A-Z, Fun pregnancy survey :)

I saw this on another pregnancy blog & I thought it would be fun!  I have so many friends that are expecting this summer- I think several of us are going through similar prego circumstances with our bodies & food cravings!!
~Jen
 
 
A is for age:  35. Yikes.  And prego!  I’m up for it though- this is the happiest that I’ve ever been in life J 

B is for breakfast today:  2 eggs, bacon (YUM!), and coffee

C is for currently craving:  Something sweet.  That’s pretty much what I always crave this pregnancy.  Rolos sound pretty amazing, but I shall resist! 

D is for dinner tonight:  I have no clue.  I don’t love to cook even when I’m not pregnant, so now I have a good excuse!  HAHA!!  Last night I made a scrumptious salad (with chicken, olives, feta, & greek dressing- it was pretty amazing!)

E is for favorite type of exercise:  I heart <3 my bootcamp classes!  I’m still lifting (just not as heavy!) and running some.  I also do the crossfitmom.com workouts- I love her stuff!!  My big ‘ole belly is expanding at a rapid pace, so having modifications is necessary these days!  Example- I can’t do hand-release pushup’s without squishing the little guy!  Last nights class was pretty awesome- we did hang power snatches, push-up's, & pull-up's (modified for me- I can't do a regular pullup anymore- I'm too 'belly heavy' I think HAHA!- BOO!)

F is for a fave food:  Sushi--  I. Love. Sushi.  And since I don’t like the raw sashimi stuff anyway, I still have it every once in awhile (like last weekend- girls night with my awesome daughter!  She loves it, too- I’ve trained her well!!)

G is for gross food:  Lots of it is gross at the moment.  Most every kind of meat.  Actually it’s the SMELL of most of it more than the taste!  Except for bacon, it is always good!!

H is for hometown:  Springfield!  I was born here, left for quite awhile, but realized that it’s where I want my kiddos to grow up!

I is for something important: God & Family. 

J is for current favorite jam: Food jam- grape jelly!  Song jam- I love the Mary J. Blige channel on Pandora.  It has all of the good ones J

K is for karaoke:  I love to watch people sing karaoke.  Other people.  Not myself!  I have been known to sing a few times, but that doesn’t happen too often! 

L is for luxe: I try to be pretty thrifty.  That way I can buy more clothes (& shoes!) and not feel bad about it!  I don’t skimp out on workout shoes- they are worth every penny! 

M is for muffins: Banana chocolate chip paleo muffins.  LOVE!  Speaking of, I have some bananas that need to be used…

N is for something you need:  an energy burst would be pretty amazing. Or a massage- my lower back just aches 24/7 these days!

O is for occupation:  Personal trainer – mixed in with babysitter for my nephew a few days a week, chauffer for my daughter & her friends M-F, and wife!

P is for pet peeve:  Mean people.  Seriously, if you don’t have something nice to say then keep your trap SHUT!

Q is for a quote: I love quotes- I always post them as motivation for my clients, and right now I’m liking this one:

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”- Swindoll

R is for running: I used to be a fast runner- state qualifier in high school cross country!  Now I run for fun & health- it’s pretty awesome when you have one of those ‘great running days’…  you could run forever and feel GOOD!  Since being prego I’ve ran 2- 5k’s and both have been MUCH slower.  I just take it easy & run a few miles on my good days- sometimes I’m walking more than running!

S is for favorite healthy snack:  Fruit.  I love it!  Right now I’m into blueberries, mandarin oranges, strawberries, bananas, & apples (in no particular order!) 

T is for favorite treat:  Rocky Road ice cream. YUM! 

U is for something that makes you unique:  I have long toes!  LOL!! 

V is for favorite vegetable: sweet bell peppers have been a fave lately!

W is for today’s workout:  It hasn’t happened yet- bootcamp at 6pm!  If it gets warm I may go for a walk this afternoon with my nephew...

X is for X-rays you’ve had:  feet, knees, legs, elbow, wrist…  probably more! 

Y is for yesterday’s highlight: I spent most of the day with the hubby, got flower seeds going with Elisabeth, had a fab workout with my bootcamp ladies, & dinner & the 'Bible' show with Pat, Elisabeth & Ryan last night!  It was a great day!!

Z is for your time zoo…as in animal that I would HAVE to visit when I go:  hippo J  He rolled over last week while we were there & Elisabeth was pretty excited to see that!  I'm glad that we have a little zoo locally, but I'm definitely looking forward to the STL Zoo next month (if the weather cooperates!)
