Things I want (Prizes for goals??)

If I had unlimited fundage, you best believe I would be packed to the hilt with fancy gadgets and dress like the prom-queen of spandex every time I hit the gym.

Unfortunately, I wasn't born with the last name Trump and I have to limit most of my "shopping expeditions" to my mind.

Here's a list of some of the "fitness" things I'm currently drooling over.

  • FitBit
  • Bluetooth Strap
  • Nike+ compatible HRM transmitter
  • Nike+ shoes for aerobic activities (@ $250 I'll need to win the lottery before I purchase these)
  • Camelback (for when I get back into long runs)
  • VS pushup sports bra
  • Personal trainer
  • Fitbook
  • Nike fuelband
  • Set of medicine balls
  • Dry shampoo
  • bento lunch boxes
  • Jogging stroller
  • More workout clothes!!
Whew! That's quite the list, and I'm sure I've forgotten some things. It's only 8 weeks until Halloween and I HAVE to lose 10-15 lbs by then or I will be a sad panda! Cheers!

Pregnancy Countdown

So, being pregnant, I ate pretty good for the first two trimesters. And then the third trimester hit and I tried to do good...but...being fat and miserable, started comfort eating. And so those pounds I SWORE I wasn't going to gain this pregnancy have somehow made their way to my hips, thighs, and belly once again.  Didn't I just spend 12 months losing all that crap??? Ugh. Oh well, with my son I lost the weight pretty quickly, it was just pre-'healthy lifestyle awakening' in my life and I put it all back on and more in the years following that. 

I was doing AMAZING working out up until the end of November when I had a little scare and went to the hospital and was told my cervix was thinning (at only 22 weeks) and I should stop working out.  To someone who LIVES to workout, this was like a slap in the face. So I made a vow to eat well even though I couldn't work out. 

That vow sure didn't last very long.

So here I am, 5 weeks until my due date, and getting antsy to get back to the gym and back in the groove of being "healthy." I want to design this elaborate plan that says do this this day and do this this day and start this day and be at x weight by this day...but unfortunately until I get in the groove of having a newborn in my life, I know that such planning would prove to be futile. =/
