Re: Fit Mama Check-In : Nov 14th!
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? 5 workouts - 3 days of Barre3 & 2 runs. Eat as well as I can.
3: How was last week? Good, I met my goal for 5 workouts. Could've done better on the food - I ate a TON over the weekend and feeling very 'eh' this morning.
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? Finding it a little harder to bend down/get up sometimes. Sometimes when I get up too quickly after being seated I feel a pain in my belly almost like a cramp - it goes away after a minute but I've been trying to take that a little slower.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! Last week on the day I hit 20 weeks I officially made my first purchase for baby after finding the perfect nursery set - I bought his mobile and it's adorable! Every time I see it I smile because it's all starting to feel more real. I also ordered baby's crib! I did go with white if anyone saw my post on the nursery thread; found a pretty inexpensive one with great reviews - Walmart.com actually had a much better price than Amazon so I just decided to buy it and whenever it arrives I'll let DH assemble it.
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? Still haven't felt baby and I know with the anterior placenta it's normal BUT I really am hoping I can still start feeling him move around soon!
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? I love holidays because I get to spend time not only with our families but also with the dogs at the shelter I volunteer at. With my crazy work/school schedule this semester I haven't been able to volunteer as much as I'd like to but I'm going to make it over at least two days next week, one of them being Thanksgiving. Dogs still need to be walked and taken care of, even on holidays.
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? Would like to get 4 days in this week including yoga on Thursday (even though pregnancy yoga isn't much of a workout). Maybe add a long walk as well.
3: How was last week? Last week was good! Got all 4 workouts in and had loads of energy throughout all of them!
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? The gym I'm at has started turning the heat on, and it's SOOO hot in my gym, so may lower the intensity in the gym when doing cardio to cope with the heat.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! Got new shoes last week that I don't have to tie up (they're amazeballs!). This week counting pregnancy yoga as my treat.
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? None this week.
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? Going to get together with all my American friends for a "friendsgiving" on the thursday. Unfortunately I have to work that day, but luckily I'll be off by noon. Going to make a bourbon pecan pie for the dinner!! My friend who is a professional baker is making the turkey... so I cannot wait to get that turkey in my belly!!!
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? Make 4 workouts -
push for 5. Drink water!
3: How was last week? Really good! Despite a nap skipping DD a couple days, I got 5 workouts in!
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? Still no major bouncing around or my hip isn't happy. Been feeling really crampy near the end of my workouts... not sure if I'm pushing too hard, or if I'm not hydrated enough? So tried to take more breaks last week and make sure im not overdoing it.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! Carbs, all the carbs.
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? Guys. I'm almost at third trimester. Can't seem to wrap my head around it. Eeeek!
Had some not so fun MIL drama this weekend about her insisting I let her take DD which I'm not comfortable with at all because she is never around to spend time with us together so I don't think she knows her well enough. because of it all DH has invited her over for dinner tonight. We all are too good at avoiding elephants in the room... so we'll see if we avoid the topic all night, bring it up successfully, or just make a bigger mess of things. Andddd We'll see if she even shows up or makes another excuse. This weekend her plans to see us were cancelled because SHE missed her nap.
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? We spend thanksgiving with my fam and close family friends!! A few years ago my mom finally said we were done with obligatory family holiday travels on Thanksgiving when none of us enjoy our extended family. So ever since we've been traveling up the coast of Maine to a cute little lobstering town and spending the weekend! Things have had to change with DD around, so we no longer spend the night and go to the movies the next day, but it's still really enjoyable!
Anyone going black Friday shopping!? I can't decide if I want to or not.
@npaulie oh my gosh! I can imagine the heat being an issue!! I workout in my livingroom before I bump my house heat on for the day (I set it down to 60 overnight to save $$) and I still feel like I'm on fire. My DH comes home and tells me it's freezing in here but I'm comfortable! When I go out anywhere I have to wear a t-shirt or tank under a sweater because inevitably I overheat and need to strip down. And oh my head-that pie sounds to die for!
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? 5 workouts: 2 crossfit, 3 runs. Eat really well before our trip to Maine on Friday so I can have some treats while we are there! @kjd291 thanks for the recommendations last week on running in Portland!!
3: How was last week? Eh. Since I was traveling I missed a couple days, but made up some time this weekend. I got two solid crossfit workouts in, and 2 runs, one 5-mile, one 4-mile. So 4 workouts total.
