I'm a promoter of keeping up with your workouts while pg. (Note: Remember to talk with your dr first especially if you're having complications with your pg.) My first pg I worked out 5-6 days a week all the way up to the day before I delivered. This pg I'm trying the same thing. I teach spin classes twice a week and I'm trying to run 3-5 days a week.
My goal this year for running is to reach 500 miles. As of today I'm at 468.87 miles, I have 31.13 miles to run by Dec. 31st to meet my goal. I've set up a plan to reach the goal excluding major holidays. I'll post on Dec. 31st if I made it.
That said, my cardio endurance has reduced drastically and rather quickly. It was almost as if I found out I was pg and all endurance went down the drain. My running slowed to 1-1.5 min/mile slower. I don't go for longer than 3 mile runs. It's sad but at least I'm still moving.
I think all the working out has paid off. As of a couple of days ago I've only gained 4lbs so far in this pg and I'm still wearing my regular clothes. Granted the pants I used to wear with belts I don't have to wear belts with but it's still non-maternity. I'm hoping to hold out till 2nd trimester for maternity clothes. And since I only have 4 more days till 2nd tri I think I'm doing good.

It's been a while and I have news!
I looked and my last post was Oct. 13th. There are several reasons why I haven't posted in over two months.
1. November was super busy. It was my daughter's birthday, we went on vacation to the Dominican Republic for a week and my brother got married.
2. I have been keeping a secret. I found out on Oct. 20th that I'm expecting baby #2. I've been slowly leaking out the secret but I still have some major parties to inform. Mainly my parents (we tell them on Christmas eve) and work.
Other than that everything's been fine and I'm chugging along. I've actually discovered two close friends are pregnant too. One a college friend who is 1 week ahead of me and the other is my neighbor who is 2.5 weeks behind me. My maternity leave is going to be so much fun!
