Exercise and third's a charm

I am so Tired!! If it wasn't for me picking up my son from school, I would sleep the whole day way.I'm serious.Anyway, I robbed myself ( I know :( Don't Judge Me!)last night to go to target nearly spent $100.00.However out of the CRAP items I got my wonderful DVD Shiva Rea's Prenatal Yoga.

I really enjoyed the session this morning. I felt upbeat and at peace,minus my daughter jumping on my back in full flight, I have to say my morning so far is going along smoothly.

I Plan to do yoga everyday in the morning after my son goes to school and my flying daughter lay down for her nap.I love the feeling of me taking care of myself while I'm pregnant. I wish I would have done this for all of my pregnancies.Will.. I can't cry over spilled milk, I'm just going to enjoy this pregnancy.I can't wait until the summer so I can go swimming.I always wanted go swimming while prego but was too ashamed of my weight. Not This time.No sir No Mame, I will love this year...wow ...isn't it funny how when you want something so bad and you have to WAIT for it, you seem to enjoy it a little better? I'm a little embarrassed to tell you ladies,but I HATED being pregnant while carrying my other two.I know how dare I say something like that when other women would Kill to be in my shoe..but it's true. I hated being big.I hated the sickness. I hated the pain in my butt as I walk from here and there.I just was miserable.I remember feel so ashamed when people would ask me about it and I would feel like such a liar when I would reply " OH it's GREAT I love it".Everything about being pregnant made me sick.The funny thing is I always loved the ending when it was time for the baby to come. As crazy as it sounds I even enjoyed the Labor and delivery part FAR more them the Whole prenatal parts.This time I feel a difference. This time I *feel* what people used to look at me crazy for NOT feeling(for those that knew how I truly felt). I feel like I am on cloud nine.I can't wait until I get me another exercise video + get new baby stuff.I never knew this could feel so beautiful.

Prenatal Yoga And Almonds

I read some much about prenatal yoga workouts with my last pregnancy, I decided to persue it this time around. I am really excited and quit anxious to start.I don't know if I told anyone in the web world, but i was really overweight when i carried my son and my daughter.When I started motherhood at the age 25 I was a good 125-130 pounds.I was 199 lbs with with my first child,and 200 and some with my daughter. I don't know how I was able to make it!(Or how I allowed myself to eat so much). I continued to always be sore and in pain.I vowed I would not allow myself to get that big and unhealthy again.My weight now is 160 lbs so I know I should try to only gain 15 to 20 extra.So I'm using Yoga as my way of staying fit.Yoga also has many benefits to look forward too Those include:

~a stronger body
~ increased flexibility
~ improved stamina
~heightened breath awareness.


Here's a video I found on YouTube(above)

After my husband comes home I'm going to RUN do you hear me??! to target and get my 3 DVDs and some almonds to snack on.Here is a nice almond recipe I found online that I going to try for the first time Today!



Healthy Trail Mix Bar Recipe

Oven
Mixing bowl
Mixer
9-by-15-inch pan
Wooden spoon
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips or yogurt chips
1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins
1/2 cup chopped almonds or other nuts
Preheat an oven to 325 degrees and place a baking rack near the center of the oven. Prepare the 9-by-15-inch pan by lightly greasing the entire inner surface with butter.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda and honey. Use a lower setting as the batter mixture will be thick and heavy.
Step 3
Add the remaining ingredients by folding them into the batter rather than stirring. Folding involves small upward turning motions with the batter, which will prevent the ingredients from becoming too mashed or crushed.
Step 4
Transfer the batter mixture to the 9-by-15-inch pan. Press the dough out with your hands and fingers so that it evenly covers the entire surface of the pan and fills the corners. This will help ensure the bars cook evenly and are of the same thickness when done.
Step 5
Bake the bars for around 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the pan and allow

Well I hope everyone is doing well today...So tell me what you Think??
