These are the days that I rub it in how wonderful my inside job is compared to Brent's-freezing-his-butt-of-in -49 C windchill-weather job! It doesn't look like it's going to break anytime soon either! Tonight they are forecasting -41 C and w/ the windchill -55C... That's crazy!
Gauge went in this morning to get his boy's bits removed... poor little guy. Hope he's doing okay! We get to pick him up tonight after work so I'm sure he'll get pampered and spoiled!
Hit the pool last night and got a half decent 2500m in.
Tonight the plan is to meet my swim coach for a run at the multiplex... we'll see if I make it or it turns into a snuggling on the couch w/ Brent night!

New routine
This morning I got up extra early and got in a lower body workout at home b/f I had to go to work. It wasn't what I would do If I was at the gym, but it got the heart rate up and a half decent sweat! I now know that this is probably going to be my new routine... until my energy returns!
Last night was another early bed time. I kept kicking Gauge off the bed when he would try to get on my side and it definitely made it a better sleep. He's normally not allowed to sleep on the bed, but he does sneak up during the night!
If the city would ever get their act together and plow the public sidewalks Gauge and I could go for a run in the morning (as long as it's not too cold!). Or I could train Gauge to properly run beside me on his leash...

tired...
I miss holidays... I had fantastic runs and weight workouts every day down in Cuba. Beach running kicked my a$$! I was feel good and getting back into the swing of consistent workouts, however...
now that i'm back at work i get home and end up going to bed at 7pm! I do have to get up early to go to work, but 7pm bedtime! That's a bit crazy. I had intentions of going to swimming last night, but i laid down on the couch after supper, and that was a mistake. I was under the impression that after 12 weeks the tiredness should go away... guess I was wrong.
Kendra and I were talking about the effect of such little sunlight has on a person. I miss summer time sooo much, and the sunshine. You could come home from work and feel so ambitious, where right now you come home and want to fall asleep. Doesn't help that we've got so much snow and endless cold temps in Lloyd.

Popped...
...I'm sure I'll use that word numerous times in the next 5 & 1/2 months, but yesterday I totally did just that. Brent and I ran errands in the morning on our last day off b/f returning to work. After we got back we made lunch and I was feeling exhausted, as usual, laid down for a nap while Brent watched a movie. I woke up an hour later and looked in the mirror and was shocked! My tummy is no longer my own! Even Brent admitted that the difference b/t that morning and afternoon was shocking! Just over 15 weeks now and I guess it's time that I started to show; I guess I've been in denial of what was really going to happen to my body!
We took belly pic's in Cuba and I'll post them soon...

Cuba bound!
Varadero weather is +30C for the next five days!
Just finishing packing our suitcases. If I'm able to post while we're there I will, but I imagine like the DR, I won't be able to...
Post some pic's when we're back!

Stranger in my own body...
And 6 more months to go!!!
Definitely had myself a pity-party last night. Didn't feel well when I got home from work and spent the night sipping gingerale and napping on the couch. I made a valiant effort to 'almost' get on my bike... i dragged it out, set it up, even filled h20 bottles; however I just couldn't find the energy or 'lack of feeling crappy' to actually get on it. 13 weeks now I keep being told that the tide will be turning soon, and my energy will return; I'm sure hoping it happens. Tonight I'm 'planning' on going to they gym for a stair workout...
I was trying to explain to Kendra how weird and awkward I feel in my body already. When at swimming the other day it felt so uncomfortable when kicking w/ a flutter board, like my stomach was stretching past it's limit when my back is arched. I think I'm starting to show now... Brent tells me he can hardly tell, but I definitely notice a difference. I will have to start taking belly shots soon!

Last day off..
But I really can't complain b/c I only work 3 days then we leave for CUBA! Looking forward to the warm weather... this morning it was -18 C here again.
Brent and I are in the wedding party for Sheldon and Brandy. Sheldon was Brent's best man at our wedding. My dress now fits, thanks to alterations done my mom and grandma. The earliest side effect so far of being pregnant is my bra size being way bigger then normal... which would account for my sore back all the time. This bridesmaid dress is going to be interesting b/c it not only has to fit me next week, but also 6 weeks from now at the wedding reception they are having back in Lloyd! Cross your fingers!
I've been feeling really tired and exhausted the last few days... more then usual; and I thought that I was supposed to be gone by now! oh well nothing like resting on a beach for a few days to revitalize ones self!
Swimming again tonight; I've been really diligent about going and seeing some strenght return, but speed still needs some work!
