Evon

okay, so I had baby! He was born Feb. 6th @ 6:19am!

Its been almost 3 weeks since I had him! Eventhough the doctors did give general advice of not working out until my 6 week check up, i feel good. Now, having said that, I havent gone back to the gym and started poping out squats or anything, but I have been doing my belly dancing and yoga dvd’s here at home. Throughout the pregnancy, i only gained 24 pounds! Ive lost 20 of those, but my belly still looks gross. Not taking into account the stretch marks, Its flabby! My eating hasnt been that great, except for my breakfast. For some reason, the past 3 weeks ive had the worst craving for Cottage Chees and Mandarin Oranges. I liked it before being pregnant, but now that im not, its like i can’t live without it, lol. So for breakfast ive been eating that, and occasionally i’ll switch it up with some oatmeal and drink a Boost. But last night we ordered a pizza (because my fried rice turned out bad!). Oh and my southern Mac N’ Cheese that puts you into a coma…its good, but its full of milk, cheese, lots of butter and salt. But man is it good! Im going to make next week my official start to getting my body back. Exercising isnt the difficult part, its the nutrition, but then again my nutrition has always been the downer for me, lol.

I keep forgeting about this site. I update on youtube and on myspace much more than here. I keep saying i will get on here more and then i forget. I feel like this baby is sucking my brains out, haha! I have been active though. Ive been doing a lot of belly dancing and a lot of prenatal yoga and pilates. Its getting a bit harder to do them though. Im 35 (almost 36) weeks pregnant, and I feel like this baby is gonna pop out soon, lol. My heartburn has gotten ridiculously bad over the past 3 weeks. To the point where i get it during the day randomly. *sigh* thats about the extent of my suffering so i guess i should be thankful for just that, but its still bad!!! Anyways, Ive got insomnia for some reason today. I may try to sleep in the next 30 minutes.

Ive been reading a lot of articles here and there about Resistance Bands and finally decided to get some. Im actually really excited about using them! Im going to swim @ the Y in the morning and afterwards I will be working out a little bit using them. I cant wait to swim. I LOVE swimming but i dont really do it during the week because I cant seem to get up early in the mornings. After work Im either too tired, or the pools are being used by swim teams, but saturday mornings hopefully there will be lifeguards on duty so I can swim at my leisure. I was thinking about using the exercise bikes but I think id rather swim. Anyways, Im gonig to get offline and finish watching Gangland on the History Channel. I LOVE that show, lol.

So its been a really long time since ive even logged in here. Ive been SO friggin busy. We did find out that we are only having one baby, a boy. Ive been doing really good.  Havent gained too much weight, I actually think that my weight gain is a little less than average. But ive been trying to keep up with working out on some sort of way. I walk, I do prenatal pilates, and I do belly dancing. I cant wait until after I have the baby so that i can get my body back. But The weight Ive gained has been in my inner thighs and my belly (and my boobz). But I figure after I have the baby (and the OK from my doctor) I will start with Cardio and then incorporate weight training. So I really need to get back on here more often….Hopefully I will remember.

So for the past week i have felt so incredibly huge!! I mean I can’t even suck my stomach in. I’ve been told that it’s probably just bloating, but i feel really big. Ive never been bloated so big in my life..multiples run on my side of the family, and if what my dad says is true, I should be having twins. Marty and I are both hoping on twins (or more ) but if we only have one baby, we will still be happy too. I just can’t wait until we actually get to visit with the doctor next month. That nurses visit was absolute BS. Sometimes I hate the way the military does things. The All Ranks Ball is on Friday and I absolutely can’t wait for that either. The dress we got at David’s Bridal is really beautiful. Im just worried about my tummy. I look like I am at least 6 months pregnant, but I’m only 2. *shrugs* oh well.  I need to be getting to bed but i will try and update hopefully tomorrow once i get home. Im exhausted today fromworking on my hair. I would say I’ll post a picture, but ive become way too lazy to do that now, lol

So a little while ago Marty saw that i was on myspace and he asked me if i was looking for a girlfriend. I just laughed when he asked me that but now im trying to think….why did he ask me that? He knows that i have dated women before and that i have been with girls also, but he has never really commented about it before. Oh well, whatever. We have talked more about women lately though. Especially watching Rock of Love 2 and Flavor of Love 3 and Ms. Rap Supreme…gotta love VH1 for reality shows. Anyways im outie..gotta go to bed because we are going to the gym to do PT in the morning together..we havent worked out together in a LONG time…we shall see how it works out!

So this morning i was so proud of myself!! I had a little debate with myself at 5:45 this morning on whether i should go to the gym then, or wait and go in the evening. Im very glad i went ahead and got up though…Its going to be different now, since Marty is on Cycle break. He wont have to be at work at 4ish anymore, so ive go to really motivate myself to get up now. I feel really good though. Nice way to start off a new week in a new branch. Im a bit nervous though…eventhough its the same thing ive been doing for a month and a half, i think its because of the volume, i think thats why i feel anxious. Me and marty were talking last night about it. After a few days to get the feel for things, i should be good. I gotta go and finish getting dressed, but i will update sometime either tonight or tomorrow!

Today I started taking Hydroxycut Max. I can definitely feel it. Unlike the last thermogenic i was taking, i didnt really feel any added energy. With this stuff, i can feel the stimulation, but its not overpowering, y’know, not giving me the jitters. So far i like it, but its only the first day…A lot has been happening within the past few weeks. Yesterday i packed up my office. Monday i will be going back to my ‘home’ branch, lol. Im excited about going back there because its been a long time, but at the same time, there will be LOTS of work to be done…and not a lot of time to do it…..so ive got to get my mind right and prepared for the change.

 Its 4pm and me and my husband were supposed to go to the gym..i told him i would wait for him to go with me, but i dont think that he is going to go. I think he’s going to sleep all day. Which sucks because we were supposed to go to see the stock car races tonight…oh well we will see what happens. In the mean time ive got cleaning to do YAY! *note the sarcasm there….*

I went to the gym tonight instead of this morning and it was surprisingly slow. I guess because the weather is getting warmer so people are spending more time outside. Better for me! I did have some guy (he seemed pretty young) ask me about squats. **((side note…i added 20 pounds to my squat))** Its funny, I have my routine when i go to the gym. I run, do my back and biceps, then i do legs. When im on the treadmil nobody really pays attention to me. When i use the arm machines nobody really pays attention to me. But when i go to the free weights, the guys around there seem to buck up and try to act more macho. Bt when i go to the other machines on that side, they seem intrigued that there’s a girl in the midst. Anyway, back to the guy that was talking to me. I did maybe two sets of squats at 90lbs and stood around for a bit and caught my breath then i added 10 to each side and did 2 more sets. I went to get some water and the guy asked how often i did squats. I told him only 2 times a week (occasionally 3). We got to talking a little bit and i told him that ive really been sucking at the gym because i hadnt really gone that much in the past 2 weeks. He laughed and said that if my doing 110lb squats is on a bad day, i must be like heman on a good day. I thought that was funny. We’ll see how this goes. I feel like a sloth because of the past few weeks. Its like when i sham out, i sham out hard. But when i do what needs to be done, im dedicated. So now, ONCE AGAIN ive got to get my foods and stuff in order. Ive got to run by the store before picking up Marty from work in the morning. He’s pulling duty, so he wont be home tonight. Im gonna go and take a shower and get to bed, its a little after 10, and i want to be in bed by 10:30. I will prolly update in the morning after the gym.
