week ten to eleven

week eleven belly update. growing!

i still crave bagels. well, until yesterday. i finally went to the grocery store (for a while the smell and all the food was WAY too overwhelming to handle, so i avoided it and ate bagels andwhole foods salads) and discovered a new love for raisin bran. yup, good old post raisin bran, nothing fancy, but delicious with unsweetened almond milk. yum!

my appetite is coming back, full swing now. i tend to crave more and more carbs these days, hello bagels! but, having more energy i am also able to get back to my normal work outs. my midwife gave me the OK to work out as long as my body temp doesn't get over 100 degrees F, which when it is 100 degrees out, is not too hard to do. so, staying away from running outside, and hot yoga and sticking to yoga, walking and the occasional zumba class :) because they are SO much fun. if you need a zumba recommendation, let me know! if you have one, please share!

went to a deep and stretchy class with Brett this morning at Yoga Country in Brentwood and it was perfect. could have been a prenatal class, it was so nurturing and relaxing, just what i needed. a few poses that felt especially good were:

pigeon with a bolster in front so you could just melt into the earth

baddha konasana with a blanket, block or bolster in front to rest your forehead on

( i also love this supine, or on your back lying on a bolster. yum!)

and since my nausea is beginning to subside, down dog finally felt luxurious again :)

will start filming some short prenatal classes soon, so stay tuned!

ps. what would you love to see in those classes?
