Wait rewind... I understand those things but that doesn't mean that I have to completely give up on myself! So these last 10 weeks I am determined. I know there may not be a ton of change that comes from this but I am not going to just let myself go the rest of my pregnancy. I am going to be much more strict about my diet. Incorporating cheat days for when I am allowed to have sweets and using a moderate level workout program that my wonderful husband is going to help me implement.
I wrote out a bit of my statistics that I felt were necessary to understand in order to reach my goals.
68 days until my due date
My pre-pregnancy weight was: 134lbs
My current weight (30 wks pregnant): 157lbs
My current workout routine: No weights and occasional walking
My current diet: No real restrictions, I eat what I want. I have to admit I usually have something sweet each day :(
My new workout routine will vary but hopefully I can focus on my thighs and arms.
My new diet will be eating clean (fruits, veggies, beans). Also having a cheat day that I am allowed to have my junk food on. I would say it will probably be Saturday. (Yes, that is because of the donuts that they have at church) ;)
My workout plan today will probably consist of:
- Walking 20-30 minutes
- Strength Training
- Arms - Dumbbell curls, triceps overhead, triceps push-ups (on knees), forward arm raises and side arm raises
This may be a lot and over ambitious for my first workout back but I will try it and see how it goes. Hopefully I will be able to keep this up to date so I can track my progress.
- Legs - Forward lunges, squats, toe raises and some leg machines
- Back/Abs - Lay down side leg lifts (right and left). Hands and knees arm and leg lifts.
- Bike or other cardio cool down 5-10 minutes.
