A Small Detour.........

Alright first things first, I have to apologize for not updating my blog for months! I have a couple good reasons, I did make a major relocation in where is I was living.  With that came finding a new job and all the other stresses of moving.  I also made a decision to have a baby!! I am now about 31 weeks along.  Becoming pregnant has made me take a small detour from my training in bodybuilding.  I look at it as an opportunity to learn and grow that much more once I can begin training again.  It will be exciting to face the new challenges of losing the "baby weight" and getting myself back in shape.  I am grateful for this experience because I now can relate to so many more women that have gone through this experience already.  My pregnancy hasn't been too difficult meaning I haven't been throwing up and sick all the time.  The biggest challenge and small frustration is the lack of energy that I now experience everyday.  I think that has been the hardest adjustment for me, becuase I am so used to just getting up and going or doing whatever, whenever I felt like it.  Now, I have to have pep talks with myself and really try to motivate myself to do just about anything.  I am posting a couple of long awaited pics from some of my friends of my "baby bump".  This has also been a huge adjustment for me, watching and feeling my body change has been quite the experience.  I can't say that I am thrilled about not being able to suck in my stomach anymore or do sit-ups.  I have also realized all the things that I took for granted when not pregnant, like jumping around, lifting heavy, running whenever I felt like, which is one activity that I thought I disliked.  But by not being able to have the energy or the drive, or being comfortable enough to run makes me miss it....strange. I can now say that I have a greater appreciation for some of the things that I thought I didn't like so much.  Ayway back to the pics, like I said before I'm not thrilled with the way I look right now, but it comes with the territory.  I will in the future post the after baby pics, and will continue to update them accordingly as I begin my training again.  I am excited to begin training again!! I miss it sooooo much!

Thanks for all your love and support!!