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? Also finding it hard to bend. My bendable axis is shifting upwards so crossfit moves taking weights from the floor are more of a challenge to stay in correct form. I'm going to continue to modify. Luckily crossfit is super scalable and there is always an alternate move to do.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! Trying to be reeeeeaaaally good before Friday's trip with DH for our "babymoon" long weekend! Also purchased a few more maternity clothes online. My wardrobe has been stretch maternity pants, long tank and sweater, boots, in varied combinations, so I have stocked up on these essentials and branched out a little and got some jeans and a dress as well.
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? Feeling really great and motivated to be active, yet feeling unmotivated mentally at work lately. I work in a creative field and I DO NOT feel creative. I can't concentrate and I'm forgetting things. I am trying to be good about writing EVERYTHING down, but today I have to give a presentation and I just feel like I don't have all my wits about me lately, a bit in a fog when it comes to work. It's strange because usually the more I workout, the more clarity of mind I have.. but this week... it's just not there on demand. Come back, brain cells!!!! I need you!
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? I cannot believe it. I think with all the anxiety and hostility surrounding this election cycle, the build up to the holidays sort of got swallowed up. I'm hoping to channel the good spirit of the season and get in the mood, starting with our trip this weekend! For the holiday, we spend it with DH's family since they live in the same town as us. We do a sort of potluck, very casual gathering. Then since my family is about 3 hours away, we will head there on Saturday and celebrate with them on Sunday. So we get a double holiday, which I am really looking forward to! Not gonna lie, as a former vegetarian, turkey is not high on my list but STUFFING.. give me ALL the stuffing. I make apple and pumpkin pies.
@npaulie Friendsgivings are awesome!! No family drama, just good times and good food, what can be better! Great that you have an American group to celebrate with!
@kjd291 sorry to hear your MIL is causing drama...she sounds pretty high maintenance! I hope your dinner goes well tonight and is relatively stress free! And I love your out-of-town holiday plans! So many cute towns on the coast of Maine, that sounds delightful and relaxing! As for black friday, I've never gone out shopping that day - I've gotten some online deals, but I'm not sure if I could deal with the crowds!
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? Three workouts and some general cardio days.
3: How was last week? Good! Got to the gym, tried to eat as healthy as possible but went out to dinner a few nights with friends.
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? Challenge: asthma. Normally it's just allergy related but it's becoming exercise induced lately. Just trying to manage it and not lose focus or get frustrated.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! Going out with friends and having a sugary mocktail is enough for me. Oh, and I had a donut the other day which was delicious!
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? Rave: baby kicks! Question: has anyone else noticed more muscle soreness than normal after strength training workouts?
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? I host Thanksgiving every year and this year is extra special for me as I've often felt sad over the holidays during our TTC journey. This year for Thanksgiving we'll have a small group of close family and I intend to eat ALL the food.
@serenity13 Nice job on the shopping! We just ordered some things for the nursery as well. Pretty exciting and it's starting to feel so real!
@npaulie That pie sounds amazing! Enjoy your Friendsgiving. I lived abroad for a while and it was so nice to have a core group of American friends to gather with.
@kjd291 Your comment about MIL not knowing your DD well enough to take her alone completely resonates with me. It's an issue I'm going to have to deal with too, but with my own parents. They rarely visit and live a plane ride away, but I know they're going to to show up and demand I leave LO with them so I can go "enjoy myself". Um, no.
@babyisthenewblack I'm so glad that this usually difficult holiday will instead be able to be absolutely wonderful with baby on the way
--MIL has already cancelled for tonight. So me and my anti-conflict anxiety will just keep stressing till we finally see eachother and are forced to talk some of this through. Just trying to remember all i can do is be open and honest and if she reacts badly--that's all on her.
1: How far along are you? 24 weeks tomorrow!
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? I have a busy week ahead as my mother in law is moving and needs help with some things, so I'm just going to say to get in as many workouts as possible
3: How was last week? It was ok, I had a strong start to the week but ditched the gym on Thursday to have dinner with my girlfriends
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? I feel like I'm losing stamina. DH and I went away over the weekend and we did a lot of walking around and I surely felt it. My feet were hurting and my lower back was really bothering me. I actually had to request that we take a break a few times and sit on a bench. I know this is just temporary and due to my ever-changing body, but it's still a bummer that I can't keep up like I once could.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! I hit up the outlets over the weekend and Kate Spade was having a 70% off sale, so I bought myself a new purse
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? DH and I are going to do our registry this weekend and I'm super excited about it!
