19 weeks pregnant!!

How far along: 19 weeks! (WOW! I'm basically half way already)

Size of baby: Mango (6 inches & 0.5 pounds)

Weight gain/loss: I realised that I never updated last week, but I've gained 4.4lbs the last two weeks in total. I can't believe I'm sharing that with the public! I'm honestly a little nervous by that number only because I know I'm only supposed to gain like 15lbs altogether but I'm wondering if there are different factors that have contributed to my weight gain (other than the obvious baby), so I'm going to make some changes that try that instead (like eating less fruit & carbs which are basically just sugar and instead eat more veggies & protein, which I'm seriously lacking in).

Maternity clothes: No Christmas outfit yet :'( But I'm hoping to get to the stores soon.

Movement:Yes! Lots of movement, definitely getting more pronounced like I know that it's Bubba kicking rather than my stomach growling. I'm waiting for those intense kicks so that Cam can feel baby too. But I always announce to him when Bubba's awake and moving, he likes to know his baby is active.

Sleep: It's starting to get bad but then again it can always get worse than it is now. I'm
waking up a lot and it takes more effort to move from side to side (I just naturally sleep on my side) but that's okay. I'm sure that I'll be missing even this kind of sleep come spring.

Cravings: I miss wine, it's just one of those things you miss when you're not allowed it anymore. And I definitely miss my spicy tuna roll, but I realised I can put spicy sauce on pregnancy approved sushi rolls so that's making me a bit happier.

Symptoms: Cam says that I'm having a "textbook pregnancy" whatever that means cause I'm sure he hasn't read any literature on pregnancy yet. Which suprises me since he's such a book worm. But currently it's just the struggle to be drinking water, I'll get really thristy and normally would chug a litre of water no problem but now I immediately get sickly after too much water at once. I am also currently on a Metamucil routine (which we all know what that's for) and I'm starting gluten-free as well because I believe it's causing me a lot of discomfort.

Best moment of the week: On Monday at bible study we were singing some songs and as soon as we started singing Bubba started to move around A LOT! It made me so happy because Cam was sitting right next to me and I think that's the first time it heard Cam sing. I didn't want to sing at all, I just wanted to sit back and enjoy my baby enjoying the sound of it's fathers voice.

That's it for now... almost time for me to get back to work. My momma is making me dinner again tonight (it's our Wednesday tradition) and we're helping decorate their Christmas tree! I'm SO excited I can hardly contain myself.

Baby weight

Before I got pregnant I had the realization that my health was not where I wanted it to be. And I was quickly walking down the road of morbid obesity. Before I peed on that preggo stick I committed myself to waiting on the baby thing and whip my ass into shape. My baby deserved an incredible environment to grow. Yet, the plan sorta changed when the pregnancy test screamed positive. Now what was I
supposed to do?

I honestly had a flow of different emotions, disappointment that my Bubba would grow in this obese body and fear that the weight I would gain would be impossible to loose after the delivery. Visions of my diabetic, obese and sick Oma flooded my mind. Don't get me wrong, I was incredibly happy to be pregnant and happy to know that I am indeed fertile but was it the right timing?

I truly believe that God has His hand in every part of my life and this wasn't going to be any different. I prayed every day on my way to work last year for a baby, I'm not even exaggerating EVERY day I prayed. So God answered, obviously He didn't see my weight as an issue. I keep reminding myself of this fact. So far the scale has only moved up 2 pounds. I'm 18 weeks, so 2 pounds I think is a huge accomplishment!! Especially since Bubba could now be weighing in at approximately half a pound.

I am finding it interesting to look in the mirror and see my waist rapidly disappear. And a bigger and bigger baby belly appear. I swear I am going to be a house!! A huge, pregnant, monster of a house. And then I think, oh gosh! The stretch marks, the loose skin after I give birth, the saggy boobs, will my body EVER be healthy? Will I EVER get back into those size eight jeans I once wore when I first met Cam? I'm just trying to be honest here.

I'm also struggling with how I'm eating now. I've struggled with whether I should commit to being gluten free and dairy free for a very long time. I keep going back to how great I feel when I stick to it, yet I never seem to be able stay on it long-term. I'm concerned with how it's affecting my pregnancy and Bubba. I'm concerned that the food I'm eating right now is affecting Bubba's development and that if Bubba will be negatively affected if I do suddenly go gluten free now (today).

