Anyway, life is moving along. After a lifetime of believing I wanted only one child, Marek has inspired us to have another. We are expecting a little girl in early September. Too bad I didn't lose the baby weight before I got pregnant again but it's water under the bridge now. I'm just trying not to gain another 40 pounds with this pregnancy.
To that end I try to get a good walk in at least a couple times a week, if not more, and something active on the weekend. And though this blog is obviously taking some sort of babymoon I'm not going to pull it down, I know people still happen upon it now and again and hopefully get some inspiration.
Thank you to any who's kept me in their thoughts, to those that ask me for an update every now and again, those are always nice reminders that I haven't disappeared from the blogosphere :) I'll close with a couple recent pics.
Marek's one year picture. He turned 1 on March 14th. Wasn't that fast?

I took a turn pulling on some flat ground :)

Oh I'm so glad to see you have stopped by again - I've been wondering how things were going for you - CONGRATULATIONS on your second pregnancy, I'm so pleased for you and your family! here's wishing you all the best in health, life and pregnancy over the next few months!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe it has been a whole year since you had your son! It is so nice to see you post again and with such exciting news! That first baby just sucks you in. I had my first two boys 1 1/2 years apart, so I understand how incredibly busy you are going to be!
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to get moving this year and make some goals. I have signed up and paid for my first 5K in many, many years in June and My first Tri-sprint on September 11th. I cannot tell you how much you have continued to affect my life. thanks!
Again, I am so excited to hear about the new baby, Congratulations! So great to hear from you!!!
Wow! Has it really been a year? Hard to believe.

Every time I'm in NoCal, I think about you and how I might just run into you someday...it'll happen.
YAY!
ReplyDeleteNow I can say with 13 days experience...being a mum of 2 is awesome! Just when you thought your life was super saturated with love another unimaginable helping comes into your family!
I look forward to hearing updates about your family building and then the eventual journey back to more finish lines. I am looking forward to my first "ralk" on Mothers day, and then triathlon season starting down here next October. And you Miss Michelle are one of the amazing people from far far away who managed to get me into this fabulous fitness building sport...so I am glad the blog lives on!

I hope, hope, hope you have a mild summer, weather-wise. I had both of my kids in the fall, and had to endure toasty/sweaty summers. :) I had a lot of pool time.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new pregnancy and family expansion! I'm sure you'll have even less time to blog but, on a good note, you'll also have less time to focus on bad foods - though Diet Coke kept me going in those early months with two babies.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're keeping the site up, for those occasions when the spirit moves you. Good luck!!!
(And I didn't realize I was signed into my work blog account when I initially sent this!)

I found your blog from the "sprint just heard about sprint tris yesterday and was thrilled to find that they are run locally! I'm currently at roughly your beginning weight (but am probably 10 years older than you ;) but I now have a sprint tri as a long term goal :) As I find time, I'll be reading through your past blog entries - thank you for leaving your blog up :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your growing family!! :)
Congratulations on your wonderful family and on your weight loss and fitness journey.
ReplyDeleteI too am on that journey and understand how lonely it can feel.
I hope you have a healthy and fit pregnancy. You can do it.
Hello - just thought I'd stop by and see how you're going. Hopefully you're having a healthy pregnancy and planning to see your daughter in the next few weeks?? Here's to life, health, happiness and families, may you enjoy the journey!
