I have been considering going back to my more strict veggie ways once this kiddo gets here. I call myself a flexitarian now but feel that has been more meat-based this pregnancy and am getting pretty sick of it. I like my lifestyle ratio being way more vegetarian-based than it has been lately. With that on my mind here is a slideshow of 200 veggie-friendly at some point in their lives (I was for 10 years of mine) set to Dead Prez’s “Be Healthy” **expect some less than clean language during parts of it.
Hmmmm, my week. It had some stress, some joy, some movement, some rest. A beautiful balance of life. I had my glucose-tolerance test and my numbers were fine. I had a follow-up level II ultrasound and the baby is fine. I suppose I am 29 weeks and doing pretty good. It was cold as heck here this weekend and the gym was too packed to want to go near so I hunkered down with some low and long-held yoga asanas and cranked on my lower body. I did not fuel myself as well as I could have with a party I went to on Saturday and some less than intentional eating today but the other days were stellar. Today was more dealing with some soreness and a headache related to some neck tension having me feel off my game. Luckily some p.m. kombucha with quinoa/beans/veggies/salsa has helped to get me back on track.
I see my midwife tomorrow – I see her twice a week now so will weigh in at that time. It will still be cold so there will be no hike for me after my appointment with her like last time. My dad is supposed to go on a snowshoeing trip tomorrow that I anticipate will be canceled with an expected wind chill pushing the temps down to -33 F. Kind of stupid cold the last couple of days.
This week I hope to get outside once it stops being stupid cold, have my gym bag ready with a swim suit/workout bikini I feel comfy in, going for 4 cardio sessions + 2 strength sessions as well as yoga, fuel myself well the rest of the week, and rest enough.
Much love people. Have a fantastic week. Do you meatless monday or make an effort to eat some veggie meals in your life?
Wow that’s cold! I hope you have great appointments this week! We haven’t had a meatless Monday, but I make more veggies for meals and smaller entree portions.
yummm that quinoa/beans/veggies/salsa sounds DELISH!! I just discovered Quinoa and LOVE it!!! Good luck this week with your appointments! Much love!
