Aunt Lena's house was perfect, in a pop-culturish sort of way.
She had a tri-level before most bi-levels had developed envy of the neighbors' extra stairways.
Her bathroom fixtures were all pink, on floors of light green hexagonal tiles, and her kitchen had aqua appliances—even the sink—that rested on a black and white linoleum floor.
Aunt Lena's house was the essence of what we now dub "retro." In fact they probably fashioned retro out of photographs of her home.
I loved Aunt Lena's living room, her plush sectional sofa sprawled behind a kidney-shaped coffee table. On that table were the latest issues of Life and National Geographic Magazines, so when teachers asked for examples of recent history, or stories about other countries, I went to her house with scissors.
The living room was on the house's middle level, just inside the entry door, in front of a picture window. Beautiful. In December, when the Christmas tree was up, the outdoor view was stunning.
Aunt Lena was ahead of the times, and in the '60s, when aluminum trees became the rage, hers was first to show up in the window, showing glittery gold balls and all blue lights.
But Aunt Lena was wise, and had a second tree—a live balsam fir—in a corner window of the downstairs recreation room. Even though the upstairs one was more stylish, the balsam was the treasure, decorated with family ornaments and lights that looked like little candles. That was the tree I loved.
My aunt would stand on a ladder for hours, placing tinsel on that tree. She hung the strands one by one, side by side, one branch at a time, and when she finished, the branches were laden with "icicles," so thick and precise, I could squint my eyes and be carried away by its ethereal loveliness.
But at Aunt Lena's house, that outward beauty simply housed the beauty of what lay within.
In the classic kitchen, she prepared enormous Italian meals every Sunday morning, knowing for sure that all corners of the family would venture over after Mass. There were no plans. She just knew they would come. She believed it, and it always happened. She had faith.
In the living room, on the coffee table, Aunt Lena placed her hope. She wanted her beloved granddaughter to attend the college she herself attended, so she spread the school's brochures, where all could browse. Aunt Lena was never subtle, but constantly hopeful.
And in the pink bathroom, Aunt Lena always left out her bottle of my favorite colored nail polish "Revlon Frosted Butter Pecan." She knew I would find it, and even though I was too young to wear it, my aunt would say, "Go on. Just try it!" She loved me. Her love was jolly, sincere, and obvious.
These days I don't think of Aunt Lena's house, as much as what it represented. At Thanksgiving I'm grateful for those young years I got to spend there, where my mother, Big Kate, and her sister Lena, taught me faith, joy, love, and respect.
During Advent I remain hopeful. The things we wished for in our youth were miniscule as nail polish, I know now. But those wishes hopefully colored our ability to understand and lead our own children, helping them live virtuous lives while happily growing up in our homes. We may not have chic tri-levels, but we can fill them with generosity and thoughtfulness, like Aunt Lena filled her Christmas tree with tinsel.
And I'm joyful, because Jesus came to us then, as he would come to us in all the centuries that were to follow: in a manger. As adults we can also see his presence in our children. And now, their children.
I believe the happiness in my own heart came from those early years of preparation, anticipation, and then realization. After we put up the trees and admired the tinsel, we were gifted with the grace that came through the Lord Jesus' birth.
I wait for you in thanksgiving and hope, Lord God.
And I praise you with love, Jesus. Sweet baby Jesus.
Aunt Lena's house was perfect, in a pop-culturish sort of way. She had a tri-level before most bi-levels had developed envy of the neighbors' extra stairways.

Good car with major engine problem
By New Honda Owner on Monday, April 30, 2018During the first 3000 miles I would have rated the CRV excellent in most categories. It is comfortable and roomy for both myself at over 6 feet tall, and my wife at 5 feet tall. The acceleration and gas mileage (25mpg around town) are both very good. I miss having a heated steering wheel and vented seats, which are not available on the CRV. However, at 3200 miles a serious engine problem showed up. At 70mph the car suddenly slowed, lost power, the check engine light came on, and multiple electrical systems reported malfunctions in the dash display. The car was towed to the Honda dealer and diagnosed with excess gas (approximately one quart) in the oil. The oil and filter was changed as a temporary solution, and a tech line case was opened with Honda. I was told at this time there is no permanent recall or fix. I was advised that this is a known problem in cold climates where the car is used for short drives and does not warm up completely. Since then I have learned that all CRVs with the 1.5 liter turbocharged engine have been recalled in China for the same problem. If you live in a cold climate I would not recommend this car at this time.

