Full Pregnancy Workout :Cardio and Strength Training
Hello Ladies!
I wanted to share this information with you over a month ago but I am just now able to find the time to make this post. So I posted my pregnancy strength training routine a while back and now I am ready to share with you what I do for cardio besides going out to walk and play with my son. I have went back and forth trying to find a cardio routine that could get my heart rate up without jumping around and I found it. I usually alternate cardio and the strength training routine. I do both 3 times a week and I make adjustment depending on how I feel. I recently moved at last minute notice so I have not been as consistent for the last week and a half. Packing and running around with Ian was enough or me but I am hoping to start back being more consistent again. I am almost 35 weeks.
Cardio: 3 times a week
Strength Training: 3 times a week

16 weeks w/ baby # 2
Hello!
I am happy to be 16 weeks with baby #2! Thank you God for bringing us this far. I am finally picking up weight and I am feeling healthy and beautiful! I started working out 4 days a week. I alternate between cardio and strength training depending on how I feel. Some of my food aversions are going away so I am now enjoying melon and chicken breast. I am always hungry so I keep a lot of snacks available.
My Current favorite snacks:
1. fruit bowls which consist of bananas, grapes, strawberries, granola and and dairy free coconut yogurt.
2. sweet potatoes
3. cold fruit from the fridge

Dealing with Food Aversions during pregnancy
I am a very picky eater during my pregnancy. My palate is super sensitive because my sense of smell is stronger and other mysterious factors dealing with pregnancy like hormones and what not.
Aversions
1)Some foods I do not eat because they leave a bad "after taste" that is intolerable to the point of nausea like crackers, melons, oranges.
2) I'm not a fan of meat because of the texture. I can tolerate chicken and fish but I found myself always spiting out bits that I cannot manage to completely chew and swallow.
3) I like the taste of cheese and yogurt but the mucus dairy creates for me is also intolerable to the point of nausea
Below is an example of what I usually eat in a day. I eat about 6 times a day. I usually eat a lot since most of the foods I eat are low calorie fruits and veggies.\
What I Ate yesterday
Breakfast: 2 eggs and a green smoothie ( banana, mango, spinach, almond milk, flax seed)
Snack 1:a mini cucumber and some baby carrots w/ italian dressing & dried fruit
Lunch: Large salad ( spring mix, tomatoes, to eggs, italian dressing, croutons)
Snack 2: a mango and some mixed nuts
Dinner: A large sweet potato and broccoli.
Snack 3:a veggie sandwich my father in law brought me ( whole wheat bread, grilled squash, carrots and bell peppers)
I feel good eating this way because I know I am not lacking any nutrients like B12(a small amount in eggs), calcium since (almond milk,greens and nuts), I get plenty of good fats (eggs and nuts). I eat plenty of broccoli for folate. I also take my prenatal vitamins which have all of these nutrients
* My husband and son ate a variation of what I did. For them I prepared chicken for a wrap at lunch and honey mustard chicken for dinner. To make it easier on myself we eat a cold breakfast and lunch and I cook dinner.
It took some thinking but I was glad to find a way to eat well and eat what I like despite food
aversions.
