One Week To Go!!!


In exactly one week, 4 hours and 40 minutes we will be departing for our annual vacation to the most beautiful place on earth...Traverse City, Michigan. So, in honor of that, the above picture is from our cabin deck where we get to watch beautiful sunsets like this one every night for a whole week. Ahhhhh paradise.


In other news, I've been swimming lately for even more exercise. My trainer and great friend has a beautiful pool in her back yard and she has INSISTED that I use it as often as I want. So, the last few weeks I've added swimming laps to my exercise routine. I've done laps, kicking, etc. and it all feels great to be weightless for a while. Yesterday, however, I totally hammered in the pool. We counted that I swam 80 lengths of her pool...now granted, it's not an Olympic sized pool, but 80 lengths was a lot. She also gave me some ankle weights which I put on and did running in the shallow end and leg lifts. I'm feeling every muscle in my body this morning and it feels great! Today, I'm hitting the elliptical as I've been doing like a good little girl...trying to keep the weight gain to a minimum and keep the baby healthy!
Have a great Thursday...it's the weekend eve!
