Re: Healthy Mamas check-in week of 7/27
2. Walking. And vacuuming, if that counts. But my goal today is to get my bike set up on the trainer in the guest room so I can ride when LO is napping. I probably won't have time to ride today, but this week for sure.
3. I've finally found motivation to clean up my eating. I don't have far to go weight -wise but a long way to go fitness-wise. Sleep is definitely my biggest challenge.
4. I like reading Goodnight, goodnight Construction Site to DS. DH and I are both engineers so it's right up my alley.
ETA: 30 min on my bike, hurrah! And my lady parts did just fine for taking a year of the bike.
2. Walking and Post pregnancy workout on Fitness
blender. It's a free 17 minute video that is amazing and just rebuilds your core with really low impact movements.
3. I feel I'm doing better with my eating but my sweet tooth is still out of control!
4. I love Where the Wild Things Are. My boys love a variety of books
2. Primarily yoga. It's gotten really hot down here and I don't feel comfortable taking LO out in this heat any longer than needed.
3. I didn't get a lot of yoga in this week between fussy baby post 2 month shots and life throwing other curveballs in the mix... As I get closer to returning to work I keep wondering how I will get it in but we will figure something out... We always do
4. I love The Giving Tree. Waiting till LO is a little older before introducing it to him.
2. I joined the daily burn and stream it on my TV. I started with "true beginner." I was so sick up until 20 weeks and needless to say I wasn't working out at all for the majority of my pregnancy. Also, since my csection my core is shot. So I'm slowly building it back up again. I attempted a post partum yoga and laying on my stomach is just not possible yet.
3. I've been eating lots of greens which is severely affecting LO. Lots of gas. My LC confirmed that all the healthy foods can wreak havoc on the baby. I totally saw that today. I was pretty much verbally abused all day as I tried to burp him haha.
4. Pat the bunny!
I'm totally having a "I hate my body" day. I gained 50lbs and still have 20 more to go. I've got a lot of work to do with these last 20.
2. I've been doing yoga and walking. I've tried to throw in some jogging but I haven't made it very far. It's extremely hot here...I'm hoping I can go further in the fall.
3. I've also been better about cleaning up my eating. Lots of salads really make my LO gassy, so I've backed off of those, but my snacks have definitely been healthier.
4. I Love You Because You're You and Where the Wild Things Are.
2. Just started going to the gym... Tried a body pump class and yoga.
3. My challenge is to keep DS busy during the day to avoid chaos... We have had some successes and some failures.... Today we may attempt to tie dye everything and anything we can find
4. I love Goodnight Goodnight Construction site and classic fables and fairy tales.
If anyone needs me I'll be working out for the next 3 weeks straight until my first day of work.
Walking, squats and box step ups all while carrying LO in my arms. Some rowing
I really want to make it to some yoga in the park on Sunday's but we keep not going
Right now we love reading Barnyard Dance
Edited cause I can't spell
The other day, I started tracking calories just out of curiosity. Holy cow, I eat a lot.
@423ang I'm trying to make better food choices too. I'm afraid if I cut calories it will affect my supply.
ETA--I'm also not particularly worried about the weight at this point, either. It took awhile to gain it, it'll take awhile to lose it. I just don't want to keep it on forever.
It's hard to do anything other than walk when I'm home alone with DD all day (she's super clingy and only naps on top of me) but while DH was around this weekend I was able to do some pilates mat work Friday, kettle bell lifting and 30 minutes on my new elliptical Saturday, and yoga and 45 minutes on the elliptical today. It feels awesome to be active again! Now if I could just find a way to amuse DD so I can do this during the week, we'll be in business!
PS even though I tool it easy I am crazy sore already...apparently I no longer have ab muscles. Sigh.
Oh the ab exercises hurt at first for sure. It got easier over time for me and I hope it does for you as well! I am 10 weeks out and am able to do a lot more core exercises and hold planks for a longer period of time. Good luck!
