My Attempt at a CrossFit Pregnancy

My goal is to work out every Monday, Wednesday & Friday for now. I hope I can keep this up because the workout on Monday made me feel AMAZING! It's nice to be sore again after so long of slothery:).

We had our second check-up yesterday and had another ultrasound. It was awesome! The baby was swimming all around in there. It was so cool to look at. Heartbeat and size look great for where we are, so that was a relief. We announced the news to everyone yesterday and received tons of well wishes and support. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.

Oh, down another pound, so I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight today. I was a little low on calories yesterday, though, so I should go back up a pound or two if I can get the required calories.

Warm-Up:
5 min. walk
10 KTC's
10 Push-Ups

CF Mom: Intermediate
4 rounds
10 shoulder press #45
10 ring rows

Time:

Didn't do this Tuesday or Wednesday. Hopefully tonight (Thursday)?

I'm hoping to get in my first real work-out tonight. It's been about, oh, I don't know, 5 -6 weeks since I've done anything other than just push-ups, sit-ups or squats.

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and tomorrow is our second appt. with the OB. I'm hoping everything still looks normal/healthy. We'll start announcing to extended family and close friends this week if everything checks out. Exciting and scary!! :)

I'm up 2 lbs. as of this morning. I'm trying to ease back into paleo, so I'm hoping this will keep the weight down. My goal is 1 lb. in the first trimester, 6 lbs. in the second, and 12 lbs. in the third. That would give a total gain of 19-20lbs. for the pregnancy. Definitely ambitious:). But it's a place to aim.

Warm-Up:
5 min. walk
10 Ring Rows
10 KTC's
5, 45# shoulder press

"Reagan": Advanced
21-15-9
Push ups
Lunges
Hang power cleans #45 (12-9-6)

Time: 9:54

Phew, I am OUT OF SHAPE! I couldn't believe how out of breath I got so quickly. And my strength is sapped. The shoulder presses were very difficult as were the hang power cleans and I had to scale that back further.

Feeling good to actually have done SOMETHING physical today, though! I'm proud I was actually able to drag my butt off the couch:).
