Random thoughts...

Laying in bed last night, Chris and I watched a commercial that sums up our life with baby. It says something like "when you have a baby, your life changes." I probably didn't get close to what it actually says, but that is the synopsis. Anyway, we are slowly realizing this will be the case.
I came to work today and immediately, two colleagues commented on my hair. I, for one, have not been pleased by my hair, so maybe it was a polite comment truly meaning the opposite. Not sure. My response was, "oh, thanks," while in my head I was thinking, is it the lack of a haircut, which results in the lack of a style or is it the dark shade that my hair has acquired since becoming pregnant (also contributing is the fact that whatever highlights I had in my hair are long gone)?
I have developed a belly-somewhat all of a sudden. I will have to post pictures.
I am experiencing back pain. Probably due to the fact that my already large boobs have become larger and my back can't handle the added weight! Not sure how this will play out over the course of the next 5 months.
I am crying at "A Baby Story." When planning our wedding, I often watched "A Wedding Story," which is before "A Baby Story." I used to think who could get emotional at this stuff. Now I know--pregnant people!!
Chris and I both are becoming more aware of babies. It seems everywhere we go there are a ton of babies and pregnant ladies. Neither of us took note of this before, but it obvious now. Strange.
We are both overwhelmed at the amount of "projects" we must complete before our child arrives. These do not include actual baby preparations. Here is our list:
1. sand the trim (upstairs hallway, master bedroom)
2. paint the trim (foyer, hallway, master bedroom)
3. tear down the attic
4. install a closet organizer (master bedroom)
5. paint the nursery
6. rip out & replace the tile in the bathroom
7. various decorating projects throughout the house
These items are what come to my mind, but I swear I have dementia already....

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...
