Variety
I figured I should post when I'm in a good mood too, not just when I'm in a foul, cranky, weirded out mood.

Today, I'm in a good mood. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's being well-rested. Maybe it's the fact that today was not a session day or the fact that I got out at 6, which is so early, especially for a Monday. Either way, today I'm happy.

Yesterday I had a kick-ass workout. D and I went to the gym, and I walked for 45 minutes and went 3 miles and varied the incline, and I got a good workout. After that, I did a lower body weight series. I did 5x12 (100 lb) lower back extensions, 3x12 (70 lb) seated leg extensions, 3x12 (70 lb) leg curls, 3x12 (100 lb) hip abductors, and 3x12 (100 lb) hip adductors. It was awesome, and afterwards, I felt great. I am really digging the seated machines at this point, because I get a really good workout without having to worry about over-exerting myself or worrying about form or anything. Plus, keeping my lower back and lower body strong will make things easier when I get bigger, and I think it will make the weight loss easier post-delivery too. I want to go to the gym 2-3x a week when session is over so I can walk and do weights.

Physically, I feel good. I'm thick in the middle, and I think I'll have a bump in a week or two. Today I feel like I look great, especially for someone who is five months pregnant. I'm feeling warmer than I usually do, which sucks. I usually run cold, but lately I'm completely unable to tolerate the heat, which sucks. Otherwise, I'm feeling nice.

We're hoping to be in the new house by August. Maybe. We're going through a special mortgage process, which has a lot of benefits, but unfortunately the process is kind of slow, and we're hoping it doesn't delay things too much.

I'm beginning to get zen to the fact that I don't get to spend money, but I think that's just because I'm in a good mood, and I don't need to ...make up for anything...or something. You know what I mean? I know that acceptance is going to fly out the window the second I'm feeling down.

Anyhow, that's pretty much it at this point. Nothing else is really new. This weekend I did as little as humanly possible because this week and next week will really suck, and I just wanted to relax. It was great!

We're going to see the Cure in a few weeks, which is going to be really cool. That...and the end of Session is coming. I can taste it.
