Fit for FET

Since I'm about 6 weeks away from frozen embryo transfer (FET) - I should really get serious about making this body a good little baby condo. During my pregnancy with Jacob - I was so busy working I barely had any time to exercise. Working night shift didn't help with the quality of sleep or the quality of food I was ingesting. I barely passed my gestational diabetes test and I remember feeling so uncomfortable during my third trimester (even though I had only gained 35 lbs throughout the pregnancy). I promised myself that my next pregnancy would be a completely different experience. So...here it goes!

I'm not going to do any crazy fitness extremes or fad diets. No CrossFit or Whole30 blogging here! Just simple - but consistent changes to my routine that will benefit me in the long run (even after baby vacates the premises).

Current Weight: 162 lbs

Work-out routine:

- None

Diet:

- Combo of frozen meals, the occasional trip through the drive-thru, and meals out (i.e. the working single mom diet)

- I'm not a big soda drinker at all -- so I've got that going for me.

Changes:

Work-out routine:

- At least 30 minutes of cardio every day along with muscle toning and stretching.

Diet:

- Majority of meals coming from home with the occasional meal out.

- Absolutely no fast food.

- Cutting back to 1 cup of coffee per day and then complete elimination by the end of the month.

- Being mindful about everything that is going into my body. Is this the best source of energy and nutrients?

My goal is to weigh roughly what I weighed before my pregnancy with Jacob (148 lbs) *prior* to FET. Then only gaining ~ 20 lbs throughout the entire pregnancy.

I'll post my stats prior to transfer to see how I did. Here's to making a plush, healthy home for an embryo to thrive!
