VLAWG…
That is the toddler in the background, in his room with dad making a ruckus as dad is telling him to hush as I am vlogging. LOL!
My big priority is a mindful balance this week to strengthen and engage in cardio while recovering from pneumonia. Above all I need to be pragmatic to increase my health baseline as I am in the home-stretch of this pregnancy. I am going for another home birth so maximizing any bit of health I have is important. This could be sleeping every chance I get, this could be wall sits and plank, this could be TRX and slowing going through a standing yoga series. I have never had pneumonia before, especially with the consideration of being this pregnant at the same time. This week will be a lot of mindful checking in with my body to see where I am and where I can best aid my recovery.
This feels like a crunch week to joyously walk that road of nutrition, movement, rest, hydration, and above all keeping a positive but realistic attitude of what my actions are doing. Thank you to everyone that has been checking in on me via Facebook and other mediums, your kind thoughts have been greatly appreciated.
I wish you all a good week as you deal with the crud and funk in your neck of the woods.
Also, slap me. I just registered for my first post-partum half-marathon of the year (10 Aug). I know, I know. It was such a good deal and I am fine with walking if my body is not ready for it.
You can do it!! I love that you are mindful of what your body tells you! Feel better and get ready for that baby!!
Thank you. Doing everything I can to prep for baby is priority #1 at this point.
You poor thing! Pneumonia and pregnancy! Two Ps that make it hard to want to do anything! Bless your heart, I hope you are feeling better. 🙁
Thank you. This week is WAY better than last week was. I can actually function so am not complaining.
Glad you’re doing better and way to keep focus! Yes, be healthy but also take it slow. Let yourself heal. Awesome
Thanks. I get back to teach on the mat on Thursday or Friday and know that even then I will probably do mostly verbal cues rather than demo. Patience is always such a hard virtue to take with ourselves.
You’re so good at listening to your body. Feel well soon!
I am good at listening to my body but not always good at doing what is best with that information in mind 😉
I hope you are feeling 100% soon! I can’t wait to hear about the home birth. You are awesome!
Thanks Sarah. I am simply hoping that me and baby are happy and healthy at home with no need to transport… just like with my son.
I’m glad you’re feeling better! Pneumonia is no fun, and I can’t imagine pregnancy makes it any easier! Happy 33 weeks!
Thanks, definitely feeling better. I know I could be doing so much worse but am healing rapidly IMHO.
Wow, amazing goals! Get healthy and strong, and you’ll be on your way!
You go girl! Get better soon!
