39 Weeks

I'm 39 weeks today!  Eye took this picture while I was doing Pilates on my new equipment.   I always feel really strong after I exercise.  I haven't been walking as much because it is just to0 hot now and I have to pee every 5 feet so I can't walk my mile anymore.  But we have been swimming everyday which I LOOOVE.   I feel so weightless.  I hate getting out of the pool because I feel soooo heavy.    I've been trying not to obsess about my due date next Monday. He'll come when he is ready.   I'm keeping busy teaching, reading, napping and spending time with my husband.   Being patient is hard for me but I have learned through out this whole process that there are things I cannot control.  So with that being said time to go swimming!!!

Nama...sigh

I'm pretty frustrated that I can't find  a good Yoga class.  The pre-natal classes are way too easy and boring for me at this stage.  I took an Inyegar class today which was interesting.  We used ropes and lots of blocks and blankets.  There was one great stretch that really opened my chest.  It felt good.  But then I got bored fast and my mind started to wander.  I need to sweat a little or at least feel my body get warm.  I've been walking a lot.  I usually do 45 minutes to an hour every other day.   I'm teaching Pilates and I'm also doing Hula once a week.  I guess that's pretty active but I still feel like it's not enough.  I miss sweating, I miss the feeling you get after a really good work out.  I know that I can't push too hard so I just have to find that happy medium.  

Accomplished!!!

    

Since October I have been traveling to Pasadena once a month to take classes to get my Pilates Teaching Certification.   It's been an amazing  journey for me.  Not only have I gained knowledge about Pilates, I have also learned so much about myself and my body.   When I started my course I was 8 weeks pregnant and I was scared I wasn't going to finish.  I was afraid that my changing body would inhibit me to learn or demonstrate the exercises when the time came.  Joy and Trish, my amazing instructors here in Vegas, told me that I could definitely finish the course. Today I took my final and passed my practical exam!!!!  (I am still waiting to for my written scores)   It felt so good to finish this course now that I am almost 7 months pregnant.   I am really proud of myself.  I have to thank my amazing Pasadena instructor, for always supporting me and never letting my pregnancy get in the way of learning.  Thank you to my beautiful fellow students in the class, it was such a pleasure to spend these past months with you.  I must say a especial thank you to "Claire's mom."  Thank you for being so open.  I am truly honored and humbled by your openness.     My name is Coralissa and I feel accomplished!!!