By Cliff on Saturday, April 07, 2018The turbo engine in the EX and above models has a major problem. Fuel is getting into the oil. Oil level rises. This problem has been reported on 2016 - 2018 models but no fix yet. Im hopeful. Other than that, this is a great car, but I cant recommend it to others. Just do a web search

At 4500 miles .... Gas in the Oil !
By Gas in my oil ! on Wednesday, May 23, 2018Wow....Major oil dilution is occurring. No I dont take short trips, 15 mile Hyw. commute. Honda said they are looking into it but wouldnt do anything else. I said they had a major recall in China for the same reason and had offered extended warranties. The reply was, they are studying the problem. Ok study Honda...but the fact is any one whom has a quart of gas in their oil is having their engine compromised. I dont think any study is necessary on that fact. So dragging your feet is not being up front or valuing your customers. CRV EX 1.5 T

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 18, No. 2 December 1991 Stevan K. Olson SOUTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY and Charles W. Wootton EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY SUBSTANCE AND SEMANTICS IN THE AUDITOR'S STANDARD REPORT Abstract: The most recent effort at restating the auditor's standard report, SAS 58, is the most comprehensive statement of the auditor's role that has ever been adopted. It is an acknowledgment that the previous report had become an ineffective communication of the audit function and was perhaps too cautious in circumscribing the auditor's public responsibilities. This paper compares and analyzes the termi-nology of the standard report throughout the professions's history with particular emphasis on the recent years leading up to SAS 58. An exhibit compares the parallel terminology and the social, economic and political issues that resulted in each revision. Additionally, some assessment of the potential future changes to the report are presented. "In a simple matter such as an auditor's certificate we fail to see why any legal interference is called for. What the public and shareholders want is a readable assurance from the accountants, stating in plain English what they really have done" [The Accountant, 1883]. This statement is as fitting today for the public accounting profession in the United States as it was more than 100 years ago in the United Kingdom. The public accounting profession then, as now, was searching for an effective statement to the public and the shareholder that would tell "what they really have done" when an audit had been performed. The profession has responded many times to this same request by modifying the auditor's standard report to be a more effective communication. However, the gap between the reality of what the auditor has done and the public and shareholder's perception of what has been done has persisted, or is at least repeatedly reopened. The "gap" that has been the focus of discussion for more than a decade has two dimensions, a semantic dimension and a sub-stance dimension. The semantic dimension is concerned with the common understanding of the terms and concepts used in the auditor s standard report. Terms and concepts used may have dif-

Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end In this article we will explain how to accomplish a successful suspension to RAM using hibernate-script.
Different methods of suspending to RAM
There is an application, called
s2ram, which contains a "whitelist" of known laptop models and, according to what has been reported by other owners of these laptops, tries to do the right things for that specific laptop. The whitelisted laptops can therefore use
s2ram to suspend to RAM "out of the box". Non-whitelisted laptops need to try different command line options of
s2ram in order to determine - by trial and error - the appropriate "tricks" needed to make suspend and resume work. Your experience, if reported to the
s2ram developers, will contribute to whitelist your machine in the next release of
s2ram is not the only resource: the hibernate-script, which is commonly used to accomplish Suspend to Disk , supports also suspension to RAM and proposes some further tricks which could convince your machine to suspend to RAM and resume properly. Moreover, the hibernate-script can automatize other useful operations which you could want/need to do before suspension or after resuming from suspension to RAM.
Thus, the first part of this article will be devoted to
s2ram. The second will discuss the use of the hibernate-script in suspension to RAM. In particular, we will see how the hibernate-script can be used to suspend to RAM your system just with the
s2ram, but providing some additional tweakings. Finally, we will mention the possibility to suspend the machine both to RAM and to disk.
Please note that the way to trigger resume from a suspended to RAM machine depends from your BIOS settings and is not predictable in general (sometimes it is enough to press a key whatsoever). If
s2ram seems to work, but something goes wrong in the suspension cycle, then some driver or some process is causing problems and you should look at the hibernate section to see how the hibernate-script can help you. In the worst case, your machine has been erroneously whitelisted due to an inadequate report from another owner of the same machine. You should then report your case to the firstname.lastname@example.com, so that the previous mistaken report can stand corrected. In this case, you should quote the identification strings provided by
s2ram -i.
s2ram doesn't match your machine to an entry in its whitelist, it will output some general purpose identification strings for your machine (the same as those provided
s2ram -i). In this case, you will have to force
s2ram to suspend your machine by using
s2ram -f.
s2ram -f doesn't work, try the different workarounds offered by
s2ram. Run
s2ram -h to get a list of the possible options:
# s2ram -h Usage: s2ram [-nhi] [-fspmrav] Options: -h, --help: this text. -n, --test: test if the machine is in the database. returns 0 if known and supported -i, --identify: prints a string that identifies the machine. -f, --force: force suspending, even on unknown machines. The following options are only available with -f/--force: -s, --vbe_save: save VBE state before suspending and restore after resume. -p, --vbe_post: VBE POST the graphics card after resume -m, --vbe_mode: get VBE mode before suspend and set it after resume -r, --radeontool: turn off the backlight on radeons before suspending. -a, --acpi_sleep: set the acpi_sleep parameter before suspend 1=s3_bios, 2=s3_mode, 3=both -v, --pci_save: save the PCI config space for the VGA card.
Try the following variations:
s2ram -f -a 1 s2ram -f -a 2 s2ram -f -a 3 s2ram -f -p -m s2ram -f -p -s s2ram -f -m s2ram -f -s s2ram -f -p s2ram -f -a 1 -m s2ram -f -a 1 -s
If none of those combinations work, start again but add the
-v switch.
Note that mixing the
-a options and the vbetool options (
is normally only a measure of last resort, it usually does not make much
If you find several combinations that work (e.g.
s2ram -f -a 3 and
s2ram -f -p -m both work on your machine),
the in-kernel method (
-a) should be preferred over the userspace methods (
Verify all combinations in both cases when reporting success to the
s2ram developers:
- when issuing
s2ramfrom console
- when issuing
s2ramfrom X
You should really try ANY combination of these options (the only exception is the radeontool one, which can be useuful only if you have a radeon card), until you find a working combination. When you find a working combination, try to reduce it (that is try to see if any of the options are redundant). With any working combination of options, it is crucial to verify that suspension and resuming work fine both if you suspend from X and if you suspend from the plain console. Actually, in many setups the most tricky thing is to suspend and resume properly from the console. In the best case,
s2ram -f is enough: this means that your machine does not require any trick to properly suspend and resume.
There is a trick which does not correspond to a command line option, because it requires additional operations from you. It is marked with NOFB in the whitelist and used for those laptops which suspend and resume properly only if no framebuffer is used. If you verify that no command line option of
s2ram works, you can try disabling the framebuffer. To do this, you need to edit your bootloader configuration, remove any possible
vga=<foo> values from the kernel line and reboot. This at least if you use the VESAFB framebufeer (as in the arch default kernel). If you use a different framebuffer driver, refer to the documentation of the driver to see how to disable it.
After you have identified the shortest working combination of options, you should do two things. First, you will want to modify the whitelist for your local copy of
s2ram to allow your machine to suspend and resume without any special options. Second, you will want to let the developers of
s2ram know what options are needed for your machine so it can be added to the whitelist for future releases
Finally, it may happen that no trick makes
s2ram work. In this case - before giving up - you can use some last-resort tricks provided by the hibernation-script discussed later in this article.
To add your machine to the local whitelist for
s2ram, you need to customize the package. Download the uswsusp-git tarball, extract it and run
makepkg -o to download the sources. After this, edit the file
You will see something like this:
struct machine_entry whitelist[] = { { "IBM", "", "ThinkPad X32", "", RADEON_OFF|S3_BIOS|S3_MODE }, /* Michael Wagner <email@example.com> */ { "4MBOL&S", "7521 *", "REV. A0", "", 0 }, /* Alexander Wirt */ ... }
Add a new entry using the same format as the others. The first four fields identify your machine and are provided by:
# s2ram -i
sys_vendor = "Acer, inc." sys_product = "Aspire 1640 " sys_version = "Not Applicable" bios_version = "3A05"
Copy these values between the first four sets of quotes. The fifth field identifies which tricks are needed for your machine, seperate each of the tricks with a | character, like the other lines in the file. If no tricks were required, set it to 0.
Now force a recompilation and reinstallation of uswsusp-git with makepkg -efi (The -e prevents makepkg from overwriting your customized whitelist.c). Your machine should now suspend properly with a plain:
# s2ram
You can now report your identification strings and any tricks required to the firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list. Please specify always that everything works both from X and from the plain console.
The hibernate-script and suspension to RAM
The hibernate-script, developed in the field of the tuxonice project for suspend-to-disk method, can be used also to suspend your machine to RAM. Actually, you can also try to do this directly, performing the required operations before calling the ACPI S3 state. However, the
s2ram seems to be the leading method nowadays and, through the named whitelist, should assure in the future that virtually any laptop can suspend to RAM without too much hassle. So, the actually best way to use the power of the hibernate-script for suspension to RAM is to use it to call
