Did you make any changes last week? Were you able to stick to the goals you set yourself?
I was able to eat more fruits and vegetables, definitely. And keep drinking water, except for when I got to the weekend. But didn't do as much yoga as I should have.

Thing you are finding it hardest to do that you know you should be doing:
Exercise. I hate exercise. I know I need to get moving, so yoga is a must tonight.

Any short term goals for this week?
Yoga yoga yoga. I'd go for evening walks if it wasn't so damn cold.

Since I'm having issues with acidity, and I know I need to eat fruit, here is a link for those of us that want a cheat sheet on fresh product that won't upset our tender tummies.

Did you make any changes last week? Were you able to stick to the goals you set yourself? The puppy and I got back into walking in the past couple weeks. I try to get her out at least 4 days a week (she has other opportunities for exercise) and it keeps her happy and I really enjoy our walks.

Thing you are finding it hardest to do that you know you should be doing: Food. I'm seriously struggling to eat anything other than sprite, potatoes, and chicken.

Any short term goals for this week? I need to make sure that my dinners are healthy because that seems like when I can eat more variety. I also plan to walk even though it is so cold out.

Think I'll join you ladies!

Did you make any changes last week? Were you able to stick to the goals you set yourself?
I've been trying to lose the last 3 lbs of pregnancy weight from DD. I don't think this is going to go well now that I'm KU so just going to keep chugging along.
Thing you are finding it hardest to do that you know you should be doing:
Nothing yet.
Any short term goals for this week?
Make my 10k steps per day, drink water, and hit the gym a few times.

Keep up with any activities that you were doing before being pregnant. I don't think it was luck that I had an easy labor and easy recovery - I'm chalking that up to the fact that I stayed fit throughout DD's pregnancy.

Noting particularly hard right now.

Any short term goals for this week?
I'd like to feel well enough to go to yoga a few times. macaronmama , do you do yoga at home or at a studio? What are you modifying if anything? I think I heard that pregglies aren't supposed to be doing twists, but it feels so good I don't want to have to quit those.

@kitchen, if you do twists, they should be the opposite direction you would twist in so you'll be doing the opposite of the rest of the class. I don't think you need to worry about that until the 2nd tri though (from what I recall).

Made it to the gym 4x last week. Will probably be 3x this week. Doing better on going to bed before 2 am.

LOTS of water.

@kitchen, I don't go to a studio - I do it at home. And I've only just started, so I'm keeping to more gentle/calming sessions with a few more typical yoga types thrown in there occasionally. I have no time to get to a gym or anything because of my commute (1 hr in the morning, 2 in the evening) so I gotta do what I can at this point.

I thought I'd have more time to get a regime going at the start of the new year but I guess my body had other plans.

Did you make any changes last week? Were you able to stick to the goals you set yourself? I only got my BFP on Sunday, so don't have any pregnancy related goals to follow from last week. Definitely will for this week though!

Thing you are finding it hardest to do that you know you should be doing: Drinking water! I always have a hard time with this, pregnant or not. Today, I had 2 cups of coffee (one decaf) and no water until dinner. 

Any short term goals for this week? Definitely want to drink more water this coming week. I remember how dehydrated pregnancy makes me... I need to start the habit now!

Give us a pregnancy health tip if you got one! Walk as much as you can to get easy exercise in! This is definitely easier for people in urban areas, but if you can, try to get out and walk every day. It won't seem like much, but it will go a long way in the end!
