Happy Monday! Hope the first weekend of the new year was a good one. I had a bout of food poisoning unfortunately but am feeling better today. It’s been a while since I did a health and fitness news roundup so here’s what’s new and interesting: [su_divider top=”no”] The Marine Corps decided to delay implementing […] more
Back at it

First of all…Happy New Year! While the end of 2013 was a bit rocky for me, thing are looking up for 2014 🙂 Somewhat to my surprise, I was cleared to begin exercising again at my 6-week postpartum checkup. I felt both excitement and dread at the news – excitement that I’m healing so […] more
One Month

Yesterday my little Violet turned one month old. The past month has been quite the roller coaster, and I’m so glad that things are looking much better now than a month ago. Sure life with a newborn is quite challenging, but now that I’m feeling better and can do more life is getting easier (not […] more

Well I should start off by apologizing for the long delay in posting. It has been a difficult three weeks here. The good news is that we have a healthy baby girl named Violet Ann that was born November 19, 2013 at 8:07 PM weighing 8.04 lbs. The not so good news is that labor […] more

No signs that today is the day baby girl will arrive – I think she’s pretty comfortable where she is! At this point I hope I go into labor by Friday or else that she waits until Sunday afternoon. Why? Because Sunday morning is the US National Road Racing Championships right here in my neighborhood! […] more
Week 39: Almost Time!
| November 11, 2013 | Posted by The Fit Scoop under Uncategorized |
In short, at 39 weeks (and 5 days) baby girl is still in my belly. I will officially hit 40 weeks on Wednesday, but I suspect we still have a little while before she arrives so I’m trying to be patient and to distract myself as much as possible. We did a lot of work […] more

This week’s workout is one I actually did at 39 weeks pregnant. I’m posting it as an example of what you can still do as you near the end of your pregnancy (provided you have no complications that prevent you from lifting weights and you have been lifting consistently during your pregnancy). This workout is […] more
