Results from my Mommy to Be Olympic Challenge!

Well I did not get the gold but I stuck with the challenge and did my best. I set my goals high and even though I did not reach all of them I am proud that even though I am pregnant I am setting new goals and challenges in my life. I always want to be reaching for something!

Here are the goals I set at the beginning of my challenge -

Fitness - Walking, Biking at the gym, Elliptical -

Gold Metal - 17 Hours
Silver Metal - 14 - 17 Hours
Bronze Metal - 10 - 14 Hours

Nutrition - Staying within Calories and Water intake -

Gold Metal - 14 days staying on track with calories and water intake
Silver Metal - 12 - 14 days
Bronze Metal - 12 days or less

Here are my results -

Fitness - 608 mins or 10.13 hours - BRONZE!!
Nutrition - 11 days out of 17 within calorie range (1,500 - 1,800) - BRONZE!!

Now onto the next challenge....To log my food, water intake and fitness every day for this month. It is not a big goal but perfect for where I am now in my pregnancy. I have learned that it is not the size of the goal but the act of setting it in your mind and doing all you can to reach it that counts! Striving to better yourself everyday, that is what I want to do!

March Goals -

1. Consume 1,500 - 1,900 calories per day
2. Drink at least 128 oz of water
3. Fiber intake - 35 grams or higher
4. Protein - 100 grams or higher
5. Consume at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies each day
6. Walk for 30 mins every day - even if I have to break it up - just get it done the best I can.

Sounds like you are still holding on to those goals. You should be very proud of yourself. These are things you will pass on to your baby girl. She will learn the value of goal setting and of achievment.

Won't be long now. Have you had to deal with any indigestion or swelling? I bet the high water intake keeps that from being a problem.
