Oh Boy oh Boy!!


The title says it all. I’m having a baby boy. Very excited to experience the relationship that a mom and son have…
In the last month my belly has popped and I’m certainly feeling preggo. I remember thinking; I can’t wait until I have a stomach, so people don’t look at me and think I’m fat. Now, I can’t wait for my baby boy to arrive because he’s killing my back and joints. Lol

My last doctor appointment didn’t go the way I wanted it to. I gained 5lbs in 4 weeks. (Was out of town on travel for a week) The doctor advised me that I’m at higher risk for a C-section, if I was to continue on with the weight gain. He knows my goal of competing three months after Kayson is due.  Which is why he talked to me about the weight gain.. We reviewed my weight gain overall after learning this. I started at 127 5.5 months ago. I’m at 138 now.  So, in the past five months I have gained 11 lbs. He wants me to gain between 20-25… As you can see, I’m right where I’m suppose to be. My current body fat is 25%.

My workouts are pretty inconsistent for the most part. I get a solid four workouts in a week, but sometimes it may just be cardio based on my energy. Today’s workouts consisted of;
30 minutes on elliptical with various inclines followed up with 15 minutes on the bike with a consistent speed.

1.       Incline barbell press: 3 sets, 8-10 reps.

2.       Flat dumbbell fly: 3 sets, 10-15 reps.

3.       Cable cross-over: 3 sets, 20-25 reps.

4.       Military Press: 3 sets, 8-10 reps.

5.       Seated Side lateral Raises: 3 sets, 10- 15 reps.

6.       Reverse Fly: 3 sets, 20-25 reps.

7.       Close Grip Bench press: 3 sets, 8-10 reps.

8.       Overhead dumbbell extensions: 3 sets, 10-15 reps.

9.       Pushdowns: 3 sets, 20-25 reps.

This workout kicked my bootay! I’m really looking forward to training again with intensity.
In my last ultra sound Kayson was a little under 12 inches long and weighed a little over a pound. (comparable to a  large mango).  He’s VERY active and definitely responds to stimulation… Like the sound of his Daddy’s and my voice. He also responds to sugar… Literally flips out! Granny Smith apples are a hit.

In the mix of being fully preggo, I’m very excited to have opened my own fitness and wellness studio. It has been a long time coming. My vision is very clear on what I want to create in my community. Especially on how I want to give back. It’s really awesome to see my vision come to life.  I’m also very grateful for my other business. “Wink Marketing.” I’m contracted into a mortgage firm in Roseville, and I absolutely love some of the people I get to spend my day with. I’m continuing to grow as a business professional, and I love the opportunity that brings for me and my family.
In addition to all this fun and amazing growth, I’m very very excited to share that I finally will be speaking in public high schools. My first school is in Chico, CA.  Next week I get to share my story with hundreds of high school students. I’m very excited to share my story with a younger generation. As, my story really began in high school as a teenage mom.

I’ve experienced some hardships in the last couple weeks. Overcoming opinions of what others think of my life and how I live it. Who I’m together with and how awesome our love is. My business, my team, my family and home. I’ll never understand, especially at this age, why people waste energy on trying to bring others down.  The negativity, dishonesty and focus that go into creating so much drama baffles me. My coaches and mentors always remind me… The more success you have, the more you are in the spot light, the more available you are to critics and jealousy.  However, the awesome thing about being present in my life is that my love, my passion and my dreams are real. I’ll continue to develop and grow, love and teach.   I’ll end this by saying this. You can’t airbrush personality. And some people just have an ugly personality.
 
 
 
 

It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.

Love,
Jess
