Right now I am definitely at the point where I am showing, and obviously pregnant, but not huge. I can still run, slowly. I am having pain in my pelvic area after harder workouts, but the doctor said there's nothing to worry about- that the little aches and pains will get worse with each pregnancy.
Joining Lifetime Fitness has been a lifesaver. The kids play in the child center and I can do classes or hit the bike or elliptical. This is what I'm doing most often right now. There is a circuit class on Fridays that I have still been able to do until today. It's one of the hardest group fitness classes at the gym, and even with my modifications, it is still a KILLER workout. But today when she showed us all the jumps/hops/sprints we would be doing, I had to duck out and just hit the elliptical. It was a bit of a bummer, but I'm just at that point in the pregnancy and it's ok.
I have been trying to love spin class. Really trying. So many people have told me you can do that up until the day you have the baby. And I do sweat. I burn. I hate it. But not like I hate running. There's never a high point, an enjoyable moment. My butt bone hurts and the position is awkward. But it gets my heart pumping and fat burning, so I'm just going to have to get used to it.
I have been eating better and exercising more since my 7 lb. weight gain last month, and I weighed about a pound and a half more today. So... oh well. I'm just gonna keep eating healthfully and doing the workouts I can until baby comes. I will absolutely be doing a marathon in 2011, so I'm pretty sure I will lose the weight. Eventually.
Sorry so boring, just wanted to jot down the way things are at this point in my pregnancy!

Not boring at all! I think I told you that we're hoping to get pregnant this year too so reading about how yours is going awesome! I seriously hope I can keep working out when I get pregnant, knowing that you're doing it gives me hope. I have a friend who did spinning throughout her whole pregnancy but I totally know what you mean about how it's not the love/hate with running, it's mostly just torture. You're still a hardcore mama though for pushing through and getting your workouts in! And heck yes to a 2011 marathon!! I watched the Boston Marathon on T.V. today and it got me pumped about the magical 26.2. Nothing like a marathon to motivate you after having a baby!
