and the winner is...

this page doesn't have to be all about my kids, right? so tonight i went to my water aerobics class. it's twice a week for an hour. my goal is to attend each week regularly up until i deliver. i need to keep my back as healthy as possible. it is a fantastic workout for people with back problems and of course being pregnant. one of my favorite things we do is push ups. there are 3 levels. level 1 is just standing near the side, hands on the edge of the pool and you simply do a standing push up. level 2, you put your palms on the side/edge of the pool and using your feet and arms, you push yourself out of the water, arms extended and repeat (that's what I do!!) level 3 is you push yourself out of the water and stay out, just lifting up and down (impossible!) what do we do you ask? Push ups for 30 seconds (as many as you can do) and then hold onto the side of the pool and kick as hard as you can for 2 mins. then we do it again (repeat drill 3 times). tonight our teacher had some V day presents she wanted to give away in some mini-contests. the first one was the push up contest. she didn't tell us until after the 2nd set. when we started the 3rd set, i was thinking we'll I'll try and see how far i get. i can usually do 18-20 level 2 push ups in 30 seconds. but it was a contest and I'm thinking the prize is chocolate hence the holiday. So, off we go and our 30 seconds started. I heard her say 10 more seconds and I kept pushing myself...I did 21!! and I won the prize!! LOL. this 24 week pregnant chick won the push up contest! and the reward was no chocolate at all. it's a cute little beaded heart with the breast cancer ribbon as the design. If I were Christy I would post a pic of it, but I don't think of things like that. I'm not really sure what to do with my prize. it's on a long pink satin ribbon, kind of like a Christmas ornament. I think I may take it to school and tell my class. I'm sure they'll get a kick outta my story.
