Fitness/ Health Check-In

[txngrl31]

How did you do last week?

if you aren't able to exercise or have little energy ( I think we are all in this boat), what are you doing to "try" to be healthy? 

Remember, housework, shopping, chasing around your toddler, eating a healthy meal, etc - it all counts!

I was able to fit in 5 days of exercise: 2 days of 30 minute outdoor hikes, 1 day of arm work out + cardio, 1 day of prenatal yoga + cardio, and yesterday, my husband and me took an hour long walk around town.

The exercise has really helped with my anxiety over labor/ delivery and the idea of having a c section. I feel like it's the only thing I can control right now. I'm definitely wore out when I'm finished though. Naps are essential these days!!

I'm a total failure this week. I didn't even make it to my race this weekend because my friend I was running with had something last minute come up.

Last week work was overwhelming with the amount of stuff I had to get done, but this week I just have hearings and a mediation so I'm hoping to get in a couple runs! And now that all my freezer meals are done I can go back to using that time for Pilates in the evening!

You are 9 months pregnant, don't feel guilty!! This is tough work on its own and you'll get back to your active self with a brand new mini workout buddy.

I've long abandoned the gym, but now that the weather has been warmer I've been trying to get out for daily walks with DD. I still won my Fitbit step challenge last week, so I'm feeling pretty proud given that none of the competition is pregnant.

Staying the course with two spin classes, ab & arm workouts and dog walks whenever weather cooperates.
But it's my job to do it, and I'm seriously worn out after every workout. Don't feel guilty! We're in the home stretch now.

Good Lord tatersalad - you're an animal!

Last week I did my 'hill walk' twice. Once, I went up the steep hill which was way tougher. However, the boy has dropped some giving me more lung capacity and making it totally doable. My calves were screaming, but we did it!
I also spent the weekend 'working'. I walked around the market for 2 hours, planted my planters at the front of the house, and put my new lumber/circular saw to good use. I built from scratch 8ftx6ft wooden shelving for my basement and proceeded to purge/clean like it was my JOB. That totally counts as working on my fitness right??