You can edit
/etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf to select
ususpend-ram.conf as the default action called by:
# hibernate
Just put the following as the first uncommented line:
TryMethod ususpend-ram.conf
However, may be that you want to use the hibernate-script primarily to suspend to disk. In that case you should resort to the ram-specific configuration file from the command line:
# hibernate -F /etc/hibernate/ususpend-ram.conf
Now you should configure the script. Please note that the options that you put in
/etc/hibernate/common.conf will be used anytime you call hibernate (that is also for suspension to disk). On the contrary, the options in
/etc/hibernate/ususpend-ram.conf will be used only when you suspend to RAM with the
s2ram method.
The hibernate-script options are exhaustively described in the man page
First of all, may be that some module is preventing you from accomplishing a proper suspension cycle. In this case, list it in the UnloadModules: it will be unloaded before suspension and reloaded after resuming. Note that the hibernation script already does this for some blacklisted modules, whose list is
If you discover that a module is guilty, you should report this to the firstname.lastname@example.com, so that the bad behaviour of the module can be fixed.
May be also that your display is the guilty and that the tricks provided by
s2ram are not enough. The hibernate-script has some further tricks:
The relevant block of options is the following:
### vbetool #EnableVbetool yes #RestoreVbeStateFrom /var/lib/vbetool/vbestate #VbetoolPost yes # RestoreVCSAData yes
### xhacks #SwitchToTextMode yes #UseDummyXServer yes #DummyXServerConfig xorg-dummy.conf
However, most of these tricks are already attempted by
s2ram and you should not duplicate the effort. Only three tricks in this section are specific to the script. The first is to uncomment both the following two lines:
EnableVbetool yes RestoreVbeStateFrom /var/lib/vbetool/vbestate
Please note that, while
s2ram uses an internal vbetool component, the hibernate-script relies on the vbetool package in the extra repo, so you should install it. Basically, this combination of options do something similar to the
s2ram option, but, instead of restoring the state saved immediately before suspension, it restores a state manually saved by the user in the file /var/lib/vbetool/vbestate (or any other file you have chosen). You can try to save the state in a peculiar safe situation, like immediately after booting, or before any switching from X to console and back. You can save the state with the following command:
# vbetool vbestate save > /var/lib/vbetool/vbestate
The second peculiar trick (very often required!) is to uncomment the following line:
SwitchToTextMode yes
The script will switch from X to console before suspension and back to X after a successful resuming.
Finally, the UseDummyXServer trick uses a second XServer, with a minimal safe configuration only during the suspension cycle, restoring the full fledged X server only after a complete resume. This can be useful with cards with problematic proprietary drivers: the dummy xserver will use the standard vesa driver instead. Anyway, this last trick should be seldom useful nowadays, because also proprietary drivers seem to support suspension without too many problems.
The hibernate-script gives you many other useful possibilities (such as restarting services, unmounting partitions, ejecting pccards, and so on). Read about them in the man pages.
If you do not explicitly restore the volume level, ALSA may have the sound channels muted after resuming. If this happens, you can edit
/etc/suspend.conf by adding
RestartServices alsa
Automatic suspend and wakeup
Once you have suspend to RAM working, you will probably want it to happend automatically e.g., when you close the laptop lid.
There are several ways to do this. The easiest is to use a high-level power management tool such as KDE's PowerDevil. Another is to create your own ACPI event handler scripts.
Automatic suspend, the hard way
ACPI events are managed by configuration files in
/etc/acpi/events/. (The laptop-mode-tools package contains some examples). A default configuration file called 'anything' is provided by the acpid package, which runs
/etc/acpi/handler.sh on every event.
An simple event configuration file to manage the opening and closing of a laptop lid (that could be called
/etc/acpi/events/lid) looks like this:
event=button[ /]lid action=/etc/acpi/actions/lid_handler.sh %e
The first line specifies the names of the events applicable to this file with a regexp. You can get the names of events by enabling event logging in acpid and looking at
The second line specifies an executable to be run when an applicable event occurs. The
%e is a variable containing arguments that the event provides. It's a good idea to provide them to the program.
It's customary to put handling programs in
/etc/acpi/actions/. A possible implementation of
lid_handler.sh in the previous example could be:
#!/bin/sh # check if the lid is open or closed, using the /proc file if grep closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state >/dev/null ; then # if the lid is now closed, save the network state and suspend to RAM netcfg all-suspend pm-suspend else # if the lid is now open, restore the network state. # (if we are running, a wakeup has already occured!) netcfg all-resume fi
The same example, adapted for wicd instead of netcfg:
#!/bin/sh # check if the lid is open or closed, using the /proc file if grep closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state >/dev/null ; then # if the lid is now closed, save the network state and suspend to RAM /usr/lib/wicd/suspend.py pm-suspend else # if the lid is now open, restore the network state. # (if we are running, a wakeup has already occured!) /usr/lib/wicd/autoconnect.py fi
Remember to make it executable. With some basic knowledge of shell scripting, you have a lot of possibilities.
Controlling wakeup
The ACPI events that trigger wakeup are controlled through the procfile /proc/acpi/wakeup. An example output is:
root@hex in /proc/acpi $ cat wakeup Device S-state Status Sysfs node LID S3 *enabled PBTN S4 *enabled MBTN S5 enabled PCI0 S3 disabled no-bus:pci0000:00 USB0 S0 disabled pci:0000:00:1d.0 USB1 S0 disabled pci:0000:00:1d.1 USB2 S0 disabled pci:0000:00:1d.2 USB3 S0 disabled pci:0000:00:1d.3 EHCI S0 disabled pci:0000:00:1d.7 AZAL S3 disabled pci:0000:00:1b.0 PCIE S4 disabled pci:0000:00:1e.0 RP01 S4 disabled pci:0000:00:1c.0 RP02 S3 disabled RP03 S3 disabled RP04 S3 disabled pci:0000:00:1c.3 RP05 S3 disabled RP06 S3 disabled
To toggle whether an event will trigger a wakeup, pipe its name into the /proc/acpi/wakeup. (Note that every name in the file must have 4 letters, so if it is shorter e.g. LID, it needs be prepended with spaces). So to prevent opening the laptop lid from triggering a wakeup, you could do:
root@hex in /proc/acpi $ echo " LID" > wakeup root@hex in /proc/acpi $ cat wakeup Device S-state Status Sysfs node LID S3 *disabled PBTN S4 *disabled MBTN S5 disabled PCI0 S3 disabled no-bus:pci0000:00 ...
Another thing to note is that the PBTN and MBTN events were also toggle with the LID event. Sometimes events are linked, so that all of them will be enable and disabled in unison. Checking the 'dmesg' command can confirm this:
root@hex in /proc/acpi $ dmesg ... ACPI: 'PBTN' and 'LID' have the same GPE, can't disable/enable one separately ACPI: 'MBTN' and 'LID' have the same GPE, can't disable/enable one separately
This may not actually affect the other events. On a Dell Inspiron 6400, for example, the power button always triggers a wake up. Your mileage may vary.
None of this will persist between boots, so you might want to add the echo command to
/etc/rc.local so it is executed on every boot:
# disable the laptop lid switch echo " LID" > /proc/acpi/wakeup

