I never really truly understood what it was like to be so busy. I was so used to the luxury of being a live in nanny that I could take as much time as I needed in the gym to do what ever it is I needed to do.

But being in "the real world" has taken me by my throat and pinned me against the wall. When I was finished being a nanny i went to work full time for the gym I worked part time for while I was a nanny. After 2 solid months of proving my self to the company, I got promoted to managing 2 gyms since our company owns 11 soon to be 15. The gyms I manage have 2 of the biggest deals tied to them causing endless amounts of stress....and I have to make sure I exceed expectations casing me to work endless hours. On top of that I am working part time on the weekends cooking at an amazing sushi/thai restaurant. Im putting in about 60-70 hours a week between the two.

But now im going to do what I have to do to make it work. I Was just so tired and burnt out I didn't care about working out...When 9pm hits I would just say FUCK IT im tired. But I can't do that anymore.
Its hard to get a work out in when everyone interups you or needs you for something. I of course wont be mean because I want to be the friendliest gym around.

So Im waking up super early to do my cardio and lift. If i dont get my lift in at least I dont have to do my cardio at night and all I'll have to do is lift!

Im not trying to worry about putting on size more just mainting it and just enjoying it again. Make it a hobby rather than a chor!

so here I go... lets hope that everything is ok if you know what i mean

Be sure to take the time for you since you only get one body! Find ways to make it work! (I also get up ass-early to train. It sucks, but it's got to be done)

It's time to go to a doctor for prenatal care...not a bodybuilding forum full of people you do not know.

Good luck, Rachel. You'll make a great mama.

Congrats! Its amazing how some things just bring clarity to what the next steps are. Sounds like you're in the right frame of mind and have the priorities set. The details work themselves out and I thinnk most fo all, don't forget to "live" the experience. It is a true miracle!
