I did one yoga workout this weekend, on Friday. Other than that, my only exercise has been a couple long walks. On Saturday we hit 10,000 steps, even though it was butt-cold. Sorry for cursing, but it's cursing-level cold outside in Massachusetts. Even the cat can't take it. My whole family bundled ...

I checked the scale when I subbed in my old health room. Down 10 from when I started No S so that's all to the good. I have been feeling terribly svelte and self admiring, and then I saw the Xmas pictures (people don't take pictures of me, it's a mom thing I guess? but my dear friend did.) And I de...

I know this is going to be obvious, but this is a question for your OB/GYN first and foremost. I'm guessing you can do No S and follow the gestational diabetes diet.

Yes, I love the tiny workout, too! I run 2 miles a day, almost every day, first thing. Most "real" runners would say that's not long enough, but the stamina it gives me is great. Plus then if I throw in my normal walking, I usually do 8000-10000 steps a day.

I have a tween, and I agree that comments about the body for young women can be freighted. I remember gaining a bunch of weight in college, and though I was still probably in the normal BMI, I was SO self-conscious. That's tough.
