Pregnancy exercise is so hard for me. Probably because I didn't do it the first time around. (too sick) Motivating myself to get up and do it is just so difficult. I'm tired from chasing my Sweet Pea ALL OVER the place. Naps are wonderful, I just want to take those.
However, today I decided that I was going to exercise. I put in my Sweet Pea's favorite video, Disneyland Sing Along, and made up my own aerobic exercise. Lots of movement, Weights, and a little bit of Kick boxing really gets your heart rate going. Even if it is only for a half hour.
It felt absolutely wonderful. And the whole time my Sweet Pea was leaning against the couch and kicking her legs up high. SO cute. I think we are going to have to make this a regular activity.
Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

Salt Lake Running Company
We were at the Salt Lake Running Company to get my Hubby some new running shoes. Who knew it would take a man so long to pick out shoes? But the people are really helpful, nice and didn't mind that we were there a half hour after they closed. AND my Sweet Pea loved the store.
You know you have a great running store when they can keep your 1 year old busy for an hour.
She loves the exercise balls. Chased and pushed them all over their new store on 700 East. Fun fun.

Spring vs. Winter
I have been out walking a couple of times since my last post. It's hard to get out when the weather just will not decide if it's going to move on to Spring or stay Winter for a while longer. (I thought that Phil didn't see his shadow this year. Isn't Spring supposed to come early?)
Anyway, we have had a few blistering wintery days and I just haven't had the heart to bundle up my little one to brave the snow. But these last couple of days have been brighter and I'm thinking my walking days are back. Maybe we'll go tonight with my Hubby when he gets home from work. I love that it's light outside longer.
