Fit for 2!

I am now into the 7th month of my pregnancy and since this blog has changed into more of what Im doing while pregnant I figured Id post my workout routine and meal plan. I did a lot of searching online for articles on pregnancy workouts and eating (along with speaking with my doctor) so I knew I was doing the right thing. You really only need and extra 300 calories starting at the 3 month point and that is basically like eating some oats and protein...and not the entire bag of M&Ms!

For the past couple months Ive been quite motivated to hit the gym and stay on track with my meals. Some weekends I do let go a bit and have the things Im craving but it doesnt last the entire day...mainly dinner and its usually always sushi! 

Workout
Monday - Thursday
  • Walk to and from the gym
  • Stretching
  • Treadmill/ Elliptical 2 miles @ incline
  • Followed by either arms/legs (squats, pushups, plank, lunges, rows, etc)
Fridays
  • 2-4 mile walk outside
  • Lots of stretching
Weekends
  • If we aren't doing anything active outside I usually just take periods of time thru out the day to stretch really well and we walk in the evenings with our dogs.
Meal Plan
Breakfast: Coffee (w/ crm and sugar) and 4-5 Egg Whites or Oats
WORKOUT
Snack: Protein/ Fruit/ WW Toast with NPB
Lunch: Chicken, Salad, Brn rice/sweet potato
Snack: Fruit/cheese
Dinner: Chicken/Fish, Brn rice, salad
Snack: Cottage cheese
  • I generally drink about 6 shake bottles full of water a day. May be more if Im walking to and from the gym in this crazy heat!
  • I always have my water bottle with me so as soon as I see its empty I know to fill it right away. Ive found that my body actually CRAVES the water...Im sure the baby likes it too!
  • Right now I am only taking prenatal vitamins and 100% Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein.