The Perfect Pregnancy Plan
In the future, much as there is discussion about an optimal training plan, women will talk about the optimal pregnancy plan: to lose weight and get into the shape of their lives.
But let's back up. Why isn't it like that now? (and why do you feel that just because I suggest it, I'm perverse??) Well, Heather said it best in her comments: our way of looking at pregnancy is "anitquated". In the 19th century, life was different in the sense that only the upper class had the "luxury" of a pregnancy of rest and lots of weight gain. I imagine that (as is true today) pregnancy outcomes were greatly influenced by socio-economic class and thus these women did at least appear to have healthier pregnancies.
During the 20th century, women gradually looked at physical activity and leanness as desirable. But the rules about pregnancy weight gain and being sedentary remained. Thus women saw their physical condition and weight as something they had to "sacrifice" for the health of the baby. Women now typically get out of shape and overweight due to pregnancy. And most never get back to their pre-pregnancy weight or physical condition. And that's why you find my suggestion "perverse" - because it should be a time of sacrifice. (But while sacrifices for a good reason are noble, sacrificies without reason are simply self-gratifying).
And women don't always make "sacrifices" if they don't find them convenient. Some women go on drinking large amounts of alcohol while pregnant and we have learned from them that babies don't do well when drowned in alcohol. The would have done well making a "sacrifice". Other women went against conventional wisdom and ran multiple marathons, crossed the English Chanel swimming or won biking or running races while pregnant. The reason these women did this is perhaps not difficult for my readers to understand: exercise is healthy when not pregnant - it hardly makes sense that it wouldn't be while pregnant. The body of evidence showing it's health and safety grows and grows: these women have healthy kids.
And not only do they have healthy kids, they have healthier kids. They don't get overweight and they score better on tests of motor and verbal development.
The new "sacrifice" will thus be - I am giving up my unhealthy sendentary lifestyle and my extra pounds during this pregnancy. Pregnancy is wonderful for many, many reasons - among which is a golden opportunity to get into the shape of your life.
Let's consider the example of Stefanie Shocke. She just had a beautiful 7lb 9oz little girl. How much weight would you wager she gained? Answer: 9-10 lbs. (Bet that wasn't your guess unless you have been reading her blog). Even more impressive is the fact that she set a very fast PR in both the marathon (3:31 at 22 weeks) and half marathon (1:35 at 18 weeks) distances midway through her pregnancy! SHE exemplifies the Perfect Pregnancy Plan.
If you are reading this and thinking "everyone already agrees with you, SLG, so just shut it already!", then you have been spending too much time reading my blog. (No, not too much time, just time :)).
Here are the recommendations from the ACOG castle (that's the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, of course):
pregnant women should be encouraged to engage in regular, moderate intensity physical activity
(am I the only one who reads this and wonders - if intense is dangerous, then is moderate a little dangerous?)
And here's a quote from Running Times Nov. 2010.
As the research suggests, in most cases, runners are encouraged to run through much of pregnancy, but not to set any big training goals. While more than 30 minutes may be safe, this is not the time to hog mileage. Smart training will ward off stress fractures and sprains, as well as keep the baby healthy. Like a monster hill at mile 25 of a marathon, knowing what to expect can make all the difference.
I remember clearly reading this the first time and thinking "what the hell does that mean?" - basically the whole paragraph is a confusing mess. But "not the time to hog mileage" - why does there always have to be a guilt trip - and for no reason??? Sometimes all of this bullshit makes me throw up in my mouth. This whole "take it easy, don't do too much" comes from no scientific evidence and is simply ANTIQUATED. I applaud people who set new training goals, run farther and faster than ever. Heck, I ran way more miles a day during my very own first pregnancy than I had ever run before - why is it exactly that the working hypothesis is this is dangerous?
Because all of our working hypotheses stem from (another Heather quote I love) "you must rest during pregnancy, you poor delicate reproductive blob"
And here in Denmark, it is no different: - no high intensity exercise, - no long-distance running, - nothing more intense than you did before you became pregnant. Says the Danish Ministry of Health.
Not only is the above not supported by research, but it is confusing. Again what is "high intensity" - running up a hill? running a 100 miler?
I have imagined many possible scenarios in which a study could be done which would clear up this confusion. But these studies are really hard to do - I get tired just thinking of all of the confounders. The truth is more and more women will find they become more physically active than they were before pregnancy and more will participate in sports at an intense level. And this is how or views of exercise in pregnancy will change. You may not agree with me - but your kids will!
And since I'm prophesying - the weight gain recommendations will also continue to come down or widen. They were just lowered in 2009 after the recommendation of the Institutes of Medicine and now women who are normal weight should gain between 25-35 lbs. Some women can "get away" with gaining this much - and it certainly must be genetic. But many, many women who eat healthy, listen to their bodies and exercise find they gain significantly less than is currently recommended. And they are more likely to return quickly to their pre-pregnancy weight.
As I have discussed before, the current recommendations are based on one study, where women who gained less in the second trimester had babies that did worse. But the study is flawed from the outset because babies who have an illness or condition to begin with often don't grow correctly and thus these mothers ALSO gain less - making it appear as though the mother's weight gain was the problem when the baby had the problem from the beginning. Anyway, I am certain the weight gain guidelines will also widen to include much lower weight gains as being healthy. One day.
Now I am tired of writing.
I will simply mention that I had a beautiful 3 hour run in the hilly woods around Næstved - and have to admit this was the running song of the day (since I may have listened to it 8 times): Go Do by Jónsi. (Thanks for the rec again Steve Q. I have decided you are allowed to make a running music library for me to save me some time :).)
Edit: Okay, I rarely add something to my posts as an afterthought, but I really need to make one thing clear (thought it would just be assumed, but it's actually not that obvious) - there is no "perfect plan" for every pregnant woman, just like there is no "perfect plan" for everyone who wants to run fast. There are only perfect plans for every individual. Stefanie's pregnancy was simply one example of a plan. And if you're more for the high mileage preganncy, then I guess you'd be following more of my sort of plan. The LAST thing I wanted to do was make people scared or guilty because they feel they're not doing enough.

