Re: Health & Fitness Checkin w/o 1/18
goals: to stay active and gain minimal weight if possible. I lost 70lbs 2 years before this pregnancy and really wanting to not just let it go. Goal is to workout 5 days a week until I deliver!
current successes: that I am alive 😂 this is my third baby and I had some minor nausea with my first two...this one has totally kicked my butt. I vomit multiple times a day and have went to prescription nausea meds just so I can go to work (labor and delivery RN, night shift). I went from working out 6 days a week to nothing for the last 5 weeks. I have tried to take walks but it only results to puking. But this week, I have actually worked out 3 times. So I’m calling that a win. Was it a good workout? No. But it felt good moving my body a little bit.
challenges: has been the nausea and vomiting. Also, I am SUPER competitive and do CrossFit. So I’ve gone to the gym and watched the girls I usually compete with and I feel so weak now after not lifting anything for 5 weeks and I’m jealous of them moving. But I know it’s worth it and I’ll get back to it once I meet this babe 💙
Questions: anyone else into fitness? Any crossfitters here?? I am not like hardcore. I’m still a little fluffy but I was pretty dedicated for several years haha
I used to be very into fitness as a college athlete and then did a triathlon...then got really lazy lol. Recently got back into it through the Peloton app, but nausea for the past two weeks knocked me out of the game. Finally got a workout in this morning for 20 minutes that was moderate and it felt good.
What are your goals throughout your pregnancy?
-Stay active and try to work out at least 3-4 days a week
-Drink more water and make healthy food choices
What current successes have you accomplished?
-This week, for the first time in two weeks, I did a 20 minute cycling workout! That was a sad, but huge accomplishment
-I also ate a healthy dinner and breakfast
What challenges are you facing?
-Nausea and fatigue hit me hard at 6 weeks and knocked me off the workout wagon. Hoping to get back on soon.
Questions/Rants/Raves:
How far along are you? 8+1
What are your goals throughout your pregnancy? continue eating vegan/ WFPB. stay as active as possible. start going to the chiro this pregnancy so I don't end up in so much pain i can't do anything. the radicular low back pain killed me last time, i could barely walk much less work out.
What current successes have you accomplished? i thought i would crave dairy like i did in my other pregnancies, (and i really didn't want to go back to eating dairy)... but i don't, at least so far! i actually crave salad, which is the weirdest thing. i couldn't even look at a salad with my other ones.
What challenges are you facing? all day/ night nausea, fatigue, and the headaches! oh, the headaches. if i can get a stretch "workout" in i'm winning that day. anything with jumping or fast movements brings on the throbbing in my head even worse.
Questions/Rants/Raves: I struggle to find at home workouts in pregnancy, and i looked at the ones by Obe fitness and Beachbody and am super excited to try them!
What are your goals throughout your pregnancy? just to move consistently lol i have been such a potato throughout this first trimester because i just felt so terrible
What current successes have you accomplished? i have worked out 2 days in a row finally, just 20-30 minute pre-natal pilates videos but they were much more challenging than they appeared! my goal is to do a video every morning and go for a walk most days
What challenges are you facing? just consistency and accepting that something is better than nothing so to do SOMETHING regularly. i am very all or nothing, i hiked for a living part-time before this pregnancy (backcountry hiking in very sketchy remote areas, not something i feel safe doing) so i have been sad about being benched from that, i stopped going to my crossfit gym because i felt so sick and covid cases are sooo high here in socal, so i need to feel satisfied with 20 minute pilates if that's all i can do. luckily it was hard enough!!
Questions/Rants/Raves: i just started my subscription to melissa wood health and so far so good, i saw her using 1lb weights and thought that was unnecessary at such a low weight but omg i was wrong pilates is no joke!
