GTYK: What was your moment while working out where you realized you were pregnant?

gutsysneakers · February 2014

Week: 24 weeks

Activity Log:

Sunday: 1 hour body pump; 1 mile walk

Rants/Raves: I was so sick this week and barely got to work let alone the gym. Finally felt better on Sunday and went to the gym. Excited to get back with it this week.

Goals for this week: Work out 5x this week

GTYK: What was your moment while working out where you realized you were pregnant? I obviously knew I was pregnant prior to this, but I was in body pump about two weeks ago (think bar with weights) and doing clean and presses, rows, and dead lifts - the bar kept hitting my belly! I just kept thinking "oh geez, this is really happening"!

ksyknelvr73 · February 2014

I haven't participated in this up to this point, but I guess I'll start now...especially b/c I really need some help with staying accountable.

Week: 23 weeks

Activity Log: Over the last week, I did some strength training 3 days (arms, legs) and then I did cardio twice - yesterday we walked a ton throughout our neighborhood b/c the weather was so nice - probably 2 miles or so.

Rants/Raves: Well, we ended up being totally snowed in 2.5 days last week so I was forced to work from home and really was unable to find time to exercise. I ate way too much junk food during that time too since there was nothing else to do.

Goals for this week: Fit in my exercise DVD's at least 3 times, I would love to walk this weekend but I think we are supposed to have rain. Either way, I have DVD's with cardio also that I can do.

GTYK: What was your moment while working out where you realized you were pregnant? I think the worst for me at this point is when I do walk - I just have lots of pressure and some pain (sciatic) and it really kicks in for me when walking.

Week: 27 wks

Activity Log: Monday - Ran 3.5 miles, elliptical for 10 min

Thursday - Ran 3.5 miles, elliptical for 10 min, abs

Saturday - Ran 3.5 miles, biked for 3 miles, abs

Rants/Raves: Rants: Belly is starting to get bigger and more uncomfortable, Raves: Feeling great otherwise and have lots of energy. My husband and I went furniture shopping yesterday and he pooped out way before I did and had to take a nap when we got home.

Goals for this week: Continue working out and try to get in 4x this week.

GTYK: What was your moment while working out where you realized you were pregnant? When I felt like I had to constantly pee when I was running, even though I had just gone to the bathroom 2 minutes ago. Also if my shoe gets untied while running, bending over to tie it is not as easy as it used to be.

christieep · February 2014

Week: 25

Activity Log: Nothing yet this week, but will be on the elliptical tonight

Rants/Raves: RAVE: I think I convinced DH that we need a new elliptical!! I'm hoping to order tonight!!! Rant: our current elliptical has had so many new parts and time put into it and it just keeps failing

Goals for this week: Working out at least 4 days

GTKY: What was your moment while working out where you realized you were pregnant? When I had to start borrowing DH's shirts to wear for workouts

Miggg · February 2014

Week: 27

Activity Log:

Monday: Rest

Tuesday: Bodyworks Class (light weights)

Wednesday: Cardio - 45 min elliptical

Thursday: Bodyworks Class (light weights)

Friday: Cardio - 45 min elliptical

Saturday: Rest

Sunday: Cardio - 45 min elliptical

Rants/Raves: I miss running so much. Every time I see a runner in the gym or outside I seethe with jealousy. I'm grateful that I can at least do the elliptical to keep up some cardio but it's just not the same.

ETA: I had to give up running a few weeks ago due to intense back and pelvic pain. A support band helps but not enough for the impact of even an easy jog.

Goals for this week: Make up for all the crap I ate yesterday and eat healthy! It's hard enough to get up the motivation to work out without a food hangover.

GTKY: What was your moment while working out where you realized you were pregnant? When I looked in the mirror during class and realized that I had a large belly button sweat stain on my shirt. It popped out so that happens every time I work out now. Sexy.

Rave - This is my husband's last week at his crappy job with crappy hours. I will finally get to spend time with him! Yay!

Goals for this week: Just to make it to the gym a couple of times with everything else that is going on. I went today so that was a good start.

GTYK: What was your moment while working out where you realized you were pregnant? Not really while working out, but when I had to start really paying attention to what clothes I packed in my gym bag so I wouldn't end up with my huge stomach hanging out from under a shirt.

Wed: 40 min walk
Fri: 30 min strength
Sun: 20 min bootcamp video(mod)

Rants/raves: happy I did something 5 days and feeling pretty good energy wise as a result. Feel like I'm getting back on track after the holidays and vacation. Eating out less, so that's helping too.

It's going to be cold all week...too cold for a walk outside or to use the treadmill in the garage.

Goals: 5 days again this week and keep focusing on healthier eating.

I was lifting light weights the other days and the weights kept hitting my belly. Also, I stopped running months ago bc of pelvic discomfort... It basically felt like my vagina was going to fall out. Lol

BeesKnees181 · February 2014

Week: 22 weeks

Activity Log:

Monday: Tracy Anderson dvd (30 minutes)

Wednesday: 1 hour prenatal yoga and tai chi

Saturday: 5 mile cross country ski

Rants/Raves: Rave - I did it! I worked out 3X in one week!

Goals for this week: Keep it up and add more walking on lunch breaks since air quality has been good lately.

GTYK: What was your moment while working out where you realized you were pregnant? Mile 3 1/2 of my cross country ski excursion...hips and lower back really started to hurt me. I went slow and kept stopping and stretching my back/ I pushed through even though hubby told me to wait and he would bring the truck around. I can tell my joints and muscles are doing weird things these days...even cleaning the house makes me feel like I am 300 years old.
