Leopard color run

On saturday I ran/walked (2 minutes:1minute) a 5k color type run. I think it maybe should have been called a powder run tho because it was basically they water you and the throw powder on you....

I dunno I didn't want to do all that so I kinda party pooped and went around the stations. I'm 18 weeks pregnant and I don't know what's in that stuff and inhaling it didn't sound fun to me so spectating at least that portion was fine by me:)

however the throwers of color didn't like my idea so I pretty much had to hide from them which I did we'll until the finish where this guy thought I was a challenge and he throws it all down my side. Didn't get it in my face so I was glad for that.

My friend Amy did it too she got colored :) here's a pic:) I hadn't seen a picture in this view (most all the pics I've taken lately are sideways to show my bump) and boy did it shock me I look huge in this picture:( sccccaaarry! Hope I can lose this weight!

My plan post baby is to join weight watchers,run and lift weights.... That should be a piece o cake with three kids and a man child right? Lol no I'm
Kidding I think my man child will help me make it happen - I hope!

How long did you wait to start exercising again post baby?

TGIF

The weeks are flying by.... I am 18weeks now:). I have gained 20pounds. Scary!

Had my ultrasound to check everything and decide if I should have an amniocentesis. It's definitely a boy! And the doctor that did my ultrasound did not suggest an amnio! To say I was relieved would be an understatement. Only thing he saw was that we have a two vessel umbilical cord instead of three. He said this happens and the only worry with it is fetal growth so my doctor will watch how he's growing and may do more ultrasounds to check on him.

So I am team mom for Ty's baseball team and this means lots of things for me to do one of which is turning on the field score board which I forgot to do the other day and had to run the parameter of the field in front of everyone ugggg to turn it on. I haven't been running much at all and wow I felt like a blimp running out there in my not supportive enough for running bra hahaha! Mark said he heard the umpires talking, I guess about my slowness, saying well, she IS pregnant! Lol nice!

I signed up for two 5k's yesterday one tomorrow and one next Saturday. The one next Saturday ill be running virtually( in my head) with my brother who's running his first 5k :) exciting stuff! I'm not sure but I think I may be more excited than he is lol!

My baby girl got her first goal at her soccer game last Saturday! She was so excited!

Even tho I feel huge I am so ready for the pool days :)

Hope your day is fantabulous!

Today sucked

Fell off the sugar detox wagon hit my head and rolled down a hill over some fresh dog poo.... In other words I ate one bad thing and let it turn my entire day into a sugar fest! You been down that well I already screwed up so...... I may as well? The difference will be I will be right back on it right now not tomorrow which always turns into tomorrow again for me and so on.

I did go to the gym today:) rainy and not so awesome outside so I went to the gym. I went to motherhood and bought a belly band thingy that should help with the pain/soreness I had the other day from my run/walk. I did 4 miles on the bike and 1 on the treadmill just walking. I still feel a little sore. The calorie burn I got at the gym is..... Well.... It sucks (compared to the runs i was doing per-pregnancy) but at least I burned some I guess. I'm that person that has these set expectations of what I "should" do and how long and how many calories ill burn or I might as well just not. If I run it needs to be at least a 5k or over......like a mile doesn't burn 100 calories or so?!? I used to think I must workout an hour or hell what's the point? There's a point to all extra movement which my handy dandy fitbit has helped me realize that what people have been saying for ever (that I always thought yeah that'll do a whole lot) about parking far out and stairs not elevator ect it all adds up to
more calories burned. It's all worth it:)

Hard day

I WANT SOME CRAPPY FOOD! Lol no, no I don't I'm
Actually pretty proud I haven't caved. I usually would have said screw it a long time ago especially since I have Reese's eggs in my house! But the temptation isn't so overwhelming like I usually feel it is when I try to restrict myself from things! Day two down no sugar or processed white carb crap foods :) I usually go straight for the crackers when I get home but I'm doing ok without crackers!

On my 100 mile challenge.... Hmmmm! I ran/walked 3.5 miles yesterday and with this 17 week bump I was in pain last night and today! Like hurt felt so sore I called my ob to make sure it was the round ligament pain I thought it was-it is. Ouchhhh! Did not have this problem with either of my first two..... Possibly because I didn't get off my ass for either pregnancy! But at 250 and pregnant I was just like meh gimmie some ice cream;) anyway I'm not quitting this challenge tho! I'm going to have to get a belt thingy and ill be back out there getting in my hundred! Today taking a rest day although, I still got in my 4.55 miles, according to my fitbit. Which is 10920 steps so far today.

Have a good evening :) are y'all doing any challenges? Have you tried to step away from
Sugar?

Sugar detox and 100 mile April

So I started the sugar detox challenge today with Laura from mommy run fast! I did amazingly well considering all the Easter candy temptation left over from yesterday including my favvvvvv Reese's eggs! I think there's cocaine in them which make them so addictive! Haven't had any processed white carby things that I usually go straight for after work, today I had a slice of cheese and piece of roast beef and a few grapes.

I also started another challenge to get 100 miles in for the month if April:) this challenge brought to anyone who wants by runningwithtongs Im off to a good start!

Both of these challenges are something I really needed. I'm really struggling to keep exercising and stop eating everything in sight with this pregnancy being my go to reasoning for it. Got to get myself together :)
