6/4 Edited to

... Read moreBeing 25 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby, I've found that each pregnancy brings unique experiences and challenges. This week, I focused on staying well-hydrated, which is crucial to feeling my best. Drinking plenty of fluids not only helps with swelling but also supports my energy levels throughout the day. One of my pregnancy cravings this week was pizza—a comfort food I can keep down without nausea. Listening to my body’s cravings while maintaining balanced meals is key to enjoying pregnancy without guilt. Swimming has become my favorite form of low-impact exercise. It alleviates pregnancy-related aches and is wonderfully relaxing. After a swim, I like to unwind by watching shows like Love Island, which helps me decompress and enjoy some me-time. Managing motherhood along with pregnancy means multitasking — from school runs to hospital visits. I always make sure to ask for plates when dining out or at family meals, no matter how tired I feel, because smaller, frequent meals keep me nourished. Balancing pregnancy, motherhood, and self-care isn’t easy, but listening to my body and prioritizing rest and hydration make a solid difference. Sharing these moments helps me embrace this unique journey and connect with others navigating similar experiences.

Solid Core
I love workout classes. I recently tried a solid core class and I loved it. It is certainly a must try class. It’s extremely hard and very rewarding. It is slower movements. The ab and leg movements are extra challenging. #ThingsToDo #lemon8challenge #solidcore #workouts #pilates

Solidcore or Jetset?
Controversial take but I think Solidcore is better than Jetset. The vibes are just different. I like that they change the lighting and music is always 🔥 . What do you think? #solidcorepilates #pilatesworkout #pilatesforbeginners #lemon8creators
