Today is 34 weeks and I am challenging myself to remain active and healthy for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy. This will be my last pregnancy journal (until #2 comes along!) before I begin my post-partum journal.
About me: 26, 5'5, currently 154lbs (123lbs pre-pregnancy), long-time weightlifter and recent (2 years) bodybuilder.
For now, my only goals:
That's all for the last 6 weeks! It's all you need at this stage of pregnancy. I've been gaining 1lb per week steadily for the past month and plan to continue the same.
So here we go...
April 21, 2010
Breakfast:
1 cup 2% milk, breakfast burrito: one sundried tomato wrap, ¼ cup salsa, .5 oz cheese, 1 egg, ¼ cup egg whites
Snack: ½ cup 1% cottage cheese, 20g nuts
Snack: ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
Lunch: 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups steamed kale, 1 cup tofu cubes, soy & hot sauce, 1 cup 2% milk
Snack: 1 cup strawberries, 1 slice whole wheat toast, 1 tbsp peanut butter
Dinner: ½ medium yam, ½ lb extra lean ground beef, ½ cup broccoli, ¼ cup carrots, some pam, Crystal light with lemon
Snack: ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
Workout:
90 minutes walking (with my dog, leisure pace)
30 minutes upper body
- Push ups 2x10
- Shoulder press 10lbsx10, 15lbx8,20lbx6,30lbx5
- Barbell row 20lbx10,30lbx8,46.2lbx5 (Oly bar + technique plates)
- Dips 3x5
- Pelvic tilts 2x10
Nutrition was very good today. Workout was good too - tomorrow is complete rest (dog in puppy care). Workout was good, I cannot challenge myself anymore now that I am almost 9 months pregnant, so this will be enough to maintain until I'm ready to return to my real workout program.
Good luck with your fitness and nutrition ladies.
