So I didn't actually weigh myself on this particular day. However, I have been weighing myself now and then over the last couple of weeks. Happily I am hanging right at/around 136. I am okay with this because, being 20-ish weeks preggo, I don't feel like I'm suppose to be losing weight. I also don't want to gain too much or too quickly either. I was 20 lbs over my goal weight and certainly not healthy. I know my numbers will only start climbing soon. It is so sad to me that I was in the 3rd tri with #1 before I hit 140!
Anyway, I am still going to the gym at least every other day. Today, I did 40 min of cardio between the eliptical and stair climber. My cardio is definitely not what it used to be. I keep my heart rate around 130-135 ish.
Monday, I did one of the programed "fitness test" on the treadmill. It monitors hr while raising the incline 1.0 every minute for 12 min. so at the end of the test you're at 12.0 and keeping the speed a constant 3.4. It maxed me out with 5 seconds left and told me my rating was superior. That made me feel good. Of course, it is just a treadmill, but still, I'll take it where I can get it.

I too, like the wise treadmill, think you are superior.
Good for you for working out preggo. I feel so crappy for that first tri-mester that I just give up. And then when I do feel better, meh. I've already given up. I'll do it after...
Don't we need all the positive reinforcement we can get. Way to go on the test. Definitely "superior."
Wish you were going to be here for "girls night" this week. We'll miss you and so will the Mudd Pie. :)
