Give Me an 'E' for Effort!

So...today I tried to get a little workout in.  I have been AWFUL at working out lately...here are my reasons (lame they are, but they are my reasons none the less)....

First, this little dude interrupts me SO many times that I never even break a sweat.

(don't mind my hand gesture, I can honestly say I have no idea what I was doing)

In fact, I think I get more of a workout from chasing him around then I actually get from my videos (and today's 'workout' was no exception).  

Secondly, my sciatic nerve has been KILLING me.  I mean it is wretched, awful and almost collapsing.  I have been known to crawl up the stairs on my hands and knees on occasion, because it hurts so bad (does anyone else have this issue?  I never had it with Noah)!  I hate back pain, almost as much as I hated labor pain!

And last, working out when you are pregnant is simply not fun.  I mean, I understand the benefits and I am ALL for that (healthy you, healthy baby).  I usually love to work out and I worked out about 4 times a week with Noah...but then again I had a lot more time on my hands as well.  I know women who are pregnant and have 3 kids and still find time to get in a good workout...why can't I?   Who knows really, but unless I go for a brisk walk I just find myself dreading those FIRM videos.   Anyone with me??

I have a little under two and  a half months to go.  So lets hope that I can kick it into gear once the little lady comes, once I've healed from the c-section, once we've moved, unpacked and gotten into a routine.  Once I find a gym to go to, or force myself to spend $120 on PX90.  Once I get myself some real running shoes.  Once I get a little time to myself, once I can wake myself up before 6:30am.  Once I can get a workout and a shower in before 3pm...and once I stop typing this post and actually go do it (which won't happen because it is 11pm).

So the cycle starts again tomorrow and for some reason I'm not surprised :)  Hopefully I can get a little credit for trying, at the very least!

Guilty...Once Again...

Remember back when I posted list of my guilty pleasures/habits back in April?  If not, you can find the post here.  Since Andy has been home I have realized a whole new list of quirks about myself...so here is, yet again, another list of things I am totally and honestly guilty of.

1. I am guilty of seeing something on my carpet and going to get the vacuum to pick it up, instead of getting it myself.  If the vacuum can't get what I am after, I will pick it up and throw it in the middle of the floor, just so the vacuum can reach it.

2. I am guilty of cleaning up Noah's cars constantly throughout the day, even if I know he will be pulling them back out 2 minutes later.

3.  I am guilty of telling Andy that I am not eating sweets for a week, sneaking a chocolate during the day, and never telling him (until now I guess). haha

4. I am guilty of hearing a car outside our house and peeking through the blinds to see what is going on.  Sometimes, if I see my strange neighbors, I will totally people watch them.   (This one sounds totally creepy!)  ha

5.  I am guilty of shopping online, but instead of actually purchasing anything...I fill up my shopping cart with things I like and then close the browser.

6.  I am guilty of hiding some of Noah's toys for extended periods of time - because I am tired of hearing them, playing with them and picking them up.  I still have a laughing monkey in my laundry room that has been there for 4 months.

7.  I am guilty of taking 3 days to put the ironing board away, after I used it once.

8.  And lastly, to make it an even eight...I am guilty of asking my mom for a recipe, writing it down and then losing it...then having to call her back when I want to make it again.  This happens usually more than once...and thankfully my mom doesn't mind :)

So, tell me...what are YOU guilty of??
