Sigh. I'm still a H&F disaster! I'm so out of the routine that I don't have planned workouts. But, I rode my bike (on the trainer) for half an hour on Sunday in an attempt to get back into the swing of things, and Tuesdays I'm now taking a prenatal yoga class, so progress!
My biggest vent is really just the tiredness. If I want to go for a bike ride on the weekend, I totally can -- I just have to be prepared to need a 2 hour nap afterwards. I don't have time in my life for workouts to take twice as long when you add the resultant nap to the time block. I'm just starting 2nd tri and hoping that lets up a little?
I'm trying not to beat myself up too much but I'm starting to feel pretty pregnant. I'm worried that I'll never recover my fitness post partum, even though I know plenty of people come back better and stronger post baby.
Haven't really stuck to my plans lately but trying to get at least 3 runs and 5 workouts total this week.
This whole post is mostly a vent, but I will AW the fact that I haven't had too much swelling yet and I'm crediting sticking with some semblance of a workout routine.
I really need to get back to walking. I'm still on restriction but I have not kept my steps up. I need to try to not deflate the bloat by laying around because it appears to not be going anywhere. Food wise, I'm on an all carb diet. Trying to do protein shakes with spinach at least once a day.
Add me to the train wreck group. I've really slacked on even getting out to walk the last few weeks. And it will probably stay that for the next couple weeks due to moving. Also, while I feel my energy is better than in first tri, its still lower than normal.
I've been lifting on the plan my trainer worked out for me. I'm getting bored though, so he's writing me a new plan and we're meeting Thursday to go over it.

I feel like I'm in such good company this week! Last week was just a disaster week in terms of fitness. Between not getting in my runs at work because of all the motions I had to write and not doing my pilates so I could get my freezer meals made, I totally took off.
This week I'm aiming to do better. I should be able to get a run in during the next 3 days at work and pilates the rest of the week.

I've been making it to the gym each night I plan, but the workouts haven't been as good as I'd like. Yesterday was the first good one in about a week.
In terms of vents, I'd set an arbitrary week (20) I'd like to make it to and still be able to do a pull-up. It's stupid, I know, but it took me until I was 30 to be able to do some and I'm afraid I'll never get them back. Anyhow, I'm down to one terrible one and I can see it's about to be gone.
My goal has been just to get there after work. I basically let myself do whatever I'm feeling once I'm there, because I figure some exercise is better than none.

I think I ran my last pre-baby run on Monday. Even with the run/walk combo I've been doing for a few weeks, it was just too much. I'll keep up with walking and prenatal pilates, but I'm sad about the running.
