Thirsty Thursday?

Hey guys,

I was trying to come up with a catchy title for today's blog post and I start thinking: what is associated with Thursday? The first thing that came to mind: Thirsty Thursday!  But, I digress, the only thing I can be thirsty for for the next 28 weeks is good ole' H-two-O (sometimes I miss wine time).  Wine used to be my healthy eating/low cal diet cheat, these days it's chocolate cake....anything chocolate, who am I kidding, anything sweet, really.  I have got to get my will power to out-wrestle my cravings, anyone have any advice on this?  I know, I know...suck it up buttercup and just do it!  That is what I need to do and that is what I would tell anyone to do.  Does that mean I don't want it bad enough?  Likely, but I bet I will be wishing I would have overpowered my cravings when I'm feeling like a beached whale this summer.  "Yes, I'm pregnant...oh you didn't think pregnancy gave you kankles and back fat? Yeah, me either"...geez I can already see my future self wanting to kick my present self for not conquering my cravings for the sweets.

Enough of that rant, I did manage a work out when I got home.  Here it is:

50/15, 4 rounds:
burpee w/push up on bosu
rainbows w/weighted ball
knee raises w/lunge back on equalizers
mountain climbers

50/15, 2 rounds:
bicep curls
clean & press w/sandbag
plank w/toe tap (w/toes on bosu)
shoulder press w/one knee up and as you press up, straighten out leg in front  (a lot harder than you might think)

I sure do have to make the time, cuz if I looked for it, I wouldn't find it.  How bout you?

I feel pretty good about my workout; I read that after the first trimester most women gain back some of the energy they have been lacking.  I sure hope that is the case with me so I can kick my workouts into higher gear before my belly becomes gargantuan.

Thanks for reading, please comment!
