I can do jumping jacks?!

Today I decided to keep it inside and do something OnDemand. I did Elle's Bikini Revolution Workout 1. I did the whole thing! I only had to modify two moves. The one where you hop down into plank, hop up and jump. I did it at half time. And then "mountain climbers" where again in plank position you're supposed to bring your knees to your chest rapidly. I just brought my knees in as far as I comfortably could, at about half time.
But jumping rope and jumping jacks? Fine! This is surprising to me because back in my first trimester, I was doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and I felt "off" doing any jumping moves and after one workout, I actually spotted, I'm guessing from the moves irritating my cervix. I don't know how having a 5+ pound baby in there is better, lol, but I did the moves with no discomfort!
Oh, and I got out yesterday morning early enough to run comfortably. My new plug for the high waist shaper is to say it makes running in month 8 feel like running in month 5 :D
Last, here I am, 34wks in my Brazilian cut bikini that I wouldn't even put on last year! Exercise does the body good ;)

Argh, the wind!

What is with this crazy weather?! Yesterday it was 80 and super windy. Today it's 55 and super windy. Cramping my usual outdoor workouts. My sinuses are killing me as is, so I've opted out of running in swirls of dust and pollen. Also, we're up against a deadline at work and when I'm on a roll, I hate to quit. So I've been brushing up on my OnDemand options after work! The ExerciseTV ten minute and twenty minute workouts have been fun and not that hard to modify for the burgeoning belly.
