Fitness Friday: Or Lack Thereof

Hey Friends!

First and foremost, I need to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your outreach after my last post about our Angel Baby. The comments, emails, and messages on Facebook warmed my heart! It comforted me to know that I’m not alone in this experience AND all of the stories about this happening to other women, but then they go on to have several babies afterwards truly lifted my spirits! I’m looking forward to Alfie and I getting to try again soon!

This week’s workouts have been virtually non-existent. After Monday’s surgery, I was told I’m not to lift anything over 2-5 pounds for 2 weeks. (Yeah right!!! My PURSE weighs more than that) However, I haven’t been trying to go be all Hercules either. The most lifting/workout I’ve been getting has been lifting and moving boxes. Each evening this week I’ve been packing the car full of all of our “stuff”, and getting it to the new house. We’re still living in an unfinished project in the sense that we don’t have our closet organizers in yet to hang clothes, and I’m still trying to find places for everything in our kitchen, etc. etc.

My stomach isn’t sore anymore at the 3 places where they did incisions (2 off to the side of my abdomen, and one in my belly button where they removed the fallopian tube), so I’m going to lace up my running shoes for some jogs this weekend! I’m going to love jogging in a new environment!

I’m hoping to move some of Alfie’s gym equipment in to the basement of the house in the very near future so that I can just lift at home, but until then I’ll use resistance bands, and hit the gym I belong to on the way home from work in the evenings.

Over the weekend I need to deep clean our townhouse, and paint the bedrooms so they’re ready for our tenants to move in June 1st. After that, we should start to get back on a schedule and in to the swing of things!

If you’re lucky enough to be heading to Fitbloggin next month, you’ll actually have the privilege of meeting Adam personally! He’ll be discussing podcasting strategies at the conference.

Have a great weekend loves!!
