Better Health Article: Belly-Busting Workout: I liked these exercises. Remember to do the weight workout in circuits. 3 circuits, and only take a small 2 minute rest in-between each circuit.
QOTD: What earbuds do you use when you workout? (assuming you use them) I'm asking this for me because I desperately need new headphones and need to get some asap before my race on Saturday. I go through earbuds quickly, mostly because I sweat so much and I think it shorts them out or something. (Gross, I know.) I also don't want them falling out of my ear, which I have trouble with. The Apple ones that came with the iPod hurt my ears because they are too big and don't stay in. I've had a couple skull candy earbuds and they work for a couple months but again, they fall out pretty easily unless I jam the things down into my ear canal. My friend, Meighan, suggested some Philips buds. Anyone else have good luck with their pair?
My Daily Update: I set my alarm on my watch for 4:45am and woke up at 7am. Dang alarm never went off. (Sorry Meighan!) So I called the gym and reserved daycare for Josh and went at 9:30am. I did the Body Combat class and then 20 minutes of lower body weights, and 10 minutes abs. My lungs and legs felt good today during my workout. Although I did have a weird incident this morning. I know I've talked about me blacking out sometimes due to low oxygen levels when I get up too fast and that happened this morning. I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. Next thing I know I'm on the floor in the hall and I hit my nose on the bathroom door and skinned my left knee. Jake ran to me and lifted me off the ground asking if I was okay. So weird. I need to be better about getting up slowly, especially after I've just woken up.
My Comments to You:
Naomi- Great goals! Click HERE for a Utah race calendar to help you find a 5K. There are plenty around right now. April-September you're going to find a ton! Let us know which one you decide to do. Sorry I haven't responded yet to your FB message. I think you're definitely on the right track, setting goals. Your life is pretty dang crazy, woman. My advice: take one day at a time. Don't think too far ahead about all that's going on. When you wake up, just have a plan for that day. You have to be good about managing your time. Also, plan out your meals a week in advance. That will help you make better food choices because I know when life gets crazy we tend to go for the easy, quick, processed foods. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!

I'm grateful for your facebook updates so I can remember to track on your chart as well as mine. I have done pretty good. Haven't been to the GYM yet since having baby, but other than the days in the hospital and missing sat and sun this weekend, I have stayed on top of tracking my food. I was going to go to the GYM for the first time today but kids were sick, so then we were going to walk outside but it was snowing. Lol...I know I'll have to start slow and work back up, but I'm definitely ready to start doing something even if it is really simple....which today I guess I could count the numberless times going up and down the stairs to do laundry! I'm nervous and anxious to check my weight next time I'm at the GYM. In the end I only gained 4 pounds my whole pregnancy...hurray!
