Knocked up Athlete....AGAIN.

So, it looks like I am at it again... a knocked up runner/athlete. Its a joyous thing. I have worked out through majority of all my pregnancies & I feel like its the one thing that makes me feel GOOD. Some people have asked what I have been doing while pregnant & honestly I have been doing the same things I did before I was pregnant.... however, I am listening more to my body & when it is begging for rest. Once the second trimester comes just around the corner I will slow down things like ab workouts & running at such a quick pace. For now, I am getting a good workout in & enjoying the sweat. 

I have been doing my best to keep a healthy diet but still enjoying the foods I splurge on... Ok, so I still am drinking coffee but limited it to ONE cup a day. Yes, I know, you can sympathize with me...only ONE. :) 

Things I have been craving: Fresh fruit, cottage cheese, occasional steak (I am NOT a meat lover), & gatorade

What was your weirdest craving during pregnancy? Post below in the comments section! I would love to hear!

So what have I really been doing in my workouts?

Here is my schedule:

M, W, F-  Chick Fitness Bootcamp

This is my 3rd year doing this bootcamp & my 2nd time while pregnant! I LOVE the chicks that I get to see early morning 3x week. We do a variety of things throughout the week...Tabata, circuits, weight training, challenges, etc. I am so excited to be here longer this year to keep up the workouts with these chicks! Best thing about going at 5:30 am is that my workout is done before anyone in my house is awake! I can spend the rest of my day with my family. It also makes for a great excuse to get in a power nap when the kids take their naps! 

Recently I have completed 2 5k's here in Florida:

Care Net for Life 5k

&

TCBA Scholarship Fund 5K

*I have NOT been running like I would like to be on a regular basis. My goal is to jog twice a week a minimum of 2 miles. 

If you are wanting to get pregnant or already "knocked up" please talk to your doctor about your workout routine & make sure it is appropriate for you & the baby! 

Needing a little inspiration swing on over to my sister-in-laws blog! She inspires me & is the best knocked up runner I know! She can help you with your running goals as a new momma too! Here is her link: KnockedupRunner

I will continue posting updates on my workout routines as they change throughout my pregnancy!
