Rants/raves: I have been better about eating well (until yesterday when DH brought home a box of donut holes and 4 boxes of Girl Scout cookies!!!) and more consistent about exercising. My new rule is I have to do something every other day. I think this week that rule allowed me to be lazy and not work out if I had the day before, but I will at least get 3-4 days a week in if I stick to it.
Goals this week: 5 days! It's supposed to be nice later in the week and I have three new prenatal DVDs from the library so no excuses! Try not to eat ALL the Girl Scout cookies and donut holes!!!
Yeah, I walked a lot for exercise before. Usually at a 3.7mph, pushing a double stroller. I'm down to a 3.3mph now but that's ok. I don't consider a leasuirely stroll exercise. I have to get my HR up for it to count.
@Jcrewgirl85, no it absolutely didn't! I understand exactly what you meant.

Goals for next week: keep up the routine
GTYK: Just curious, did any of you consider walking to be a form of exercise before you were pregnant?
Totally, some people only are able to walk;however, I don't think walking a mile justifies that(if that makes sense?)
Weekly Log:
barre3 class everyday m-f sat prenatal yoga sun stretch/ foam roller time
Rants/Raves:
pants are getting very uncomfortable maternity or otherwise.
Goals for next week:
Increase arm weights/ wall squats everyday
GTYK:
Absolutely! Speed walking is awesome and preferred over running bc it's much less stress on joints. Add some weights and you are working hard.
