Staying Fit This Time

I am determined to stay fit this pregnancy. My goals are to do lots of ab exercises so that after the baby is born, it will be easier than last time to get them back, to have great pregnancy legs (lol), and to do lots of cardio and weight training to be a fit momma!

I'll Just Write About It

So, as I am writing this, y’all are not aware of the fact that we are expecting Baby Brines # 2 yet....though if you are reading this, then you know. :) Yay!!

So, I have been doing okay on staying fit this time around....well exercising anyways. I am currently doing a 30 day squat challenge where by the end of it, I will be doing 200 a day! 200!! I am up to 85 a day right now and it increases by 5 every day. I have been trying to do zumba or something like that (like walking) at least 3 days a week. My goal is 30 minutes of zumba, but on days like today, I only accomplished around 20 minutes, though that is totally better than not doing any at all.

Pink Lines

We at the Brines' household are excited to announce that we are expecting another baby Brines. We are excited and of course just a tad apprehensive. John is hoping for a girl. :) I don't really care what it is, but I wouldn't mind a little girl at all. :) It'll be fun to see how Levi is with a baby around. I'm a tad nervous because thinking of having a young child and a newborn is intimidating, but with God's strength and my amazing husband by my side, I know that I can handle it.

Mundane Monday....a day late

After a long and wonderful holiday weekend spending time with loved ones and having a blast, it is really hard to go back to work. I had an especially hard time because I let my mind think and I listened to myself rather than talking to myself. Always a bad idea. I got all depressed because there is a chance I will be working a ton of hours once summer hits which is not what I am wanting. The money will be good, but it will be very tiring. But, there is nothing I can do about it now, so why let myself get depressed about it. AND if I do, it is a chance to be a good example to those little girls even more since I will be with them more. So, even though today is Tuesday, it feels like a Monday. I thought I needed to write a Munday Monday post for myself and hopefully to help others.

Mondays can be...well just ick

I know Mondays get a lot of bad rep. I mean, you have had a glorious weekend now you have to get back to your routine. It can be mundane and just plain no fun. BUT, that doesn't excuse a bad attitude. Trust me, I know it is hard, but there is always always a silver lining--a blessing or two or more that God has in store for us. Sometimes...or most of the  time we are too selfish to see those blessings, so lets write down things we are grateful for on this wonderful Monday. :)
