Let's do this again!

I kind of left this hanging three years back... In a nutshell: I had to wait five more days for the arrival of young Timothy. I didn't go back to the gym during that time; just walked and walked and walked. Tim arrived quickly, easily (by which I mean uncomplicatedly), and healthily. He remains the healthiest kid I know. (Also the tallest and best climber.) He likes to work out too.

Now, we're expecting again. I'm not in as good a shape as last time -- parenthood kind of cuts into your leisure time -- but I've continued to lift a little weight, jog 5-7 km somewhat regularly, and play frisbee. (Last game of the winter season was last week: ie: 13 weeks pg.)

My goal is to maintain as best I can by doing a workout at least three times a week (like last time), and trying to stay active on other days. Having a three-year-old helps with that last one.

So. Here was my first workout at 15 weeks:

A circuit. Five rounds of:

Row 2:20 min (about 500 m)
10 deadlifts (105 lbs) (I whipped through these, lots of grunting!)
5/arm single-arm db presses (25 lbs)
= 28 minutes

I'll also do a weigh-in, to track my pregnancy weight gain. Because that's so much fun! Weigh-ins will coincide with Dr. visits, because I don't have a scale, or a gym!

Baseline (December 13 - 1 day pregnant) = 135 lb
January 16 (10 weeks) = 136 lb

And, I'm a little behind on my check-ups, so I'm in suspense as to how much I've gone up. But I'm about a month ahead of where I was last time in terms of "showing" -- although only 3.5 months, I am very obviously preggo. This is gonna get messy...

Pre-pregnancy stats

Here are some stats that describe the activity I was doing immediately before becoming pregnant.

Squats: 115 x 5

Presses: 50 x 3

Deadlifts: 100 x 8

Cleans: 70 x 6

Chin-ups: 5 max

Mile run: 6:32 minutes

5K: Around 24 minutes (probably a little more)

I was also playing ultimate two to three times a week, and played 6 tournaments prior to 6 weeks pregnant.
