Can't tie my shoes: Get-back-in-shape-plan

It's getting difficult to do things. Even tying my shoe has become a challenge. I will be 30 weeks tomorrow. I have officially gained TOO much weight, but only 10 weeks to go and my precious Nicholas will introduce himself to the world. I am excited , a little anxious, and unprepared. I have been focused a lot on the business and the new business. I am preparing to be off work as long as I can so that I may nurse as long as he needs. So I guess I am preparing for Nicholas, but in an nontraditional way.  I am going to stop working after my presentation in April and then be out until late August, early September. We will see. I will have to play it by ear. At this moment, I have and am continuing to get my ducks in a row.

Well, I have been reading leadership books and reviewing my nutritional book to keep my mind fresh. I want to be ready to roll once I get my new life in order.

Oh, I have been reading this book about supernatural childbirth and reading the scriptures inside the book. They brought great comfort to me during the delivery of Bug. I believe that God's word will comfort me during this delivery as well. I am praying for a fast, and I do mean fast labor and delivery.

This is my beginning workout plan after Nicholas' birth ( I am so glad that Nic is coming right as the summer approaches. Great weather to go walking with the baby):

Week 1 & 2: 3 days of walking (1mile) per week. 2 days of light weight training (20 minutes).
Week 3 & 4: 4 days ( 2 mile walk) 3 days of weight training (30 minutes)
Week 5 & 6: 5 days 2.5 mile walk; 3 days of weight training (1 hr)
Week 7-14: Begin the couch to 5k program and sign up for the Women's Run in September.
After  5k train for 13 miler for St. Jude (Yes, I know I said the 26 miler, but I have to be real. I don't know what my life is going to be like with two children and it is going to be a big adjustment and I want to give my body enough time it needs to be successful at completing the full marathon. Now don't get me wrong, if I progress through my "Mia get back in shape plan" faster than anticipated, you can bet you bottom dollar that I will finish the full. We will see. Well that is the plan that I have so far for losing all this weight. I can't wait to get started.
