Back at it!

So, according to my Wii Fit, I am hovering around the same weight, no gain, no loss.  Which I think is great considering I haven't done any exercising in the last 2 1/2 months and I am pregnant and hungry all the time.  Anyways, just finished a yoga session with the kids on the Wii Fit and it felt great to stretch.  It reminded me of how good it felt to be working out regularly.  So, I will be slowly getting back into this week and hopefully by next week no longer worried about pulling anything.  I will be adding some strength training on Wednesday along with the yoga and then maybe add the running and boxing on Friday.  We'll see how it goes.  I am just happy to feel stretched out again.  I have got 8 more months of being pregnant and I would really like to weigh a whole lot less than I did with my first two pregnancies.  Plus, my doctor said I would recover from my c-section faster and I will definitely need that with 3 kids.  So, feeling like I have had some good breathing going on again and stretched.  I also found this book at the maternity store, called, The Buff Mom's Guide to Pregnancy.  I will be incorporating those exercises into my week as well, because it gives me more great ideas for using my awesome work out equipment I got for Christmas.  I am so excited and invigorated now.  Why did I let myself get so lazy?  Keep it Fit people!

Has died...

The journey to fitness has died for the moment.  The first trimester in a pregnancy is always grueling.  With heartburn, already, ugh!  and the exhaustion by 8pm, I have no motivation to work out.  There are days where I feel tight and know I should be at least be doing my yoga on the Wii Fit, but I have allowed myself laziness.  I have only 4 more weeks left in the first trimester and I am excited for that second wind.  My goal is to AT LEAST, get started doing Yoga next Monday!  I need to feel a little more limber.  I guess knowing how tired I already am and knowing how tired working out makes me, does not seem appealing right now either.  So if I do stretching so that my muscles don't get all tight, by the time I get my second wind, the kids and I will be dancing around again and doing our exercises.  I need to be healthier this pregnancy, not that I wasn't with my others, but I am still heavy and it is going to be killer if I don't work on this and really be dedicated.  Luckily, I have my kids who love to copy mommy's work out so it makes it a fun time we can share together.
