Amusement Park Rides
Last night my family and I went to the county fair. My 5-year-old is able to go on some of the bigger rides this year but needs a parent for encouragement. My husband gets motion sickness so I have become her designated ride partner. We went on the gravitron (or something similar to that) and it was fine. But when we tried…

What's your workout?
I started my pregnancy pretty out of shape. So, my workouts have been pretty simple; pregnancy yoga, walking, 20 minutes on the elliptical, and chasing after my 20-month-old little girl. My midwife has encouraged me to take my idea of working out and "let it out of the box". She told me many of the women she works with…

Let's be kind
I believe it is important to remember we are all pregnant here and maybe a little emotional. We should all do our best to be kind and encouraging to one another.

Is it ok to be doing other things besides just walking?
In addition to walking I have been planning on doing a 30 min 30 day DVD. Is anyone else doing additional workouts or are we supposed to keep it walking only?

Map My Walk
I was just wondering if anyone else uses this app? When I use this app I feel like it says I burned a lot more calories than if I had used my treadmill (to tell me the speed I walked) and then entered the info via MFP. Just wondering if I am the only one? it may also be the treadmill I use not displaying an accredit speed…

Not much support at home?
I was just wondering if anyone else seems to have a lack of support from their family, specifically from the significant others. My husband met me when I was very healthy and I got even healthier once we were married. But after a loss in my family I started to let my eating and working out habits go down hill. He has often…
