Hello and happy Friday, all! I hope the week has treated you well! I feel like I have been a zombie all week. I have been absolutely exhausted. Guess that’s what two jobs and pregnancy do to you haha. I finally feel human today since I got to sleep in until 6! Yay!!
Anyway, as far as pregnancy goes, I am 28 weeks. Not too far away from meeting baby girl! Appointments are officially every 2 weeks at this point.
CHALLENGES:
*Exhaustion: If I lay down, I fall asleep. It is a painful tired most days.
*Acne: I sure do miss my nice, pre-pregnancy skin.
*Back pain: I am still having bad back pain, which makes even simple tasks so hard.
*Bladder pressure and cramps
*Itchy skin
Okay, enough complaining lol! Let’s talk positives!!
THE GOOD STUFF:
*Baby kicks: I love feeling her move!
*Seeing my belly grow: this was hard at first, but I love it now.
*Extra bonding with my husband.
*Getting our home baby-ready.
*We are so in love already!!!
FOOD THIS WEEK:
Broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken with a salad.
Whole wheat pasta with meatballs.
Ground beef, onions, mushrooms, and cream of mushroom soup over brown rice.
Pizza!
Food was so good this week and I saved money shopping at Aldi! Yay!!
WORKOUTS:
I have been taking it easy since my back has been bad, but I’m getting them in!
*Monday- barre video
*Tuesay-arc trainer
*Wednesday-a pregnancy lifting video
*Thursday-a lateral cardio machine
Today will be a barre video after work!
Well, there’s the update! Have a great weekend!!
With love,
Carly
