I Feel Out of Shape? Something Can’t Be Right!
I can’t say that I was overly shocked when I saw the two lines show up on the pregnancy test that
Sunday morning (Superbowl Sunday might I add!); however, I think anyone who has experienced this
can agree with the “OMG is this for real??” feeling that initially runs through your mind after first
seeing the results. Let’s just say our regular Superbowl Sunday festivities changed just a little bit this
year, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I knew what it was going to say before I even saw the test
It was a Sunday morning, I went about my regular business of waking up and heading down to my
studio to kick my soldiers butts with a killer metabolic group class. It was very snowy that morning
and hubby had to drive me down and drop me off because, confession, I’m a wimp and very scared to
drive in the snow #noshame. After class I went about my usual routine of blasting some good tunes
and kicking my own butt before I went back home to have a relaxing day watching the Superbowl,
eating yummy food, and enjoying a “beverage” or two.
Why Do I Feel Like I’ve Never Workout Out Before In My Life?
Let’s just say that Sunday morning workout was the final straw in a few other things that had led me to
believe there might be a little human growing inside me. The workout was no harder than I normally
do, but I felt like I had never workout out in my life. Running up and down the stairs a few times never
left me feeling gassed; however, all of a sudden this felt like the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest!
This is exactly what I posted on Instagram Right After That Workout:
Listen To Your Body!
I am a firm believer that your body will tell you if something is off, and well my body was sure telling
me something! Or just wanted to mess with me and show me what it feels like to be out of shape? I
took a test the second I got home, but I already knew what it was going to say. Sure enough just as I
suspected, THANK GOODNESS I’M NOT OUT OF SHAPE! It was the little human growing inside
me taking all my energy and strength.
Ok Now What??
After the initial shock factor wore off and my husband stopped jumping for joy around the condo, I was
able to really process what was about to happen to my life, my body, my career, and more importantly
MY ABS! I am going to be completely honest, the thought of losing the body I had worked so hard to
maintain and might have to step away from my business (my current baby) for a while had me worried.
Acceptance Is The Key To Happiness
Don’t get me wrong, the thought of building myself a new workout buddy had me stoked, but I think
every new mom would get similar feelings…..right?? Well the main one, what I have to do in approximately 8 1/2 months – the biggest (most painful) workout of my life!! YIKES! It’s ok, I can
just go #beastmode right? Like I’m playing in a championship basketball game or about to flip a 400lbs
tire! Yes this is how my mind works, but it worked for me to accept this new journey and get SUPER
EXCITED about this journey I was getting started on!
Let’s Do This!
Not going to lie, hubby and I rushed to the mall to buy our little “bean” their first pair of baby Air
Jordan’s! We talked about the possibility of boy or girl, what sports we were going to put them in,
what type of workout sessions we will put “Bean” through (is this what other new expectant parents
do?? lol!), oh and of course which Division 1 College we want them to go to. Lol, I’m serious!
The process of acceptance is complete and we are excited for the future
I’m Ready to Kiss My Abs Goodbye (Temporarily)…..
