I was what a doctor would call obese for the last 7 years after 2 kids being a single parent working 2 jobs and trying to go to school. I wasn't making the healthiest choices and working out was unimaginable on top of it all. I became a stay at home mom and I was working on a healthy lifestyle when I found out I was pregnant. I was about 4-5 months into the journey and mostly inconsistent with healthy eating but on track with working out. (healthy eating habits is my weak point) I was working on changing that when we were surprised with the pregnancy. I had horrible morning sickness until about 20 weeks and pretty bad nausea that happens even today. I ended up loosing about 10 lbs in those first 20 weeks because I wasn't able to keep anything down. I am starting to feel better, eating healthier and even got a workout done today.
My Healthy Pregnancy Goals
- Stay as active as possible which includes one of these a day
- jogging/walking 3-5 miles
- 21 day fix workouts
- lifting weights
- swimming
- yoga or pilates
- Healthy Eating
- I cut out all bread/gluten (it makes me almost instantly nauseous)
- Eat every 2-3 hours
- Drink at least 100oz of water a day
- Get the correct amount of fruits/veggies a day
