THANK YOU for that website! I squatted while playing with the baby yesterday I’d like to get a ring sling, even if I can’t use it for much longer with this kiddo, I’m sure I’d get use out of it for a future kiddo! You’re getting so close to the end of pregnancy!!!

I asked my PT at my last appt and she said to just move core work to after a run! I find I’m okay if I’m doing a BBB workout (like A and B that have core work) but if I do a core set, that’s when it tends to dribble :/ I’ve noticed the imbalance with lunges and squats, like one hip can move more than the other?

That’s exactly my thoughts with the eating- pay more attention. And just add veggies/fruits whenever I can!

I wish that high school prepared students better for college and that college better prepared adults for the “real world”! I’m really glad that I have my degree, but I really don’t know if I’ll ever use it (or do something related to biology). You worked for a while, right? Are you planning on working again (if you aren’t currently)?

Congratulations! What a milestone! I went to college for Elementary Education and graduated in 4 years…but I was not prepared for the “real” world!

okay so 2 things you said made me go “hmmm” for myself. I haven’t really had “leaking” probs but I just started plank a day a week and a half ago and I’ve had it 2x since. I wonder if doing plank before a run makes a difference! And the carrying on the hip thing. I need to switch hips too! I have been noticing being off balance but I didn’t relate it to anything!

And YES to the eating. We do sit down for meals, but my mindless-ness has some from taking huge scoops of almond butter, using a lot of olive oil in my cooking and handfuls of chocolate chips as well. Just this week I said i need to pay more attention. It all adds up!

You look great! Incredible shape

About the incontinence: that sucks. I’d def talk to your ob, and in the meantime, have you read this: http://journeytocrunchville.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/why-you-should-stop-doing-kegels/#entry might be worth a shot.

About the imbalance: YES! This was me with my daughter, too. If carrying left is uncomfortable, maybe get a ring sling? I found it an easy baby carrier to have around for a growing-but-clingy baby/early toddler, and it will help you alternate sides. Definitely start now, because imbalances really mess up your whole posture & they are a pain to correct!
