Any day now and now a week old

I started to write this as my last pregnancy post last Monday and titled it "Any Day Now" and then my world changed and now I am finishing this post while our perfect 1 week old daughter lays on my chest.

On September 2nd at 12:47pm Jake and I welcomed our tiny fighter into this world. She made sure to put me through the hardest (felt like I sprinted an uphill marathon) 3 days of my life before taking our breath away. Meet Scarlett Isabelle Jaworski- 7lbs 12 oz and 22 inches of perfection:




My final pregnant days of fitness:

I felt great for 40 weeks. My last week of pregnancy consisted of daily walks, light weights and I capped it off with a 2 mile run the day before I went into labor. I don't regret a single workout I did during these 40 weeks and can already tell that my recovery has been a breeze because I stayed in shape. I went into labor on 8/31 which was my final day of "being active." Jake, JJ and I went on a walk that evening even though I was in so much pain....it was the last walk for our family of 3! 



Now what?

Scarlett is a week old. I am counting down the days until I can jump back into my hard workouts. Until then I am easing back into things and trying to walk a little everyday. Once the weather cools down this week I should be able to log some actual walking miles, and do some longer stretches and core work.

I am even more excited for some of our upcoming events this month. Scarlett, Jake and I will be walking in Hoosiers Outrun Cancer in Bloomington with my family, the Alzheimer's Walk in Indy and the ADA Walk in Indy! Stay tuned for how these turn out with our new family memberšŸ˜³.

 

Exciting news:

Jake got me the BEST "push present" I could ask for. He got me a membership for crossfit Fishers and I couldn't be more excited to start in October! I am really looking forward to this new challenge.


Best husband a girl could ask for!
 
These next few weeks will be about figuring out a schedule, easing back into fitness and enjoying my family. I will be posting about my recovery and what workouts I do to get back to where I was!

Holidays and Fitness

Image
Happy Holidays! This time of year is filled with family, food and traveling for most people. All of that makes it harder to stay on a good workout schedule, right? Wrong! For me, fitting fitness in around the holidays is fun. For us, we spend a lot of time traveling to Bloomington, South Bend and Chicago and we are always getting delicious food wherever we are with family. It is important for us to enjoy ALL of the food, family AND make sure we get some sort of workout in. Walks- Holidays are spent with family, some who you don't get to see much. Grab them and head out for a morning, mid day or evening walk wherever you are! While we were in Bloomington, my mom, sister, 2 neices and brother in law all went out for a walk after our feast. It is always nice to get your blood circulating, burn a few calories AND socialize. Holiday Runs- There are so many organized runs around the holidays and they are SO much fun! I encourage everyone to take advantage of their local runs ...

Fitness Tribute to My Dad

Image
  I type this with a broken heart, but as you all know my dad passed away last week in his sleep. My dad was the greatest man I have ever known and never missed anything in my life. He was my biggest supporter in everything I did especially fitness.   He was a very active guy and was his entire life. He (and my mom) are the reason why I am a fitness fanatic. Because of that, I felt this blog post needed to be dedicated to him and all of the fitness memories I have with him. From coaching me and my sister in nearly everything growing up, to bike rides, 5Ks, triathlons, hikes, racquetball, swimming and organized bike rides my dad was SO active and my biggest hero for that reason.  The number of races and rides he participated in during his life are uncountable, and I can't even try to list everything. My dad loved the camaraderie of organized runs, walks, rides. As you all know he was a man of tradition so we did a lot of the events ye...
