As tough as it can be, I love getting a Saturday morning work out in. Sometimes I don't want to go to the gym. Sometimes I don't want to do an exercise video. So what do you instead? Skip working out? Or mix it up a bit? I decided that I still wanted to watch tv but also exercise. I just did a combo of 15 min on my spin bike and some Insanity inspired exercises along with a few traditional things like squats, lunges and push ups. By the time I knew it I was done and had a killer work out. I'm feeling pretty happy. One of the things that has helped me continue to "keep fit and have fun" is to be able to exercise anywhere whether it's in the gym or with a video or cooped up in a hotel room or simply in the living room with a yoga mat and a desire to move!! If you wanted to work out today and haven't yet just get into exercise clothes now so it's easier to get that first step out of the way 😄

Feeling large and in charge lol. I'm a few days away from hitting 28 weeks aka 3rd trimester... The home stretch and definitely one of the more difficult parts of pregnancy. Where you feel too big. Things hurt. You p*e more often. Insomnia is a thing. Clothes never fit right. Ugh. But I got my pregnant butt in gear today and had a good cardio session. I was thinking omg I'm gonna have a baby in like 3 months. I don't want to struggle to lose the weight again. I guess I gave myself a pep talk so to speak. My workouts have been rather dwindling these days to 1-2x a week. So not great. But still managing thankfully. I do have to be more serious about it though. I need to stay active. I need to fight the pregnancy moods where everything in the world sucks. Today's work out felt energizing and I walked out feeling very happy. On that I look forward to more ass kicking exercising this week!!

Finally got my pregnant butt into the gym today after missing it for a few weeks. The at-home work outs are good and all but I'm definitely more of a gym gal.
I admit I'm actually way too tired to even write this post but let's review what my arms, shoulders and cardio day looked like.
With the cables, I did all with 3 sets of 10.. With lighter weights due to pregnancy
5 min warm up on treadmill then got started.
Tricep rope pull down - 25 lbs
Single arm pull down with handle attachment - 10 lbs each arm
Standing cable side raises - 5 lbs each arm
Standing narrow bicep curls with the bar -20 lbs
Standing cable upright rows 20 lbs super set with front raises - 10 lbs
Then sitting on a bench with free weights
Overhead single dumbbell extensions - 10 lbs each arm
Concentration bicep curls -10 lbs each arm
Finished with the ecliptical for 10 min and lots of stretching.
Basically that took me a solid hour which is all I had time for. My arms felt great after which is nice because I really can't go for the intense painful stuff when pregnant. The goal is to stay fit and not build any new muscle. Tomorrow I would like to hit the gym for a nice little leg day 😄

Yes. This is how it is today. Kyle is at the gym right now though. Good for him 😄 I'm being a supportive wife in his journey today

Today was a pretty fantastic day. Started off rough by trying to adjust to a time change.. spent the day in a meeting room for our national sales and marketing conference.. Now for the good stuff. My favourite part about these types of corporate events are the team building activities that we get to do after... I was pretty excited to go on a snowshoeing tour & fondue dinner. I knew I could handle it even being almost 5 1/2 months pregnant. But what I didn't know was what the terrain or conditions would be like. It started off all gorgeous.. Nice little afternoon with 20 co-workers on a beautiful mountains with snowshoes in hand and take the gondola up to the top. We learn it's a 5 km trek. Hmmmm can I handle this I thought? Like I know 5 km isn't "that" far but what's that like on snowshoes on a mountain. We hike for about 45 min and it was fine. Loved it the whole way. We do our fondue dinner in this cute little rustic hut on the mtn. Then it gets dark because apparently a fondue dinner takes almost 3 hours? Like seriously now... It took forever and I felt worried about getting down in the dark. I wasn't alone in this worry either. Then our guides hand us each a head lamp. Thank god we all thought. You could have mentioned this sooner haha. A few of my co-worker friends were like um Christina, how do you feel about this now? Are you ok? I said oh sure I can handle it but my mind was racing and wondering what the hell is going to be like to get down this friggen mountain. I had to fiddle with my head lamp because it sure didn't feel like it was working. My friend helped me adjust it so I could see. In fact we all struggled to figure out how to direct it at the ground so we see. I had someone help me put my snowshoes on because who are we kidding? My pregnant belly isn't kind to bending over to strap up snowshoes. Anyways we get motoring and it's very steep. Thankfully some flat parts but most of it was steep because we were heading down the mountain. I'm sure most people would have complained about the trek except they didn't and knew better. If a pregnant woman can do this, you better believe they can too and shut up about it! I really did enjoy most of the trek but my knees didn't care for the steepness. When we got down to the village, it was the most amazing feeling of accomplishment. What a wonderful moment... I would have kissed the ground but it was sloppy and slushy. What I didn't expect was my great group of co-workers who gave me an embarrassing round of applause for finishing the whole trip with a smile. And now it's time for a bed.. It's late and I need to get up early for another meeting!!!!

You know how some days you have all the energy in the world and some days you don't? Today I don't. I actually legitimately feel hungover without having a drop of alcohol. I'm not going to work out today and I'm ok with that. Yesterday I had a killer chest, back and cardio day. I had all the gusto I normally do (and did before pregnancy) but today I feel like I stayed up late and played poker. Wait.. That is what I did lol. Anyways, tomorrow is a new day and I will hit the exercise bike at the very least. Hope everyone is having a great day! Maybe get a work out in on my behalf since today is not happening for me 😄

On a business trip for the night. That's no excuse to miss a work-out! 19 weeks pregnant? So what. I just crushed my "hotel room circuit" all you need is motivation and a luggage bag
30 jumping jacks x 3
Running on the spot for 30 seconds x 3
10 lunges x 3
10 push-ups x 3
10 tricep dips off a bed x 3
10 luggage shoulder press x 3
10 each arm luggage bicep curls x 3
If you don't think that's much of a work out, why don't you give that a whirl and see how it feels 😄 not too bad for making due with what you have!

Today I hit the gym with a good ol' leg day. Included hamstrings, quads, calves and glutes! Finished off with 10 min on the eliptical then stretching. Lots and lots of stretching. It's amazing how stiff and sore you get while you are pregnant.
I didn't really feel like going to the gym today but luckily I have a husband is able to know how and when to push my motivational fitness buttons. Happy Valentines day lol 💜. It used to bug me when he would ask if I'm going to the gym. Now it's something I don't mind because he knows I actually truly want want to go even if almost feel like staying in my pajamas all day haha.
So cheers to all the little ways you can find motivation to get your lazy butt in gear 😜
