Nike Challenge

For Mother's Day I got a Nike Watch. I was so excited to use it. First I could not get it to work, so after 3 weeks of trying everything, I called Nike. They told me my sensor needed to be woke up?? WOKE UP!! Finally I can use it!!!

Then my friend on Nike challenged me to a race, first one to 20miles. And we all know how competitive I am! I was excited and I really needed some motivation!! So Monday I went out, so excited to finally use my watch. Got to the park and LO BATT!! Could not use the watch.

Finally Wednesday got out and used my watch. The first few times you run, you have to check it. Then change it till it learns your step and pace. Wednesday it said I ran 4.37 after checking with mapmyrun.com it was only 4 miles. So I changed it on my Nike watch. That way the next run would be more accurate. Thursday Monta and I went out and were determined to get 4 miles in. We ran and ran and ran and ran. We even stopped at Terrible's and refilled our water. Finally hit 4 miles!! Then we walked another mile to get to Monta's house. Once I got home I checked mapmyrun.com and we ran 5.73miles! That is why we thought we were going to die!!
So we ran about 5miles of it and walked .73.

I am feeling better about the half marathon. Now if only I can control my eating!! Why must food be so good??

Finally

I think I have started to write this post a billion times and something comes up or I don't know where to start, so I just don't!

I love summer
I love not having to worry about school
I love Gary being home more
I love watching the kids swim
I love having time to workout by myself

But One thing I can't deal with is the HEAT!! I wake up at 5:30am just to beat the heat and still get in my car and turn the air on. I don't even like walking to check the mail! Lately it has also been humid and gross!!

I am still working out 3 times a week. I have been really worried about this half marathon, so on Wednesday I was determined to see how far I could go. The first mile hurt so badly so very badly. But once I made it to the top of the hill I got to go downhill! Then I just kept going slowly but surely. When I got home I ran 3.2 miles!! It gave me a little more confidence.

My fault! FOOD!! I love it!! I know what I need to do, but I just need to do it!!

And like Kim I need to drink way more water!!

Weight wise I have lost a few more pounds.

New Routine

So, Skyler and I have been very diligent in getting up in the morning for our walk.  Our walk turns into our run or jog most of the time because the boys are on scooters and Teagan is on his bike.  He likes to go fast and keep up with his brothers so usually I end up running along side him because I'm paranoid.  I keep envisioning him tipping over into traffic so I stay beside him so that doesn't happen.  On top of the walking I've been doing Zumba on my xbox.  So fun!  Although it did make me realize how out of shape I am.

I haven't lost any weight yet, but I am feeling better.  I need to increase my water consumption and thanks to Riley there's no soda and very little chocolate in my diet.  I've switched from soda to Simply Lemonade or Sobe.  I get so busy I forget to drink enough water, which isn't helping the weight loss or the milk production.  Seeing that I need to feed Riley I don't think it will be a problem to increase it.

Sarah, I'm gonna miss you so much!!  Please keep writing on the blog!

The good, the bad, and the ugly - in reverse

Yes, I'm still alive!! Just been a little busy getting everything packed.
The UGLY:
I know it's been a while since I posted pictures, and I missed last month. This picture was taken about a week and a half ago. There's my cute baby belly. Last week I got my first "are you sure there isn't twins in there?" Honestly I'm surprised it took 29 weeks to get that.

The BAD:
I have been eating really bad. I've been eating my way through this move. I haven't even put any thought about the food I'm putting in my mouth. BAD!!! My acid reflux has really hit hard, so in a way that does help curb my eating towards bedtime because I know if I eat anything I'll be up for a couple more hours with the burning in my throat.

The GOOD:
For the last couple weeks I've been getting up early with Korina a few times a week and going walking. I really dreaded the first day, but knew I had to get some exercise. I was SO surprised when I looked down at my watch and we walked over 3 miles. So I've been walking about a 5K every time we go walking, and it feels great. I do have sore legs, and I'm tired, but it's worth it. I really want to keep that up throughout the rest of the pregnancy. I've already warned my family that I'll be staying with in Utah that they'll have to go walking with me because I need to do it.

So there you have it.