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? We are going to my sister in law's for the day as we have done the past few years. I'm most looking forward to the food and to a little tradition I have with my sister in laws of going through all the Black Friday circulars after dinner
@serenity13 I too have been finding bending/getting up difficult lately. I really thought this wouldn't become an issue until I was further along!
@kjd291 I most likely won't go to a physical store on Black Friday unless there is something I must have, but I certainly will be shopping online. A lot of the in-store deals at many stores are also valid online. For example, I always buy a pair of boots at Macys.com (19.99 a pair!). Sears.com always has good deals on tools for DH. The Body Shop usually does a crazy $150 value product bag for around $25 which makes a great gift too. Check out bfads.net, some of the deals are already on there!
@jenny0228 have a great time on your baby moon!!!
I don't want to not follow medical advice, but I got the impression she's operating from some old school opinion that pregnant women shouldn't be doing any exercise. I feel like she wasn't actually listening to what I was saying and in no way answered my question. What would you ladies do in this situation? She's with my midwife group so I don't really know how I can go about getting a second opinion.
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? 3 workouts
3: How was last week? Only got two workouts in. Last week kind of felt like one of those weeks that I was just stumbling my way to Friday. Hoping for a more consistent week!
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? I'm just slowwww.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! I'm getting a massage this week! Woohoo! I really don't like the prenatal massages as much as regular ones but I'll take what I can get at this point.
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? I really miss lifting heavy weights and running. (I stopped running when I found out that I was pregnant.) Those two things are the best ways for me to get out my anger and frustration. I can't wait to lift heavy again!
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? We are hosting Thanksgiving. We usually do, but I just realized it this morning that I need to get my act together. I'm not as excited as usual. I think it's just that I get tired so easily and even worn out doing household chores.

MON: Cardio/CrossFit (DONE)
TUES: Cycling Class
WED: CrossFit
THURS: Cardio/Weights
FRI: CrossFit
3: How was last week? I had a really rough week last week. Only got in 3 days of workouts which included 2 cardio workouts, 2 lifting workouts, and a 60min hike. I was dealing with 1st trimester nausea again along with terrible leg cramping that had me limping for 4 days! But today I felt SO MUCH BETTER and had one of the best workouts in over a week. HOORAY!!
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? Starting to also feel the challenge of bending over to tie my shoes, LOL. It's still doable, but more challenging.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! I indulged with some some chocolate marble cheesecake last night, yummmmm. We had a UFC party at the house on Saturday night and I bought a cheesecake platter for our guests. I managed to not touch it but then last night, while watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel, I got the urge to indulge, so I did
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? My Mom and Dad fly in from Boston on Wednesday, on a one-way ticket! WOOOOHOOOO!!! I can't wait to see them and have them here with us again!!!! Hubby and I have been making some changes in the houses to open up a room for the baby's nursery but we don't want to start buying furniture and decorating until my parents get here. I want my Mom to be involved. So I'm looking forward to that happening!!!
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? Mom & Dad will be here to celebrate their first Thanksgiving in California!!! We are cooking at the house, so far it's just me, Hubby, Mom & Dad, and my stepson (who will be visiting from the Marines) will be splitting the day between us and his Mom's house. It would be great if my stepdaughter could join us too, but she continues to be angry with us and refuses to talk to us. It was her birthday this past week and both Hubby and I made multiple attempts to reach out to her, and she ignored us. Her Mom ended up texting my Hubby to let him know she didn't want to see us for her birthday. So crazy. And sad.
If there is a reason you are high risk or have some issue arise then I know they will recommend a max weight limit. But otherwise all my midwife this time and doc last time said was : pregnancy is not a time to push yourself and increase intensity - it's a time to maintain. And: whatever you've been doing before pregnancy is fine to continue as long as it feels good.
like I had said in my check-in, I've been feeling crampy but it's also kinda low pressure at end of workouts & after. I haven't asked about it yet--but assumed as long as it's not a full BH contraction it's just normal but a sign I could take it down a notch and keep more hydrated.
no advice on how to deal with the situation though
And sorry to hear you you still haven't been able to connect with your Step Daughter. I can't imagine the disappointment and frustration-but keep remembering it's her, not you! Sounds like you and DH were and are doing everything possible to help her and she's just stuck in a negative place. Prayers she can come around eventually!
Efit to add: umm: yummm cheesecake. Good splurge, mama! It's what I've been craving all week.
