How did you do this past week in terms of exercise and healthy eating?
AHAHAHA.

Seriously though, exercise-wise I did get in 2 runs (~1.5mi) and a 4mi walk, but otherwise I'm so tired and it's so hot out there's not a whole lot to motivate me.
Foodwise, I ate at CFA once and had canned soup twice for lunch last week. It's hard to be good when you only want salty foods.

What are your goals this week for exercise and healthy eating?
At least move around more. Maybe one of these mornings I won't feel so sick and can go for a run when it's cool out

What are you struggling with (fatigue, cravings, etc)?
Fatigue, craving salty foods, and M/S. All of these make a very unmotivated me.

What are you proud of/excited about?
DH gets home this week, which means I can go back to running once DS goes to bed!

QOTW: Are you concerned about gaining too much/not enough weight this pregnancy? If so, how are you managing?
Last time I gained too little and got yelled at by all the doctors, but my level of fitness is far from what it was last time and I think it will be harder to keep the weight off. I'm far more worried about possible GD than actual weight gain though (my mom's a diabetic and it scares me to death).

How did you do this past week in terms of exercise and healthy eating?
Doing pretty well on healthy eating, but because of travel and some family in town, I didn't get many workouts in this week. I did yoga once and we did a 10-mile hike on our camping trip, but I'm eager to get a good workout in today.

What are your goals this week for exercise and healthy eating?
Work out 5 times and eat as many delicious Michigan summer fruits and vegetables as I can before we leave! Next week we're driving across the country and moving back to California, so there will be 3 long car ride days, interspersed with a big hike we've planned in a national park on the way out there.

What are you struggling with (fatigue, cravings, etc)?
Definitely napping almost every day and craving carbs and larger portions, which I'm trying to watch carefully! All I wanted the last 2 weeks was fish and red meat and now I have a sudden aversion to any meat other than chicken. Skipping meat has definitely helped with the puking. My MS is still intermittent, but not awful - I only puke every few days, and even then, mostly when I'm really underslept or ate something really salty, fatty, or acidic.

What are you proud of/excited about?
I've stuck to a healthy breakfast every day, resisted dessert cravings for the most part, and am eating a lot of vegetables.

QOTW: Are you concerned about gaining too much/not enough weight this pregnancy? If so, how are you managing?
I started this pregnancy about 8 pounds heavier than the last one, but I've already lost a couple of pounds this month due to aversions and MS. Just making sure to eat at regular intervals and get a variety of nutrients, and as long as I don't gain or lose much in the first tri it should be ok. In the long term, I'm more worried about gaining too much weight during the pregnancy.

How did you do this past week in terms of exercise and healthy eating? I worked out maybe twice and I have been eating ok. I can't eat too much of anything.

What are your goals this week for exercise and healthy eating? Still surviving but trying to eat a bit more veggies and also maybe add in some at home yoga.

What are you struggling with (fatigue, cravings, etc)? Fatigue, MS, carbs are really the only appetizing food. Also when I do workout, I feel like it takes 2 full days to recover and I am not doing anything that strenuous

What are you proud of/excited about? Vacation starts Friday and I need it!!

QOTW: Are you concerned about gaining too much/not enough weight this pregnancy? If so, how are you managing? I am not. I don't think I have gained any weight yet, and I am almost 8 weeks, I am just planning on taking things as they come. It seemed like from the Expecting better that a bit too much emphasis is placed on how much you are gaining, I mean I don't want to gain a ton, but there is enough to stress about right now without that, I will worry about it later if need be.

How did you do this past week in terms of exercise and healthy eating? Not so well with the exercise. It is just sooooo hooooot here. I am a wuss.

What are your goals this week for exercise and healthy eating? If the weather cooperates I'd like to go for walks at least 3-4 times this week.

What are you struggling with (fatigue, cravings, etc)? Not being hungry for anything in my house ever.

What are you proud of/excited about? My weight is tracking very similarly to how it did last time. Crossing my fingers that continues.

QOTW: Are you concerned about gaining too much/not enough weight this pregnancy? If so, how are you managing? Concerned about gaining too much. I am tracking my weight and if I start seeing a gaining trend then I will reevaluate my eating choices and try to exercise more.

Not feeling too healthy these days. Lacking all motivation to workout and no appetite to eat I will push myself to gym 2x this week though.

How did you do this past week in terms of exercise and healthy eating? Ok. It's crazy hot here so only a few walks, but the healthy eating has been good. I've been going to the Farmer's Market every Saturday morning and getting lots of yummy fruits & veggies. Then I do as much prep/cooking as possible on the weekend so I can have easy healthy meals for the week. It's been working well so far!

What are your goals this week for exercise and healthy eating? Exercise more!

What are you struggling with (fatigue, cravings, etc)? Mostly just being too tired to go out in the mornings and it's too hot in the evenings. Is it fall yet?

What are you proud of/excited about?

QOTW: Are you concerned about gaining too much/not enough weight this pregnancy? If so, how are you managing? I'm worried about gaining too much. I'm 20 lbs lighter now than when I got pregnant with DD and I'm afraid I'm going to put it all back on and then some. I'm trying to watch my snacking (make healthy choices) and making sure that I eat regularly so I don't ever get overly hungry and eat too much. Of course my nausea usually kicks in before I get to eat too much anyway - yay nausea...

So I've been Mia from the gym for 3+ weeks now. I used to avidly go 2-3x a week and did 4-6x w the last pregancy. I've been exhausted and pukey so I've been skipping.

Goal is to go Thursday and Saturday this week and get back to normal.

I'm struggling w fatigue and puke. Can't spin while wanting to puke!!!!

I'm proud last pregnancy I was so super healthy and fit. I gained 35 lbs and was back to be pp weight and down 5 lbs 4 months later. I have gained weight back since but hey that's life!

I try and make good choices but first tri is all about survival for me. I'll eat less and workout more in the second tri. And I think this time I feel like whatever I did it before I can do it again?
