Week 1 – Natural Childbirth Training

I’ve got one week under my ever expanding belt and it feels good. I’ve almost finished this book and we’ve got 3 weeks until our Bradley Method classes start.

I started this first week of ‘training’ with 2 things in mind; discipline and forgiveness. I wanted to focus on disciplining myself to workout and find time for the exercises. However, I also wanted to keep in mind that early on in any training, it’s good to forgive yourself for not being perfect. That’s worked out well :)

I also got started with a simply checklist that really helps me see my progress and stay on track.

At the top of the sheet I have blank lines for the 2 days of miscellaneous fitness I want to complete each week. I also have two more lines for the two days of strength training I want to complete each week. The bottom has a chart that lists the basic exercises I need to be doing five days a week and I simply check those off as I go.

I’ve tried to maintain a record of my workouts on the right side of this blog and that helps me as well, knowing I have to post to the world wide web :)

My notes for the week:

1. I give my self a B – as a grade for this week. This is based on the fact that I didn’t complete one of my miscellaneous fitness days, and I missed one day of my 5 days/week workout.

2. I feel more confident about this training and the end result as I’ve been reading and researching. That always helps.

3. It feels great to be training again!

In other news, our nursery furniture and decor is 90% purchased and is being stored in my office until the room is ready for it. Woo Hoo!!!!!
