Linda had an amazing Body Pump class this morning. The room was packed and they actually ran out of space for benches and were short about 4 mats. Whenever the class is that crowded, she feels pressured to go heavier than she normally lifts. The adrenaline from so many people somehow fuels her muscles so they can lift more weight. After the lunge/squat track, her quads actually buckled a little bit while she was walking back to the stereo! She lifted to actual muscular failure.

Next she made a Sam's club run to get food for Sarah's baby shower tomorrow night. It's only a few more weeks before she will give birth. It's going to be so amazing and such a miracle when she is finally here and Linda can hold her in her arms. (Of course Linda is tearing up writing this.) We already have a little pop-up crib, but need to get a stroller and car seat. Linda wanted to get a double stroller so she can push Noah and the baby at the same time, but the chances of them both being her at the same time are probably slim. She's just going to get a single stroller that can be used for infants and toddlers. This way when Sarah comes over to visit or Linda gets an opportunity to babysit, Sarah does not have to lug everything with her.

The last bit of news is that Linda is going back to her healthy eating for 14 days. She is so black or white and is struggling to find that gray area of nutrition. It's either a perfect clean eating diet or sugar, fats and junk. Last time she ate zero sugar or bad carbs for 40 days, but then slowly let it slide back into jalapeno poppers, fried veggie spring rolls, pizza and cheesy nachos for dinner. She is going to bury her carrot cake muffins deep in the freezer so she is not tempted to finish them off. While she was at Sam's Club shopping, they were sampling this amazing carrot cake! Linda had to will herself not to stop and get a taste.