I think the intensity depends on what is normal for you. I am a marathoner, and ran through both of my pregnancies (though not as much with my second pregnancy because of some injuries I had post-partum from my first).
My doctor was 100 percent behind running while pregnant, both times. Even though the first time I had low fluid issues and IUGR. I had the same issues the second time, along with pre-term labor. Both times, she attributed it to other things (my mom had and sister had identical pregnancies; neither one of them were runners).
It was interesting to me that I ran half as much with my second pregnancy, yet gained nearly the same amount (both well under the recommendations, despite nonstop eating).
It sounds awful, but I always wondered if my running caused my problems the first time around. When it happened again the second time, I felt better, knowing it really wasn't my fault (even though my doctor repeatedly said it wasn't -- I always wondered).
And just further proof your body does what it wants -- whether that is to gain 15 pounds or 50, you know? And I love how people go on about how unhealthy you are if you gain under the amount (even if it wasn't through restriction, etc.,) but never if you go OVER, which is also unhealthy.
I don't know. Just rambling. I find your blog to be pretty interesting.

I only have a moment and am not at home where I could access Clapp's book but I was curious as to what you thoughts are about his comments on weight gain, since I know you have quoted him often. :-) I just read the book and was surprised that while he said that regular exercise during pregnancy could limit weight gain he also mentioned something about competitive athletes gaining a little while trying to conceive and then a pound per week (I will have to go back and check on that to be sure it's accurate) after that. Personally I think that a 9 pound gain is along the lines of my friends on the other spectrum who gain 40-50 pounds (while exercising and eating well, seriously) and then lose it all. I still think that encouraging activity and a good diet while putting out moderate weight gain guidelines is better, especially mentally, overall, but that's just me! Thanks for posting this!

You talk about the health of the baby, but I am curious about your data on how running long distances into late pregnancy affects the well-being of the mother. The only two people I know of who have run long distances (i.e., 40+ miles a week) into late pregnancy (both with very little weight-gain)experienced extremely painful injuries in the last few weeks that made it almost impossible to walk, much less to continue running until the end. I'm thinking that this should at least be a consideration in your studies, conjectures and recommendations . . .

Great post (not only because you quoted an excellent source :p) As a lay person I look at these recommendations for exercise during pregnancy and think, either nobody has any clue, OR they just don't want to say too much in case they get sued. Because really, what does "moderate intensity" mean? A tempo run but not a VO2 Max workout? Don't even get me started on the recommendation I read on a German website that weightlifting is ok, but please with "light weights only." Where is the evidence for that one? Why, if I can currently do (e.g.) biceps curls with 25lb free weights, should I suddenly downgrade to the pastel barbie weights? Are my arms going to snap off due to rising HCG levels? Argh.
I think you make a good point about the notion of "sacrifice," especially women's "sacrifices" as regards their own bodies. It seems like a lot of women think of physical fitness itself as a kind of sacrifice, something they "have" to do, giving up junk food or sweets or whatever and doing boring exercise in the name of looking good (mainly for a man, also to be considered socially adequate...). And then pregnancy means you have to sacrifice that for the good of your baby...it is like the body is always some sort of common property and its state of fitness/lack thereof a signifier for how you're doing what's considered the right thing so nobody can judge you.
So what you are suggesting is a form of taking back one's own body, doing the right thing for oneself and one's child and not for the sake of some airheaded cultural notion of femininity.
Man, here I go again with my meandering theoretical constructions, sorry!! But this is just such a fascinating topic.

