NF Weeks 18, 19, 20 & 21

Hello!
Unfortunately, I think this will be my last NF post for a while. I'm not even able to finish a routine without feeling pretty awful anymore, even with my adjustments. :/ And, although I'm not eating like a typical pregnant lady, I'm not really following the "diet" aspect any longer, either. I'll pick the NF routine back up after I'm cleared at my 6week PP checkup in October. I think I'm going to start something new after our move that is a bit easier to handle... which, should have been next week, but now we're not leaving Fort Lost in the Woods until the third week of May. -_- So, I'm just going to take a break for a bit. The good news is that Sarge graduates his year-long course next week! I'm so proud of him. :)

Also, two weeks ago, we found out that we're having another little boy. Going to be fun! Loud, and plenty of ER trips, I'm sure, but fun.

Week 20 - 157.2 lbs
Did not exercise this week. I was not feeling well and was having some pelvic discomfort. I didn't want to make it worse.




Week 21 - 158.4 lbs
Dropped the weights down to 5 lbs. Hurt my knee Mon/Tues sometime, so a regular NF set was out of the question this week. :/ Tried to do an arm circuit on Thursday to replace it. It wasn't too hard, but I also didn't feel like I got much out of it. Decided after that, that I would be taking a break until after the move, and moving on to some prenatal exercises and seeing which ones left me feeling okay.



Monday
20 minutes on manual setting on elliptical, avg MPH 3.8, 1.28 miles, 118.6 calories burned

Thursday
(Did a right set and left set each time, equal reps, so 10 on one side, 10 on the other, then onto the next exercise)
Bicep curl: 10 | 10 | 10
Dumbbell row: 10 | 10 | 10
Tricep Ex: 10 | 10 | 10
Shoulder press: 10 | 10 | 10


And now I'm 22 weeks. I think I weighed in at 160.2 earlier, but it wasn't at my normal weigh in time. Not too worried about it, though. As of last week, I'd only gained 7 lbs since my doctor first weighed me, and she was happy about that. So, I'm just going to keep on doing the same things, and hop back on the workout train later. :) My knee is feeling better. I'm still not sure what I did to it, but I'm just going to blame pregnancy and my already wonky joints.

So, I'll probably post once we get moved and settled into the new house. And when I find a new preggo-safe routine (I say that, but I really mean safe for me. I'm sure someone who was in better shape to begin with would have no problem with my wimpy routine, lol), I'll post.
