Pregnancy Check-in February 8

[christy g]

Hi ladies,
Hope everyone had a good week!

Here's my workout schedule for last week:

Sunday (2/8) - off
Monday (2/9) - walked
Tuesday (2/10) - Timesaver #4
Wednesday (2/11) - Legs & Glutes
Thursday (2/12) - off
Friday (2/13) - CTX Kickbox
Saturday (2/14) - Muscle Endurance

On a personal note, I had my twenty-week ultrasound this past week. My husband and I did not want to know the sex of the baby. What I do know is that the baby appears to be perfectly healthy. We were able to see a close-up of the face and we can tell already that the baby is really a combination of both of us - my husband's nose and my chin. It's so exciting. I can't wait to see him or her!
Also, this week I was able to see the baby move under my skin. Just little thumps where my skin would raise and lower sometimes several times in a row. Hubby saw it too and flipped! It was a great bonding moment and very exciting to actually confirm life growing in me! It was a good week!

Wow Christy! How exciting to see movement! And I'm so glad everything looks healthy. And wow also that you're doing L&G and ME. I'm afraid to try those two now after my legs were fried doing ME earlier on and after I previewed L&G I've been a little leary about trying it. But my legs aren't quite as fatigued now so maybe I'll give it a shot!

Sunday (2/8) - CTX step&intervals/chest (modified intervals)
Monday (2/9) - PS legs & abs, Yoga (instructor)
Tuesday (2/10) - off
Wednesday (2/11) - CTX 10-10-10/triceps
Thursday (2/12) - off
Friday (2/13) - CTX Kickbox/biceps
Saturday (2/14) - off

I'll finish the CTX series this week, may even try LL! My week was a little rough - I had a muscle strain in my shoulder which kept me up for a few hours Monday night. Also, my legs have started to ache for no apparent reason making it hard to sit and relax. The aches and pains kept me awake for 3 hours Friday night. Seems standing or walking helps it to go away. And massages from hubby!

Have a good week, everyone!

Hello ladies! Thought I better do this real quick, my poor hubby will be having nasal surgery later this afternoon. This will be his 4th surgery for a 3rd problem. I am guessing between my at home patient, 3 1/2 year old, and work schedule this will be one of my few chances to post.

Sunday - off
Monday - PLB (Pyramid up)
Tuesday - Step Jam (Sections 1 & 2)
Wednesday (2/11) - PUB (Pyramid up)
Thursday (2/12) - Cardio Kicks
Friday (2/13) - Powerhour
Saturday (2/14) - Step Jam (Sections 1 & 3)

How exctiign to see the baby movement Christy. I always thought I would not want to know the sex, but once I FINALLY get pregnancy I can't wait to know as much as I can. Also, being a former OB nurse I can usually tell.

Diana, sorry about the achey legs... but he massages sound good.

Take care ladies!

Hi Diana,
Looks like, in spite of your body aches, you managed a good week. (Hope that gets better by the way!) Great job!

You should give Legs & Glutes a shot. To be honest, I was surprised that I was able to complete it. I ended up lowering my weights in some spots, but I made it. Same goes for ME - I lowered my weights about 10 pounds from what Cathe used - Cathe used 40lbs, I used 30lbs. I just found a comfortable weight for me on each exercise and didn't stress about it. As long as I felt the burn I was happy. I have some sore muscles after doing Muscle Endurance - it's a good pain though, so I'm not complaining.
During the first trimester I rarely worked out cause I felt so sick and tired, it's been "fun" trying to get back into shape...

Take Care!

Hi girls!! You guys are all doing so well!!! I'm just starting to get too tired to do any heavy weight training. Cardio and lighter weight training feel good, but I do get breathless a lot faster! Anyway, here was my week:

Sun: Shape It Up
Mon: Step Blast
Tues: off
Wed: Firm-Vol 4
Th: C&W - cardio only
Fri: off
Sat: TS #1

Enjoy all of those kicks - they are so fun to watch! Now when Makena moves around, my whole belly moves. It is so amazing to watch! It is just awesome that there is a little life inside there! Have a great week!!
