One of my goals with this pregnancy is to stay healthy and active. As I am planning a home birth, I want to be in my best pregnancy-shape possible. I thought it would be great to do a weekly check in for anyone wanting some accountability or general motivation/tips.
My goal this last week has been to indulge only once a day (holidays, yo) and to stay on top of my water intake. My goal is 120 oz a day. So far I really have been doing well. I start back at the gym tomorrow (wasn't going because I THOUGHT I was sick, and then it was the holiday.) I will do elliptical and weights. What is your plan?

As far as exercise goes, I plan on doing some light cardio and strength training at least a few times a week.

This is a great idea! I'm trying to eat healthier and get as much walking in as I can. I'm usually a runner, but it just makes me nervous right now. I've been having a lot of dizzy spells and hot flashes, so maybe I'll feel better about running if/when that goes a way.
So far, eating healthier has been easier for me. All food sounds nasty to me, so I just try to eat as much healthy stuff as I can. When everything tastes bad, you might as well eat healthy, right?
Also, I had such bad Round ligament pain last time as opposed to my first time, I could hardly walk. I've been going to the gym 3-4x a week since May and I will continue that. I actually just got back from the gym and hour ago I REFUSE to be in the same place as last time!!!

Since I'm not sick yet, I'm focusing on eating healthy now. Last time the only way I kept the nausea away way was snacking on carbs through out the day...which did not help my weight!
My goal is to eat fruits and veggies everyday and to limit sugar/carbs. As for exercise I plan to work out 2-3 times a week. I'm going to get a Fitbit for Christmas so I monitor my heart rate and keep it below 165.
I look forward to hearing from everyone each week. Good luck ladies!

I own a yoga mat, two 10lb free weights, and my husband has a rowing machine. Is rowing ok to do while pregnant?
