I'm so excited to be pregnant with our third baby.  I'm currently in the beginning of the second trimester and feeling a lot more like myself compared to the first trimester.  Keeping fit and strong during pregnancy is so important.  There are numerous benefits of exercising during pregnancy, among them are:

• less discomfort 
• better sleep
• being better prepared for labor 
• bouncing back quicker after delivery

And a new study shows that women who are physically active during pregnancy may give birth to babies with more advanced brains.  That's pretty awesome, right?

I was born with an innate patriotic spirit.  When I was young, my family used to go to Oriole's games at the old Oriole's Stadium.  Even at a young 6 or 7 years old, I would tear up and well up with pride during the National Anthem.  So naturally, I love Independence Day.  I love the anticipation of a long break from work, the excitement of gathering for fireworks and of course I love the BBQ's.  But there's nothing worse than overshadowing the amazing fireworks display with feeling sluggish and bloated from eating one too many hotdogs and far too much potato salad.  

We can still enjoy all of our favorite BBQ foods without sabotaging our fitness and weight loss goals.  All it takes is a little forethought and self discipline and you'll be partying it up without any post-BBQ remorse.

Here's 4 quick tips to help you out!
