There isn’t a whole lot to report at this stage of the game, but I know this will get more fun and interesting as I progress so I figure why not start now!  Here is some stats for your reading pleasure.  If you don’t care – skip to the bottom for my workouts.

• How far along? 7 weeks
• Total weight gain/measurements: +1
• Maternity clothes: No, not yet!
• Stretch marks: Goodness no (and I would hope everyone could answer no to that this early)
• Sleep: Pretty good except for the multiple bathroom breaks in the middle of the night.
• Best moment this week: Seeing baby’s heartbeat!
• Miss anything? Not that I can think of right now.
• Movement: Nope
• Food cravings: cold veggies and my morning green smoothie – loving spinach right now.
• Anything making you queasy or sick? Only if I go too long without eating.
• Gender: way too early to tell.
• Symptoms: super tired at times, cramping has pretty much stopped but was never bad.
• Belly button in or out? In!
• Wedding rings on or off? On!
• Happy or moody most of the time: HAPPY!
• Looking forward to: Having my first official OB appointment next week!
• Labor signs? NO!

There you have it.  As I start to show I’ll share some pictures but for now there is nothing really to see!  I think I had this big of a pooch before getting pregnant! And before someone freaks out and all “you know what” breaks loose – that is my ARM in the first picture – NOT my boob!

Workouts:

I have really slowed down since finding out I am pregnant – almost too much.  I’m sure once my energy returns I will pick back up.  For now, I am happy with any workout I can get in.

2/25/13 – Crossfit – first WOD since finding out I was prego! Strength was Push press (5,5,5,3,3,3) and I worked up to 3×100#.  The WOD was Half Murph and for me it was a Modified Half Murph.  Here is what I did: Row 400 m, then 10 rounds of Cindy (5 pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 air squats) then row another 400 m.  It was a good one!

2/26/13 – push up challenge (week 2, day 1)

2/28/13 – Crossfit and push up challenge (week 2, day 2).  All I did was bench press because I was a little crampy and nervous about it.  I did a 500 m row to warm up and stretched really well and then left after I benched.  Here were my rounds: 5 x 65, 5 x 75, 5 x 85, 5 x 90, and 5 x 95.

3/1/13 – 2 mile walk/jog with the pup.

3/2/13 – push up challenge (week 2, day 3)

3/4/13 – Crossfit – Broken up Filthy Fifty – holy Moses this was hard for me.  I did everything but instead of box jumps, I did step ups and singles instead of double unders.  I also used a 35 lb KB.  My time was 35:35.

3/5/13 – Push up challenge (week 3, day 1)

3/6/13  - Crossfit.  Strength was push press (5×5) and I worked up to 100 for my last round.  WOD was a tabata – 8 rounds each with 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest: Kettle Bell Swings (35lbs), Plank hold, Burpees, Sit-ups.  Your score was the lowest number of reps for each round.  I am really feeling “being pregnant” because this was much harder for me than it should have been! My final score was 7/20/4/9.

3/9/13 – accumulated over 3 miles of walking (spent the day at the Daytona Speedway for the Supercross event and covered a lot of ground throughout the day) – this totally counts!

3/11/13 – Crossfit.  Strength was deadlift and double under work.  I did about 5 minutes of double under work but started cramping so I stopped that all together.  For the deadlift I worked up to 205 lbs. for my final round (3 reps) and felt good.  I didn’t want to push it and my coach said to just stay under my 1RM.  Although I felt fine, I will probably end at a lower number next time. No point in pushing it.  The WOD was a 15 minute AMRAP of 20 DU (60 singles for me), 15 wall ball shots (14 lbs.), 10 T2B and 5 deadlifts (125 lbs).  I completed 4 rounds plus the singles of the 5th round.

So there it is – see I have been doing something over the past few weeks.  I know I need to get back to some running and I will.  This week…so ask me about it next week if I don’t have some running included in my workouts!
