Okay ladies! Lots if you wanted a check in, so why not start it now. As this is the inaugural checkin thread please comment things you'd like to see, not see, if Wednesday suits you, and whatever else you salty hoes have to say.
I know a lot of you have not yet been cleared to workout, and those who are have likely been told to ease into it. So, let's ease into it.
1. How are you trying to be healthier this week?
2. What are you health/fitness goal(s) for the week?
3. GTKY: what's your favorite healthy snack?

Re: Health and fitness check in 7/9
2. My goals for this week are to log all of my food and to go for a walk on any day that I have help with the kids.
3. Banana and peanut butter!
I'm not cleared to do much yet, but my OB said to walk as much as I want so that's what we're doing. DH and I took LO to the mall yesterday and walked about 2 miles with her in the stroller. I hope we can do a nice walk outside today since it's a little cooler than it has been.
Favorite healthy snack right now is fresh watermelon!
2. I am doing a 30 day buns, guns, and abs challenge. It takes about 10 minutes or less and it's seriously helped me start rebuilding my an strength. I can finally sit up in bed without using my arms! I challenged this girl of FB (she drives me crazy and I'd hate to lose to her) to help keep me accountable.
3. Favorite snack: cut up apples with pb2, coconut flakes, and a few chocolate chips on top. So yummy and feels like a real dessert!
1. How are you trying to be healthier this week?
I've been trying to eat well and make sure I get some amount of walking and movement in. My toddler 'helps' with this as we can't make it through a day with at least some walk or chasing after her
2. What are you health/fitness goal(s) for the week?
I used to use the app Lose It for tracking food and exercise. I'd like to get back into that.
3. GTKY: what's your favorite healthy snack?
Berries!
2. Same as above
3. Fruit!
1. How are you trying to be healthier this week? Watching what I eat. I know if I can control the cravings and avoid convenience food I will make some progress. Its easier said than done with the sleep deprivation, toddler and newborn though!
2. What are you health/fitness goal(s) for the week? Log my food in MFP daily.
3. GTKY: what's your favorite healthy snack? Trail mix - salty, sweet and filling.
1. How are you trying to be healthier this week?
Trying to start exercising, though I'm only 3.5weeks pp. I walked 2 miles minday and Tuesday, and also did 10 minutes of light weights yesterday. Felt great! Had a rough night last night so it will be hard to motivate today.
2. What are you health/fitness goal(s) for the week?
Eat healthier. We've been mostly paleo this week, so that's good!
3. GTKY: what's your favorite healthy snack?
Smoothie, baby carrots, nuts
1. Goal this week is to take better care of myself, namely by making sure I'm eating and drinking enough water. I have been bad about this!
2. My goal is to drink a full glass of water every time I nurse and/or pump along with a snack.
3. I love apples and pb, kind bars, popcorn, fruit, yogurt and granola. Mm.
2 - My goal is to walk a little further every time I . Walking is I can do right now, and I find that it hurts if I do too much even at 3w pp, so I'm trying to build some endurance/strength back up.
3 - Smoothies! 1/2 frozen banana, ff yogurt, a little milk, pb & frozen fruit
2. What are you health/fitness goal(s) for the week? I'm only 4 weeks PP, so no exercise yet, but trying to drink more water and be more active around the house. I'd love to be able to go on walks, but there's no way in this heat. Also, I'm looking into ordering T25...I have Insanity and enjoy it, but with trying to work out between DD's naps, I think T25 might be more doable.
3. GTKY: what's your favorite healthy snack? Green apples and peanut butter (or nutella)
Im focusing on abdominal exercises that encourage the transverse abs to grow back together. That and cardio will be my main focus with some arms and legs thrown in for good measure. I'm hoping to get cleared for real exercise at my PP checkup on Monday!
I love almonds and grapes! Also, whole grain crackers with cheese!
2. Plan to go on 3-45 min walks with LO and our dog. And I joined the mfp group.
3. Special K red berries + choc, with added strawberries and whole milk.
2. To walk every other day or so. Also always have water on hand so I know I get enough. Also allowing myself to sit and just be. I'm only 2 weeks pp, so I know I shouldn't try running or anything crazy. I read a lot of blogs while pregnant on running, and several said their biggest regret was that they ran too soon after giving birth.
3. Definitely fruit, right now it's watermelon and fresh from the tree peaches!
2. I'm starting to go for a walk every other day for at least 45 mins. We love right by a canal, so the scenery makes it nice and relaxing. I'm not counting the mall etc, those walks are extra!
3. PB & apples here too!!
