Weekly fitness check-in?

[frecklesnbrains]

Hey ladies,

So now that some of us are out of the "I feel like ass" first trimester (sorry to those of you not there yet!), I feel like I really have no more excuses to be a lazy ass and need some motivation to keep moving.

Who's in?

What day should we have this? Wednesdays are busy. How about Fridays?

[virginiaorjohn]

YES I NEED THIS.
My exercise restrictions are lifted the Monday after Christmas! I need motivation to get back out there! I vote Friday.

[Flair Underwood]

I'm in... my time to workout has been NON EXISTENT for the past few weeks with DH's school schedule. But that's over this weekend - so I'm planning to get back into it. Except for this week, I've been able to get to the gym twice a week - but that's not cutting it. This week I can feel a difference in the back of my legs when I sit down or lay down in bed and it's killing me. Ugh

[manybellsdown]

Yep yep yep. Let's do this.

[frecklesnbrains]

yeah Flair Underwood, twice a week is about what I've been doing recently too (on a good week)... and I feel like a lump. I want to hike a mountain next week. Let's see how that goes!

[Kevinmac]

I need this! I need to get back to the gym.

[bgkc4]

I have been horrible about fitness since my bfp. I haven't even been for a walk around the neighborhood. I have a gym membership and haven't been once. I feel bloated and heavy all the time and I know a workout would help with that, but laziness has taken over. So I'm glad you're doing this. This might be just the kick in the butt that I need. I might not hike a mountain, but there is no excuse for me to be this sedentary.

[mymilkshake]

Yes! I was wondering where this thread went! I've been running about 3-4 times a week since 7 weeks. But man am I slow now. I try and do some strength stuff like push ups and planks and squats too. I asked H for some pregnancy Pilate DVDs for Christmas!

[mymilkshake]

Also I like Friday checkins for fitness.

[bighair12]

I have been walking but miss running!! I need this to stay motivated. Hopefully when this rotation is done next week I will have more time.

[Flair Underwood]

Good luck, frecklesnbrains!! I hope you get out and feel alive.

Also hi, I was avoiding this thread because even though I'm in second tri, I still feel like death and keeping up with a busy toddler is all the activity I can manage.

It's weird... I just logged in on TCF and it's my usual sn. Ignore me. I am inept.

[titania]

I'm definitely in! I just started feeling up for the gym again so I need motivation!

[cattuccino]

What are you talking about.

I still have tonnes of excuses.

(Clearly, I need this)
(And I have no day preference. Though earlier in the week might be more motivating than later...especially with holiday indulgent weekends coming up)

[ArgyleEnigma]

You all get on with your bad selves, I'll be rooting for you from the sidelines.

[ArgyleEnigma]

I did try to get back into my train and walk commute today, which I haven't done since ms started. The train ended up delayed for 45 minutes while police were called to removing a screaming, angry man. Then it was way colder when I finally arrived than I had anticipated, and my knee was hurting more than I expected from a bump on Saturday. I ended up getting a ride to and from the station.

The universe is telling me something but I don't know what.

Running around after a toddler TOTALLY counts!

Fridays are good for me because I can pretty much always fit in exercise on a weekend day. Weekdays can sometimes be tricky...

[mladerri]

I need this. Even with a toddler I need exercise. My back has been hurting a lot so it's been my huge excuse. I need to stop making excuses and get in there. My pt said to work on strengthening my core until 3rd trimester. I'm going to have a rock hard baby belly

So I forget where I used to check-in that did it this way but... On another healthy living check-in, there was a Monday thread where you posted your goals and a Friday thread where you followed up on how you had done that week. So that's an option as well.

[pbandj714]

As much as I want to ignore this thread and be lazy, I do need this. I've not really exercised at all since my BFP, especially when I was feeling crappy. Now that I'm feeling better I have been making sure to take the dog for a brisk walk every night, but I really should do more. My butt jiggles.

[frecklesnbrains]

Okay guys, prepare yourselves. We start tomorrow!

Yes. Starting tomorrow.

Right after I eat these chocolate covered pretzel rods.
