Because I had a leisurely morning I missed the crowds at the gym, which was also nice! Usually it&#8217;s a freakin&#8217; mad house but there weren&#8217;t many people there by the time I arrived. Last year I went to the Warrior Room for a killer workout, this year I took it kind of easy. I was feeling kind of yucky due to some dental work and being pregnant I wasn&#8217;t all about killing myself to get a mega calorie burn before a day of marathon eating. I was more into doing everything (including eating) in moderation.<\/p>\n<p>I did my standard warm-up (PT stretches, pushups, jumping jacks) and then went into the weights part. This was my workout of the day:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Bent-over Row<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Squats (just body weights)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>2-Handed kettlebell swing<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Leg Press Machine<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Seated Cable Row<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Lat Pulldown machine<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Triceps pulldown<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Pec-fly Machine<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Then I did some &#8220;Ab&#8221; work. I use that term loosely because I wouldn&#8217;t really call it ab work these days. My usual ab routine is down to just a few things on a matt: planks, Bird Dogs, and the Glute Bridge. Then I did 3 miles on the elliptical and called it a day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_9712-e1448598351310.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48750\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_9712-e1448598351310-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9712\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_9712-e1448598351310-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_9712-e1448598351310-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got home and cleaned up and then prepped the veggie tray for dinner and then we went over to Michael&#8217;s mom&#8217;s house for the holiday.

I was already wearing stretchy pants! Yay maternity pants! The downside? I think there is less room in my body for food. LOL Oh well. I still enjoyed all my favorites!<\/p>\n<p>There was some extended family with us this year, one of which is an almost 2 year old. Who is adorable and charming. And he discovered the black-olives-on-fingers tradition for the first time, which was so cute to watch. He spent the rest of the evening sticking his finger out wanting olives. It&#8217;s hard to believe that next year this time we&#8217;ll have a little munchkin discovering new things too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_9723-e1448599409542.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48758\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_9723-e1448599409542-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9723\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_9723-e1448599409542-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_9723-e1448599409542-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I barely had room for dessert but it was my favorite so you better believe I made room!
