Hey there Fit mamas! How are your work outs going? Hitting your goals? Modifications? Doing anything different with the holiday this week?
Re: [Trying to stay] Fit Mama Monday- Thanksgiving Edition!
This week there’s no yoga class so I want to make sure I stay on top of my home practice and get some walking in. Maybe if the weather is decent I’ll try to run/walk the neighborhood.
Bouncing off last week’s post I had my monthly appointment last Friday and found out I gained just as much in the last 4 weeks as I did over all of 1st tri. Kind of bummed about that. I’m up 14lbs and I know that is ok but bugs me I’m already at my full term pregnancy weight from 5 years ago because I never lost all the weight. It’s just freaking me out that I won’t lose it and be even bigger than before. Trying to stay positive because I’m 99% more active and eating better compared to last time.
Afm, I managed to log 5.5 miles of water jogging last week. I'll probably only manage half that this week with holiday travel. But I am so glad to be exercising, even if it's just this little thing. I meant to exercise with my june17 baby, but never felt like it. Man I wish I had though. I feel so much better for doing it. Plus DH was sweet about it and said he can already see my tone improving in my back muscles 😆. I just want to encourage anyone lurking on this thread to add in something little, it really does feel better than doing nothing, at least for me.
@novelblessings super impressed you raced with kiddo in a stroller! And I’m with you on struggling with the weight gain. I’m gaining faster this pregnancy than with DS, but as everyone has said, so long as we’re active and eating healthy than we’re doing a good job!
@sejica never tried it, but water jogging sounds hard, I’m impressed!
Had another weak work-out week this past week and the scale at the drs office was not kind this morning (but I definitely subtract 4lbs for clothes and shoes)! Planning to do better this week with exercising and trying to balance thanksgiving indulgence with healthy choices the rest of the week. We’ll see, though. Definitely struggling with weight gain this time around and really missing running.
I got 4 workouts in last week. I haven't done anything yet this week, but I am telling myself it's not too late and I still am aiming for 4-5! I am at 25 weeks and already gained 23 lbs, sooo I really don't want to gain more than 7-10 in the next 15 weeks.
Last week, I didn’t meet my goal of 5x per week because work is insane (yuck). But still managed 4x so can’t complain (and much needed stress relief!). Trying to take advantage of the holiday, though, and on pace for 6x this week!
I’m also having a tough time wrapping my head around weight gain (my DH thinks I’m cray). Just trying to stay healthy and enjoy these body changes one day at at time haha
Wishing y’all the best holiday weekend!!
