Re: FitMom Check-in W/O 1/28
What are your goals for the upcoming week? I am hoping for 3 workouts and I already did one! It was a prenatal workout so the intensity was lower than I'm used to, but it's better than nothing.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself? I need more sleep. I want to go to bed earlier every night but I always say this and never do it. Last night I tried, but then proceeded to lay awake for 2.5 hours.
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours? He used to do his workout during lunch at his gym and I would do my workout over lunch at my gym. But we ran into some major health issues recently where he's had to take a break. I hope he'll pick up with fitness again but it's so hard to find the time with 3 kids and the commutes and all the stuff we have going on. He enables me anytime I want to work out. I'd like to do the same for him!
This is my first post in this group, hope it's okay, since I just got to feeling well enough to go back to working out...
What were your biggest successes from the previous two weeks? Went back to the gym for the first time in ~8 weeks on Friday... and paid for it all weekend. Standing up/sitting down took a solid few seconds. Probably not helped by fact hip area muscles are the muscles already angry/sore/stretching from pregnancy
What are your goals for the upcoming week? 2-3 workouts at my normal gym (it's the same class offered a few times per day). Got one in this morning. The MWF work outs are more weights with short cardio period at the end, so easier for my trainer to adapt to pregnancy than the TR cardio heavy ones. Also better for pregnancy because the heart rate elevation risks are smaller.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself? Try a bath to ease some of the muscle tension/soreness! We got a fancy jetted tub that also has air bubbles, so it will cool off/be safe like a normal bath would, not risk hot water getting cycled back in like a hot tub (although I'm 99% sure it cycles water already in the tub so it wouldn't be an issue, I need to look into this further).
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours? He's been less than stellar about it recently (he'd admit it, so it's not talking behind his back), but he tries to get up extra early and hop on the elliptical for 30-60. Doesn't affect me much, other than it means I wake up the first time a little earlier and usually can't fall fully back asleep after he leaves and the sleep gets worse and/or the dreams get weird AF.
What were your biggest successes from the previous two weeks?
I got to the gym during my lunch hour 5/5 days, also did a half hour prenatal yoga session last night... so I'd say that's a win!
What are your goals for the upcoming week?
Goal is 3-4 days this week. I am not at work one day and have a lunch wedding shower another day.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself?
More water, in bed by 9 on work nights (up at 530am) and one session a week of yoga.
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours?
He works out at his work gym when he can but his work schedule is crazy.
Not much in the workout department due to sick kids but was able to stay on top of clean eating
What are your goals for the upcoming week?
workout three times this week and get a routine down
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself?
Quiet time in the morning before my girls wake up and stay focused on eating
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours?
gym four times a week. It keeps me motivated and want to keep up. I just got second tri energy and it feels so good
Actually hitting the gym regularly! Last week, I got 3 lunch hour workouts in. The week before was 5!
What are your goals for the upcoming week?
Continue to go to the gym, even if I don't want to.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself?
Focus on stress relief and self care. I'm thinking a bath on this cold, windy January day sounds like a great idea!
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours?
He is so much more committed to working out. Its inspiring to me. It helps that he's seen major changes in his body that he's proud of. We both work out over lunch at the same gym. He'd spend 2 hours there if he could (and sometimes does) where as I'm a little more restricted in my lunch time.
Running every other day (ish) and getting in workouts indoors on the in between days! Weather has been awful here... so ready for spring!
What are your goals for the upcoming week?
Continue runs every other day and add a yoga day.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself?
More water and focus on diet. I try to keep to the 80/20 eating (good/splurge) but girl scout cookies are getting to me! 🐷
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours?
What are your goals for the upcoming week? Just keep on keepin' on. I'm traveling this week, so that'll probably disrupt my workouts, but it's only 2 days so I figure I'll just hit it all the others. So far so good. I should work on adding in more water.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself? Honestly I'm ok with this quick trip away from the family - I need to finish my book club book before this weekend!
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours? He's lucky that his job is pretty physical, and he has a blessed metabolism. He dabbles here and there with an at home workout, but I'm talking like once a month maybe. He talks about increasing that sometimes, and I think it would be good for him, but I'm not going to nag on the point. He's extremely supportive of my gym, and recognizes how much it impacts not just my physical but mental health. Helps that I usually take DD with me, but he doesn't have any issue if I switch it up.
What are your goals for the upcoming week? Get in a run or two, along with a walk.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself? With all of our visitors, one of the ways I plan to take care of myself is to plan when I get workouts in and what they'll be, then stick to it. Sometimes I'll wing if I workout or not and what I do, but with more limited time over these next few weeks, sticking to the plan helps me feel like I'm taking care of myself - if that makes any sense.
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours? My SO is also a runner, and his goal is to run 50 marathons in 50 states (he's up to 24 and counting!), so he's usually out for long runs after work and on Saturday mornings. He motivates me to get out and do something when I'm not feeling motivated, and that happened early on in pregnancy when I was exhausted and not feeling like doing much. Thankfully, second tri = more motivation!
Last week was tough for me. Sore muscles and busy work schedule. This week I am proud to say I already met my week's goal of 3 workouts, 1 of the workouts being an Orangetheory session!
What are your goals for the upcoming week?
I want to stick with my 3 times a week goal and try for 10k steps a day with my Fitbit.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself?
I really want to drink more fluids. I keep getting headaches and I think I definitely haven't been drinking enough water.
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours?
My husband doesn't really workout. He wants to get into it, but so far he's only doing one long walk a week (we go as a family and take turns pushing DS in the stroller). Since he doesn't really workout, he's my cheerleader and encourages me to take time for myself and go for a run while he watches DS.
And yay for meeting your goal for the week already! It's only Wednesday!!
i rolled my ankle last night (not doing anything but walking around after my three year old). I took today off but am hoping to be back at CrossFit tomorrow. I’ve still been hitting classes 6 days a week so I’m hoping this doesn’t set me back.
I'm impressed by those of you who mainly run for exercise. I feel like my cardio conditioning has dropped off a lot - I get winded easier and need to take breaks where I wouldn't have before.
@tova24, ha! Those potatoes are memorable for sure. Have heard awesome things about Grandma's. Didn't know they did the spaghetti dinner the night before. How fun!! We're originally from Wisconsin, so have lots of friends and family who have run that one. It's on his radar for round 2, since he did the Twin Cities marathon in 2016. That one's pretty iconic, at least for us Midwesterners!
@wineandcoffee, I hope your ankle is feeling better today! CrossFit six days a week is super impressive!!
What were your biggest successes from the previous two weeks?
Biggest successes are getting off my butt and actually getting things DONE around this house and I've made it to about 4 CF workouts and 2 treadmill sessions (walking while working!) and 2 long cleaning sessions with increased heart rate.
What are your goals for the upcoming week?
I'm late to the week on this post, but my goal was 3 workouts and I did it! Next week the plan is 3 CF days and 2 treadmill days. The second tri energy is FINALLY here, so I'm taking advantage.
What is one way you plan to take care of yourself?
I've been tracking my food and water intake in a Mambi Live Well planner. It has helped me make good choices because I know I will have to write it down!
GTKY: What is your SO's fitness routine and how does it impact yours?
SO and I have been doing Crossfit together for about 5 years. We love our gym and our coaches are a major part of our lives. (They are SUPER excited about baby!) He has been great about asking me every morning if I want to get up and go to the gym and I took him up on it twice this week. That was really good for me! We do find that we tend to feed off of each other with it. If one person is more motivated to go, it gets the other one going. If one of us is just checked out of it health-wise or mentally, we tend to not go... So good and bad.