A lot goes through my mind these days.

Happy Saturday

18 weeks pregnant!

How far along: 18 weeks!

Size of baby: sweet potato (5.5 inches & 5 ounces)

Weight gain/loss: I'm weighing in on Thursday mornings now, so I'll update this tomorrow.

Maternity clothes: going to Black Friday this week, I want to get a Christmas outfit.

Movement: just discovered yesterday that after I'm done exercising Bubba moves around A LOT! Another motivation for me to get moving.

Sleep: I'm having a harder time turning around at night now. I'm still waking up a lot for the bathroom, o well!

Cravings: so I totally caved in and had Burger King last Thursday. But as for cravings recently, not really.

Symptoms: well, just the usual. I know that if I eat food that's not so great then I get heartburn. If I don't drink enough water then I get a headache. So really, I don't have much to complain about.

Best moment of the week: feeling all the movements last night. But Sunday (not the best moment but...) I woke up with a headache and immediately drank water thinking it would help. Instead I threw up so violently that I burst blood vessels in my face and down my neck. Lucky me! Haha, I'm going to look SO FABULOUS after I deliver Bubba I'm sure, with my face all spotted. Oh well, that's okay I'll have a beautiful baby to cuddle.

Happy Wednesday!

N.

17 weeks!

It's Wednesday again! Therefore, another baby Bubba update. Enjoy!!


How far along: 17 weeks

Size of baby: turnip (5 inches & 5 ounces)

Weight gain/loss: I'm weighing in on Thursday mornings now, so I'll update this tomorrow. I'm a little nervous, I had a BAD long weekend with going over calories.

I weighed in, down another 0.2 pounds which means I've basically gained nothing so far this pregnancy.

Maternity clothes: I haven't bought anything new... Just enjoying mixing things up.

Movement: I definitely felt something last night while lying down and watching tv. It was a very soft fluttering type sensation. I felt it again in the middle of the night and a little now that I'm sitting and relaxing for my lunch break.

Sleep: I'm waking up a lot more often at night and its taking me a bit longer to fall asleep but that's all.

Cravings: this week has been bad again for cravings but I'm just not giving in anymore. I want a whopper with cheese again from Burger King but I haven't indulged.... yet.

Symptoms: a little bit of heartburn again and my hips feel very loose these days. I'm trying to walk a lot more, that's when my hips get sore. And lots of burps... haha, I'm so gassy it's quite entertaining to Cam.

Best moment of the week: feeling what I'm sure was the baby last night. Although I was experiencing some gas, if it was just gas then I'll be SO disappointed :'(

Happy Wednesday! I'm a lucky girl, my momma is making me dinner tonight!

N.

16 weeks pregnant!!

It's Wednesday again! Therefore, another baby Bubba update. Enjoy!!

I'm going to do a picture every other week, so look for my 17 week photo next week :) okay, so I lied, here's my 16 weeks photo.


How far along: 16 weeks

Size of baby: Avocado (4-5 inches & 3-5 ounces)

Weight gain/loss: lost 2.6lbs this week which means that since finding out I'm pregnant I've gained 0.4lbs total.

Maternity clothes: I feel like my maternity wardrobe is better than what I had before I got pregnant! I'm LOVING getting dressed in the morning.

Movement: not yet :'( but I know that there's a chance it can happen soon and that makes me SO excited!!

Sleep: the time change over the weekend threw me off a bit. But otherwise, sleep is good! Dreams are getting weird though.

Cravings: ummmm, they've mostly gone. Other than wanting a spicy tuna roll and having chocolate Cheerios almost everyday. I'm doing great with my calorie counting, I think that's helping.

Symptoms: honestly, nothing to complain about. I finally understand why women love this trimester so much. My energy is back, heartburn basically gone, cramps are gone, things are good!

Best moment of the week: when I stepped on the scale yesterday and realized that I'm doing GREAT! It was the best feeling to know that this belly is all baby and my hard work is paying off :)

Happy Wednesday! I'm looking forward to a relaxing night tonight while my hubby is stuck doing homework (poor Camy).
N.

15 weeks exactly!! Happy Halloween!!

How far along: 15 weeks

Size of baby: I find this out tomorrow

Maternity clothes: the other day I picked up a pair of maternity jeans and black maternity pants, two tops and a super cute sweater. Then I got maternity underwear and I swear if you're preggo and not wearing these underwear then you're missing out!!!!!

