My favorite transformation to date 😏 145 lbs versus 165 lbs at six months pregnant🤰🏼 I gained 16 lbs in the first trimester. I was super sick with all day nausea that hit me like a ton of bricks🤢 During this time I had bad food aversions to any lean protein like chicken/fish & veggies/greens would make me want to vomit🤮 I was too tired & sick to workout, & I felt like I was losing myself both physically & mentally. I struggled with extreme mood swings, brief depression & isolation. Finally around week 17 I started to get my energy back & my normal appetite for healthy foods, although my cravings were still high for sweets😋 I decided I needed to make a plan to be able to workout at even 20-30% of my normal capacity to start moving my body for my endorphins & for baby’s health. I planned a trip to hike everyday for 22 days 10,000-20,000 steps a day, which immediately increased my mood, my energy and leveled out my weight gain. I decided to regress my weight training to lighter weights & reduce the single legged movements to protect against symphysis pubis pain ( aka “lightning crotch” - extremely painful), & I stopped all ab focused workouts to prevent diastusis recti and excess round ligament pain. With all the pain, sickness, fatigue and self doubt, I could’ve given up. I could’ve thrown in the towel and said, “I’m pregnant, I don’t need to try and workout.” I could’ve said, “oh well, I’ll keep eating junk food and give into every craving.” I could’ve drowned myself in self pity or excuses but I knew that wouldn’t be healthy for me or my baby👼🏼 I was more than happy to listen to my body, regress my training intensity & take time off when my body was tired or sore, which I still do. To all the haters & trolls who don’t understand why I post pregnancy bikini pics, it’s not for you!🙅🏼‍♀️ It’s for every woman who has or will struggle with body image & extreme symptoms during her pregnancy & to know she’s not alone💁🏼‍♀️ She is strong, beautiful, sexy & loved. Not everyone will regain their strength or energy during pregnancy but you are just as beautiful because you are sacrificing your body, time, & energy to grow a little miracle inside.👼🏼🥰
