Good for you! A no-sugar day is a tough one (hence my own no candy at work goal as it triggers the sugar cravings for the rest of the week, I feel like!)

Ha- yes, I did state that rather ambiguously. I wish...

Sounds awesome Kaylsikins. I agree that exercise and pregnancy are meant to go together and the best thing you can do for your recovery is preparation! Easier said than done though, I'm sure... Good luck! Oh, also- Primal Moms Look Good Naked is an interesting read re: paleo/primal diets specifically relating to women's bodies and pregnancy. It is not always the most well-backed up scientifically speaking, so a grain of salt is often necessary, but I found it interesting.

I know it is nearly midway through this challenge, but I am too eager to wait and I have some good momentum. I (re)joined a gym today and I have a running date for tomorrow. I know nothing about gaming and even the phrase "leveling up" has me very confused so I am just going to focus on my quest for now! Main Quest Really start working out, gain significant muscle and endurance, and feel proud of my body. Missions 1. Strength train 2x per week, and run/swim 2x per week 2. Read about / get professional instruction on proper technique 3. No candy at work, no beer or mixed drinks outside of work Life Goal Start going to saunas regularly, especially with friends. Motivation Treat my body well. Allow it to perform up to its amazing potential. I do have a photo of my motivation notecard on the wall, but am having technical difficulties posting it. But it's there!
