Friday Fitness Check In 8.3

Who's still on the workout grind this week?

What are you doing? Any modifications?

How's the eating going?

    Good morning, still going over here!  
    I'm running -  working on being better about rest days so less mileage than pre-pregnancy but still keeping it above 40mpw.  Trying to keep in a couple weight and core days a week. The only modification so far has been not signing up for a marathon and ramping up training.  
    Eating?  If it's a carb or a fruit, we're good!  I'm making sure to get enough protein but I'm not loving it.

    @thechickendance 40 mpw?! Impressive!!

    I’m still running as well. Heading into second tri, I’ve been able to bring my speed and distance back up to “normal”, but that’s more like 4-5 miles 3-4 times a week. This week was decent, hoping to keep up as school starts up again in a few weeks. 

    Eating has been fine for me this time around! No aversions, no unhealthy cravings, so all good in that department!

    I had a decent week, some spin and a cardio/weight circuit class. No modifications but I have noticed frequently feeling like I have to pee so I’m getting a little concerned about pelvic floor weakness. Trying to find some core/pelvic floor exercises to add in and see if that helps. 

    My running has really been lacking the past couple of weeks but I really want to get back to it! If I can pick up where I left off distance-wise (no more crazy fast sprints), I’d like to do a race this fall. I always wanted to run a half when pregnant (done a few already) but I think that’s a bit ambitious. 

    My pre-pregnancy eating habits were awful. I’m trying hard to add in fruits, Greek yogurt, and almonds daily to balance out the junk I’ll inevitably eat

    @catwoman8731 Thanks!  You're doing great with your mileage! 

    @megpants209 I'd love to know if you end up doing a half this fall!  Ambitious, sure, but not impossible.

    I’m continuing to do yoga at home daily. If anyone is looking for video suggestions, Sarah Beth on YouTube has some great ones. I’m also walking 20-30 mins, 2-3x a week and found some prenatal dance videos on YouTube which have been fun. Lol. 
    This is in addition to chasing a 3 year old around
