So I'm just going to be honest.... The last week, I haven't even felt good enough to write my post about my fitness goals for the rest of my first trimester.  Scratch that.  I haven't even felt good enough to THINK about them.  Which stinks, because I'm a FITNESS COACH, and I feel like I'm totally failing at my JOB this week! So, I could sit around and be depressed about that (not gonna lie...I was tempted to do that earlier today), or I could pick myself up, think about what I have done well, and keep working to stay strong and healthy! So, what have I done well? --WATER makes me NAUSEOUS.  So.  Very.  Nauseous.  And that's at best.  BUT...I know I need to be well hydrated, and I DO NOT want to drink sodas and gatorades all day long, so I have done my best to drink as much as possible. And honestly, I've done OK.  Baby and I are fairly-well hydrated and that's what's important. --I've been trying to stay as active as I can handle. ...

Written at 4 weeks & 5 Days Pregnant I've been really struggling with focusing on my fitness now that I'm pregnant. I mean, clearly, these abs are not staying, so why keep working on them?!?  But there's so many good reasons to keep this up!  It's just HARD to wrap my mind around the fact that my stomach is going to get BIGGER and not SMALLER!! The other day someone - who had no clue I was pregnant - suggested that I write out short term fitness goals. So then I found myself thinking, "How does one write out fitness goals for pregnancy?!" I decided to make them very short term...so for now my goals are through week...just four weeks and a day! Goal # 1 Use my 21 Day Fix program daily. 30 minute daily exercises. Try NOT to use the modifiers.  It'll make me stronger later when I HAVE to use them.  Goal # 2 Follow my 21 Day Fix eating plan with NO calorie deficit. I'm pregnant. This is not the time for cutting calories.  Go...
