Workout log for week of December 21st

[melanalyus]

Hey gang! Hope everyone is doing well & hope you all had a marvelous Christmas. It's hard to believe it's over already--I just took down my Christmas tree & stuff.

This week went well considering all the holiday reckus. I think I've gained a couple of pounds. I am definitely lots more swollen than I have been. I haven't been able to workout as much do to the swelling. On Christmas day I looked at my feet & they seemed like alien feet to me. They were at least twice as big as they normally are & they were really red too. So I've been trying to spend as much time as I can sitting down with my feet up. This is super hard to do when your baby's due in less than 4 weeks & you don't even have their room done yet!!!! I did get the crib together though! Today/tomorrow we'll try to finish painting & shampoo the carpet.

I was only able to workout twice this week. With all the swelling, I didn't want to push myself. Besides, my feet/legs hurt quite a bit when they're that swollen. Wha Wha Wha. I know I sound like a crybaby! I have tended to have much more crying bursts lately. When I put the baby's bumper pads & comforter on the bed I started crying b/c I was so happy I'm going to have a baby & I love him so much already! The other day I had a little bit of milk/colostrum dripping from my left nipple-- again I cried b/c I'm REALLY going to have a baby. So silly (emotional). Anyways...

Sun: --

Tues: Step Blast Combo 1-3
Wed: --

That's it folks. Hopefully I"ll be able to keep the swelling down & the exercising routine up this upcoming week. Happy Holidays!!

Hi Melanie! Are we all that is left??? And you will be leaving me soon, too!! With my last pregnancy, the worst part was the swelling that occurred the last couple of months. I feel for you! It is just so uncomfortable!! I thought that it was because I had my son in July (live in Las Vegas -super duper hot), but I guess that the heat didn't have too much to do with it. Swelling is just something that we get to look forward to during this, otherwise, wonderful time!!! Hang in there - you are so close!!

Anyway, what an interesting week with Christmas and relatives. I still managed to get in 5 workouts, reluctantly. Here was my schedule:
Sun: off
Mon: Firm-Vol 4
Tues: C&W-cardio only
Wed: Supersets-UB
Th: Christmas - off
Fri: Firm - Max Body Sculpting
Sat: Step Blast - combos 1-3 (ironic that we both did it that way, Melanie )

I have an ultrasound this afternoon and I am so excited! I just love to see our little peanut! What do you think of the name Makenna? My husband and I were married at Makena Cove in Hawaii so it has some significance for us, plus, we think it is original and pretty! Just want to get some opinions!

Have a great week, Melanie! I hope more girls join us!!

Sara, it does look like it's just you and me. That's okay. Maybe more pregos will join. I have found it very helpful to list my logs. It keeps me on my toes.

Makenna is a nice name. It's different & I like different names. My 9 year-old is named Jory. He likes his name & we don't run into too many of them. Do you know you're having a girl?

My hubby want to name this one, so far it looks like Justin Andrew. It's not as original as I woulda picked, but I guess he has a say so too, It's so hard not to be controlling while I'm pregnant.
Today I finally got to shampoo the baby's carpet. I have to wait to move things into the closet until DH nails the baseboard along the bottom of the closet. It's always something!!! Patience & more patience--this is a virtue that I need to work on. If for some reason our boy turns out to be a little girl, maybe we can name her Patience!!!

Happy New Year's ladies!
