reclaiming me

Whew, it’s photo time! I did actually take these on time (yesterday), but had issues getting them formatted the way I prefer. Since my PS problem doesn’t seem to be fading anytime soon, I’ll post anyway.

Current measurements:

I’m pleased with the slow weight gain since week 8. It *almost* (but not quite) makes up for the 11+ pounds I gained from mid-June until early July! WTF was that all about, anyway? For my other measurements, they’re simply staying in check, which is a start. Good, really, if you consider that I barely worked out in the last week.

Ahhhhh… back to it after five days out of town.

Tuesday 25 Sept: BWO+, TTN

Wednesday 26 Sept: Tempo Torso, through balance. My attempts at Eye of the Tiger were downright laughable, but at least I tried. Once I hit balance, Maya woke, and that did in my plans to complete the workout, plus add on a set of Ladybugs w/the POP DVD. Eh, well. I’m just feeling good I did as well as I did, even though I know my form is still not fantastic (hasn’t been in months!).

Coming soon, I think I’ll give MORE a try, very slowly. My mom had enough issues with her knees (and myriad other issues) that she gave it back to me at least through the duration of my pregnancy.

Speaking of pregnancy, I forgot to post my measures and pics! Photoshop was being disagreeable, so I didn’t get the photo page pics updated, even though I updated the measurements.

For today’s workout, I split the difference between BWO+ and TWO — used the B/R DVD to do Basic, then TTN through HD. Whew — that felt GOOD. Considering that I’m out of town at my Father-in-Law’s house, I’m just happy to have worked out AT ALL.

Well, after 3 days off with bronchitis, I decided cough or no cough, I HAD to work out. Did B/R TWO through balance, and called it good yesterday. Once I got to Airplanes, I just couldn’t keep going — I was so refluxy that it sounded horrible.

Today marks 15 weeks for my pregnancy (Is that it? Why is this dragging?), so it’s measurement time. The three days off from exercise took a toll on my measures, and the slowing of my digestive system (don’t think too hard about that) took a toll on my weight. Yes, folks, it’s official. I AM full of it. Anyway, here’s today’s report:

No T-Tapp; Maya and I hiked (okay, I hiked. Maya RODE. The kid is getting heavy!) about 4 miles/2 hours on a trail along the edge of Rio en Medio just outside the town of Tesuque. It was a lovely hike…a few stream crossings (Maya cheerleaded me each time, YOU DID IT, MAMA!), and two dogs (one mine, one a neighbor’s who tagged along) for company.

I had the delusion that I might also add in AL/DD last night. Um, not so much.
