YMCA

By
There are no YMCA's in Las Cruces. 2-3 in El Paso, but who wants to drive an hour to workout everyday? I can understand once or twice a week but there I go, digressing. Anyway, anytime we come to Houston my parents get us a guest pass to their Y which used to be my Y. It's on the small side but very up-to-date on all equipment. My mom is a lifeguard, yoga instructor, and triathlete coach there. So I've had fun the past few days working out. I'm sure I've alarmed some of the patrons-I am getting quite large.

And as I suspected my mother has me doing yoga everyday. Afterwards my energy levels go way up and I feel better, so I'm thinking instead of insisting the pregnant person lie down one should insist she do yoga. She gave me one of her mats and when I get back to NM I'm going to get some other yoga equipment. It's a testament to my mom's instructing skill that after one of her classes I'm hooked :D

Not a whole lot of stuff going on, really, although we've been way more active here than we were in Las Cruces. The Orclette loves my mom's backyard-it kind of looks jungly (she likes to garden and has plants everywhere). As I mentioned before she is getting spoiled by both grandmothers. Basically she's been having a grand ol' time. I've also been having fun-my stress levels have come way down and I've been sleeping better. So this has basically been a health trip for me. Hehe. Houston a resort center. That's funny.

That is awesome, Wulfa! I admit, I was one of the evil ones who was worried about you traveling so far so late into your pregnancy, but it sounds like everything is coming up great! :)

INSANITY. Day 2.

By
My thoughts on the Plyometric Cardio Circuit? My floor has never looked so appealing. And I never thought I'd be one of the "yellers." In exercise lingo (not another lingo!:) that means you yell when things get hard. Oh bother. Another pun. Anyway, Shaun T's Basketball Drills had me yelling. And grunting as good as those humongo body builders do. And as good as Tim the Tool Man Taylor:) Damm's thoughts were that he didn't push as hard as he could've BUT this time he was standing at the end of the workout. And as soon as he actually sat down he couldn't get back up:) We aren't going to change what we eat yet. We were already ingesting good-for-you foods. According to the caloric needs calculater Damm should be eating around 3,000 calories working out 6 days a week and I should be at 2,400. I'm already at 2,000-2,200 because I'm still the main food source of the Little Man. Not sure where Damm falls on the calorie count. Anyway, not upping ou...

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Pedestels

By
Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.
