Pregnancy Journal & Bump Date: 27 Weeks

IT’S BUMP Day here and Yowza how things can change in ONE WEEK! 27weekspregnant and baby girl is 2 pounds of energy bouncing around in there.

She’s about this size of a Soursop fruit, and before I lived here in Hawaii I had NO CLUE what that was.

I’m having to change somethings up with my workouts and get back into more resistance training, which honestly I love.

HIIT work as I approach trimester 3 

was starting to become increasingly uncomfortable. I’m just so glad I have such a variety of workouts to choose from, so that there isn’t an excuse to move and do something good for my body. (You can see a sample of this weeks workouts in video’s below)

I also have been diving into research about hflc (high fat low carb) nutrition and learning the benefits of having a diet of high healthy fats during pregnancy/breastfeeding. While also only being primarily Vegetarian/Pescatarian 🍃


This is something I had started prior to getting pregnant and it makes sense to have continued since my baby girl’s brain is being developed and about 60% of the human brain is fat. Studies have shown that healthy fats like Avocado, Coconut MCT oil, and the Omegas with DHA help to improve brain functioning. 🙌🏼

So in addition to my daily superfoods I add MCT, brain octane, Avocado, and Udos omega 3.6.9. With DHA . This also has been the catalyst to me having ENERGY, not swelling and retaining fluid like I did in my first pregnancy, sleeping like a baby, and having just an overall sense of wellness throughout. I think it’s also the reason I was able to kick my terrible “morning” sickness by week 11.

So much is happening with our bodies and hormones during this time. I have found it fascinating this time around the really dial into mindfulness of what my body responds to. 

Part of what I coach others to do in my groups is explore ways to fuel their body with workouts and nutrition that best fits where they are at and what their body needs.

My next one kicks off MONDAY, there’s still time to join me!! Drop your favorite emoji below to get the details!!

Learning to listen to my body… embracing the journey
Decided that I would dive into some of the prenatal workouts specifically for Trimester 2 in my Virtual Gym, cause I’m finally at a point at #27weekspregnant where my “Go To” Full Out workouts are in need some serious modifications 😳 (This baby be GROWING 😂) .

I laugh at myself now because I used to say “oh I can’t do home workouts, there’s not enough variety. I’d be bored” .

Yet here I am almost 4 years later, having done these workouts almost EVERYDAY and STILL there are some that are brand NEW to me with more THAT ARE RELEASED ALL THE TIME. .

Not only that but I’ve made it a part of my daily life, when I used to settle for getting a gym workout in maybe 3-4 times a week MAX. Raise your hand if you’ve had a gym membership that barely got used 🤚🏼 .

Now almost 4 years later I’ve successfully helped HUNDREDS of others start and stay committed to their journey the same way I did in my Online wellness studio. .

Hey these amazing workouts at home don’t have to replace your gym time, or active lifestyle, I still love getting to the yoga studio when I can or out for a hike or paddle board, but let’s be real and say that as an expectant mama with an active 5 year old, and deployed hubby THIS is a much better time efficient solution to making sure I don’t put a bunch of excuses between me and my best health and fitness!! .

My next group starts MONDAY, and I have an incredible Spring Fit Summer Strong special that gets you an ENTIRE YEARS access to me, my coaching, 400+ workouts, meal plans, resources, daily check ins with me, and more…. for LESS THAN 200 bucks!

Lower Body Burn
Working the lower body and multiple muscle groups all at once revs up your metabolism, AND for us expectant mamas lower body work helps prep us for labor and gets us the biggest bang for our buck when it comes to getting the most amount of BURN 🔥 in the least amount of time. .

This 30 min Lower Body Circuit had my big muscle groups on 🔥🔥 and gave me to boost I needed to tackle a super packed day of running all over the island. .

It’s sometimes a struggle to “get going” but once you do it’s the work you put in that will carry you through the day!! .

Definitely got my #Sweatingfortwo in today. As I approach my #3rdtrimester I’ve started transitioning back into more resistance training, instead of the cardio HIIT work that felt good through most of this second trimester. .

There has just been a noticeable shift in what my body is responding too, and feels good doing. IT’S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE PAY ATTENTION TO OUR BODIES CUES. .

Bellies, Bands, and Bunzzzzzzz
Where are my weekend warriors at?!? 🙌🏼 today’s workout was all about the Lower Body and Bands. My resistance band and @baobeimaternity belly band, and to feel a little extra burn 🔥 I added 7 lb ankle weights. .

This is one of the workouts I’ll do on vacation too! Only 20 mins, you can throw you band in your bag and you don’t need much room,and it’s always a good time to throw in a Booty workout 😊🍑 .
