HI Sissy, I was also exhausted during my first trimester. I woke up about 7am - no shower - went to work and then came home and took a nap. Then I'd have dinner and go back to bed by 8:30 pm. The weather was beautiful and all I did was sleep; no workouts, no yardwork or housework, nothing...

Oh my gosh the babe pics are so cute!!!! Congratulations to you all. Melanie, my prayers to you and your family regarding your father. We lost a brother to the same thing a few years ago - he was stubborn though; never went to the doc until it was stage 4. Thanks for all your stories...

Thank you so much! These are great suggestions and links Thanks for the netflix tip too!

Awesome pic Liann!

Hello, Just wondering if any of you have an good Prenatal Pilates or Yoga DVD suggestions? I'm so afraid to buy one and find that it is way too easy. I'm not doing any impressive workouts right now (loaned my Imax 2 to my best friend until the big day), but I don't want to revert back too...

Good Morning all, Just wanted to check in on all of you. I haven't done so since you for several weeks (since you all welcomed me so kindly - sorry I"m such a slacker). Congratulations on the Twin babies Melanie! Denise (26 weeks and so ready....)

I'm a newbie Hello, Thanks for the invitation to the forum! Thank you also for the link to Cathe's pregnancy workout advice. So now I feel like a big slacker; I haven't kept up my routine of 6 times per week and I have been doing my "beginner" workouts instead of my usual more advanced...

Thanks! Thanks for the links!

sticky link Hi thanks for your responses! I took a look at the forum last night when I couldn't sleep - love those hormones. at the top of the forum, Cathe has a sticky with a link in it. the link doesn't work.... I was just wondering if it was advice etc on how to work out while...

Hi Cathe, I'm 41 and 18 weeks pregnant. Very stressed about losing all the strength I've worked so hard for. You have a pregnancy and postpartum forum, but the link on your sticky no longer works. Would love some advice on which workouts you did while you were pregant. I don't know if I'm...

That is so great! My cats like it when I'm doing chest presses on the bench - they walk by and drag their tails across my sweaty face or they try to lay under me while I'm doing pushups. such good helpers!

: ) If I could eat cleaner, I'd have zero fat on my tummy. Life is too short to deny yourself of everything, though. Everything in moderation - even pizza!

;) I agree - boys are good for getting the vinegar from the top shelf, but we could just get a step ladder. Thanks for the advice - I found a friend who is trying to "dejunK" and I think I'll get a good deal on the barbell. Hears to good health!

Hello all, I'm thinking of buying Gym Style legs and was wondering if I really need a barbell or if I can modify using dumbells? what are your recommendations? If I really need one, I really need one. (especially if I am going to do sts). I just have so much equipment in my little room, I'm...

drillmax I hate the drill with the ball - where you swing it back and forth and do the pendulum with it. bah! my arms want to fall off. But something in it makes me do it too. ;)
