Then see you later building.

Checking in on my 2026 goals and recapping how I did in July!

 PERSONAL FITNESS

1. Get 10,000 steps a day (Stepbet)

Pausing on using the Sauna since the pregnancy and changing up this goal. I have to be honest, the first trimester has me pretty fatigued and the weather has been in the 90s so I haven't done much walking :( 

2. Building arm muscle to prepare for baby :)

Putting VO2 Max goal on hold as well and changing up this goal.

3. Do 1 unassisted Pull up

Was hoping to do this by the end of the year, but not sure if I can with additional weight gain, but I still want to practice this, so maybe keeping track of this progress. 

4. Working on a 3 minute plank.

Pausing on decreasing my BF % and working on core muscles to prepare for the baby

5. Rebounding for 10 minutes a day 100 times

Want to set a schedule for this but boy the dogs have been enjoying sleeping on it