- heather said...
on a practical note (and I do not have any medical training so I can't really say much about that aspect...), given that pregnancy symptoms, weight gain etc. vary so much from woman to woman, I wonder if it is realistic for everyone to take pregnancy as a time to set half marathon PR's. Just thinking of the horror stories you hear of constant vomiting for three months...or what Steph said in her comment, that some women suffer injuries from running in late pregnancy...or even just that some people seem to gain more than others for no discernible reason, even if they train and eat well. But I completely agree that the current so-called guidelines are inadequate, unscientific and downright lame (that's right, ACOG, I called you lame.) and the attitudes that go along with it need...well...reeducation?

- The Chapples said...
So how do you explain that you exercise a LOT more than I do (I just run, and currently ~45 mpw, all pretty slow miles - between 8:35 and 9:10 pace) and we've gained about the same amount in our pregnancies being just days apart (I've gained 5 pounds now)? :P I am just messing with you. I agree with Jacqueline that I think people's bodies just do what they need to do. I am exactly where I was weight-gain in my last pregnancy. I had gained 10 pounds by 20 weeks, 19 when I delivered.
I have other blogs that I read of super fast mamas who crank out all sorts of miles during pregnancy and still gain 35-40 pounds. Again, I think their bodies just do what they need to do. No explanation.
One of the previous posters mentioned higher mileage and the correlation with injuries and I've seen the same thing (including in myself). I am already feeling the same tight psoas and cranky pubic bone at just 16 weeks. I am much more worried about being a healthy runner post-partum than busting my butt now and being in pain.
Rambling...so, activity is awesome! I just hesitate to think that mega-distances do anything useful during those 9 months.
- 16 February 2011 at 23:55
I also think that intensity depends on what is normal for you. I think a person can run high mileage during pregnancy, and do speed work, but I do think it is incredibly important not to run completely out of breath. Baby will always get blood/oxygen in the uterus, but the question is will it get ENOUGH to thrive when you are overexerting.
About weight gain...that also totally depends on the person... some are so nauseous during pregnancy they don t gain a pound (net).

i think it's imperative that, just as we don't like it when the ACOG bases recommendations for all pregnant womens' exercise on one study, we don't recommend EVERYONE exercise massive intensity and max miles and 9# weight gain to everyone. pregnancy is a time when we MUST listen to our body... perhaps even moreso than when not pregnant (tho i'm a big advocate of listening to our body then, too, of course). it's NOT the time for everyone to expect to set a marathon PR... it's about continuing on your journey, whatever that is. it's about maximizing your health. it's not about getting into a contest about how little weight one can gain relative to someone else... if you can run 10 sec faster than someone else... if you can run post-baby at 8 days vs 10 days of someone else... maximize your health, your baby's health, be internal about your motivations... competitiveness is one thing, but pregnancy is your experiment of one... so compete with yourself.
this isn't a msg directed at you, slg, i'm a physical therapist, ultrarunner, mom of one... so it's to any of my patients, or you, or me on future child #2, or whoever.

kzpt - good point about not being competitive with others while pregnant. I gave Stefanie as an example because she DID seem to listen to her body and had a great pregnancy and was not afraid of doing so despite guidelines. Just wanted to point out that we can take advantage of pregnancy to get into better shape - however we feel like doing it. That WAS a really important point to clear up.
The Chapples - well, I'm not sure if I should interpret your comment on weight gain as competing with me or what. But if you are truly interested - I have now been pregnant 3 times (including the miscarriage) and all times I have gained over 4 lbs in the first 6 weeks. Seems wild, I know, but I believe it is simply expanded blood volume. I seem to get short of breath to the extreme - even before my preg tests turn positive so I think my body expands blood volume really quickly. I did those 3 hour hills yesterday and am now no more short of breath than I am unpregnant - so the expanding of the expanding blood volume seems to have been complete long ago. It's all just a theory - but I'm stickin to it!
Also - could you send me the links to the blogs of women who ran "lots" of miles while pregnant and gained 35-45 lbs? - this I've gotta see (because I simply don't believe it!).

I'm thin and when I got pregnant I did not use it as an excuse to eat anything I wanted. In fact, I ran during my pregnancy and continued to eat healthy. I gained a total of 40 pounds. I only wanted to gain 20. There was nothing physical I could do to gain less. I felt like it was beyond my control. Even though I exercised and did not eat large portions- I kept my calorie intake on the low end, I still gained the weight. My point is, women don't all use pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy and get fat. Even the ones who gain more than the recommended amount (me). I weighed 125 before my pregnancy and I weigh that amount now (2 years later). During my last trimester, my body was completely beyond my control despite the running and watching my diet. To push women to thinking they should try to keep their weight gain between two numbers when pregnant is ridiculous. Each body is different.
- 17 February 2011 at 07:49
Sealegsgirl, I think there is no way to make 5 pounds of increased blood volume in 6 weeks. My guess is based on the following: I used this calculator on calculating the blood volume of my non-pregnant self (I am 1,72 m and 56 kg)
This would give me aboout 3,8 l of blood. A highly trained endurance athlete might add 10-15%. So a person of my height and weight (and you probably do not weight as much as I do) might at the very last have 4,2 ml of blood. The estimations of the pregnancy-induced increase vary widely, but an increase of 50% seems to be the highest figure. I could find (many sources suggest it is only 35-40%). This would make an increase og 1,6 l throughout your whole pregnancy. Also, blood volume increases gradually from 6-8 weeks onwards:http://www.nda.ox.ac.uk/wfsa/html/u09/u09_003.htm
Don´t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your weight gain but I tink the symptoms you are experiencing might rather be caused by a widening of the blood wessels or soem hormonal thing...

