Nov 26 - Dec 1 (32 weeks)

32 weeks - napa cabbage

Monday - I woke up at 5:30. I'm glad my body and mind are ready to be back in the school morning routine after a few lazy days of struggling. First I did 10 min of 2 Wonderful stretches, then went for a walk outside (25 degrees) 2.67 miles in 47 minutes. Yesterday morning weight was 169.8
Tuesday - Daniel saw me getting up at 5:45 am, and he was ready to play, so that shot my morning workout. He went down for what I'm sure will be his first nap at 7:30. Then it was time to wake up the elementary girls. I started to do cleaning lunges while they were still here, 9:15 now and I've been picking up the mess as I do walking lunges around the house, I count 50 at a time, and just finished 400. Owen and Daniel are both still asleep. I'm going to go stretch now.
Wednesday - Went to bed last night at 9, woke up at 5. Went for a walk outside from 5:20-5:45, then inside for 10 min stretching (2 wonderful flows) one 1min center plank (hate those) then did this workout of Holly's (Nov 2018 workout B)
Warm Up:
  - toy soldiers 10x
  - forward fold and reach 3x
  - hip openers 5x
  - inchworm 3x
Workout - 20 seconds on, 10 sec switch/break
 4x - Prisoner Narrow Squat (I had to do wide) & Hot Ts
 4x - Reaching Bridge & Dead Bug
 2x - Prisoner Wide Squat / Hot Ts / Reaching Bridge / Dead Bug
4 min Sizzler - 20 sec on, 10 sec switch, alt sides/legs
  - sprint z-rows and windmills. Weight 171.8
Thursday - Got ready for a walk outside at 6, but I could hardly make it down the sidewalk because it was so icy. It rained a lot last night, then froze. So I walked for two houses and then decided the treadmill would be better. 6:10 - 20 min on treadmill - 1.11 miles, then 10 min of Wonderful flows, then upper body holds laying on floor for straight arm holds (atleast tried to) one for each song -
  Man: biceps 2/5
  Rut: triceps 2/5
Ok, it is not good for my pregnant body to try to lay flat on the floor... going to change things here -
  Life to Come: chest - 60 childs pose push ups on knees
  Run for Cover: shoulders: side and front raises 2/5 (30 each, then some arm circles)
  Tyson: back - on tummy with pillow trying to lift 2/5
Weight 170.2

Friday - treadmill walk, the counter on the treadmill automatically reset twice while I was walking and I lost my time and distance, but I think I walked 34 minutes based on a talk I listened to while I walked, and the last counter read .80 miles in 14 min, so that average would give me 1.94 miles in 34 minutes, (3850 steps) then 2 Wonderful Flows (10 min) then 15 min on the mat stretching my legs while I listened to Love Story/Viva la Vida - going back and revisiting some oldies but goodies
Saturday - Shoveled snow, ran errands, at 11:30pm I did 12 min of planks in my closet and 10 min of stretching

Nov 19 - 24 (31 weeks)

31 weeks - long as a leek

Monday - 31 weeks today, just 8 more! Two wonderful stretches, then 8 in of planks, then took Wes to school, back for 4 more minutes, going to go on a walk tonight. Eating 10 fruits and vegetables today - I need to focus on making sure I get 10 in, otherwise I fill my tummy with bread. Right now it's noon and I've had 2 servings of bananas, 1 raspberries, 1 broccoli, 1 lettuce, 1 corn, 1/2 banana, 1/2 strawberry. Total = 7. 10:15 pm - 15 min treadmill walk .78 miles according to my phone which I don't think records on the treadmill very accurately, but the treadmill counter kept resetting on it's own, annoying, so we'll just have to deal with that. Pause for family prayer and scripture. 10:55 - 11:11 - 1 mile in 15:30 (treadmill recording) Either way - it was 30 min. Now it's 11:12 pm, I'm heading to bed. And weight first thing this morning was 173.0
Tuesday - At 6:40 am left for a walk outside, jogged just a little bit, for one or two minutes. Went 2.32 miles in 40 minutes, then 2 wonderful stretches. I should do upper body today, but might save it for tomorrow or Thurs when I have access to the gym at Park City. Or might do it later today...
Wednesday - I'm predicting it will be a busy weekend with everyone home, so I decided to go to the temple this morning instead of trying for Friday. Weight 170.0 this morning. I'm doing good at eating more veggies. It's been a good day, now it's late, 11:25 pm and I finally did some movement - doing upperbody cause I got a TDAP in my arm today at my dr. appointment, hoping moving the muscle will help it to not be sore tomorrow...

Friday - 11:15 pm - did Holly's November Workout A (honestly this felt a little too easy to do. I have a slight shimmer sweat, but it all kinda felt like a warm up, not a real push myself until I'm dying workout. If this is the only kinda stuff Holly does to keep trim, hooray, I'd be happy, easy peasy. Maybe if I eat right, all I'd need is a workout like this plus a 20 min morning walk and 5 min feel good flows? Piece of cake! I'm getting my plan of attack to get my body back ready for after baby comes...)

Tuesday - Left home at 6:30 for a 20 minute walk, then continued to walk while I did 400 walking lunges. Total time 49 minutes, went 2.34 miles.

Friday - Two Wonderful stretches, at 7:11 treadmill walk (4 min of jogging), went 1.91 miles in 35 minutes. Then 12 min of planks
Saturday - I didn't get up early this morning, thus I haven't gotten in my workout until now. It is now it's 11 pm and I get to do my dreaded workout. But I've been doing planks all week, so instead of doing the 1 min center plank on my hands (and because I totally hate them), I'm going to do a 30 min hang on the pull up bar instead (to start to toughen up my hands - I need weeks of prep work to build up to pull ups again after baby is born) So - doing 6 rounds of the following:

• 5x jump lunge left, jump lunge right, jump squat = 1
• 100x calf raise pulses 2/30
• 20x Romanian Deadlift 2/30
• 15x lower than parallel squats 1/30
• 30 sec hang on pull up bar

I didn't time myself cause my phone is upstairs. On the last round I did a center plank on hands instead of the hang, because my hands were wasted, I was hardly able to hold the dumbbells on the deadlifts! I was putting kids to bed and changed diapers in between sets. Finished at 11:51, we all stayed up too late tonight! Goodnight
