouts. Enjoy! Yes, LG has some kick-butt music (pun intended). That's primarily what motivates me to do it, too. Dang, I wish she would put out an audio cd of the BB series!

Katie - my father and his twin brother were born at midnight, so they officially have different birthdays. Kinda weird, huh?

Laurie Mac - how was combo 3 of RS last night? Did you see some improvement?

Wendymin72 - I agree with you that CK requires a lot of room. KPC can be done on a dime, and that's what I love about it. Once you get the combos down, though, CK is actually a really good workout. I currently reduce much of the impact in CK, and still get a v. good workout.

Kathy S. - glad to see your coddling your ankle. Enjoy the bat mitzvah!

Jes - fell asleep during a workout! tsk tsk. You're pushing yourself too hard, my friend. How's the mountain of paperwork coming along?

Jean - Welcome!! That was a great workout yesterday! IMAX2 is a hoot!

If I don't find a way to air out my house really soon, I may have to go do my work at the library. This smell is driving me nuts, but it's the dead of winter here, and not the time of year to open all the windows. DH keeps saying, "But I can't smell it!", and I keep saying, "But you're not pregnant!"

Have a great day!
Sandra
 
Good Morning all!

Well after changing my plans back and forth a few times, last night ended up being a rest day after all! lol So tonight it's LL and the upper body segment from BS/BF for me.

I see that the preorder for HC is over come the end of the month...I am considering breaking down and pre-ordering the stretch dvd and maybe lowmax from hc (the only 2 I think I can currently handle) and then ordering the BB series (which I said I was gonna ask for for my b'day!) which I will get the free shipping on...I will think about it tonight. If I do it, I will be ordering tmrw morning...
I'm sooo bad!}(

I only have thru Friday with my current rotation and then it's on to an all CTX rotation. I am really looking forward to that because I really like the CTX series alot!

Hope everyone is doing well and Wendybdh-I'm so excited for you!!!

Have a great work out!

~Wendy~

Hi all, Dutchie congratulations on the date, wear what you are comfortable in otherwise you will be self conscious all night long.:)

I did a hodge podge of leg exercises today. Did PSSL&A warmup, static lunges, plie squats and regular squats, L&G Leg extensions and leg lifts, Pyramid Lower Body floorwork, then back to PSSL&A for abs and stretch. See I told you a hodge podge, ended up being I think about an hour long.:D Felt good no one workout appealed to me today for legs so I guess I made up my own.:)

Wendy congratulations on your pregnancy!! Babies are a blessing from God!!:D :7
 
Good Morning Ladies,

I will try to spinn tonight and see how I feel. Tomorrow I plan to start with PUB and an easy run.

Wendy congratulations, my DH and DD are one day apart. My due date was October 25 but she decided not to share her birthday with her dad, so she was born on October 24th.

Josie
 
Sounds good Calico! i have days like that too!

Sandra: what is up with that "bread smell thing"? weird! that would drive me crazy, but i have a very sensitive nose! i can smell everything. i will call jay on his cell when he turns on to the driveway and tell him i can smell disel and to leave his boots outside! he cracks up and says "how can you smell that in the house?! so, i can sympathize with smells driving you mad! if the smell is making you sick, i say get it the hell out of your house until you feel better and then reintroduce it to your home and see if the smell comes back...if you still smell it when there is no bread, then it's in your head and dh and dd should get to keep it. if it goes away, then i guess they get no bread until your sickness is better! are any other smells bothering you? with your first pregnancy did "smell aversion" last the whole time or just the first trimester?

Hi good morning everybody. Yuupi. Hardcore is so near. Today is KPC in the second day of the January rotation. I have received today the fantastic four dvd. I want to try step heaven or still steping. I am new to the Cristhi's step. I have totally hot cardio, still jumping and hi/low heaven in vhs. Have a great day everybody.

Sandy, the music in PS legs is not anything to get excited about; but, I love the workout.

Wendy, I'm happy to hear it's official:)

Josie, glad to hear you are feeling better; take it slow;-)

Dutchie, How exciting!! I would definitely wear something you feel comfortable in. A little sexy is good. Don't worry about what to say...just have fun! He's probably more nervous than you are:) Like Jes said...more details!! Is it a completely blind date or do you know a little something about him?

Sandra, isn't it amazing how smells can affect us so much... in both positive and negative ways....maybe try to replace the smell with something you like:)

Today is my rest day...so after work I am going shopping and then I'm going to try a meditation gathering at the yoga studio.

I think I'm a little nuts...as I was looking in my workout book and already have my workouts planned all the way through the first of July!!! (Yes, we have been very slow at work:) )

Have a great day
 
Hi Mariangles! when i saw that announcement about HC , my first though was of you!! i have one christies workout and i like the coreography. i have totally cool step.

Lisa, yes you are crazy!!!!! thank God i am not the only one !

jes}(
 
Jes, I love that combo you have planned! I'm going to put it in my notes, for future reference. Have fun!

Sandra
 
Lisa and Jes,

Thanks for the suggestions about the smell thing. Yes, something needs to be done. I can't recall exactly, but I'm pretty sure my smell aversions lasted throughout my first pregnancy, but were most intense in the first trimester. This is beginning to effect my actual food ingestion, because the thought of intaking certain things is starting to get repulsive. This morning I had to force myself to drink my 10am cup of coffee. So, I'm going to start weaning myself off coffee (groan; I was hoping it wouldn't come to this). Maybe I will bake an apple pie, or something with sweet-cinnamon, to replace this yeasty smell that just won't let go of me. Hm. Apple butter in the crockpot might just do the trick!

With my first pregnancy I had to switch to unscented deodorant because the perfumed smells made me sick to my stomach. Oh, those wonderful hormones! Since I seem to be on par with my first pregnancy, it's quite possible that I'll start getting sick within a week or two, and gagging when I brush my teeth.

Anyone else wish you were pregnant? :)
Sandra
 
LOL, no thanks Sandra....I think I will just enjoy this living vicariously through you:7 :+ :p !! I hope the smell aversions subside rather quickly for you, that's no funx(
