Michelle's workout 2.27.13

30 minute walk with Murray

My legs/ankles were so swollen after work today.  I think it was mostly because it really warmed up this afternoon and my classroom got so hot... I just puffed up like a balloon.  It doesn't help that I was on my feet a lot too.  Well, I know that one way to help with the swelling is walking.  It seems counter intuitive, but I will do anything.  So, as soon as I got home, I took Murray for a 30 minute walk.  My ankles and legs are much less scary now! 

Oh, and walking definitely gets the Braxton Hicks contractions going... maybe that's a sign that walking will get the labor going too in a few weeks!

30 Day Shred. I'm enjoying my week off from work, and really enjoyed staying at home today while the rest of Northwest Arkansas had to get out in the snowy / rainy mess. Hope everybody stayed safe!

Mysti's Workut 02-20-2013

Jillian Michaels: 30 Day Shred - Level One. It is snowing here so no running with Sam today. I had just put him down for his nap and thought about doing a Kinect workout, but then started looking online at Jillian's DVDs thinking I should follow numerous friends advice and buy one. While reviewing the various DVDs online, I discovered I could download Amazon Instant Video to my iPad, purchase DVD and "instantly" start. :) Everything on the iPad is so fast and easy! No turning on TV, finding the blue-ray remote, putting DVD in, ect...Oh the day went DVDs were convenient - now we have instant streaming I don't even have to go to the store.

Jilian Michael's Ripped in 30 (Week 1)
30 minute walk with Murray

I did the Jilian Michael's workout this morning while it was still cold outside.  Then the weather turned beautiful, so Murray and I went for a walk.  Plus, he was driving me crazy!!

It was nice to have the day off!

Michelle's run 2.14.13

Time: 15 minute run and 15 minute walk

I did it!  I ran to my 30th week of pregnancy!  I am actually really proud of myself.  I did not think it was going to happen at times, but overall it wasn't too hard of a goal to reach.  However, if I hadn't made the goal, I probably wouldn't have done it. 

I'm not sure how running will look after this.  I may still run (probably not more than 10 minutes at a time), but I may just stick to walking.  The running isn't that bad, but I am so tired most days, it's hard to get up the motivation.  We will just have to see. 

I went to the dr. today and I hadn't gained any weight since my last appointment!  So my weight gain is about 20 lbs.  I'm hoping to only gain about 5 more pounds, but I'm ok with up to 10.

The skirt still fits.  It fit really well when I wasn't running.  However, since my legs are bigger, there was some thigh rubbing and skirt riding up action. 


I looked at a picture of myself wearing this skirt when I first got it.  I can hardly remember being that thin!  I hope it comes back (eventually).

Michelle's workout 2.12.13

20 minute Jillian Michaels DVD

I wanted to run, but it started sprinkling as I was driving home.  I was also tired.  After I rested for a bit, I felt like doing something.  I was actually proud of how much of the DVD I could still do, even though it was just week 1.  I still need to do one more run.  My schedule has been crazy, but I think Thursday may be the day.
