5. Rants, Raves, Questions, Randoms...
Totally unrelated to anything but I just found out my grandfather passed away last night. My dad's dad, who is an only child and his wife has pancreatic cancer so he has a LOT on his plate to say the least. I told him I wanted to come over and help him today but he said to wait, that he didn't need my help yet. So frustrating because I just want to be there for him but I don't want to force myself if he doesn't want me there.
6. GTKY: What is your favorite healthy snack food?
I made some sweetened pumpkin puree and it's so good with yogurt and maple granola.

6. GTKY: What is your favorite healthy snack food? I love yogurt - normally I can't handle dairy, but my body has been craving it during this pregnancy and I've been eating it nonstop. It makes me happy that this little munchkin is letting me eat yogurt again!

2. How was last week? Meh, DD got sick on Thursday then I did on Friday. Worked out everyday but Wednesday and Friday...but nutrition was not great at all. I just want junk!

5. Rants, Raves, Questions, Randoms... Are there restrictions on what we can carry in our first trimester? My SIL said I'm not supposed to carry over 25 lb but I'm super active and have a 30 lb kettle bell... Sounded weird but I wasn't going to argue

6. GTKY: What is your favorite healthy snack food? I love salads and apples (honey crisp) with peanut butter. MmMmm

@Jenshoes: I think the weight restrictions are basically anything that causes you to strain. I have been super careful on my weights, I was using 8-10-15s for my weights and I have stopped using the 15s but I think that is just paranoia causing me to do that. If you don't strain I think it would be ok.

Jens_Hoes · October 2016

@mamasmurf12 thank you!

vrj0522 · October 2016

@Jenshoes - The biggest concern with weights during pregnancy is that because ligaments are looser, that you might end up hurting yourself or pulling a muscle. If you feel comfortable with it, you should be fine although you might want to reduce weight as your belly gets bigger because you lose the core strength that helps with lifting weights. I normally have found that I don't need to make adjustments until I get to 3rd tri, except if it's boot camp or circuit training because higher weights will get me out of breath more easily.

Jens_Hoes · October 2016

@vrj0522 That makes sense... I'm a pretty active person, so it is not out of the ordinary to lift that weight. she made it seem like I would spontaneously give myself a miscarriage if I lifted more than 25 pounds.

vrj0522 · October 2016

@Jenshoes - that's one of those old wives tales that's been around forever and is not true. My mom is the same way and freaks out if she sees me lifting anything, even though I do weights and often find myself carrying my two kids at the same time who are a combined 65 lbs.
