1. My main workouts - 3 runs and 2 lifting - went well. I also went for a couple walks at lunch. I'd intended to go for a short bike ride after work one day but wasn't feeling up to it.

I'm still doing a bad job with desserts though. I really need to cut down, which, let's be realistic, probably won't happen until after my birthday next week.

2. Run, lift, walk, maybe a bike ride on the weekend. No more than one dessert per day! Even that is a lot, but at least it's better than the last few days.

3. Just planning ahead. Have almonds and larabars available for snacks. My standard hotel breakfast is eggs, yogurt, and fruit.

4. I'm in the second trimester now, so I'm hoping my energy level picks up.

1. Exercise was A+, got in all my workouts and 10k steps a day. Eating wise I had 4 A+ days and 2 Cs. Is that a B+ average? could be better.
2. Workouts are kinda mess because of work travel. I'm hoping to keep up on my steps and do some yoga. Do better with eating (hard with work travel!).
3. Having lots of snacks with me. Planning out my dinner and lunch ahead of time.
4. I'd love the 10 lb weight fluctuations to stop. I can't tell if the scale is actually going up or I'm just retaining water.

1. How did last week go? Got all workouts in. I DID have to improvise on Tuesday's cardio day. Instead of Elliptical, I had to walk around the neighborhood. DH was spray painting in the garage and it was too intense to stay in there.
2. What's your plan for next week? Follow the same fitness plan.
3. Any tips for exercise and eating well on the run? Pack your lunch. I have to be diligent in planning times to eat with my busy work schedule.
4. Randoms/vents/AWs: Not really

1. How did last week go? Good! I had to miss two days of workouts that I was hoping to get in, but I still got in 4 days of workouts...
2. What's your plan for next week? The usual: Monday evening hike, Tuesday and Thursday crossfit, Wednesday/Fri/Sat Run
3. Any tips for exercise and eating well on the run? I keep snacks in my car.
4. Randoms/vents/AWs: Had my first "run" since being pregnant that felt somewhat ok! No cramping and I was able to go longer distances before stopping for a walking break. I literally feel like I am starting to run for the first time, it feels so weird!

I haven't done ANYTHING workout-wise in several weeks, but now that I am feeling better, I'm going to get back at it this week!

I had been lifting with a trainer prior to my little hiatus. Going to work out with her on Wednesday and Friday morning. Will hopefully get a run in outside this weekend too.

I did ok last week. Ate healthy for the most part, so that was a plus ...and made it to yoga. I really wanted to get in 2-3 nights of yoga(maybe this week)...I did do more basement purging, so at least I was active most days.

Tips - bring lunch and snacks to work and meal plan.

After yoga last week I felt really good. Less bloated than I have since this pregnancy started. I think finally feeling well enough to chug water here and there has made a huge difference!

1. How did last week go?

Food wise great (yay Spro.uts for double ad Wednesday to stock up on fruits). Exercise not so well. My back and hips hurt a lot so I've been trying to stretch out the muscles. Walking hurts and I have to walk with a bit of a limp on one side. I'm not sure if it's my arthritis acting up in my back or potential sciatica that my doctor mentioned as a possibility.

2. What's your plan for next week?

Yoga stretching in the specific painful area, and walking slowly to at least get the muscles/joints moving.

3. Any tips for exercise and eating well on the run?

Take the stairs, not the elevator, if you can and opt for a burger low-carb style (wrapped in lettuce) wother a side salad or a wrap. Also, snacks in your purse (eg. granola/protein bars)

Mostly I just want this pain to be more manageable. I feel so stiff like an old lady, and going up the stairs to bed makes me just want to sleep on the couch.

1) I did amazing with my fitness. Since getting a positive, I have averaged over 16k in steps per day. Even when I have been tired, I have been telling myself to get out and take a walk and be active. My goal is 10k throughout the pregnancy so getting more in now will allow me to achieve my overall 2.5m step goal for the pregnancy. Food, I could have done better. I have been meal planning, but I did ear out a few times.

2) I bought a workout video and I am going to try that for something different. PgAL brain is keeping me from being really active. If I like it, I am going to decrease steps to 10K and do a segment per day. I am going to continue to meal plan.

3) I try to park further away when I am pregnant, so I stay active, especially towards the end. Eating more protein in my snacks helps to sustain them.

1. How did last week go?
Last week was pretty good. Ended up getting a pedi and a massage on Saturday. Made it to prenatal yoga.Food was pretty good. Except that I just did my weekly weigh in and haven't gained anything but lost almost half a lbs. Not sure how that even happened...

2. What's your plan for next week?
I just got a Jawbow Up, so I am really excited about tracking my steps and stuff.
My left hip is bothering me. I don't feel the greatest health wise. But I just want to make it to yoga tomorrow.

3. Any tips for exercise and eating well on the run?
No tips from me. I'm pretty useless.

4. Randoms/vents/AWs
34 weeks today. That's all.
