    1. I'd like to add more veggies to my meals. I love veggies but sometimes I don't eat enough of them!

    2. My goal for the week is to workout at least 6 days this week.

    3. The only challenge I'm having is I feel winded, so I'm not doing the workouts at the pace I'd like to, but I'm trying to be kind to myself.

    4. I have cut out a lot of processed sugar since I have a huge sweet tooth, and I feel great!

    5. I love cheetahs...and otters. :3

    Kegels are the bomb diggity!

  • 1 - Be very judicious about refined sugar. Keep caffeine < 40mg.
    2 - Today - group wo, tues - yoga, wed - elyptical, thurs - swim, fri - yoga + abs
    3 - Not really, other than the blurg
    4 - Pretty darn good! I only missed wednesday but it was because I had to work offsite. I had a very active weekend though and ate decently.
    5 - zoos make me a little sad actually. the animals never look very healthy. That said, MIL got us a season pass this year so I'll go check out the elephants
    6 - doing them right now

  • 1&2 work out 5-6 days this week and get back into a good dinner cooking routine... Cut down on the bread!

    3- just the every day struggle to get up and move. Teaching less classes this week so I will have to work out even when I'm not forced to. 

    4- I did awesome last week. 6 work outs and a lot of fresh veggies.

    5- that's hard. I like the giraffes a lot 


  • What is your health/nutrition goal for the week?
    We eat pretty clean, so just to keep that up and not give in to any cravings for carbs. Mmmmm carbs!

    What is your fitness goal for the week?
    I worked out 5 days last week, which was my goal. Aiming for the same this week, adding in classes this week instead of just doing my own thing

    Are there any challenges you're facing this week?
    Nothing major

    How did you do with your goals last week?
    Made it to the gym 5 days! Meet my goal

    GTKY:  What is your favorite animal at the zoo?
    I like the Tigers :-)

    Started Kegels the day I found out I was preggo! Will check out the article :-)

  • What is your health/nutrition goal for the week? Same as always, 4-5 servings of both fruits and veggies (so 8-10 total, which is the recommendation for people w/ high blood pressure like me), and keeping my sugar intake under control, never my strong suit

    What is your fitness goal for the week? 
    Lol, I ordered new exercise videos before I even called my doctor. I love videos, so I was psyched to have a whole new type to get. So I'll try those and also do some outdoor walks and/or treadmill time.

    Are there any challenges you're facing this week? My back is killing me, so I'm hoping to get a handle on that with some yoga and ab work. 

    How did you do with your goals last week? Last week I barely worked out.  I was thought all the nausea and fatigue were due to an oncoming flu, so didn't push myself to do it.

    GTKY:  What is your favorite animal at the zoo? 
    Goats! Not really a zoo animal. But I like goats, they are so funny.

  • What is your health/nutrition goal for the week?
    Make all of my meals and snacks at home, and not give in to fast food. Also maybe NOT have a milkshake this week.....that's what I've been craving!

    What is your fitness goal for the week?
    Go on at least 2 walks

    Are there any challenges you're facing this week?
    Just trying to be active at all, I've been so tired

    How did you do with your goals last week?
    I didn't have any...I've been so exhausted!

    GTKY:  What is your favorite animal at the zoo?
    Hmmm that's a hard one. We have SO many awesome animals at the Oregon Zoo. Tigers, Penguins, Elephants

  • Hello, all! :)

    What is your health/nutrition goal for the week?
    Eat servings of fruits and vegetables every day, as well as get in my calcium. Cutting back on processed food and sugar.

    What is your fitness goal for the week?
    I actually feel good, but will keep any plans tentative. Hoping for gym time today and Wednesday (probably just the elliptical), and then volleyball Thursday (only have 3 weeks left for the season, so I am just being careful). Our treadmill arrives tomorrow, so I'll be adding that in tomorrow and this weekend!

    Are there any challenges you're facing this week? Nothing so far, just hoping to get some workouts in since I have been feeling good. Not planning out my workday meals as well as I could.

    How did you do with your goals last week? Can't remember if I set any, but was also out of town Sunday-Tuesday. I did manage to walk almost 3 miles on Monday, so that helped! I also go to the gym Wednesday and had volleyball Thursday.

    GTKY:  What is your favorite animal at the zoo? I love zoos! I used to love Koalas, ha. I also love the otters, Bison and giraffes.

  • What is your health/nutrition goal for the week? To remain focused on the weekend! 
    I really need to recommit on the weekends. I was good all week and then splurged on Saturday and Sunday with eating crap and not working out!

    What is your fitness goal for the week?
    6 days this week 

    Are there any challenges you're facing this week?
    HUNGER!! I'm pretty much starving all the time. And the food that sounds good is not the healthy kind. 

    How did you do with your goals last week?
    Like I said above, pretty well until Saturday... then I had some splurges and didn't work out. Hoping to make better choices this weekend.

    GTKY:  What is your favorite animal at the zoo?
    penguins!

  • What is your health/nutrition goal for the week? Eat. I'm just not hungry. And then I get nauseous. Common for me in first tri, but it's not a good example for my toddler.

    What is your fitness goal for the week? More than one day of barre! I walk a lot with the kids but we had a big snow storm this weekend so outdoors isn't so walkable.

    Are there any challenges you're facing this week? Me time! DH is gone 12+ hours a day through May so it's a nightmare to find gym or barre time.

    How did you do with your goals last week? Not great with eating or exercise, but not terrible.

    GTKY:  What is your favorite animal at the zoo? The Denver zoo has a baby gorilla. SO cute. I also love the orangutans, they put on a show!
