Re: Fit Friday 1/17
How did you do last week? Really well. I went to Bootcamp once and was able to get 3 runs in during the week (one was an easy run, one hill run, and my 9 mile long run). I have a 5k tomorrow!
Any goals for next week? Keep with my running 3-4x/wk and Bootcamp/HIIT 1-2x/wk. I also want to get in 3 really good stretch sessions.
GTKY: What was a nutrition “win” this week (i.e. meal planned/increased veggies/puked less from MS)? I only had take out once the whole week! This is a big deal. I’d been eating out almost daily for at least one meal. It was bad. But thanks to food aversions I’ve been eating at home!
How are you feeling this week? OK. Rough start to the week but I've actually felt pretty decent the last couple weeks.
How did you do last week? Not great. I did go to pilates class last Saturday, but *TW* I spotted some later that day and it really freaked me out. I did one 20 minute cycling class on Wednesday and plan to again tomorrow morning.
Any goals for next week? IF I keep feeling good, I'd really like to get in an EOD pattern with cycling. Not sure if pilates class will happen this week -- it's easiest to go on the weekend and this one is very full, but maybe next Saturday!
GTKY: What was a nutrition “win” this week (i.e. meal planned/increased veggies/puked less from MS)? I had salad for lunch 3 days this week! My favorite lunch habit when work schedules permit is to power walk to the salad bar farthest from my office location while listening to podcasts. I get frustrated by buying veggies and having too much of some things, not enough of others, and too many things going bad, so I try to splurge on a lunch salad a few times a week and then just do some roast veggies with a few dinners and call it good.
How did you do last week? Actually pretty well now that I think about it. Did 2 runs, yoga, and weights. Taking tonight off and will do something tomorrow
Any goals for next week? Same as usual - 4-5 work outs.
GTKY: What was a nutrition “win” this week (i.e. meal planned/increased veggies/puked less from MS)? My diet is slowly going back to normal and I have fewer aversions. Although tonight all I could handle was buttered noodles. Hoping to go back to salads and lots of veggies soon.
Workout videos on youtube. I was supposed to go to a couple yoga classes but didn't make it due to being so tired. I'm trying to go easy on myself because this was how it was with my first pregnancy. Once I got 13-14 weeks I started working out daily again because I felt so much better.

Kinda answered above
Any goals for next week?
Do more strength based training and also incorporate some more yoga/stretching in even if it's at home.

I had lots of beans and lentils. I need to scale back in the prepackaged foods though because I feel like I'm getting way too much sodium! Also the food aversions have kicked up

How did you do last week? I made it all 6 days. Barely.
Any goals for next week? For next week and going forward, learning to give myself some grace. If I am exhausted, TAKE THE DAY OFF. I need to remind myself that I am growing another human being and taking a day (or two) off in a week is not going to undo a years worth of hard work.
GTKY: What was a nutrition “win” this week (i.e. meal planned/increased veggies/puked less from MS)? I managed to keep my protein shakes down this week. I have been sticking to vanilla protein powder, unsweetened almond milk and LOTS of blueberries. Chocolate protein powder and chocolate in general makes me want to gag which is odd considering I was a choco-holic prior to getting pregnant.
@emiliadkay Great job on the salads! And I get that. I love fancy salads but I end up wasting so much money when I buy them for home. I never eat it fast enough before it all goes to waste. And sorry for the spotting, that had to be scary. Hope it never comes back!
@gomillis glad your MS seems to be improving. That long day sounds brutal but I’m glad you survived. I’m still waiting for veggies not to repulse me. Hope it happens for us both soon!
@samsonator This is the first time I’ve kept up working out in the first trimester. My two previous pregnancies I took a break until second trimester. The exhaustion Is real. You gotta listen to your body. A lot goes undone around here lately because my energy is zapped from my workouts.
@mommy2boys87 You seriously amaze me with your determination. You’re one strong momma. Hope your puke-less streak continues!
How did you do last week? I was traveling (for fun), so I didn't work out as much as I could've, but I did get in a couple of spin classes before I left.
Any goals for next week? I'll be traveling again (for work this time), & I always get in a lot of steps when I'm at my New York office. I'm also staying in a hotel that has a decent fitness center & one of those cool Mirror workout systems, so I should be able to keep moving while I'm away.
GTKY: What was a nutrition “win” this week (i.e. meal planned/increased veggies/puked less from MS)? While in Florida with a friend, I didn't exercise much, though I did eat pretty well (fresh fruit juices, oatmeal & granola, Brussels sprouts, salads), & I got a lot of sleep (in an awesome, comfy, king-sized bed!)
