I've renewed my vow to continue exercising these last 12 weeks of my pregnancy. I did pretty good in the first trimester and OK in the second trimester, but it has been SO HOT in Atlanta since May that I've fallen off the wagon a bit. The last thing I want to do is walk outside or drive to the gym after a long day of work when the weather is in the mid to upper 90s. But really, hot weather is no excuse. I always feel so much better about my body and have more energy when I'm regularly working out. So last night I set the alarm to "early" this morning, woke up at 6:40am, laced up my running shoes, leashed the dog, ate a banana and was out the door by 6:50am. The temperature wasn't too bad yet, so we were able to go on a decent 1.7 mile walk. Wrigley was so excited to be out and about and I felt pretty good myself. So this is my public declaration to continue working out a little every day. Whether it be prenatal yoga, swimming or walking the dog, I will get in some exercise for myself and Lukas.
Did I mention that I went to the doctor yesterday? And they weighed me. Yes, well, this could have something to do with my motivation to exercise. It "could". That's all I'm saying.
Happy 28 Weeks! Almost there. Way to go on the exercise. It always makes me feel better as well.
