Week in Re/Preview

This week I only covered about 6 miles, but that’s okay. I got to do a walk with my mom while I was out of town for work. I got another short walk with Jade The Boxer early morning before work on Thursday. Then on Saturday I got a massage …

Week in Re/Preview

My how far I’ve fallen… or how far I’ve come. Perspective… I covered 8 miles this past week, and I’m actually proud of that. Proud and irked because that is so very little compared to my old abilities. Running is nigh unto impossible for me lately. Yes, on each of …

29 Weeks Mentality

At 29 weeks into pregnancy I am: Sick of being unable to get in a full breath Tired of drinking so much water and peeing so much Experiencing way drier skin than normal Uncomfortable with each day I grow more Loathing maternity clothes Annoyed at finding stuff resting on my …

Week in Re/Preview

Probiotics for Dummies

Probiotics For Dummies by Shekhar Challa This book is small, but packs in a lot of info. Much of it is presented in a straightforward manner, but there are small side boxes that expand upon the information in a more scientific manner, if that floats your boat. It starts off …

Week in Re/Preview

This week was better!  I ran on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday!  I did prenatal yoga twice!  I did strength training exercises everyday! (I’m just working different body parts, to avoid overly fatiguing myself, but to still get through all the areas of my body a few times each week!) All …

Maternity Leave Issues

I’ve had a few people ask me if I was planning on taking a few weeks off work before giving birth. That kind of surprised me as the thought had never crossed my mind. I’m planning on working right up until I go into labor. Part of my reason for …
