I believe tomorrow this cold will go away. The day after my last post I decided to go for a walk-jog because I heard it is good for getting over colds, plus my pregnancy app tells me I need to workout. Seeing as I ran a full marathon in November and a Ragnar Relay in April, I see no reason to stop jogging. I did a slow 2 miles and felt absolutely amazing afterwards! Cortney and I consistently go to the gym every Wednesday with the hopes of adding more days. It never seems to work. We will do the elliptical for 20-30mins and then work our legs and arms. My favorite move is to grab the 10 lb weights in each hand, do a bicep curl as I go into a squat, then lift the weights over my head as I stand back up. Then lower my arms into the bicep curl as I squat, then lower my arms to my side as I stand back up. I feel like it works my whole body. I will possibly post a video in the future if I can figure that out. All in all I feel like it is a safe pregnancy workout move.
Yes, to facilitate the growth of this baby I do need sleep, but as my mom puts it, "pregnancy is a normal, healthy state". So as long as I feel okay, bring on the workouts and Ragnar Relays! This mommy is going to run for two.
Everyday I still wade up and think, "oh yeah I'm pregnant!" I feel so blessed to carry this sweet miracle.
When I do not post pictures I will post my meals. I read that it's good to keep track of what we eat so that we know we are getting enough nutrients, especially for the baby.
Food: Toast with peanut-butter, hard boiled egg, homemade bean soup, Greek yogurt, pizza, 6 bottles of water. Soooo... Not too great but usually I have a spinach salad for lunch I promise!