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? 4 workouts, drink more water, eat healthy and portion control
3: How was last week? Only managed to get 2 workouts in, but it was better than the 1 workout from the week before!
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? As others have said bending is slowly but surely becoming a problem for me!
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! I went to a couple craft fairs this weekend and bought some cute baby things! It was so fun!
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms?
Rave- finally started feeling baby kicks this week!
Rant- I'm SO over the construction going on at my office, I've been having to switch computers every day and my whole office is packed in a box that I carry around from desk to desk. So inconvenient!
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing?
We will be doing Thanksgiving at MILs house with both out families and I am extremely excited because we will be doing the gender reveal with everyone on Thanksgiving day!!

As for black Friday shopping, I haven't gone in years and never in the town we live in but I'm planning on doing it this year! We have lots of expensive baby stuff to buy!
Me: 26 Hubs: 28
Married: 6/6/15
Baby Girl: 3/22/2017
I'm debating Black Friday shopping. I don't work until 1 that day so part of me wants to do some shopping off our registry for some of the more expensive items like the stroller/car seat, but I'd SO much rather shop online than go into a store! I may call BRU/Buy Buy Baby ahead to see if they're going to offer the same deals online as in store (or if they'll have greater discounts Cyber Monday).
Everyone sounds like they've got awesome goals for the week! I hope you're all able to accomplish everything you want and hope you all have a great week!
1: How far along are you? 22W 5D
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? Continue to monitor my diet. I did get a walk in both Saturday and Sunday mornings 1m-1.5m. That pleased me because as much as I tell myself there shouldn't be a problem getting that done any weekend....something always comes up.
3: How was last week? Last week I successfully worked out mwf morning and sat sun. I was however lax about my diet and lax about keeping my dietary log. Mostly bc when I ate like crap I didn't want to record it.
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? Drinking more water. I had a lot of bad cramping and backache.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments! I ate junk food left and right last week. So I guess that balanced out all my workouts.
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? Nope
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? Unfortunately my work schedule remains the same so nothing changes
So far this pregnancy I don't talk about it with people. I just vaguely say "I'm staying active" because I dont want to hear the comments.
last go around ALL my co-workers lectured me constantly about my fitness and attempts at clean eating... I worked with 6-7 women in their 50's who had all had babies and all gained 50-70lbs with their pregnancies because they were back in the day when it was advised to do nothing and eat whatever.
I had one close friend who was very concerned about my workouts and made me quite upset with her comments because she was genuinely concerned about my baby and thought she was endangering her. So hurtful and infuriating when they are ppl close to you whose opinions usually matter to you.
All that being said--it sounds as though you've already told your dad everything I said to those pol, and would say now : You've discussed it with your doctor, and you're listening to your body. Nothing else needed. I'd try and be as honest as possible and tell him you understand his concern but to please not bring it up again.
@npaulie I'm sorry you're dealing with this from your mid-wife! You want to be able to trust your health care provider, that's really throwing a wrench in, but you know yourself and your body best. Are there other providers in the same office that you can see, or is there only one? In the practice I go to, I have appointments with a few different doctors.
@triwellnessgirl so sorry to hear your step-daughter has still not come around. I hope when the baby arrives she will change her mind. It may be that she has held out for so long she doesn't know how to start to fix the situation. I hope that she can be part of your baby's life with you and your husband.
And YAY for your parents moving close to you! That is going to be so great.
1: How far along are you? 24w+2d
2: What are your goals for the week ahead? 20 miles
3: How was last week? Eh. 15.25 miles in 4 workouts. Wasn't feeling it last week. I've always been motivated to workout by the way I feel when I don't workout, but last week I was feeling pretty great on days when I wasn't working out and so I just went with it and allowed myself to enjoy other things.
4: Discovered any new challenges or needed modifications? Crampy legs the day after working out. I know, I know.. more water! Tougher to bend over.
5: How are/have you treated your self? Celebrate your body and its accomplishments!I drank half of a light craft beer on Sunday and it. was. GLORIOUS. I'm pretty sure DH got sick of me saying how amazing it was! He just kept laughing at the enormous smile on my face for like 10 mins straight.
6: Questions, Concerns, Rants, Raves, Randoms? I'm just over here raving that the election is over!
