Friday Fun

I am flying around with fun things today. First, a killer Body Pump class. My Monday class is Pump Challenge, so I just call it Pump and we do a different style of weight lifting, but Friday’s class is true Body Pump (with Vanessa!) and we have all the classic music and moves. On my way to the bakery later, I hear one of the CHEST tracks in the car. It is incredible to me how these songs are conditioned for me to flex my muscles and I can almost always figure out which muscle group it is!

IMG_7881

After a quick shower, I turned around to head to Great Harvest to meet Connor and Laura for lunch! Laura writes Blogging Over Thyme (love her name!) and is in culinary school. Connor emailed me in advance, as he was planning the trip to Cville, and meeting Laura for lunch was a surprise!! I love surprises.

I feasted on a Pimento Cheese sandwich on Cville Crunch, 1.5 pickles and some sweet potato chips

New products of note – Hot Cross Buns and Jalapeno Cheddar Scuffins! I tasted a bite of bun for dessert.

Alex sez….Easter is almost here!

IMG_7882

After lunch, I drove to see Dr. Tate for some chiropractic work. I’m not really having any troubles, but I believe in keeping the body flexible and open during pregnancy to prepare as best one can for delivery. So I’m starting to see him early (and try to fix some lower back pain I had after 2x car trips). I will lie on a table and have my body adjusted any day – I love the power of human touch! Tate worked on my hips and neck, which feels much looser!

IMG_7885

I came home to find a package waiting for me from Grandma Buzz!!!

IMG_7886

As a writer and librarian, she is wasting no time getting started on this little boy’s book collection : ) Frog and Toad was a favorite of mine as a little girl! Long before VHS, I actually have a cassette tape of my voice reading this book to a tape recorder. I’ll have to figure out a way to get that digital to share!

IMG_7887

I have a little work to catch up on and then it’s Friday afternoon at the movies!

    I’ve always wanted to go to a chiropractor to just align everything, even though I dont have much to complain about. It’s so important! You need the right posture while eating hot buns, no?

    Those hot cross buns look delicious! 🙂 Oh my gosh! I remember that book!!! I am definitely going to stock up on some of my favorite books from when I was little when we have kids too. Reading is super important plus it’s cute to be able to read the same books that you read when you were a child to your own child. 🙂

    I did a lot of good things while pregnant (prenatal yoga, a lot of walking, biking, and weights), plus lots of exercises that I learned in childbirth classes, but I do wish I’d looked into chiropractic. Good for you! Curious if he has specific training for working with pregnant women?

    Hi Kath! First, I wanted to mention you were the first blog I started to follow back in the day! Reading your daily adventures in food & oogling over your photos completely changed my world of blogging! I believe I had googled oatmeal recipes – and the rest is history!

    Just wanted to say that I just noticed your “comment policy” above (love it!). Back when you announced your pregnancy I read through all the negative comments you had been receiving and was absolutely floored. I couldn’t believe the things people were saying. I’m way late on this – but I really respect the way you handled all that. You’re a strong woman & a wonderful role model!! 🙂

    Oh- I love Laura’s blog and have always thought that the name of it is so clever! I haven’t read it in a while (sometimes even blogs I love get lost in the big blog world). Thanks for the reminder!
    I was wondering- what did your doc say about Bodypump? Can you take it all the way through your pregnancy? I’ve heard some women say that they weren’t allowed to lift more than like 10 lbs when they were pregnant. I’m especially concerned about this because I am teaching 2 classes a week and will be trying for a baby soon… Thanks if you have any info to share! 🙂

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      March 23, 2012 at 9:07 pm

      My doctor didn’t have any concerns – I think the lifting might be a high risk pregnancy thing. Like if you have placenta previa or cervical problems, lifting is much more risky. But I also am not doing much squat weight at all – mostly because it just didn’t feel right. I still use two larges, but don’t have the mediums and babies I did before 🙂 The arms are never too heavy to lift either.
