My Attempt at a CrossFit Pregnancy

Great Write-Up from Ryan Powell, "The USDA is going to kill us".

Well, I didn't ever end up doing the workout below. I plan to at least get my big butt on the treadmill tonight to walk for 10 minutes. We'll see if it goes anywhere from there. :) I hope I get at least some push-ups or a few KB swings in there as well, but I'm keeping my expectations low. I can't even remember the last time I worked out. Usually my afternoons consist of putting together baby gear and laying on the couch with my feet up praying that the swelling goes down:). Hello CANKLES! :)haha.

Feeling huge, but still really good. I'm 30.5 weeks now, and up about 28lbs. Well over my goal for this point in the pregnancy, but I've pretty much given up the idea of eating paleo while I have half of my husband's genes inside of me:)haha. It's funny, we both came home one night and confessed to eating fast food that day and it clicked! THAT'S why I'm eating like crap... it's the Adam in me now:). As soon as she arrives, it'll be back to strict paleo/primal so I can feel normal again.

Crazy hectic this month and I'm really looking forward to June. I plan to take it easy as far as activities outside of the home for the next two months. No more trips, no more busy, busy weekends. We've done the childbirth class, done the baby shower, now we just need to get busy on the nursery and doing all the crazy house-cleaning stuff that everyone always jokes about. :)

I'll update again once I do my walking this afternoon.

UPDATE:

10 min. walk on treadmill @ 3.5mph
20 air squats
20 one-armed KB swings, 15#
10 push-ups, knees down on parallettes
20, 1 leg lift to chest (subbing this as an ab exercise)

And I stopped there because I didn't want to overdo it:)haha

Well, Adam and I are taking our "babymoon" tomorrow to NYC. It should be a really fun and packed week! I'm so excited and yet, tired at just the thought. Hopefully we'll get in lots of walking and my sciatic pain won't kick in. It was really bad over the weekend due to sitting for 8 hours in a childbirth class. It has since backed off some (and I hope I'm not jinxing myself!!).

Back to a normal routine next week, I hope!

Tuesday is my next appt. with the OB. I am REALLY hoping we can find out the sex of the baby. Like I'm GIDDY with the idea of finding out. If my prediction/intuition is wrong, I'm sure it will take some getting used to.

But I was thinking today how let down I will be if I have to wait a whole other month to find out! DH cannot make it to this appt., so my mom & sister will go with me (isn't that awesome!). I'm sure the Dr. will really appreciate having an audience, but I don't care. Since hubs can't be there (& is very disappointed about it), I'm going to see if the Dr. or tech will write down the sex on the back of an ultrasound pic so we can find out together.

But what if the baby doesn't cooperate or if it's too early to tell? I know I'll be so disappointed. Of all the silly things to worry about, right?
