The gym has been an incredible release of tension for me. I can't say that I'm really seeing any noticeable difference in the way I look, but for me, its all about how I feel from the inside. And I feel stronger. Both physically and emotionally.
My 5K is in a little over a month and I am definitely not prepared to run the entire thing. But I'm not putting too much pressure on myself for it this time. I'll do the best I can. And be proud no matter what. Because just 2 months ago I hadn't set foot in a gym for 18 months. So, even though I'm not rock hard, I am still in a better place than before.
Life gets in the way sometimes. People are assholes. Work is a douche. Washing machines break. And babies get sick. Sometimes I'm exhausted. And most days I'm running on fumes. But I fit excercise in where I can. And that's enough for me to be proud of.
Except I still want that brazilian bikini and Kate Upton's boobs. In the wise words of Bubba Sparxxx, "my LAWD!"
(btw, still taking sponsors for March. Contact me for rates - I am cheap. Like my Christian Siriano Payless Shoes. Booya. Who says you need $400 shoes to be cute anyway.)

Such great news on yesterday evening going better! Have a great weekend!
Even being pregnant working out - or walking - makes me feel better. Good for you for being proud of WHO YOU ARE! Way to go girl ...
So happy your house is getting back to normal! And finding out you still have wine? Priceless. I forgot how much I actually enjoy a good workout until this past Monday. I was like "why haven't I been doing this?". Now I just need to remember that when I am stressed! Woo!
I am right with you on the exercise making you mentally stronger. I had a craptastic day on Wednesday, FORCED myself to get on the treadmill - what a stress relief. Had I not done my exercise thang, I probably would have gone to bed early and left my Moscato untouched - the travesty!
oh girl, I have been eyeing Miss Upton's boobs ever since she got that dang cover..pretty sure the hubs eyed them as well, ha! Seriously how the hell does that body have those naturally ginormous boobs? Wait until she has a baby and nurses and then stops nursing. They will be itty bitty. Good job on the workout, release those endorphins!
Are those boobs for real?? I'm pretty sure the only way to get ta-tas like that is to pay for them!
You are cheap! Can't wait till march.
Seriously, Kate Upton and her boobs...I just can't stop looking at them!!
Trying to get on board here! I definitely agree with doing what makes you feel good. If that's one workout a week that you make it to, great if it's five, awesome. Us moms have a lot of shit to get done so sometimes WE get tossed to the side! Glad it helps you release some stress though!
I think, based on the past three posts I have read by you, that you are my new hero. That is all.

I've finally gotten to the point where I'm craving yoga after a few days. But I still couldn't run a 5K. Hell, I probably couldn't walk one. So good for you, chica!
I didn't run my whole first 5k, but my goal was to do it in under 40 mins and I accomplished that. Set a reasonable goal and then run till you want to puke. You can do it!
i taught the kids the chorus to 'miss new booty' the other day. that's bubba sparxx, right? and the ying yang twins?
(i'm a little embarrassed to know this information right now)
glad you got to the gym. It does amazing things for me as well...even though I havent lost any weight in a while. I go for my state of mind and health. Even when Andrew was in the hospital and I was running around like crazy, I still had to work out so I didnt lose my own mind. GOOD luck on the 5 K. You will do great.
