Healthy Living 8/31

No changes here. I'm just not as disciplined with my eating as I was last time. But I learned last time that sleeping in did nothing for my exhaustion, so I've been much better about running and lifting.

It probably evens out and thanks to cutting out the booze, I am actually down to my lowest post-baby weight. But parenting a toddler sober should be outlawed.

I am SO panicked about gaining too much weight with this baby (starting out a size 12/14ish).

I'd been running a ton pre-preg, but it is incredible how much my pace has already changed. I went from running 10-12 minute miles depending on distance to 13-15 minute miles (because I'm now doing run/walk intervals).

I've been overweight for years, but I'd recently been making huge strides in running fitness. I dreamed of being the 'fit pregnant girl'. I was hoping to still run/walk my half marathon in two weeks (I was on track to CRUSH my PR before bfp). Now I have skipped my last two long runs, first week due to bleeding and second week due to a small amount of probably normal brown spotting.

Logically baby is way more important than running goals, but emotionally such a big change in my lifestyle so quickly has been rough. Then I feel guilty for being upset that running is so hard, since I've been hoping for this baby since waaaaaay before I became a runner.

TL;DR: pregnancy hormones and emotions SUCK

I have been consistently working out still... I switch my days between cardio and then strength .... I feel pretty good.
Waking up at 5 for the gym is pretty rough though and I feel dead exhausted by 12

Due to spotting last weekend, I only ran twice but managed a 10 miler that felt pretty good. Now to get my snacking under control! If I don't eat every hour, I feel nauseous.
