here I go. again.

It's been two weeks since the D&C procedure, and I'm feeling 95%. I feel like I have a few more months of just being me, no pregnant body or a ball and chain nursing baby (don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy nursing my babies, the only hard part is, I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO IT! When I think back to my 'nursing babies' days, I remember wishing that Mark could grow breasts just to help me out sometimes!!)

I'm looking at this miscarriage like its all part of the bigger picture, and I get a little more time to myself before I subject my body to another pregnancy. For those experienced with pregnancy, it's not easy, and it changes your body. for. good.

So this is my second chance before kid #3 comes along to focus on getting some extra weight off and just being content with my two kids. Sounds easy, right?

I went to the gym today and did some fun classes back to back with a friend. We did a Zumba class first and it was a dancing class, which got my heart rate up a bit and some sweat going. Next was the kick boxing class and I would describe that more like a butt kicking class. Yeah, I was REALLY feeling it half way through. I finished, but felt like I got the tar beat outta me.

Easier said than done.

Here I go. Again.

Training

I woke up at 5 this morning to train for the Valley of Fire race in November. Let me tell you...it was FREEZING! It was 46 degrees outside!! I've been doing the majority of my running on the treadmill at the gym for a few reasons. First, there is babysitting! Second, I go with a really good friend, and that makes it fun! Third, the running group goes during the weekdays right when Mark is leaving for work, time conflict, I can't go that early!

I really enjoyed running with the group this morning, although when I heard the wind rustling outside while I was getting ready, I was having some major doubts and almost thinking of staying in bed! Isn't that how it always is? Of course its easier to stay in bed! But I felt so good when I got home...and reminded me that I still enjoy running and all the training will pay off on race day!!
