Rest

Lots of rest lately, and so much for getting in my three workouts a week. Yesterday I came home and rested after getting ZERO sleep Wednesday night. I hope this isn't a trend.

Got more sleep last night, but then I overdid moving furniture at work today, so I had to come home & rest due to a bit of belly pain/cramping. It's really hard not being able to do all the things that used to be no big deal! I guess it's worth it though;).

Plan to hike a bit tomorrow while looking at a piece of land, so that will be fun!

CF Mom 3.19.10

I have been very bad and lazy this week. I ended up doing only a few sets of 10 air squats yesterday and that was my total activity for the DAY! Pathetic. I'm hoping next week has a better showing:).

I had planned to go bike riding for a little bit this weekend, but have since been told by a friend that pregnant women are not supposed to bike ride... ? I haven't been able to find any information stating this online, so I might just try it out and see how balanced I feel. It's not like I will be racing or anything, I'm just talking about a leisurely ride in my very safe, non-trafficky neighborhood. Or maybe I'm just being hard-headed.

Warm-Up:
5 min. walk/run
10 ring dips
100 single-unders
20, one-armed KB swings (15#)


CF Mom 3.19.10: Death By Pull-Up, Push-Up:
With a continuously running clock do the following:

1 pull up (subbing ring rows for all pull-ups) and 1 push up the 1st minute,
2 pull ups and 2 push ups the 2nd minute,
3 pull ups and 3 push ups the 3rd minute,
continuing as long as you are able.


Rounds: got to 9 of each, 8:46 on the clock

CF Mom 3.16.10 & IT'S A GIRL

Well, we had our 20 week ultrasound Tuesday and it's a GIRL (for sure this time)! It's great to have finally seen it with my own eyes and really enjoy the idea. Adam is absolutely thrilled, so that makes it fun.

I had planned to do this after the appt., but we went to dinner and I was too full after that to attempt this. Same situation last night. Now I'm getting behind on my March goal, so I'll need to workout Saturday (usually not something I find easy:).) I have asked Adam to get out my bike and get it all ready to go for me, so hopefully this is something I can start incorporating.

Warm-Up:
10 min. run/walk
10 Ring Rows
10 KTC's
10, 45# back squats


CF Mom 3.16.10: "Michaela" (Advanced and Intermediate)
For 12 minutes do:
250m row (subbing 100 single-unders)
9 push ups
9 lunges

Prenatal Yoga

I'm really starting to get worried about my weight gain. I was up 12lbs. this morning and my plan at this point in the pregnancy is to be up only 8! Got to get things back on track (without getting too obsessive about it)!!!

If I'm feeling good tonight, I plan to do some kind of walking (either on the treadmill or outside with a pup) and the prenatal yoga video I have. Hopefully by trying to do something active every day, upping my water intake, and cutting out soda & most of the junk food, I'll be able to get things in line with where I want to be. Of course, I realize that this could be a growth spurt (meaning, the baby needs it), but I want to make sure I don't let it spiral out of control.

Had a bit of a panic attack this morning when I got on the scale. :( This pregnancy weight gain thing has been the hardest part of the process for me!

CF Mom 3.11.10

I'm feeling good and frisky this week apparently:). Four workouts in a week! It's got to be the warm weather. I plan to get in a dog walk before the work-out, as well, but we'll see how the afternoon plays out.

Warm-Up:
10 5 minute run/walk
10 push-ups
10 ring dips
4, 30 sec. plank holds

20, one-armed KB swings (15#)


CF Mom 3.11.10: Intermediate
3 rounds of -
20 rope jumps
15 pull ups (subbing ring rows)
15 hang power cleans (45#)


Time: Untimed

This was a bit of a disaster. I'm just tired, I think, so my warm-up ended up being ALOT shorter than planned. That and I didn't time this because I was interrupted a few times by the dogs (my male boxer likes to try to "catch" the jump rope) and then the rope BROKE! I had to use my old one, which stinks, to finish it out. I did the three rounds of rope jumps & ring rows, then did the hang power cleans afterwards. I didn't feel like walking up & down the steps to do it in order.

Rest day tomorrow... with maybe a dog walk thrown in.

Baby Movement

I finally felt the baby move today!! I had a sugary drink and about an hour later, I could feel the little one moving around like crazy! I even felt a little kick which was about the coolest thing ever! I can't wait until the movement gets more regular and my husband can feel them as well.

Rest day today.
