This check in is to discuss how your workout regime is going and to ask questions regarding exercising during pregnancy. 

How were your runs/walks/exercise this past week? If you are still running, how is that going? 

Any exciting news? Rants? 

GTKY: What is the best movie you have seen recently? What new movie are you really wanting to see?

How were your runs/walks/exercise this past week? 

If you are still running, how is that going? I was able to get back to slow running this last week. I'm suffering SPD and had a few painful episodes the previous week so I was just walking but I decided to give running a try again, just very slowly, and it worked. I'm running 12 min miles, which I'm okay with at this point. I ran ran 3 days, did crossfit twice, and strength training twice. 

Any exciting news? Rants? 

We are going on out of town on Thursday so I'll probably only get 3 days in this week. I'm trying to make them full hour workouts so that I don't feel as guilty not working out the rest of the week. 

GTKY: What is the best movie you have seen recently? What new movie are you really wanting to see?  After I posted the questions, I realized there are too many recent movies I have really liked... The Lego Movie, Captain Phillips (new to me), Ender's Game are among the best. And I'm really wanting to see How to Train Your Dragon 2.

Okay - its been hot and humid and that makes it tough for me to run- so doing indoor strength training DVDs - which I don't like as much,but its something. I didn't do anything yesterday as was on my feet most of the day organizing stuff around the house, doing lots of bending over and moving things and I find when I have a day like that - I'm more wiped out than I used to be (pregnancy weight and all I guess) and don't have much left for workouts.

Any exciting news? Rants?  Nothing really. Just a typical week. Maybe that baby is kicking a lot more and that makes me happy.

GTKY: What is the best movie you have seen recently? I haven't seen a lot of movies recently so will take something DH and I finally watched a few weeks ago- Django Unchained - really quite a good movie. What new movie are you really wanting to see? I don't have anything in particular on the agenda. I love movies, but we tend to catch them as they come up versus going out of our way to find them.

I've been pretty sick for the past week, and haven't been able to eat much, so my workouts haven't amounted to much more than walking the dog and doing yoga.

I guess my exciting news is that my stomach felt pretty good this afternoon and I ate dinner without it giving me much grief. We'll see if it wakes me up in a few hours, though.

I don't have a good movie to recommend right now, but I have one worth warning everyone away from: Another Earth. It is painfully over-directed and full of badness.

I want to do some type of running but I'm scared!

Walking has been going pretty well. FI and I take about a half hour walk every M,W, and F evening. Sometimes longer when we replace our walks with errands like grocery shopping. Saturday was Hoopfest and I was on my feet on and off from 11-6 and I did pretty well!

Movie? Saw How to Train Your Dragon 2, was a pretty good one! I can't wait for Mockingjay, even though that's pretty far out.

Just go for it! Your body will let you know if it's a bad idea.

I'm not running anymore (except for maybe once every other week) due to pelvic pain, but I'm still exercising 5-6 days/week.  I teach group fitness classes 3x/week and do my own workouts on the other days.  Some moves are starting to get uncomfortable, but I'm still putting the time in!

Any exciting news? Rants? 

I'm starting PiYo on Monday!  I can't wait!

GTKY: What is the best movie you have seen recently? What new movie are you really wanting to see? 

I haven't seen a movie in a LONG time!  Don't even know what's out right now.

How were your runs/walks/exercise this past week? If you are still running, how is that going? I have mostly transitioned from the treadmill to the elliptical over the past few weeks and that's been going well. When I do run, it's been OK, but I notice the weight of my belly a lot more. Also keeping up with light strength training (mostly arms) and daily walks with my DH and dog.

Any exciting news? Rants? 

Exciting: I did my baby registry last week, which was fun!

Rants: Am I the only one who needs to pee so often, it's hard to get through a work out?! And a full bladder seems to equal real discomfort at this point, so it's hard to push through it!

GTKY: What is the best movie you have seen recently? What new movie are you really wanting to see?

It was a Redbox rental, but About Time was a great movie-highly recommend it! I want to see The Fault in Our Stars, loved the book.

How were your runs/walks/exercise this past week? If you are still running, how is that going?  Walks are still going well.  I haven't been on the stationary bike at all because it's been so warm in the house.  Still doing Zumba once a week and so far, so good!

Any exciting news? Rants?  Nothing too big lately.  My H just build DS his big boy bed frame and the mattress is on order, so as soon as we get that in, we can move the crib and start working on putting the nursery together.

GTKY: What is the best movie you have seen recently? What new movie are you really wanting to see?  Um, I don't even remember the last new movie I've seen.  I really want to see "How To Train Your Dragon 2"

How were your runs/walks/exercise this past week? If you are still running, how is that going? I miss running. I was just getting back into the c25k when I got pregnant and lost all energy. I was up to running 5 minute stretches (huge for me) when we miscarried in November. Now I'm just walking about 4-6 nights a week with DS in the stroller.

Any exciting news? Rants? My boobs are normally huge, and now they are even more huge. I need new sports bras, but I'm so cheap.
GTKY: What is the best movie you have seen recently? What new movie are you really wanting to see? We just watched Pacific Rim, and I thought it was pretty good. So long. But I love me some Jax!! Ooooh he's so pretty. I have no idea what's out right now.. we're one of those pathetic couples that never has a date without DS.

Well I'm reporting back after being scared to run...

I ended up having to run at work to save a life, and I survived. After a few (and by few I mean many) swift kicks and body rolls showing her appreciation or lack there of for the commotion...I'm ok! Yay! There might be some more running in my future after all..

How were your runs/walks/exercise this past week? If you are still running, how is that going?  I have been doing an exercise video specifically for pregnancy since April.  I missed a few days this week due to going on vacation, but I was pretty active swimming around in the ocean and pool.  Is anyone riding a bike still?  My parents are going to the beach in two weeks and I plan on going with them.  I have been to this particular beach multiple times and it's even where I first learned to ride my bike with no training wheels.  We usually ride our bikes everywhere and I wondered if it would be safe for me to do so or if I should just stay behind.  I haven't ridden my bike in months (even before pregnancy).
Any exciting news? Rants? First shower this week!
GTKY: What is the best movie you have seen recently? What new movie are you really wanting to see? My husband wants to go see Tammy.  I think I might enjoy it too.

I really want to get back into regular exercising, but I'm struggling with being short of breath/faint/dizzy a lot lately. My heart races when I'm just sitting, so I'm worried about trying anything more strenuous than walking. I really miss running.

DH and I do often walk home from work, which is three miles, so at least there's that. 

Not to hijack, but if anyone has good recommendations for in-home pregnancy fitness DVDs, I'd love to know what those are. I'm thinking I may be able to manage those.

My rant is that there are so few good movies anymore! I really liked The Butler, and I agree with the PP re: Lone Survivor. Heartbreaking to know that that's a true story.
