Okay, so the first step is to set my goals. Obviously first and foremost is to come away from this pregnancy with a healthy baby, preferably born naturally (no drugs). That will be an easier task for a healthy and fit mommy.
But, what else do I want? Last time I gained over 60 lbs; I don't want to do that again. I know that my body will gain what it needs to... so my goal is to eat healthy. What does that look like? Well, I want to get all the nutrition my body requires to grow this baby, nurse my current baby, and have some energy left over for me. I want to stop eatting when I'm full. Last time I grazed throughout the day and I think that is a good way to go, but I need to watch the type of foods I'm grazing on. Fruit, not chocolate. Whole grains, not chips.
I've managed to start seeing some muscle definition in my arms. I'd love if I could keep that. Or at least keep the muscles present so they're ready to re-emerge later. I want to stay strong in general.
My workout goal is to get at least 30 mins in 5-6 days per week. I plan on using Power 90, the Shakeology workouts, a couple of the P90X workouts that I really like, and eventually the Yoga Booty Ballet Baby on Board.
Once nice weather hits I want to take Isaiah for walks. It will be a balance, as I'm already warm a lot of the time. Summer may kill me with the heat. I'm currently deciding if I want to sign up for the Lincoln 1/2 marathon in May. I'll be about 6 months along. I think I'll still be able to walk 13 miles, if nothing else. And people will probably let me cut in the portapotty lines. My hubby is doing the full marathon... so I'm thinking that if I can finish the 1/2 in the time it takes him to do the full I'd be doing pretty good.
