3) What are your goals for this next week?

4) ***and a fun QOTW: What type of exercise do you most loathe?

[kirabou]

Oof, I have been MIA here due to the perfect storm of stress (sickness, busy at work, scared to death/depressed over political climate, etc. etc.). Jumping back in. 


1) How have you been feeling this week?

I've been sick all week. Caught something from my daughter last weekend and it's been hanging on all week. Feel like crap. Plus add to that the general nausea of first tri, and it's just been... BLEH.


2) Did you achieve your goals this week?

Nooooope. Just nope. 


3) What are your goals for this next week?


Get back in gear with activity. 

4) ***and a fun QOTW: What type of exercise do you most loathe?
I just hate cardio in general. Makes me feel yucky, dizzy, etc. I have this suspicion that it's something to do with the fact that the effects of cardio workouts mimic some panic symptoms, and I have panic problems, so maybe it's that??? Lol. Nice excuse. But in any case, I'll avoid cardio at all costs. 

[caybeh]

1) I'm exhausted and have zero energy.

2) Did not reach my goals. Something came up every days and that I planned to go walk.

3) I'm setting an attainable goal. Exercise at least once.

4) I hate running.

[Deleted]

1) How have you been feeling this week? I've been feeling great actually. Just tired, but I'm always tired.

2) Did you achieve your goals this week? I think so...I worked out 6 days  but felt like I ate way too much.

3) What are your goals for this next week? Cut back on soda, keep at it, run from cookies.

4) ***and a fun QOTW: What type of exercise do you most loathe? I run a lot, but I really hate it. But, it is truly one of the best exercises because it costs no money and I can just step out the door and go so I just keep doing it. If I have to burn up 15 minutes driving to the gym and back each day, it totally kills my motivation because then I have to add an extra half hour to my scheduled work out time. I really hate doing burpees and mountain climbers.

[leviosa]

Unfortunately I haven't been to the gym since last Monday. The HFM just seems to be hanging around.

I have been feeling fine.

I failed at my goal this past week.

I am on pelvic rest for 2 weeks so I'm not going to be doing much during this time. Just taking it easy.

QOTW: I loathe lifting weights.

[sarenu]

1. Better this week.

2. Made it to the gym twice. Going to try a 5am this week.

3. Trying for 3 times this week.

4. I have a love hate relationship with jogging. But I hate treadmills.

[CK1]

1) How have you been feeling this week?
Meh. Pretty tired all of the time, nauseous most of the day, and super gassy/bloated in the afternoon/evening which of course is when I would be doing something active.

2) Did you achieve your goals this week?
I didn't even come close to achieving my goal for the week.

3) What are your goals for this next week?
Something I need to do and should be able to do even if I feel like crap after work: more water.

4) ***and a fun QOTW: What type of exercise do you most loathe?
All cardio

[salmon2017]

I guess I should answer my own questions!


1) How have you been feeling this week?
Much better, although not perfect. More energy and less nausea


2) Did you achieve your goals this week?
Well, yoga 3 times, and 5000 steps a couple of times. Not ideal, but I was on total rest till my appt on Wednesday


3) What are your goals for this next week?
Yoga 5 times, 5000 steps 6 days, and sex once!


4) ***and a fun QOTW: What type of exercise do you most loathe? I HATE weight training. I would run for miles and miles, no problem. I have decided that if I work hard enough at yoga then my body weight will give me enough strength training. I may be deluding myself.

[lightside]

Thanks again for your awesome organisational skills, salmon2017!

1) How have you been feeling this week? Not great. All day nausea hit me like a ton of bricks last weekend.

2) Did you achieve your goals this week? Not really but it was pretty good week. I did a so-so job of walking on rest days and I only managed two runs before the nausea really set in. But we also went for a good walk in the hills with the dogs so I'm happy overall because I can see that running is going to be tricky for the next few weeks!

3) What are your goals for this next week? 3 decent cardio sessions (jog, swim, hill walk, or brisk stroller walk, whatever I can tolerate). Hopefully I can scrape by with my fitness levels to still be able to jog a little bit in second tri if I feel like it.

4) ***and a fun QOTW: What type of exercise do you most loathe? I haven't done much road cycling for recreation but whenever I see someone grinding away up a steep hill in their little lycra jumpsuit, I'm pretty convinced I would absolutely hate everything about it.

[saltandvinegar]

Better late than never!

1) How have you been feeling this week? Better. Less nausea & more energy. Food still doesn't sound great but I am still needing to eat constantly.

2) Did you achieve your goals this week? Eh. Better. Fruits are good again but veggies just sound gross. I did cut back on junk food though.

3) What are your goals for this next week? 4 cardio workouts (run/elliptical), 2 weight workouts, 2 yoga workouts. I have been skipping yoga a lot lately.

4) ***and a fun QOTW: Weight training. I don't actually hate it when I'm in a class with others but I don't push myself when I'm on my own. I get bored & don't feel immediate results so it's hard to keep going.

On another wellness note: 48 hours till pelvic rest is over!!!!!!