Movement: not yet :( still the same old growing pains. But I'm sooooo looking forward to that first flutter.

Sleep: no problems here, thank goodness! I'm loving all the naps I get when I can get them.

Cravings: other than the fight with myself to stay out of the Halloween candy bowl, just Pho from Pho Rex has been on my mind. Oh, and Mi Mexico, ok maybe the need for fruit cups and orange juice still surfaces every so often.

Symptoms: heartburn like you wouldn't believe!!!! Thank goodness that I've kicked my ass into gear and will bust my butt to eat healthier. That should combat the horrible fire I'm getting daily, I feel like a dragon.

Best moment of the week: when the doctor on Monday said I can definitely keep working full time. That was a huge encouragement to me to get moving, track my eating and take care of myself and my little pumpkin.


Have a very safe and fun HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
I'll be the momma cat with the round pumpkin belly at my parents front door with the candy bowl.
N.

staying full time!

So I went to the doctor yesterday and was cleared to work full time. I'm quite excited that everything is healthy and the symptoms I've been experiencing are just a normal part of pregnancy. The cramping was especially scary, but doc said that my tummy is just growing, that's all!! The doctor was funny cause she called my work "mommy work" which is a very appropriate description. We'll re-evaluate every prenatal appointment with whether or not I should continue to work but as of now, I'm full time!!!

One thing that came out of the appointment was my doctors very real concern about my weight. I know, I was FAR from where I wanted to be when I got pregnant. BUT I did work hard to loose like 20-25 lbs before I got pregnant. So basically I just need to get back to the healthy mentality I was in before my nausea changed things. I can do it, I feel very empowered to take care of me and Bubba! Plus... they weighed me after I drank a liter of water, ate a big meal and was wearing a whole bunch of clothing (geeez!) so I'm going with the number on my own scale.


Look!! I worked out today, so happy to get back on the bike. I can definitely keep this up.

After the YES to full time work I went to the mall with my mom to get maternity jeans (and celebrate!). Buying jeans that I feel great in and that fit and look great was such a fabulous idea!! I even got maternity underwear which is THE BEST!! I must buy more cause they're that fabulous.

Of course I asked my mom to come for support, to speak up when I forgot to mention something and to remember what the doctor says cause I often forget. But the really neat thing was that she got to hear Bubba's heartbeat. She was grinning ear to ear, talking about it afterwards. Bubba is her first grandbaby so to hear the heartbeat was really special to her, I'm so glad she got to be there for that.

Anyways, I've been the worst with the photo updates (sorry) so the next photo will be week 15. I'm definitely showing!!

Happy almost Halloween!! Cam is searching for my cat ears :)

14 weeks & 2 days

I can't believe that it's already been another week! So here's the next update... Enjoy :)

(Picture to come)

How far along: 14 weeks & 2 days

Size of baby: large navel orange (4.5 inches)

Maternity clothes: most definitely, I'm still fitting into my "fat pants" from last year but that'll change quick. My sister sent me her stuff (thanks again Jess!!) so that's helped with some tops but I still need to find some jeans and tights. Any good tips?!

Movement: not exactly, but I occasionally it feels different in my lower abdomen. It's SOOO hard to explain and words have somehow disappeared from my vocabulary, but whatever feeling this is, it's reminding me there's a person in there somewhere.

Sleep: work has been challenging this week, so I've been sleeping about 11 hours a night these last few nights. It's been glorious!!!

Cravings: I want pizza really bad and orange juice, mostly just orange juice though.

Symptoms: the new thing is this headache I can't shake. I broke down and took Tylenol even though I really didn't want to.

Best moment of the week: when I came home yesterday from work to a clean house, thanks to Cam! Then my brother Jason took me out for dinner and treated me to a delicious feast (it wasn't pizza, but it was still gooood!).

That's it!!

N.

Boy or Girl??

It's definitely too early in my pregnancy to find out the gender. But even when we would be able to find out, Cam and I agreed that we want to be surprised at the birth.

What I find interesting is that this question is the first I'm asked from everyone and very frequently I get the "I can't believe you don't want to know" response. Usually I respond that it's the biggest surprise in life and so we will wait but honestly, YES OF COURSE I want to know!!! But patience is a virtue and Cam has an abundance of it.

