Fitness Friday
Now that I am pregnant I have to do everything by the book I guess or at least as close to it as possible.
I admit in the last month I have gained 16 pounds. Ehh, not good; I attribute some of those 16 pounds to me not having a water pill anymore but the rest of it I am blaming on my unborn baby liking peanut-butter balls. Now please don’t tell me it’s too early for the baby to like or dislike things this is my story and I’m sticking to it. J
My Dr. said that because of my weight it’s ok for me to still lose weight as long as I do it right so I figure its ok. Hey the Dr said so right?
My goal is to lose those 16 pounds that I gained all the while not gaining anymore than the 25-30 pounds that she said is somewhat normal. Still not happy with that but I guess that is healthy.
I did find out that drinking one glass of milk a day can actually help your metabolism so hey I figure two will be even better since I have to anyway.
As far as cooking, well I haven’t been nor have I been exercising. I started cramping and it scared me considering I’ve never been through this before so I asked the Dr and she told me walk. Walk a lot. Nothing strenuous or new for example if I was a runner then it’s ok to run but to be careful. No worries there. I only ran/jogged in my living room with EA SPORTS Active and my wii.
EA SPORTS Active is a whole other story; I think it’s on a case by case basis as far as the exercise thing. I was told not to do EA SPORTS Active because of the running, jumping, squats and things but I could stick with my wii and play games being active and not sitting on the couch. Walking she said is the best but you would think that would get BORING! So, I think I am going to break-out the wii fit plus and do some stepping. It’s low to the ground and something different that I enjoyed doing. Oh, don’t forget the hula and the other not so strenuous things.
Other than that I was told to enjoy, keep exercising and eat more than 2 times a day. Yeah, but it’s hard to eat if you’re not hungry. I guess force it. I will do whatever it takes to keep that baby growing and healthy.
I will be posting some healthy recipes that I am cooking so that we can all share in the wealth of health.
