Gym Session :: 09/22/2011

Hi Everyone! I know it's been awhile since my last post! :) But school is just really kicking me in the rear right now. hopefully you guys understand :) that and my pregnancy has been really making me super tired than usual.


So with that said, Today is my birthday (I'm 26! woot!) lol.. and yes I did spend my birthday morning at the gym. It was my first time back after my Doctor gave me the A-Okay to exercise. I of course wanted to take it kinda slow.. but i did however enjoy my workout.


here's what I did! (I didn't lift as heavy as i normally do)

before I started on the weights, I did walk on the treadmill for about 15 minutes to "warm-up".. I did have to take frequent breaks because, my doc told me not to get overheated and drink plenty of water - which I did..  so i'm proud of myself I went to the gym! :) I'm definitely going to be adding this to my daily routine. I have to add the gym in there :) I know it's only beneficial to me! 

Since I'm currently not working and Hubby is the only one working - we're really on a super tight budget, so we couldn't really afford to spend a lot of money; which i'm perfectly okay with. I really don't need any gifts because i've got everything I've ever wanted already! (an amazing husband, 2 adorable girls, a baby on the way, a house and supportive friends and family - what more could a girl ask for?)

so hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and weekend! :) I believe my in-laws are going to be treating me out to eating at an aweeesome restaurant called Gyu-Kaku for a late lunch for my birthday (have to pick up my oldest kiddo)
