As I sit here tummy growling with no idea of anything appealing I’d like to eat, I see that this pregnancy is going to require way more will power than I initially thought! My resistance program is going to have to take a back seat for now.
I feel soooo sick during and afterwards even with 5lb weights. It’s a bit too much for my body now. Even the Walk Away The Pounds Videos are becoming a challenge to complete, but I’ve been meeting my goal of 150 minutes a week of exercise minimum.
I thank God for those work out videos! They’re fun, and they’re easy enough, but at the same time challenging (I burn 150 calories per mile). Leslie also incorporates some upper body resistance band work, so at least I’m getting some toning in there. The walking is probably enough to keep my legs in shape (I barely gain weight in my lower body anyway). I’m also doing my Pilate’s for as long as I can (before I reach the end of the second trimester where I’m not allowed to lie on my back anymore) to strengthen my core and keep my belly in check. I may pick up the Lotte Berk DVDs too to get some more strength training in, or possibly attempt to order fluidity again.
The most important thing though is I’m still making decent food choices and exercising regularly, 2 things I did not do with my first two pregnancies. These two together should keep weight gain in check. I weigh in tomorrow, hopefully I stay at 161 for the next couple of weeks. Which reminds me, I figured out where the mysterious weight gain came from:)! My boobs! They inflated a couple of cup sizes in the last week lol. Back to granny bras I guess…Well, that’s all for now, off to attempt to find something palatable to eat that’s NOT 100% carbs lol.
Blessings,
