I’ve totally fallen off the wagon for this, but please, don’t watch as I try to get back on. Remember, I am 23 weeks pregnant!
During two of the past three weeks I’ve been able to stick to my goals and stay on track with exercise. I’ve either walked 1 mile or done about 20 minutes of Pilates on four out of seven days. The other weekday is housecleaning, and this pregnant mama can’t do both. I tried—the chores don’t get done because I’m all wore out! During one week we had 3 days at a hotel with a pool, and I loved having my workout in water!
Now for the true confessions…I’ve done nothing this week. There, it’s out. Reason—we’ve been staying up too late watching the Olympics and I can’t get up early enough to exercise and begin school. I think most of our favorite events are done now, so hopefully this week will go better than this.
At my monthly prenatal visit this week, my weight was about the same as last month, which shows me that the regular exercise was helping me control the weight. I haven’t really been “eating for two” this time. I don’t have time to stop and eat! Keeping fruit around and drinking lots of water has replaced some of the bad eating I’ve done in previous pregnancies.
Baby bump picture coming soon…
