Sometimes it feels like a deep fix you do n’t know if you may get out of .
This feeling may cause you to feel like giving up on your dreams.
Often times , it ’s at the half - way point of your journey .
My journeying through pregnancy to adjudge my new baby is formally at the halfway full point . I ’m officially 20 week pregnant .
It ’s always been a goal of mine to appease fit while significant . When I was pregnant with my first , I work out three times per calendar week . I kept it light . I did n’t have it away my limits , but I listened to my body and paid attending .
Now , I ’m midway through my second pregnancy and even more fit than I was during my first . I make love my limits and I have a swell idea of what to require . I ’m strive more and press myself more than I ever did during my first pregnancy .
All the while , I ’m still listening to my body . It ’s so significant to experience your bound and to only do what your physical structure will allow for .
I ’m not going to rest . It ’s becoming more and more difficult to commit .
How I’m Feeling On Week 20
This calendar week , all my mind wanted to do was purport back into a deep sleep for twenty-four hour period . That state of idea was switch into alive fashion after a little usance of caffeine .
I ’m feel in better shape this gestation than the last one . I have BODYPUMP to thank for that . As well as my toddler . She hold back me moving , too .
Unfortunately , I have been fighting allergic reaction and sinus congestion for months . It just will not go away . This make me sleepy-eyed . I also tend to gag on the nasty clear flem . It ’s so viscid . It just sticks in my sinus until I gag or blog my nose . Yuck .
I ’m also start to really pop up out as you could see in my Week 20 gibbousness picture . This is making things uncomfortable .
For one things , Mylee has been accidentally kicking or putting pressure on my stomach this week . She does n’t realize what she ’s doing . I keep remind her that her sister is in there and not to recoil or shove sister .
She ’s really trying .
Also , my stomach has stretched quite a bit this week . stretch causes ceaseless itching all over my stomach .
Baby girl is also stretching more and depart to put her small foot on my ribs . Ouch . Mylee did this , too when she was in there .
rent ’s just say this week was pretty low for me . I ’m ready for the next 20 weeks to go quick .
How Were My Workouts This Week?
My workouts this week were very minimal due to travel . I usually use Mondays and Wednesdays as rest day .
I typically look kickboxing class on Friday sunup . This morning ( Friday ) , I decided to turn off my alarm system and go back to eternal rest . I decided it would be good for me and my body to rest .
I made a deal with myself to go to Saturday Zumba . I ’m NOT interrupt that muckle .
My Tuesday and Thursday BODYPUMP workouts give way well . The class attendance was awesome this week , which really pumped me up . A expert workout made me feel amazing , too .
What Made Me Stop And Think
After class on Tuesday , I decide to take my hebdomadary protrusion progress picture . As I was look around the gymnasium for a good place , I experience the planetary house above the mirror .
The funny thing is , I see this every day I ’m in the gym . It ’s always there . I notice it this dawning because I needed the monitor .
I was looking for motivation . There it was . “ When you palpate like GIVING UP , Think about WHY you started . ”
The Message
I did think about 5 reasons why I decide I would work out during gestation :
A reevaluation of my goals for work out during pregnancy is just what I involve at this halfway percentage point . I know I can do this because I ’ve done it once before .
My mantra from now on will always be “ Think about WHY you started . ” Giving up is not an alternative .
