After a little scare last Friday, my dr told me to take it easy. So, this was definitely not a productive workout week. I plan to do an easy prenatal yoga youtube session after work today, get some pool time in tomorrow, and go for a walk on Sunday. At my Tuesday appt, I'll check and see if I can add barre classes back in.

I've been so short of breath this week, only one elliptical and weights session. Still keeping up with the daily dog walking though. If the breathlessness keeps up I'll have to switch to something non-cardio, but no idea what. It's hard for me to find prenatal yoga classes near me for some reason, so I'm trying to brainstorm other ideas.

bluebonnet15 · May 2019

@lovelikestardust I like just finding short prenatal barre or yoga classes on youtube. Free and easy!

sourlemon · May 2019

I've really gotten lazy this pregnancy (initially due to early complications but then just due to laziness). I feel like I should try to do short walks but I feel so crappy for hours after even a slow walk, so I justify the laziness in my head. I'll probably pay for it after I'm cleared to work out Post delivery and I'm already dreading it.

You all who are still working out are awesome!

@heml I hope things continue to go well, and you get good news at Tuesdays appointment.
@lovelikestardust even short daily walks are great, defenitly better than I was doing until recently
AFM, I am continuing my MommaStrong workouts, got one in everyday this week. A little nervous about today and tomorrow since we're going to a big family weekend. But I'm just going to tell myself it would be a shame to break the streak at this point. I think for today the best bet will be to do it as soon I finish work before my boys realize I'm available. (I work from home on Fridays)

mkrel · May 2019

@heml I hope you get the all clear
@lovelikestardust In my last pregnancy all I did was walk daily and I am positive it helped me during the pregnancy and post partum

I finally got back to the peloton this week and did two workouts and have one planned today. We were in San Diego over the long weekend and we walked quite a bit each day as well. It gave me some motivation to get back on track. Now that the weather has warmed up and our neighborhood lap pool is open, I'm hoping to swim or even walk some laps in the pool a couple days a week.

@heml - I hope your Tues appointment goes well and you're able to resume your workouts.

Went on a short hike on Sunday and then a 5 mile run on Monday. Haven't made it to the gym since then and have been tired and moving slower this week. I just need to remind myself that any activity makes me feel better to drag myself out of bed in the mornings a few days a week for a workout.

My BH have been horrible when too active. But I’ve still been walking a ton on the regular and did 2 barre classes this week. Aiming for 2 next week.

sw1122 · May 2019

@AKuzReve - My BH get really bad when I'm active as well. I found that drinking gatorade during workouts helped significantly, but now that I probably have GD, I'll need to find a no sugar/low carb beverage or just up my water intake during workouts.

Avrilmai · May 2019

@heml yikes, sorry about the scare. Hope all is well and you can get back to your normal soon
@lovelikestardust I agree, try youtube or if you have Amazon Prime I know I've seen some workouts there as well. any movement is better than none and I'm sure your dog appreciates the walks too.
@mrosek91 GL getting your workout in. Stay strong. you've got this!
@mkrel I'm envious of those with easy access to a pool. There is one at my gym, but it would be much nicer to have to drive to get to it!
@AKuzReve getting in 2 classes and walking sounds like a win to me!

It's been a while since I've checked in here, mainly because Fridays have been so crazy lately. I managed to get to my prenatal fitness class twice this week. Goal for next week is to get to yoga at least once and the prenatal class twice.

wanderlustsoul · May 2019

@sw1122, I have GD too and I drink so much water (3-4L per day). The stairs that I have to climb a million times a day doesn’t help either. I’m already at 10 flights of stairs today and I didn’t do much since I WFH.

sourlemon · May 2019

Can those with GD drink Powerade Zero? It's no carb but I have no idea if it would somehow mess with the numbers due to artificial sweeteners.

purplg8r · May 2019

@heml I’m sorry you had a scare! Glad you took it easy

@lovelikestardust the shortness of breath is so annoying! I hope you can find something you enjoy

@sourlemon I don’t have GD (have my test on Wednesday) but if I do end up diagnosed, I hope artificial sweeteners don’t affect numbers! Regular water makes me gag most of the time!

@mrosek91 way to go on your streak!

@mkrel how is doing the peloton now? I feel like it would be uncomfortable to lean to the handle bars.

@sw1122 way to go on getting 5 miles in! I’ve given up on anything over 3.

@AKuzReve 2 barre classes sounds good to me!

@Avrilmai so does 2 prenatal classes!

I ran 3 miles last weekend and have a 5k tomorrow. I always regret not running a race the morning of my bridal shower or wedding so we made sure to find one the morning of my baby shower (tomorrow ). It’s supposedly not shaded at all and will be around 80 degrees so we’ll probably walk more than run but I’ll count it. And since my shower colors are pink and gold, we’re all wearing pink tanks.

mkrel · May 2019

@purplg8r Not going to lie, my 30 week belly makes it much more difficult. I raised the handlebars as high as they go and sit straight up a lot only using the handlebars occasionally when I'm sitting, but mostly just for riding out of the saddle! I figure anything is better than nothing.

sw1122 · June 2019

@sourlemon - I thought about Gatorade/Powerade zero and I hope there aren’t a lot of carbs! I need to make a trip to the grocery store tomorrow and spend some time looking at nutrition facts

sourlemon · June 2019

@sw1122 Powerade zero says less than 1 per serving. I drink 2 or 3 of the big bottles a day...been doing that since DH and I were training for marathons and never stopped. My concern would be if artificial sweeteners affect blood sugar...I just have no idea.

cato99 · June 2019

My parents visited last weekend and we did A LOT of fancy cooking and eating, and I was worn out from the visit so I skipped exercising on Monday for the first day in recent memory, so I wanted to be a little harder with exercise this week! My hikes are usually 1 hour but I had time in my schedule to bump them up to 2 hours pretty much every day (Tuesday-today). I also had prenatal yoga today and will start going twice a week now. After that week of heavier exercising I was tired in a good way but I’m really feeling great.

wanderlustsoul · June 2019

@cato99, this is amazing! I think the more you work out, the better it may feel. I might try kicking up my activity and see if that helps the BH. After exams this week, I am free. I’ve been taking the dog to the park 2 times a day for 30-60 min walks but I may kick up my walking.

sw1122 · June 2019

@sourlemon - it doesn’t look like artificial sweeteners affect blood sugar levels and that most sweeteners are diabetes friendly and pregnancy safe. Thanks for flagging - glad I looked into it

bluebonnet15 · June 2019

Thanks @mrosek91@mkrel @sw1122 @Avrilmai I know my dr was being overly cautious, but I'm quite alright with that.

@purplg8r So fun that y'all are dressing up and 5King today! Hope your shower is amazing.

@sw1122 I've been drinking a ton of Gatorade zero, and I always feel so much better after so hopefully that works with your GD!

cato99 · June 2019

@AKuzReve being on an academic schedule and being DONE with classes or teaching or exams makes such a huge difference. That’s exactly the reason I was able to expand my hikes!
