Bootcamp catch up

So week 2 was much better than week 1 for me. I was wondering if I didn't push myself enough the second time around. After the first Saturday I was hurting until Wednesday but the second Saturday I was barely sore. So this past Saturday (#3) I pushed a bit more and really pushed myself on the hill sprints! I felt I really worked hard but I'm still didn't feel it the next day. Good or bad I'm not sure. There's been talk about adding another "bootcamp" day on Wednesdays. I really hope this works out for some of the ladies because I'd love to get together with them twice a week and really kick my butt into shape! I still need to get a bathroom scale because I have no idea if I've lost any weight. I do know that I feel much better! I'm not as stiff in the morning and don't feel winded going from the basement up to the top floor anymore! Also I'm pretty sure it's helping my back, but we'll have to see what the chiropractor says when I finally make an appointment!

Tiny Dancers

Honor had her first dance class today. I signed her up for 2 classes at the Y so she'd have something going on while school's out. Today was her first "Tiny Dancers" class which went very well! There are only 2 other girls in the class so no one's too overwhelmed. It was cute, they just worked on skipping and walking on tip toes, doing the hokey pokey and the YMCA! Honor did have a little issue with the "freestyle" dancing at the end....all the girls started jumping at first when the music started and I guess Honor thought that's what she was supposed to do and kept doing it while the other girls started doing their own thing. Well, after a few minutes of just jumping she started getting tired but didn't know what to do so she started crying. The teacher was great about it, she told Honor she was doing an awesome job and could dance how ever she wanted that she didn't have to only jump. Then the girls got some pictures to color for next week...a ballet dancer and Strawberry Shortcake. On Friday she gets to go to a different dance class with her friend, Kaitlyn. It'll be great to see them in class together...Honor thought Katie would be there today and was a bit disappointed but it'll make it even more exciting for her on Friday!
Luckily Mikey was enjoying watching the girls dancing and Thorin was happy with eating snacks during class. We did go out to the lobby for a bit and watched people swimming in the pool, the 45 minutes seemed to go by pretty fast! I wish they had something for Mikey to do but there isn't much for 2 year olds except play in the tunnels (which don't open until 10:30 and the class is at 10am)
I'm surprised Thorin was fine with sitting in the stroller since he's all about walking now! He's gotten pretty steady on his feet but his mind goes faster than his feet. It must be tough watching our brother and sister running past you and your little feet don't work together to get you there in time before Honor and Mikey turn in another direction and go past you again! I'm not sure though which he like more right now....walking or eating! We started calling him "Baby-zilla" this weekend since that's what he looks like holding food while trying to walk!

Bootcamp and other such things

First off I have to say I've been trying to finish this post and get it on the blog for about 4 days! Pathetic! I really need to take a little more time and finish a post sooner than that! Anyway....
YAY Bootcamp! I'm really excited that my friend Amy has started a boot camp on Saturday mornings. Nothing better than a friend who's lost a bunch of weight and gotten her life back on track whipping your butt into shape at 7:30am on Saturday for 12 weeks! I'm really going full speed into shaping up before getting pregnant again and also just to be healthier for myself and the kids. Of course moms always say I'm doing it for the kids, and of course I want to be more actively involved and be able to always run and play with them more. I'm also doing it for myself and feeling better about myself. My goal is to wear a size that doesn't have an "X" in it. It'll be very satisfying to be able to wak into almost any clothes store and fit into clothes there.
I'm also still having a conflict with myself as to what I want to do when I grow up. I recently started reading "Birthing from Within" by Pam English. I know all of you NCBers (natural child birthers) are wondering what took me so long but I just never make the time to read. It has yet again lit the flame inside of me that I need to reach out to women and help them to discover what they're capable of and that there are other choices for themselves and their babies. I'm just still trying to figure out what the best role is for me...doula? monitrice? child birth educator? go all the way and become a CPM? still not sure.....
I recently went to see an OBGYN after the miscarriage and was pleasantly surprised when he didn't treat me as a leper because I was planning and still planning on having a home birth. He checked everything out and said I'm pretty much back to normal. He wants us to wait at least 3 months before trying again to let my body and hormones regulate. I really liked him and actually felt like I was talking to a partner in my health and pregnancy rather than a dictator telling me how it is and how it's going to be.
So now I'm off to the bike trail with the kids to burn a few more calories. I really need to get a bathroom scale so I can track how much I've lost.
