Maintain exercise/fitness, not gain too much, balanced (but intuitive) eating
Pretty well. I feel like I have a little more energy this week. I've still been maintaining my workout regime (lifting & spin), but true morning sickness hasn't kicked in yet, so...we'll see. I'm definitely bloated, and looking at the scale makes me feel bleh. I'm taking advantage of the "pre-morning sickness" phase to focus on whole foods.
Honestly just sticking to my workout regime is a pretty big win for me right now.

Goals are to try a slightly higher protein and water intake in first trimester, and doing more yoga and minor weight training (also have to be careful as I ended up with DR last time too!).
I really want to avoid so much weight gain, as it makes the SPD worse, so I'm going to work on posture and mindfulness with my yoga to try to keep at least somewhat toned. But as I'm nursing two kids, I am super hungry and prone to being light headed. So a careful balancing act is my goal.

I am hoping to stick to all my supplements - that is something going well so far. I have hashimotos so I have to be extra diligent I am getting enough nutrients and resting.
My goal is to stay mentally strong and to get 8 hours of sleep. Anyone else having sleep problems? Mine were preexisting so I'll take any tips.
I got nothing.
Also, it would be much easier to get to know you if you update your screen name!
