Letting The Cat Out of the Bag....

   Not sure where the expression, "Letting the cat out of the bag" came from, but I am sure I could Google it and spend a solid 30 minutes reading different articles about it. But I won't do that right now. I will just continue on with this blog post. :)

   Okay, so you know how lately I have been complaining that I felt lazy and was just sitting on the couch and could not find the motivation to get going? Then the Women's Soccer team thing happened and that really inspired me to push past my "feelings" and workout. Well, the reason for all of that is...

   We are expecting Baby Two!

Still Can't Believe It! :)

  It's hard to type that it still feels unreal. On the one hand, it's amazing because our children will be close together in age (something I wanted), but on the other hand, it's like, "Oh no! I am going to be flabby for another year!" Terribly shallow, I know. Trust me, the good outweighs the bad. ;)

   So I am going to be trying to work as hard (and as safe) as I can to stay fit during this second pregnancy. And this is how I am going to do that:

•   EAT HEALTHY! Starting my day off with healthy, fibrous foods, and limiting my starchy carbs throughout the day, as well as eating lean protein. I know this sounds like what all the fitfoodies say, but they are fit and it does work. So.....
• REJOIN MY GYM! I like using YouTube for my workouts, but I need some weights to really help me fight the jiggle in my thighs and I need to hit the gym for that. I will be doing a little cardio, but my focus will really be on weights this time around. 
• DRINK LOTS OF WATER! Sadly, these pregnancy hormones have got me hating water at the moment. Which is majorly strange since I actually LOVE water. I drink it all day long with no flavorings. But right now it just makes me sick, so I force myself to drink it, and sometimes I add a little cranberry juice to it so there is a hint of flavor in it. Definitely better to be hydrated than to worry about a tiny bit of sugar! 
• CONTINUE STRETCHING! Just because I am pregnant does not mean I need to give up my flexibility! It actually helps me stay more comfortable. 

   These are the main things on my mind right now, but I will add things as I go along. I will also be posting my progress as well as some of my favorite healthy foods for any of my girls out there that are expecting and wanting to stay fit!

  Okay, let's MOVE!
