[zcookiemonster]

Physical Activity
M: Light lift
T: 4 mile stroller walk
W: nada
Th: 2 mile stroller walk
F: nada
Weekend Goals: hopefully some walking

Challenges this week? I haven't been able to get into the gym and even walking outside is so hard for me. The heat is literally sucking all life out of me, I get so so sick afterwards. But I really feel like I need to get my blood pumping!

Weekly gratitude: Big certification test at work this week and I passed and its done so I am so happy to be over with that!

QOTD: What are you drinking this pregnancy? Getting enough water? I am having a really big problem drinking water...it makes me feel sick. I'm loving lemonade and gatorade that I mix with water. But I don't think I am getting enough.

Physical Activity
M-F: I went on long walks on Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday. and I did a little bit of swimming on Thursday.
Weekend Goals: go on one walk on Saturday (it's my weekend to work so not much to do besides sleep and work)

Challenges this week? Exhaustion is back and I'm just so freakin tired. Also, the heat/humidity is just so intense I hate being outside.

Weekly gratitude: my DH. He's at the right level of urging me to go on walks but not pushing me to the point of annoying me also, the nausea is almost gone. Just randomly hits. Which is nice after the constant awfulness I had those 3-4 weeks

QOTD: What are you drinking this pregnancy? Getting enough water?
Yes, even DH noticed I've been drinking a lot more water bc he keeps having to refill the water pitcher more often! I've also been drinking a lot of lemonade this week. Been craving it like crazy.

Physical Activity
M- little walk
T- little walk
W- nada
Th- little walk
F- little walk

Weekend Goals: try to get out and walk more.

Challenges: I've been ridiculously dizzy and lightheaded this week and any movement is hard. Hoping it ges better really soon!

Weekly Gratitude: That in-law visits are done for awhile- hopefully untik November. Big kudos to DH for keeping my balanced and literally upright.

QOTW: All I drink is water or lemonade. I try to get 4-5 big glasses a day, between 64 and 76oz. Must buy a new Brita pitcher...tap water sucks.

Physical Activity
M-F: Not much honestly. The nausea and heat combined are making it really hard to get outside. And time was not on my side this week regarding the gym.
Weekend Goals: Walk a bunch with J and run errands/push a cart all over the place.

Challenges this week? Nausea and heat. And general time constraints. Excuses basically

Weekly gratitude: This is the first week where I haven't puked!!!

QOTD: I'm forcing myself to drink at least 8-10 glasses a day, but it's contributing to the nausea for sure. If it's ice cold it's easier to drink. My other go-to's are lemonade and Gatorade but I try to limit them to one or two a week.

Sorry I'm late.. long 12 hour shift today!

Physical Activity
M-F: I did bodyworks Monday and Thursday. The instructors did a lot of weights and not so much cardio so it was awesome. I can't handle cardio right now.
Weekend Goals: Unfortunately my entire weekend is dedicated to getting the house ready for photos and showings so I won't be making it to the gym. But cleaning the whole house has to count for something, right?

Challenges this week? None really. I would have worked out on Wednesday too but I didn't have a babysitter and the gym daycare always makes B sick!!

Weekly gratitude: Finally feeling a bit better. I still can't get through the day without a nap but I'm so thankful B has been taking a good nap right about noon. Perfect nap time for me too!

QOTD: What are you drinking this pregnancy? Getting enough water?
I try to drink about 100oz of water a day. I've added in Crystal light lemonaid and decaf iced tea for when I'm sick of water.

Crystal light lemonade is my jam right now!! I know it's sugar but it's helping me drink so much water, I don't even care about the sugar part, haha. (Until I get gestational DM lol 😣)

M: long walk
T: 2 mile jog
W: long walk
Th: long walk
Fri: long walk

I was on vacation so my mom and I walked to the park with DD in the stroller every day! About 2.5 miles round trip. Glad I did something but ready to be back to get to the gym!

Weekend goals: get to the gym tomorrow morning, also clean my house!

Challenges: my moms home cooked meals all week...ate so good, but so much!!

Weekly gratitude: happy to have had an awesome week off, but also happy to get home and see DH.

QOTD: mostly water, 1 coffee a day, chocolate milk.

I'm finally able to participate! Woohoo! I did absolutely nothing for the past 2 months.

Physical Activity
Monday: Short swim
Tuesday: Nothing
Wednesday: Short swim
Thursday: Nothing
Friday: Nothing
Saturday: Yoga

Weekend Goals: Swim both today and tomorrow.

Challenges this week? I've been super busy so finding time to do something. Walking and other cardio is still off the table for now.

Weekly gratitude: The nausea is starting to get better so I'm able to start moving a bit.

QOTD: What are you drinking this pregnancy? Getting enough water? I'm thirsty a lot. I'm drinking a good amount of water. I'm craving lemonade too but I haven't had it in a couple of weeks.

[shellbell]

Physical Activity
M-Th: 10,000 steps and 30 active minutes
Friday: swimming (with toddler but still a decent workout)
Weekend goals: taking it easy because of spotting

Weekly gratitude: so thankful that my parents immediately canceled their weekend plans when I called yesterday. They came up to support me and to watch DS so DH could go with me this morning.

QOTD:
Probably not. I should drink more water but I have a hard time with it in the morning. Usually I'm not really thirsty until evening. I've been drinking a lot of fizzy water and lemonade as well.

Physical Activity
M-F: walked 3.5-4 miles everyday except Monday (home with kids) and Friday (ride home from MH after massage). It's all transportation for me and the squirts.
Weekend Goals: I wanted to at least not feel like crap this weekend. Saturday was kind of a waste... at least it felt like it. I got a good nap, though. Sunday I accomplished things around the house while the babies napped and after one woke up! I was so happy to actually do something useful. It feels like the first time I've really been useful around the house in a couple of months.

Challenges this week? DH is laid up with bone chips in his right knee. Walking is very painful for him, so I have to do most of the childcare again. Most of my exercise is worked into my day as transportation to and from daycare and bus stops.

Weekly gratitude: I am grateful that the weather has been cooler over the weekend. It was actually nice to get outside instead of stifling.

QOTD: What are you drinking this pregnancy? Getting enough water? I'm definitely not drinking enough water. It makes me sick. I try other things like fruit punch, lemonade, etc., but I have to limit that too because of acid content. It'd just make my acid reflux worse. What I really need is some good, unsweetened, decaf iced tea.
