To my recollection I have never made a new year's resolution.
Figured I'd break it so why even make it.
Good thinking right.
This year is the exception.
Just in case you forgot I recently had twins! I gained about 50lbs. Not to shabby in my book, considering I had two decent sized babies, two placentas (one of which I'm told was HUGE), blood flow for 2 babies, beginning milk supply, and two amniotic sacs. All told I weighed less with 2 babies than I did when I had Leah! Yikes!
So here's my new year's resolution. To fit back in to my wedding dress! Yep! That's it! Big undertaking but according to SparkPeople, I should be able to do it by around June! I'll take by December, but its nice to know if I work hard it could be possible by June!
Why my wedding dress? Many reasons. That weight was the last time I really remember feeling good about the way I look. I felt amazingly beautiful in it. I thought it was beautiful. My husband tells me it was the sexiest thing he's ever seen me wear. :) tmi? And I would love to do a "trash the dress" of sorts. Nothing crazy but just something simple and fun! I've got a great photographer to hire! She's great, if anyone is interested!
Ok, so lets help keep me accountable people! I will be posting about bringing sexy back
My first smaller goal is to be back to pre-baby weight by the end of March. That's about 25lbs. I've already lost 1 last week so its a start. If I lose it all I'll be exactly where I started year ago!
Ok, here we go!

3.9
I ran my longest run a a while the other night and boy was it nice!
I ran with my friend Kaci...also pregnant...and we kept a wonderful 10:30 or so pace. 3.9mi has never felt so good.
Lately though, its getting HOT. I knew it would be coming, but I wasn't quite prepared for it. So now my runs must be after 7:30, sometimes later. I LOVE running in the evenings, but it is when my kids go to bed. So either I miss bedtime or go right after they get in bed. No big deal though. These days, I'm not gone very long!
I have found that I need to leave water at my mailbox. Since, for right now, I have been blessed with running a 1.3 mi loop (didn't always think that was a blessing) I can leave nice cold water on the mailbox that I can drink from every lap! So nice! Its gonna have to get colder now that its getting hotter to hopefully help cool me down on the hot runs!
So there you have it 13.5 weeks pregnant, still running quite well! My goal is 20 weeks, since with twins my 30 week goal is kind of shot! Hopefully I can make it longer, but I think 20 is doable!!

Pregnant Running
Crazy prospect right!?! I can't believe I've been doing it for 6 weeks already (yes I know, technically 10, but the first 4 don't count cuz I didn't know I was yet (and really only Pregnant for 2 of those...confused yet)
In my pregnant running time I have actually done really well. I wasn't sure how far I should go how fast I should go, but most that I read said that I just needed to listen to my body. And that's what I have done (note: I did get the doc's permission before continuing) I've been running for a year now and def. know what I should feel like when I run and am comfortable making those decisions.
I miraculously clocked my fastest time over 3.1mi an 8:44. I wasn't trying for that, just one of those days where you feel amazing! I have been averaging about a 9:30-9:45 depending on the day and am ok with whatever pace. Just getting the miles in is what matters to me right now. I am shooting for 3 days a week at least 3 miles each. I am also as much as possible going to try to walk on the days I am not running. This will take planning and discipline. I thought I had escaped the pregnancy sickness because I had been feeling good up until yesterday. But I have a little cold and have been feeling terrible the last two days, but am planning on running tonight!
Before I found out it was twins I was planning on running til 30 weeks, if I could make it. But now, we'll just have to see. The most important thing is to keep these babies cooking as long as possible!!
Here's to hoping for weeks of running!!!
