Moving my growing body

I'm not usually this lazy. Usually, I like to at least walk the doggies a 3x a week or so but I have no motivation!! I didn't suffer from m/s and so my weight slowly rose. I started around 133-135 lbs and am now at 145. I'm 5'2 and have 23 weeks to go--do I need to get this weight under control? I feel like the hunger is just about to hit.

Ugh. I sluggishly put on the tennis shoes today and I forced myself to get 30 minutes in.

What's your motivation to get moving? TIA!

    I was worried at my 16 week appointment but my dr said I was right on the money for weight gain.  I'm 5'8" and started out around 155, I think I'm up to 165ish now.  I would say you're probably fine.  If your doctor isn't worried then you shouldn't be either.  Like you I had no m/s but I was on bedrest for the first tri due to a SCH bleed so I felt like there was nothing I could do.  Now I'm just lazy and refuse to go out in the heat!

    Just think about "if I gain 1 pound a week" - will you be happy? If you gain 1 pound a week for the next 23 weeks you'll have gained a total of 33 pounds.

    I didn't exercise much during the first trimester, I was too tired!  But now I'm trying to get out and do more - prenatal yoga, walking, and I have a prenatal exercise video.  Just think about this "Healthy mama, healthy baby".  I'm not so worried about the scale (I gained 40 pounds with DD), but more about feeling healthy and having energy.

    Okay, but is this realistic in the coming 23 weeks? Just one pound a week? I'm a FTM, so I have no idea.

    And, Thanks, PP. I'm not going to get caught up in the scale. Just the healthy mama, healthy baby mentality. But right now, this mama wants to sit on the couch. ;) I'll just make myself get up and stop whining.
