Don’t interpret my silence about Shauna’s book
After I’d finished reading, the one thing I was left longing for was a box, a table, a chart… something that said: 10 secrets to Shauna’s success. What did she eat? Did she eat carbs after 6 p.m.? After all of those setbacks, how did she get back on the wagon each time?
My best guess to secret #1 is: exercise. It seemed like every time she needed motivation, she dusted herself off and went to the gym. It’s tough to feel bad about yourself and eat like crap when you’re putting in your time on the treadmill, in the fitness class, or whatever. So, in an effort to emulate my superhero, last weekend we set up the treadmill in its new NYC location, and today, I actually did some exercise: Erin O’Brien’s Prenatal Fitness Fix
Some of the moves are hard for me, just because I’ve got more bulk than your average (even pregnant) bear. Other moves were difficult because I’m a bit out of shape! But, generally, it wasn’t difficult enough to discurage me, and I managed to follow along pretty well. I chugged about three tall glasses of water — a testament to my dehydration — during the 40 minute workout. I finished it feeling energized and excited. I don’t have to languish on the couch, and I can improve my fitness, despite my delicate condition.

I’m weighing around 222 now, which is probably more of a gain than I should have experienced, thus far, but I don’t think I’m far off of last pregnancy. I really don’t want to gain to the weight I did last time (240-ish), though, as I was really swollen and uncomfortable, but it might just be in the genes. Hopefully more daily activity (walking everywhere, getting more exercise) will help.
