We went to the Y again this afternoon – I did 20 minutes on the treadmill, going 3mph most of the time though I did run for about a minute. Once I was done on the treadmill, Chris and I swam for about an hour. I didn’t get a chance to try out the water aerobics class as it was this evening and we were done working out. Plus there is a limit as to how long we can leave the kids in the child care room!

I feel great. I’m tired and going to bed early tonight, but not like I’m going to bed at 4PM like I did last week. I need to read up more on exercising while pregnant!

Last week we joined the Y – and wow it was about time! We drive by it all the time, it’s on the way to town (ie gymnastics for the kids, Target, any restaurant, etc.), and talked about joining several times over the past year and a half. Finally we got around to it last week – since Chris stopped smoking and drinking coffee he’s felt the need to work out to help him get past it. Plus the added benefit of getting in shape and being healthy!

I am going to start attending water aerobics sometime this week. They offer several classes a week so with luck I can go at least twice a week. Yesterday when we worked out I was on the treadmill for about 20 minutes and then in the water for about an hour. I never exercised while pregnant with the other kids so I hope this makes a difference. I’m not looking to lose weight but I know being in better shape will help when labor comes.
