Re: Healthy Living Check In 07/12
What is your goal for the week? 3 spin classes this week!
Are there any obstacles to reaching your goal? technically no, my spin bike is at home and I have the Peloton app... in my mind, the obstacle is time.
How are you doing in terms of staying on track? I've started doing classes again but need to be more consistent/on a schedule
Anything you want to celebrate this week? I've been eating lots of fruits and veggies recently!
Anything else you want to share?
Questions?
My ultimate beyond pregnancy goal is to be back to my pre preg weight before DD1.
My pregnancy goal is to keep working out every day throughout this pregnancy and to hopefully end the pregnancy at the same weight I ended it with DD1.
What is your goal for the week?
I work every morning before the girls get up, so my goal is to continue with that as well as to not give in to any junk food cravings and to keep eating healthy.
Are there any obstacles to reaching your goal?
Nothing other than myself. The nausea isn't bad enough to really affect me yet so I have no excuses.
How are you doing in terms of staying on track?
Really well! I haven't missed a day of working out since I started back up almost 9 months ago. It's more the food I want to keep an eye on. I gained 26lbs total in each of my pregnancies so I'm hoping to gain less this time around since I have a few extra lbs to spare that are still hanging around from my losses:/
Anything you want to celebrate this week?
So far I'm doing well with my food choices. I hope to keep that up!
Anything else you want to share?
Nothing today:)
Questions?
Nope!
What is your goal for the week? I’m not up to exercise since I’m not really eating, but I’d like to take evening walks
Anything else you want to share? That’s all I got, pretty small goal, so let’s hope I can stick to it
What is your goal for the week? Movement every day.
Are there any obstacles to reaching your goal? Just time, work, feeling tired
How are you doing in terms of staying on track? Pretty well! I close my rings on my Apple Watch most days and do a good job getting movement in every day.
Anything you want to celebrate this week?
I cleaned my office and put down a yoga mat so I’m excited to do some stretches and quick sun salutations during my work day.
Anything else? I have a history of bulimia and disordered eating so my relationship with my body has often been fraught. That said, I tend to be very kind to myself in pregnancy and I try to really appreciate everything my body is doing to keep me and baby safe and healthy. Just need to maintain that gratitude and let it guide me in the days I feel like a whale.
What is you ultimate goal (it can be for pregnancy and beyond...or both:)? Just to stay active. I did personal training all through my last pregnancy, but quit during the pandemic. I have barely worked out since then.
What is your goal for the week? Row 20 minutes a day
Are there any obstacles to reaching your goal? Laziness and that is has been over 100 degrees here. We usually hike at least one day a week but it is just impossible right now with the heat. It has been like this for a month
How are you doing in terms of staying on track? I got a Garmin watch for my bday, so that is helping keep me motivated.
Anything you want to celebrate this week? Not yet
Anything else you want to share? nope
Questions? nope
@rachelredhead I have anorexia and really struggled through my last pregnancy. I wish the scale wasn't such a big part of my disorder. For me it's the only thing that keeps it in check and stops me from relapsing. I'm hoping that changes at some point in the future:/
To remain active throughout my pregnancy.
What is your goal for the week?
To workout for 30 minutes 5 times this week
Are there any obstacles to reaching your goal?
I normally run so the weather in CT is really getting in the way of that. Thunderstorms and rain all week =(
How are you doing in terms of staying on track?
I've been very tired and have a ton to do for work and the house we're renovating, so it's been hard to get myself working out, but I have hope for this week!
Anything you want to celebrate this week?
I went for a 2.5 mile run yesterday even though I really really didn't want to.
Anything else you want to share?
Just that my boobs are killing me lol I'd gladly take any really supportive sports bra reccomendations
Questions?
None!
To have a healthy pregnancy, and continue my weekly workout routine as usual (modifying as necessary).
To make it to the gym every morning (M-F) by 5:15am.
The exhaustion is real and making it harder to get out of bed when my alarm goes off. Some mild nausea is also setting in.
Pretty well. I've still made it to the gym every morning, despite not wanting to get out of bed. My eating habits could use some work though, I feel like I'm over doing it on the sweets lately.
I'm able to squat with weights again, since my bike accident. I'm finally getting more range of motion back in my knee.
Questions?
What is you ultimate goal (it can be for pregnancy and beyond...or both:)? Be active and eat well
What is your goal for the week? Go for a walk every day.
Are there any obstacles to reaching your goal? The weather has not been cooperating.
How are you doing in terms of staying on track? I did well last week, but the weather has not been fantastic. Hopefully my daughter and I can get outside early tomorrow.

Questions?
What is you ultimate goal (it can be for pregnancy and beyond...or both:)?
To only gain a healthy amount of weight during pregnancy. My weight went up and down and then back up again during COVID. I would like to get to a more consistent healthy weight after pregnancy.
What is your goal for the week?
To workout at crossfit or my home gym 4+ days
Are there any obstacles to reaching your goal?
Time. The only time I can workout is evenings and then other things come up and I'll miss my chance.
How are you doing in terms of staying on track?
I've been pretty good about my diet since finding out I'm pregnant. I think knowing that the nutrients are important for pregnancy and wanting to reduce my risk of gestational diabetes has really kept me on track.
Anything you want to celebrate this week?
Nope
Anything else you want to share?
It is so hard not to tell people I workout with that I'm pregnant. I feel like I'm working out differently and I feel like people around me notice. A crossfit friend was trying to get me to sign up for a heavy lifting event in August. I felt so bad just saying no without giving much explanation.
Questions?
None right now.
@Sarah0335 oh thank you!! that's exactly what's happening to me right now lol FX the front-close is the solution to my big boob problems
I’m a psychologist and with patients all day so I have to find stuff quick in between sessions (no breaks in the day usually except for an hour lunch break)
What is you ultimate goal (it can be for pregnancy and beyond...or both:)? To make healthy food and physical activity choices during this pregnancy, and postpartum. To limit weight gain to an appropriate amount.
What is your goal for the week? Keep track to make sure I’m eating throughout the day (I’m a meal skipper), reach my Fitbit steps each day, and fit in some fun physical activity with my daughter after work and on weekends.
Are there any obstacles to reaching your goal? Time. It’s only my daughter and myself most of the time, and by the time I get home from work with her, I’m so tired. We run a small business, and I do the bookwork in the evenings. Mornings seem to be the best time to work out - I just need to get to bed at a decent time!
How are you doing in terms of staying on track?
So far, so good. When I track what I eat, I tend to eat more consistently, and I’ve been hitting my step goal each day.
Anything you want to celebrate this week? Making it to 6 weeks pregnant - yay!