So what's your guess? Mine? I think this babe is a boy. I've been looking at boys clothes, picking out boys names, thinking about boy stuff. It only occurred to me a week or so ago that this baby could be a girl!! Just because I think it's a boy doesn't mean it is a boy, remember we aren't finding out until I push the baby out. So someone's gotta call it's a boy but I very well could hear "it's a girl!!!".

So why am I so intent in thinking that the peach sized baby I'm carrying is a boy?? Now don't think I'm crazy or anything but around the first week of August I had this very vivid dream. Do you ever get dreams were its more reality than dream? Well, I do and when I do it's very very real. I had one of these dreams and in it I was in a hospital bed in a hospital gown and in labour pushing. Then all the sudden a screaming, beautiful, perfect baby boy was put on my chest and the dream was over. Then a week or so after this I had another vivid realistic dream that I was lying in bed with a very large baby belly, I could feel and touch my belly and it was hard. I didn't think much of these dreams until my cycle never came two weeks after the belly dream and then the pregnancy test said positive.

So does this mean I'm having a boy? I'm not sure, but I really wouldn't be surprised. I was definitely pregnant at the time I had both those dreams, I just didn't know it. How crazy is that?? But of course, there's a good chance this baby is a girl! We'll just have to wait another 26 or so weeks to find out!

N.

13 weeks pregnant!

So a friend of mine did this on her blog when she was pregnant with her second (ahem, kortney). So I decided once I hit my second trimester then I'd do the same and start taking weekly photos.

So here is post #1


How far along: 13 weeks!

Size of baby: peach (3 inches long)

Maternity clothes: yep! Black maternity pants, still can fit into my fat jeans from when I lost a bunch of weight before I got pregnant. A few pregnancy tops and will be receiving a box from my sister full of more stuff (YAY!).

Movement: nope, too early for that but I do feel a lot of stretching type sensations in my lower abdomen. A few minor cramps too when I bend over too much at work.

Sleep: looove sleep, I can't get enough sleep. I'm fast asleep by 10pm and take naps when I can get them. Now I'm finally having a harder time sleeping on my tummy.

Cravings: I just had to have a whopper with cheese no onions or pickles the other day! I caved and gave in, it was glorious!!

Symptoms: tired, a lot of the time I'm just tired. I'm trying to find motivation to get out walking again.

Best moment of the week: telling some of the kids at work that I have a baby in my belly! It's so surreal to say.

Now finally it's second trimester!! So happy to have reached this point. It's going by so fast. I'm loving it :)

N.

Priorities

Apparently I can't do it all, according to my husband I'm not superwoman, I'm super mom! So back in the spring as I was planning my life for the fall I never thought for once that I couldn't complete my goals. Even if I was to get pregnant.

I mean why wouldn't I be able to work full time daycare, go to night class and grow a baby in my uterus? I mean come on, I can do it all right? NOPE!

I'm so grateful for the fantastic company I work for. A company that loves children and believes in investing in their education. But also in their employees, enough to communicate concern. Especially if the one they're concerned about is pregnant, exhausted, stressed and could burn out sooner than later (ME!).

So after I shed tears, prayed, realized how I'm truly feeling and the reality of what's happening in my body, I made some serious changes. First, I dropped my ECE night class and praise GOD that they refunded me the full amount. Then I committed to trading shifts at work for the later shift which means more sleep. And now I'm in conversation at work about going down to part-time.

This means a lower maternity pay, but you know what? Money isn't everything and as Cam mentioned before, his baby and his wife's health mean much more than a few hundred dollars a month.

So yah, I'm not superwoman. I'm a 27 year old super mom growing a miracle and prioritizing the importance of that miracle. I love you Bubba, with every fiber of my being and I will do anything and everything for you!!

Tears of joy!

