Getting in Shape

We started exercising on June 5th. We were walk/jogging. Today Jaremy ran an entire 5K and then walked a bit. Awesome! He is training in barefoot shoes. He says he's been sore for a month and a half now. He was a bit frustrated with how long it takes to get in shape, but this morning was good news. My jog is extremely slow, but I'm almost 5 months pregnant. So when I trot I'm only going 4 miles an hour, but the extra bounce I put in the step gets my heartrate where I need it. It also gets my body used to a little more impact, so I'll bounce back after pregnancy faster. It's slow, but fun and fulfilling. Our family is having a great time. Heavenly Father has given us health and knowledge on how to keep healthly.

A Bit Worn Out

Yesterday we went on a 10-mile bike ride. Usually not a big deal. However, I was pulling almost an hundred pounds in the bike trailer against a strong wind. It was all I could do to just keep going. Most of the time I don't sunburn and no one else did, but my arms are toasted. Pregnancy makes my skin more sensitive.

This morning we played a barefoot game in the park and worked in the garden for a couple of hours. It's 3:40 pm and I'm struggling to get the basics done. I'm dragging myself through the motions of grooming and fixing dinner. I know I'm going to make a healthy, cherry cobbler and a green shake, but after that? Maybe I'll steam some veggies and have Moroni bake some bread. That should work. Maybe I just need a multivitamin to put the pep back in my step. Who am I fooling, every pregnancy has days where you are so tired you can hardly function. It's just part of it. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father blesses me with plenty of energy most days. I'm so grateful for naps as well.
