Yoga Mama

I bought the yoga CD months ago, during my early pregnancy. It has been sitting on the shelf, untouched, unopened, still wrapped in its plastics. At long last, on the first day of my third trimester, I tried to follow the yoga moves on the CD.

Surprisingly the moves on the yoga CD were quite easy to follow, even for someone who is heavily pregnant. I did not feel tired after the exercise, but at night, for two consecutive nights, I was sleeping like a pig. The word insomnia did not even exist in my dictionary.

Since I am grossly overweight, I am hoping that the yoga exercise together with my morning walks and stairs climbing will help me to control my weight gain for the last three months of my pregnancy. On top of that, I have altered my diet to eat less carbohydrate. And eating cereal in the morning make me full till late afternoon where my lunch and tea break is taken together as a meal instead of two.

Since I would be surpassing my target weight gain of 10kg, I am praying that I will not surpass the 15kg mark. The last two pregnancy weight gains were 11kg and 13kg respectively. Maybe, just maybe my body is gearing up to feed a lot of breast milk this time round.

For as long as possible....
