Re: Fit Mamas 8/6-8/12
Not even close. Last week was about survival.
What are your goals for this week?
I'm going to say 2 workouts / walks
Challenges/Modifications?
Last week was my worst week for symptoms so far. And having it either be raining or 90* with 80% humidity doesn't help. The short walk from my office to the car feels like a workout. I need to plan some relatively easy conditioning workouts that have me remaining upright. There will be no downward dogs for a little while.
What was one success from last week?
Yesterday we went for a long walk at the zoo (even though it ended with us sweating our asses off and my hands/fingers swelling).
Did you meet your pregnancy goals last week? - I didn't have any fitness goals, but I switched from carbs for breakfast to scrambled eggs - even though I'm not crazy about them. It helps me eat SLIGHTLY less throughout the rest of the day.
What are your goals for this week? - Cut out one more "carb-session" and replace it with something healthier. Right now after breakfast it all goes downhill. I have a carb-y snack, a carb-y lunch, a carb-y dinner, and then this nightly ice cream/fudge pop habit...... It's no bueno. A second goal is to make sure that I work out at least 5 days. Last week I only managed 3.
Challenges/Modifications? - I was eating practically Keto before I got pregnant. I was eating VERY low amounts of carbs and sugar, so now I can see myself blowing up already because that's all I'm craving. I don't eat a ton of fruits & veggies so I've been drinking V8 (per my doctor's recommendation) to supplement servings of fruits & veg..... but when you don't eat a ton of variety, it's really hard to make super healthy pregnant choices.
What was one success from last week? - Getting off the cereal carb kick at 7am.
No, but I was also on vacation and had unrealistic ideas of how much working out I’d be able to get in.
What are your goals for this week?
Run 4 days, weight lifting 2 days
Challenges/Modifications?
I need to mentally give myself some grace if I miss a workout or modifiy to something less strenuous.
What was one success from last week?
I only ate ice cream out once at the beach vs. 3-4 times haha
Basically. I was spectating at the CrossFit Games most of the end of the week/weekend, so I didn't workout. But I did walk a ton! My main goal was to pack my food in a cooler and go to the car to eat. I was mostly successful with this, except when food aversions hit hard a few times.
What are your goals for this week?
Back to the gym routine. Trying for 4-5 days. I also have my first US Thursday, so hopefully everything is good. If it is, then I will tell my coach about my pregnancy at a coach's meeting on Saturday.
Challenges/Modifications?
Dialing things back a bit. It is suppose to be a 5 rep max test week for our major lifts, but I have to remember to hold back a bit.
What was one success from last week?
Stuck to clean food options and worked out when I could. We also bought a rig for our new home gym!
Hit my walking goal 5 out of 7 days last week...thankfully my apple watch keeps me in check lol It helped my gf was in town, so we took her out around town and did a ton of walking / sightseeing!
What are your goals for this week?
About the same. My doctor has me not doing anything crazy and no lifting over 10 lbs, so won't be doing too much more til 2nd trimester.
Challenges/Modifications?
Been eating decently for the most part, but need to challenge myself to try more / different foods so don't get bored and resort to not so good things.
What was one success from last week?
Only gave into ice cream once or twice. Bought some little sugar-free jello snacks, so when the urge for something hits, I have a substitute with low calories.

Finally, yes! I think setting them on here is helping my accountability. I did 3 workouts last week (I even enjoyed the last one and didn't feel like I was dying) and also did some laps kicking in our pool because it was so nice out.
What are your goals for this week?
My goal for the week is to make it to 4 workouts. My girls are with my mom for the week since they don't have camp, so I have no excuse besides morning sickness, which oddly always strikes me at night.
Challenges/Modifications?
Challenge = not walking straight out of my gym and into Jet's Pizza once I'm done
What was one success from last week?
I accomplished my goal and started to feel slightly more like my normal self at the gym. My nausea is getting better by the day so I hope this trend continues.
Did you meet your pregnancy goals last week?
Not at all. Between the heat/humidity, traveling for a family wedding, work deadlines, FATIGUE, and the recurrence of morning sickness, I am lucky I survived the week!
What are your goals for this week?
Try to get back on track with 3 runs and 2 cross-training days!
Challenges/Modifications?
The heat and my exhaustion are the biggest challenges. I tend to overheat easily and I try to be really conservative while pregnant. I might have to renew my gym membership to get through August just for the AC.
