33 weeks pregnant – exercise

I turned 33 weeks pregnant on Thursday and I'm feeling better than I have done at earlier points in my pregnancy. Despite this I didn't get much chance to workout with various other things getting in the way. So on Saturday I was well up for a good gym session. Here's what I did:

20 mins on the bike (I did about 140 cals)

> 10 x squat to shoulder press (with 5kg weights)

> 20 x slow sumo squats

To give you a bit of background, I am an avid reader of

No pain, no gain (please)

Two things for you today.

Firstly, it is time to talk about weight gain... this morning Mike came down the stairs looking extremely spritely and happy with himself (very impressive given the 4 or 5 hours sleep he had) and announced he has lost half a stone - how depressing! Especially as it seems that in order to keep the weight equilibrium in the house I am putting that weight on. I think dieting when your wife is on a long haul trip to fatdom is just rude. Anyway, I really want to spend some time over the weekend looking at eating plans that help you maintain your weight much longer while stopping your hunger pangs and getting myself set up for the week...I will of course share, probably on Sunday.

Secondly, I had my bikini done today. I said I would and I did. Now, I am not exaggerating when I
