Re: July Fitness!
Went on a run last night to get out of the house since the boys and I are quarantined from each other (Fifth disease if you don’t frequent weekly ransoms). Running is definitely getting harder. Got 3 miles in but at a 2 minute per mile slower pace than pre-pregnancy and I had to walk a hill.
I have noticed that spin has become actually easier later in 2nd tri than earlier for some reason.
I think this month will be about slowing down some. Continuing to modify some moves, probably ending my running until PP, etc.
I've still been working out from the Jillian Michaels fitness app. I do the Yeah Baby workouts. I'm finding that modified pushups and planks are becoming more challenging with a growing belly.
My goal is to get 3 workouts in per week with the app and generally walk around more. My job is sedentary, but I work from home so I could get up and walk around more.
Goals for July? My main goal is just to see if I can keep up the current status of working out 6-7 days/week total. I'm guessing it will get much harder as I enter the 3rd trimester in less than two weeks!
Questions? Not right now, hope everyone is having luck with your current journeys!
First of all, I can't believe it's July.
What are your workout routines looking like these days? Modifications, new findings?
Still low impact and have to be careful with weight lifting due to placenta previa. Last week I got in 2 good lifts though, in addition to a few other workouts and it felt so good. It's so important to me to keep my strength up as much as possible, so I'm doing what I can while within my restrictions. I'm aiming for 2 lift days per week and 2 low impact days that are more cardio based.
Goals for July?
Just to keep up my strength as much as I can!
Questions?
No questions right now, just waiting for this dang placenta to move up.
Im hoping to keep spin up now again for as long as I can.
Still working out which I’m really happy about! I am mixing up weights, cardio and yoga about 5 times per week. Also walking daily as we have a dog that LOVES his walks. So those aren’t optional LOL.
Overall goals are to keep staying active as much as possible and realize that my strength/stamina aren’t what they were pre-pregnancy. It’s definitely gotten harder! Also be more patient and understanding about my body and all the changes going on.
Questions-has anyone else had a difficult time adjusting to your new body?

My work year ended two weeks ago (I work in a public school) so I have recently picked up my workouts. I’ve started walking more and taking a Body pump class at my gym.
Some challenges: tons of ligament pain during exercise- even walking! My Dr recommended I get a belly band thing to support. Anyone use one and have one that they love?
Goals for July? My goal is to workout 4x per week even if it’s just walking!
I just finished my 3rd workout of the week for the first time in who knows how long. 💪
How's your week going so far?
What kind of workouts do you like to do?
I wish I could find a prenatal yoga class nearby but no luck yet on that.
What kind of weight program?
We don’t have any prenatal classes that I’m aware of either. I just tell the instructors that I’m pregnant and they will either give me modifications or I’ll just do my own. Luckily I’ve been doing yoga for almost 3 years so I’m fairly comfortable with everything unless it’s lying on my stomach or deep twisting.
I actually do do my own thing when it comes to weights! No specific program but will break up my days into upper and lower body and do cardio and/or yoga in between weight lifting days!

Hope your workout goes well! Sometimes I tell myself I’ll just do cardio for 20min if I don’t feel up to a full session. Often times 20 minutes flies by and I’m able to squeeze in more time! Just a little tip that works for me 🤗
Hope your glucose screen goes well today and the doc can get you some answers on why you aren't feeling well. 🤞
And thank you! The drink didn’t taste terrible but I don’t tolerate sugar very well so I didn’t feel great after. But it’s done thank goodness! And nothing about this sickness-just have to wait it out and treat the symptoms unfortunately 😓 hoping it goes away soon!
Happy Friday eve 😁
Thats awesome you have a meal plan etc for post baby! Where did you get it from? And what protein are you using?! I’ve been using the brand Orgain when I’m in a rush or need extra protein and it’s actually really good! 🤗
Pinterest is where a lot of my ideas come from but my cousin recently had helped me get active with Shaklee and she has a group I'm part of on FB that puts lots of meal plans/dietary ideas up. So I'm using that too!
I got my workout in yesterday. I'm on week 4 of the Yeah Baby 2nd Trimester. I feel pretty good. Checking in with you is definitely motivating me to get my workout in.
@andromedacorrine2 it's hard to figure out a pumping schedule,I but it seems like you have it figured out
I am taking my 6 weeks Short term disability and then I'm trying to figure out if we can make a trip to Florida possible next year. If we can, I'm gonna wait to use my four weeks for that. With my daughter, she was EBF, so once I figured my pumping schedule at work out, everything else fell in place. How ever I also worked 5 nights a week, not three days a week. So this time will be a little more difficult maintaining my pumping at home to make sure I have plenty for the baby.
Since my lunch break is the only time I get, I figure it's as good a time to start a protein shake and meal replacement. We also have a small gym on site at our plant and I'd like to start using that next year. Hardly anyone uses it so I'd feel comfortable being there 😂
The law used to require only a 30 minute unpaid break and I had to pump on my lunch then too cause it was our longest break we had. It also sucks our room is ALLL the way up by the offices and our cafeteria is smack in the middle of the plant. So by the time I got up there to pump after hearing food, id have 15 minutes to pump. I already asked HR if the 30 minutes starts from when I enter the room and she told me no, it starts from the start of my break 😑