When we told my family about Bubba coming my mother burst into tears and couldn't stop! We decided to save our news for our Kroeker family Whistler trip. Cam was intent on getting cigars for the boys so I insisted on getting my mom a board book. On it I wrote: for my Omie, love your grand baby coming April 2013. When we got to whistler, after an incredibly horrible drive up for me which involved fish n' chips, nausea, brothers deodorant smell and very strong smelling mint gum. The front desk at the hotel invited us for a free drink and appies at a mixer and if you know my family we never say no to free food and booze. So we had to tell our secret sooner than planned cause if I wasn't drinking the free booze then there would be some raised eyebrows!
I came out of my bedroom with the book behind my back and announced that I had something to give mom. I handed her the book and she started to read it out loud. When she finally realized what it said she looked up and was like "wha?!" I then said "yes! I'm pregnant!" She then burst out in tears, dad had the biggest smile I've ever seen and my brothers were beyond words! Cam handed out the cigars (which they smoked our last night out there). I had to admit that Cam was right to save our news for the trip even though we knew weeks prior. Hardest secret to keep!!
Since then we've told friends personally and went public after our ultrasound. The amount of love and support has been incredible! We are so blessed by everyone who is sharing in our joy. My good friend Amy was in tears the other day telling me that my pregnancy is making her so happy! My mom has had friends crying when she shared the news! My auntie Lori was in tears when we told her and our good friend Dave made sure I knew how happy he was cause he knew the surgery, pain and uncertainty that came before this little one.
My brothers are even experiencing their own celebrations with people giving them overwhelming congrats! My best friend Nantina is showing off my ultrasound photo to people like a proud aunt should! My grandpa told me that it's about time!!! Hahaha... So THANK YOU! To everyone... every single one of you who have shed tears, given us hugs, came over with gifts (kailee!), said congratulations, made me dinner (twice, Alissa), and loved us through the journey to get here and will be there on the day of to help me get Bubba out (Kortney). YOU'RE the best!! And we love you!!!

The moment we found out!

The moment my life changed was when I peed on that stick (pictured below) on a Saturday morning in August! It was incredibly emotional and shocking all at the same time. I did NOT expect to have gotten pregnant so quickly after we started trying in May. The gynecologists gave us the green light in April after I finished my MVP hospital program for my Vestibulodynia. We conceived the end of July!!! Good thing we were so diligent with our birth control before, who knew I was as fertile as my mom was at my age.

With all my hopes and dreams, tears and fears about motherhood. That moment the pee stick said positive was one of glee, excitement and crazy happiness. I'm going to be a mommy, I'm carrying a beautiful baby! I can not wait to feel it moving and kicking. But the first few weeks of this pregnancy was scary with intense cramps that got me worried. All is well though and baby is happy, healthy and growing strong! Keep growing sweet Bubba, mommy can't wait to meet you :)


Happy thanksgiving!!!!!
N.

exciting news to share!!!

I'M PREGNANT!!!! Yep, that's right. 9 weeks & 5 days along and we're so thrilled! We had a dating ultrasound yesterday morning and it was so fantastic to see our baby's fluttering heart. I just about cried, he/she may have looked like a peanut on screen but our little babe sure stole our hearts and got us a little teary eyed. I love baby Bubba with all my heart!! I can't wait for April 2013 😀





Our lives are never going to be the same, and I can't wait!!!

Blessings & excitement

Daycare vs. Preschool

After my first full week of working daycare... it's official, I LOVE it! So much more than preschool even. I hope that I can continue most of my ECE career working W&T daycare rather than preschool. However, having Christmas, spring break and the summer off is something I'll definitely miss. O well, give and take right? If that's the only con then I can live with that.

Speaking of cons lets make a pros & cons list shall we?

Pros!

* daycare only has 25 children each day (some only come certain days) so I really have the opportunity to get to know each child. Rather than the 80 children that I would have total if I was in preschool.

* the ratio is awesome! 25 children for 5 teachers! Instead of 20 children for 2 teachers, the support from the other teachers is so helpful. You don't feel so stressed and overwhelmed with redirecting and reminding so many on your own. Chaos is much more controlled.

* I get a 15 minute break at 9:30am and then a hour break at 11:30-12:30pm. Such a great part of the day to sit back and relax. In preschool you let the morning class out at 11:30am and by the time the children are dismissed and all your parents have asked their questions and your door is closed, it's about 11:45am. Then you have to re-set the class and prep for the afternoon. By the time that's over and you get to eat, it's noon. Then it's chow time until 12:25pm when you need to quickly run to the bathroom to be ready to re-open at 12:30pm. Stressful? Yes!!!! Do you get to eat all your lunch? Not all the time.