7: GTKY: Next week is already Thanksgiving!? What are your plans? Things you're looking forward to doing or people you will be seeing? We are taking my parents, in laws, and all baby's aunts and uncles to a 3D boutique next Wednesday night to see him in action and going to dinner afterwards. It will be great to see LO AND all of their faces since this kind of technology didn't exist when they had LOs. I'm running a Turkey Trot Thursday AM and then we have dinner later that day with DH's family. My family is having dinner Friday PM. DH, my brother in law and his gf, and I are going to the Penn State vs Michigan State that Saturday. WE ARE!
I've been going through some of this as well. My mom has been supportive of my Crossfitting,however this past weekend I sent her a photo of me doing a Crossfit charity event lifting a barbell and she freaked. It was 35 lbs so I tried explaining that it was much less than what I normally do, but I don't know if it worked. For me it's really not worth the effort to try to explain myself or the health benefits. I got a little snippy about it and said I wouldn't be sending anymore pictures of me working out.
I'm actually high risk but before I got pregnant I asked my high risk doctor specifically about Crossfit and she was fine with it as long as I decreased weight and did modifications. I'm just grateful for my Crossfit buddies who have a similar mindset and don't judge me. We've had a lot of pregnant women at our Crossfit gym and they always seem to bounce back quickly. I'm hoping the same will happen for me!

@serenity13 so sorry about the situation. It stinks when others judge your decisions and make you feel as if you are endangering your baby. I made it clear at the start of my pregnancy that unsolicited advise from anyone other than my medical team, my hubby, and my mom was not welcomed, LOL. I got some comments about my workouts at the start of my pregnancy, primarily from other women who had gained a lot of weight with their pregnancies (didn't exercise or watch what they ate) but that has stopped, thank goodness. I post my workouts regularly on social media, and I also share the good with the bad. I'm honest that some days suck and I need to do a ton of modifications, while other days are fantastic! People keep commenting that I look so fit and healthy, and my hubby has often commented to the naysayers who tell me to "take it easy" that these current workouts are me "taking it easy" LOL... anyhow, I hope your family will start to better understand and support your decisions. You're doing great!!
@bradleerick CONGRATS on your record mileage month last month... YOU.ARE.AWESOME!!! Way to go, Girl!!
Spoke with a friend of mine whose a certified trainer, has had a kid, and is super body conscious. She suggested that if it continues to see my GP (which the pressure has been gone the last day or so) for second opinion, but to try a support belt in the mean time and to do exercises seated (i.e. Use leg press machine instead of vertical squats.
Hope everyone is having a kick @$$ week!!

@npaulie hope the pressure continues to subside! Sounds like your friend gave you some great advice with the support belt, hopefully that helps!
@triwellnessgirl YES I've been getting those "take it easy" comments too & feel like I already am! With my run on Mon for example I would've gone double the distance if I wasn't pregnant, so I def was taking it easy in my opinion.
Thanks for all the encouragement! You're doing so amazing, I'm definitely inspired by you!!!
After my workout this morning I was sitting in a chair outside the men's locker room waiting for Hubby. A lady that I see at the club often (and happen to like) noticed me and said, "Oh my goodness!! I can't believe you're still working out."
I responded, "Well why wouldn't I be? I've been working out for 10 years, why would I stop now?" :::with a smile:::
re--pressure and cramping covo: yesterday was the first day I chose not to stick with my usual high level of intensity pre preggo workout video - I backed off and went with a more moderate workout choice instead of the advanced ((still not quite ready for the easy prenatal video level)) but I didn't have any crampy feelings or pressure for the day like I'd been having the past weeks---so I think its officially time to say goodbye to my hard core workout and embrace an easier route for tri 3.
How is it Thursday already? I'm 2 crossfit workouts in, and will get in my third tonight since I don't want to run in the rain! Then a run tomorrow and a run this weekend in Maine! Yay! How's everyone doing?
Went to the gym yesterday and did weight machines, felt good. Haven't been doing cardio this week because I just haven't felt like it. But been trying to take the dog on walks instead. I have prenatal yoga tonight, so that'll be workout #3 this evening (even though the last prenatal yoga class I did wasn't REALLY a workout, but screw it I'm counting it today).
Thank goodness it's Thursday already! I don't know how everyone else feels but I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving next week. I can't wait to have a bit of a break!
So far I have done 2 crossfit workouts, although I lack the ability to remember what to do. Last night we had a wod with 7 rounds and I got it stuck in my head that it 10. Fortunately the person working out next to me had an intervention and asked how many rounds I had done (I had done 7).... to which I responded... well I'm guess I'm done then! I can't remember anything!
Today I'm getting a massage and I'm sooo looking forward to it!
