Pregnancy Fit at 35 Weeks

Hi Guys!
I’m back with my latest installment of Pregnancy Fit. This week I wanted to talk about keeping with a plan and really pushing yourself to stay healthy and fit. I hope it didn’t come across pushy…let me know and I’ll gladly give myself the side-eye ;)
As for the workout to do at home, this is an easy and fabulous stretch. It feels amazing to open up your shoulders…especially because we all tend to lean in (due to computer work, cell phones, etc.). Great way to counteract that.

XOXO,
Martha

Pregnancy Fit at 34 Weeks

From Latham Thomas’ “Mama Glow” book:
“This swell-quelling salad is the antidote to edema. If you’re sensitive to onions, you can skip them and it will still be amazing. This seasonal salad is hydrating and cooling on warm summer days and helps to reduce swelling caused by heat, poor circulation and edema. Watermelon is a powerful food, rich in vitamins A, B, C, lycopene, magnesium and potassium.”

One 5-pound watermelon
1 red or Vidalia onion
1/2 cup fresh chopped mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper, to taste

Cut the watermelon into 1 inch sized chunks and place in a large bowl. Slice the onion into thin strips and soak in enough cold water to submerge the onions, for at least and hour. Discard the water and remove the onions. Add the onions, mint, cilantro, parsley and lime juice to the watermelon. Gently mix and season with salt and pepper.
Finish and enjoy!!

Here is the brief video from the Expert Village explaining and showing a jump board session.

And here is my Pilates video where I am demonstrating a very easy but important exercise. Notice how my stomach moves in and out drastically.

Pregnancy Fit at 32 Weeks

The exercise for the week is super easy but definitely effective. You need to have a smooth surface (like tile or hardwood) for this. Be sure to use just one towel if you’re not feeling stable enough to balance on both towels.

XOXO,
Martha

Pregnancy Fit at 31 Weeks

Seriously…where has the time gone? I can’t believe I’m posting this video at 31 weeks…seems like just yesterday I was announcing my pregnancy with a different kind of video post (Musical Mondays will be back in the near future). Here are my latest rambles and thoughts about pregnancy and a fabulous exercise to do at home.

XOXO,
Martha

Pregnancy Fit at 30 Weeks

Hi guys! Here is my latest installment to the pregnancy fit series…I want to know if you guys think I should add more things, are the videos too long, to you feel like it’s interesting? You know, just your usual “give me your honest feedback” type of post ;) Honestly, I appreciate all of you and it’s because of your support, encouragement and suggestions that I become a better blogger with each passing day (at least I hope that’s the direction I’m one…if not, definitely  tell me).

XOXO,

Martha

Sorry for posting this a couple days late…I had a full plate (literally…I’m preggo…you should see how much I can eat) ;) but I’m starting the week off with my review and my exercise for the week. I have two outfit posts coming up too this week so slowly but surely, I’m getting things in order…the calm before the storm so to speak ;)

XOXO,

Martha
