Tuesday Excercise

Good Morning Everyone,
Sorry I have not been on boards for a couple of days but I have been eating right and excercising. I did my hour on the Elliptical and will be walking on my lunch. I have gained 7lbs so far. I am 4 months along. YIKES. I know I am a total wreck but I was bouncing between 5lbs but I digress I guess it goes with the territory. Anyway what is everyone else doing to move today?

will head to the gym again tonight for a short work out probably treadmill

45 minutes on the elliptical, 3.5 miles, 925 calories, 1 ferocious stink

The plan right now is one hour of Zumba followed by about 20-30 minutes of strength training.  My back was hurting last night, and it feels better now but if it's hurting again later I think I will forget the Zumba and opt for swimming laps instead.  We shall see...

a long walk
strength training with resistence bands

Well, ok... STILL couldn't feel my thighs this morning, but went for a mile and quarter walk anyway.  Figured if i didn't, I wouldn't be able to move later.

Also can't really lift my arms too well, but will do a round of cardio boxing later to help with that.

This "trainer" thing is gonna be painful, I can see!

And Shilpa, don't worry about the weight gain.  You're doing the right things, moving and eating right, and you're at a great starting weight.  The baby needs resources in order to grow and develop, and those resources do increase weight.  It's all ok.  I've read that in the first 4 months your body makes 50% more blood volume in order to support the baby... think about how much all that extra blood weighs!

Today is a recovery day for me. Back at it tomorrow.
