I know attempting to work out is getting tougher every week! What were your victories this week? Did you manage to get in a few squats while getting ready in the morning? Walk the dog? Make it to the gym??!
Re: Fit Mama Friday 6/7
I made it twice this week. Yoga on monday and the prenatal fitness class yesterday. I actually showed up at my gym on Wednesday, but they were closed because the power was out... I took that as a sign that I was supposed to just relax that evening. lol.

@Avrilmai, a definite sign.
You guys. The stairs are becoming so hard. I contemplate sitting after the 2nd floor. We have typical Dutch stairs so they’re super narrow and steep.
I did some walking this week! 20 KMs so far since Monday. Only 1 workout class. We’re heading to the beach for the long weekend and will do some hiking and tons of walking. My BH were soooooo much better this week, which was a nice relief.

@Avrilmai - Actually going to the gym is the hardest part - I think I would count that as a visit to the gym
@AKuzReve - I'm so jealous of your weekend - the beach and hiking sound so nice. Glad you got some relief from your BH this week
I'm also struggling with stairs - definitely feeling out of breath even after walking up a single flight. Gym twice this week for some strength training a running. Hoping to get a run in before my parents come visit tomorrow morning, but may just sleep in instead.
@AKuzReve So jealous of the beach, Have fun!
@Avrilmai lol..I like that sign!
@AKuzReve I’m so glad your BH were better this week!!
@sw1122 I’m impressed you’re still running! I decided this week to hang up my running shoes.
@mkrel yeah, that’s gotta be uncomfortable!!
i ran a 5k on Saturday before my shower and had to drop my intervals a lot. Then I ran with my friends on Wednesday morning and decided to hang up my running shoes for this pregnancy. It was a hard decision but it’s really so hot here and I’m having a hard time breathing. I really need to start walking but it’s hard to have motivation for that. I do have a 4 miler I’m walking on the 4th of July. And I signed up for a 5k a month after I’m due. (But I’m totally walking it—you can bring a stroller so it’ll be our little ones first 5k!)
Twice this week I was able to get out for a longer hike than my daily one, it’s 4.5ish miles with a steep climb at the end. I had no idea doing that two days in a row would absolutely wreck me (on the second day it took me nearly three hours, when non-pregnant it’s about 1.5). Never again! I’ll still try to do it once a week for this pregnancy and if I do it more, never again on consecutive days!
I upped my prenatal yoga class schedule from once to twice a week. One is a more fun goofy active class, and the other (new) one is more slow and challenging and really focused on strength and stability. At one point in deadly seriousness during a pelvic exercise the instructor said “now pretend you are picking up an egg with your anus” so it was also a workout in self control for not absolutely losing it at the absurdity.

Proud of all of you ladies! This thread continues to be a huge source of motivation to me. When we migrate to FB, I hope we can talk postpartum workouts, as well

@sw1122 I feel the exact same way you do
