Staying healthy while pregnant

Recovering from a car wreck and being pregnant are an interesting combination to deal with at once. The thing about it is that it would be easy to throw a healthy, active life out the window just to take the easy road to overcome it all. The thing is that I fall more in love what Team RWB stands for and what they work to achieve by not just focusing on our veterans and those who are currently serving, but also their families.
The concern and worry for my mom have a times made me want to take the easy road by eating whatever I could find. Although I have discovered that there are so many healthy options to eat and help me from gaining the weight that is so easy to put on while pregnant. Last week I was given a new tool to help me stay moving and healthy through the rest of my pregnancy. 
On week 2 of getting together I completed another 4 miles which helps me keep moving and feeling great. Although I was exhausted when we finished I have a lot of energy the next day which helps me keep going. At 23 weeks pregnant I am proud of myself for staying strong instead of giving into temptation.
Each week I may not get out there and run like I did before I got pregnant or lift weights like I used to, but walking is just as good to keeping me moving until my newest addition arrives. I couldn't ask for anything more from such a supportive group who helps keep me going and never allows me to give up.