* daycare has nap time and I get to be in there for the first 45 minute shift! All my kids sleep great!!!! So majority of the time I get to sit next to the sweetest kids and rub their backs and play with their hair until they start snoring away. Then I sit back and watch them sleep and pray quietly for each and every one of them. I don't get that in preschool.

* we get to play! All day long! When I get to work at 7:30am I walk into free play time. I play cars, play dough, puzzles, duplo, doll house, kitchen, the list goes on. We listen to children's music and after free play inside is over and after circle is done we do free play outside! So much time to play, I love watching them learn through play. Preschool has free play too but not nearly as much, their free play is shorter cause of the time crunch.


Cons!

* preschool is closed 2 weeks for Christmas, 2 weeks for spring break and 8 weeks for the summer. In daycare I get 10 days paid vacation that I get to take whenever I want. As well as 20 flex days (unpaid). It's really a great deal, but I like my Christmas off :)

That's my list!!! I'm so happy to be where I am, it's so much fun :)

Whistler

This marks the end of my eight weeks off for summer, tomorrow I'm back at work! I'm nervously excited to get back into the classroom and get to know a whole new group of parents and children. I still absolutely love my job, it's just going to take a little while to get into the new routine. But that's okay.

This weekend we were at whistler and loved every moment. I love the beauty of British Columbia and I think whistler really speaks to that. I'm sad to be leaving today, but we'll be back again another time for sure!


Happy labour day!!!!

Blueberries

So I was at my good friend Alissa's house yesterday. When I got there she suggested going to the local farm to pick blueberries. Which doesn't sound like a big deal I know, but if you knew me then you'd know I despise picking berries. Cam LOVES picking berries, he did it as a child and we always get invited to go picking with his parents every summer. When he asks me to go he always bribes me with chocolate strawberries and Starbucks. But how could I say no to Alissa's darling 6 month old daughter and the idea of fresh blueberries? So I went, without a fuss and without a Starbucks.

When Cam found out that I willingly went picking he was jokingly confused and furious. He requested a homemade blueberry pie immediately and so I figured I'd give it a try. You know, I've never baked a pie before.


Just waiting to go into the oven


All done and waiting for Cam to get home from work. What do you think?

pretty flowers

My husband really has a wonderful gift given by God to make landscapes gorgeous! And I am always excited when the flowers make their debut.





These are just a few I took pictures of today. There are many more ready to bloom in the next few days. And our vegetable garden is flourishing. We absolutely love our backyard oasis. The fish are even getting much bigger in their pond, hopefully I can get a close up picture of them soon.

I think tomorrow I'll be spending a lot of time outside :)

Broadway CCC (child care centre)

This week I'm subing at a child care development centre (fancy language for daycare) for W&T. I thought it'd be a great opportunity to see the schedule in action.

I was slow at first with getting back into the swing of things and daycare is incredibly different from preschool. I knew it would be but not as much as I've been experiencing this week.

So today I finally "got it"; the flow of the day, the rules that are different, the 25 names of the children and their individual personalities. I felt like a teacher again today and it was AWESOME! I'm so glad to be working child care come September. I'm loving all of it!! What a fabulous opportunity to spend some real quality time with the children in my care. It's going to be so much fun!

I'm already not looking forward to saying goodbye tomorrow to the kids I've met this week. I got so many hugs today! And I overheard a mother tell her daughter at drop off, "you are smart, you are beautiful, you are important"! It made me grin ear to ear.

I'll be glad to have my break back come Monday. But this experience has just made me more aware of how much I love my career and how excited I am
for September and my future as a W&T teacher.

Goodnight :)

Bike intervals

So my brother has been seeing a personal trainer for a while now for his work outs. He's lost a lot of weight so of course I asked him to ask his trainer "what's one simple thing I can do at home?". Of course he came back with something hardcore! Bike intervals, 3 times a week for 16 minutes each time. This is to help promote fat loss (not just weight loss). Jay added that I'll want to die every time I do it, and as soon as I can't beat my calories lost then I need to move up the level (meaning it gets tougher!). So I've been doing it... and I've almost thrown up a couple times, I sweat like crazy (gross!) but I LOVE the challenge. So guess what? I kicked ass this morning, my previous success was 204 calories lost and today 229 calories lost!!!!!! So crazy happy about it that I'm having sushi tonight... but no worries, it's in my calorie count for today, so it's alright :)


PS. I always feel so darn awesome after my work outs.

Happy Saturday!
