Fitness
As far as fitness goes I’m starting to realize that I need some lower impact options. This week after my run my pelvis got super sore, which I read is common for runners but my doctor didn’t like it. She advised me to stop running, which I had a good cry about and then got over (#hormones). So as far as cardio goes, I’m very limited. Because sitting is one the one thing that aggravates my pre-existing low SI/tailbone issues, spinning and rowing can only be done for limited amounts of time. Walking uphill even for just a few minutes aggravates the hell out of my back so I’m thinking to try the Stairmaster again?
I’m also thinking about trying a prenatal yoga class my friend recommended, maybe a few bar workouts, and even swimming (which would require me to, unfortunately, switch gyms.) I’m still mostly doing okay with strength and interval workouts which makes me very happy. So I’m holding on to that for now.
Friday – 2.5-mile walk with Nala +
Saturday – 2.5-mile walk with Nala + Zumba
Sunday – OFF
Monday -2.5 mile walk with Nala + Run 2 miles
Tuesday – Upper Body Workout at home
Wednesday – 2.5 mile walk with Nala + started a workout, but my back felt really tight and wasn’t loosening up during the workout so I decided to skip it. Later that night I had some round ligament pain, so my doctor’s office advised me to take it easy the next few days.
Thursday – off
Food
Nothing too exciting as far as special meals, other than what I shared from Mother’s Day!

Friday Flashbacks
The Ymca and other communityish type gyms frequently waive enrollment during the summer and don’t have contracts, if you want to check out a gym with a pool for a month or two to see how you like it.
I did check out the YMCA and I was kind of grossed out, the facility was not very clean at all and the machines were ancient. However, I do need to check out the local community center because I really liked the one in Gilbert!
That’s disappointing, hope you find a good fit for ya!
I also had to stop running shortly into my second trimester due to pelvic pain. The stair stepper (the one that looks like a stationary escalator lol) was amazing for me. I used that a few times a week all the way up until I delivered!