What was one success from last week?
I did manage to get one 5 mile run in on the only cool morning when I wasn’t feeling like death. I am calling that a success, but only because it was better than nothing!
Nutrition wise, not the best but definitely better than the week before. Before getting pregnant I was relatively low carb. Maybe one a day, sometimes none. NOW... different story. Just trying to manage that better. Really glad I’m at least getting activity in because if I wasn’t my booty would be getting out of control. My pants are getting TIGHT!
What are your goals for this week? Continued work on nutrition, reduce current carb addiction.
Challenges/Modifications? Challenge: Just that I’m so TIREDDDDDDD!!! I know a lot you ladies are feeling the same way! Last thing I want to do is get up at 5 and workout but I always feel better and I know it’s going to help in the long run.
What was one success from last week? Getting my workouts in.
Did you meet your pregnancy goals last week? No. I only worked out twice, I need to be working out 4-5 times/wk.
What are your goals for this week? At least 4 times to the gym to weight lift and do cardio. I've been struggling on my runs lately due to shortness of breath. I'm used to running 3 miles at a time, but the last couple of weeks all I could manage was a 1 mile run then a 1 mile walk. This morning I ran 2 miles straight! I'll also incorporate some swimming for cardio. I've done that some and it's a nice change up.
Challenges/Modifications? Just to listen to my body and not push too hard.
What was one success from last week? I've been eating lots of salads! It's the one thing at lunch that sounds really appetizing. I think with this hot weather, the cool, crisp, freshness is speaking to me.
What are your goals for this week? Run 3 times, walk every day
Challenges/Modifications? Just taking it easier than I normally would
What was one success from last week? Running twice.
My goal was to run 3-4 times and I ran just twice (3.5 miles each time) but I’m still proud of that because I’ve been so tired and nauseous. I’m headed to the gym tonight though!
What are your goals for this week?
I’d like to run 3 times a week if I can keep my nausea at bay. Mostly just do the best I can.
Challenges/Modifications?
soo tired and nausea is really kicking in!
What was one success from last week?
Monday night last week my run felt like pre pregnancy. I felt energized and strong. I loved it!
Did you meet your pregnancy goals last week?
No.
What are your goals for this week?
I want to get to the gym at least twice this week. I also need to start finding more snacks that aren't all carbs. I feel like everything I want to eat right now is a carb and the bloat is getting out of control.
Challenges/Modifications?
I downloaded a fitness app that has guided workouts that I've used before. I learned they had a 40 week maternity program, so I really want to start working on that. They give you 4 workouts a week, so hopefully I can work up to that.
What was one success from last week?
I took the dog on a long walk to the beach the other day. It really isn't a success, but it sure felt like one at the time
Nope. I was pretty sick last week and had spotting on and off so I rested all week.
What are your goals for this week?
Well I was going to be running a relay Friday and Saturday but as of right now I’m not allowed to run due to spotting. I’ll find out more tomorrow.
Challenges/Modifications?
I modified everything to nap mode last week. LoL
What was one success from last week?
I still got some walking in several days!
What are your goals for this week? Movement everyday - hoping for 5 days of strength with walks.
Challenges/Modifications? Still only lifting max 30lbs (they told me 25lbs but DD is 33lbs so I'm going with 30) until I can talk to the Dr at my next appointment. By then more than 30lbs will probably be a struggle lol.
What was one success from last week? One success from last week? I did a 45 minute strength workout - I've never done that not pregnant so to do it 6 weeks pregnant seems like a huge success.
Keep up the great work, ladies! Some movement while pregnant is better than nothing and is sure to lead to easier delivery & recovery
What are your goals for this week? Try to get 10 miles of cardio in and 2 strength training sessions.
Challenges/Modifications? Just moving to do cardio when I feel trashy. The last thing I feel like doing is working out, but it's going to help keep my weight gain under control.
What was one success from last week? I did get 1 strength training session in, and it went well (lifted a good amount of weight and wasn't so tired I had to crawl out of the gym).
I'm so impressed with all of you that are still running! Running is hard for me NOT pregnant and I'm admiring those of you who are still kicking it into high gear. also kudos to everyone who's just trying to move right now. I know we all feel sick and exhausted at times and it's been hard to get anything fitness related in. way to go!
