What are you doing to keep fit/stay healthy?
How are you powering through symptoms to do so?
If you are unable to power through symptoms to work out, what are you doing to keep an eye on your health otherwise?

Re: Friday Fitness 8/30
How are you powering through symptoms to do so? I am intrinsically motivated because it gives me energy and it's just a lifestyle... but I'm struggling! I find I am short of breath from the beginning (in fact, it actually gets BETTER at mile 4 or what not). And I'm just not enjoying it! I've slowed down and blah. Hoping I get my motivation back. I also am changing my diet now that the nausea is mostly better. More protein is a priority for me!

I have been doing prenatal yoga once per week and walking when I can. I have lifted weights a few times but not consistently.
How are you powering through symptoms to do so? Walking feels good so it doesn’t feel like a chore. Yoga I prepaid for 6 weeks so I feel like I have to go!
If you are unable to power through symptoms to work out, what are you doing to keep an eye on your health otherwise? Nothing really, I’m just trying to survive the first tri. I’m not sure when the last time I had a vegetable was. Once I’m not puking so much, I’d like to start being more mindful of what I eat so I have more energy.
@EmilyLove25 I am so sorry you're unable to enjoy the running--do you think that will change when the Second Tri Magic happens? I am truly holding out for Second Tri Magic. It must exist.

What are you doing to keep fit/stay healthy? I haven't been working out at all =/ I have still been eating mostly organic/BPA-free and I have been able to eat more than garbage, which is good.

If you are unable to power through symptoms to work out, what are you doing to keep an eye on your health otherwise? My OB said only to workout when I felt well enough too and NOT to worry about it for first trimester. I've only gained about 5 lb. so far, and I am on the smaller side of the weight spectrum to begin with, and have sort of leveled out at five, so I'm not worried about that and think it's probably fine. Like I said above, I have been eating well, or as well as possible. I probably will need to introduce more protein into my diet soon though because I have barely had any meat/fish in the past few weeks. Lots of yogurt, and I put protein powder in my smoothies... peanut butter? so, at least some, but ... still ...
my symptoms have been ok. I’m not nauseous anymore but really tired and have shortness of breath. I also get light-headed and overheat easily. A couple weeks ago I had a really horrible session with my trainer and had to take a 10 minute break to recover but he was super helpful and understanding.
Nutritionally, I’m hit and miss. I’m trying to do salads and fruit when I can. Still craving all the carbs. Thankfully, my sweet tooth is not out of control.
How are you powering through symptoms to do so? Keeping to the routine and not over doing it at the gym.
If you are unable to power through symptoms to work out, what are you doing to keep an eye on your health otherwise? I have been doing food prep as usual and meal planning. Just eat extra snacks bc baby and working out makes me hangry.
its hard! Before pregnancy I would work out daily at 6:30 am before work with cardio and strength training (Kayla Itsines) and now I’m just a blob! Eating horribly because I can stomach are carbs and I can barely go to work and come home without feeling wiped or nauseous

not powering through - just surviving. Any tips?

hoping to get some energy back second trimester and start my routine again slowly.