WNLitigator - I think my problem is I tend to think everyone is just like me, but of course they are not. And if I start creating guilt for women who gain more or exercise less intensely, then I've completely failed to encourage what I intended - which is simply that women not be afraid and feel themselves in the position to get into good shape without worrying.
There is of course no "perfect plan" for everyone - only maybe a perfect plan for an individual.

Re injury - many of you brought up my big "chalenge" this pregnancy and that is attempting to avoid injury. So far that involved running hard/long every other day alternating with cross training and shoes for forefoot running which hopefully will protect my hips. But very valid point that it's not just about doing as much as one can - but doing it smartly. I also believe a big part of injury prevention is keeping weight gain low.

Iris - Thanks for your input. Let me put it this way: when I had my miscarriage I had gained 4 lbs by 6 weeks. About 5 days after the miscarriage, I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I simply can't explain that with anything other that an accumulation of extra water somewhere! Any thoughts?
- 17 February 2011 at 12:22
Sealegs, it might very well be additional water weight which doesn`t necessarily mean swelling bur might be evenly distributed (maybe in relation to the circumstances accompagnying the miscarriage?). As digestion slows down in many women it might have been just more volume in the digestive tract (I do not know, however, how much "that" might weight :-))

Woman, I am not competing with you! That's why I said I am just messing with you - comparing one person's pregnancy to another's is like apples and oranges. CHILL!! My point is that just bodies do what they're going to do - you exercise a lot more than I do and we've gained the same amount of weight. I could care less if I have gained 5 pounds or 15 at this point, just want a healthy baby in the end. I know that I can bounce back into shape post-partum and that's what matters to me!
I don't think these two would mind me linking their blogs because they are both supreme athletes AND gained plenty of weight in their pregancies because that's just what happened. Two I know personally - Alicia's a nationally ranked triathlete, all around crazy-talented athlete. Angela qualified for Kona post-partum and is also a super fast runner/triathlete. The third one I've linked has run VERY fast times pre and post-parturm
(gained 40 pounds)
(gained over 25 pounds)
(another great athlete who gained 58 lbs and 40 lbs with #1 and #2)
(Rachel Ross, world class triathlete, gained 50 pounds with her first baby)
(gained ~40 pounds with both kids)
I admit I get my feathers ruffled bit on the topic because I feel like it can be another time in life when a woman feels inadequate if her body just happens to need or want to gain more than 20 pounds.

OK, since I am neither pregnant nor plan to be anymore, I skipped your last few posts by just glancing over, but since I just came back from Bikram (hot) yoga where instructor is pregnant, it reminded me of you - and of your previous (?) post on sauna. I also saw plenty of students in a room at 105F and 55% humidity twisting and dripping sweat in my 10 years of practice. Bikram says it's very beneficial - I think so too (adding on Russian style saunas from times before time and women sitting there, including pregnant).
Anyhow, whatever. Frankly, I don't care about studies lately. Just do what feels right for you. I strongly believe unless you are a waco, you do no harm to a baby. And if you are a waco, people's blubber won't help.

The day after I made the song recommendation, I heard it in the background of a car commercial, making me do the Homer Simpson "D'Oh!" sound. My coolness badge got revoked.
Every pregnancy is different, even for the same parents. Shocke's pregnancy may have been perfect for her, but sounds risky for most women.

I love your posts about exercise and pregnancy. I think women, all women (for that matter, all people), should be encouraged to live lives that leave room for good food and enough exercise.
However, I think that pregnant women are coming up against factors that would discourage them from intensifying their exercise during pregnancy or even begin taking it up. While ACOG may officially state that an exercise regime is important to a pregnant woman's health, in practice a woman's OB/Gyn might advise against "too much" exercise. I don't know how often that happens, but I've heard it from my own friends with children, and I was surprised how much sway their doctor's had over their decisions to cut down on or even cut out exercise.
I absolutely hate this obsession with weight gain in pregnant women (not yours, I mean in general). As a person who has had some pretty bad relationships with scales in the past, I would be terrified to visit a doctor's office in America. Not owning a scale helps me to focus on eating right and exercising in a much healthier and less obsessive way. I'm not sure I could handle knowing how much weight I gain during pregnancy. Do you think that women need to be monitored on their weight gain? I know that pregnant women are almost never weighed during pre-natal visits in The Netherlands. As some of the comments have stated, weight gain varies from woman to woman, and a healthy woman could be on the low or high end.
The questions you've raised about exercise and weight gain in pregnancy do make me think that there is a larger factor at play here. It seems to me that there are a lot of external agents trying to control a woman's body during pregnancy. I realize that might be overstating a bit, and I am sure that there are many researchers and physicians who want to understand pregnancy and provide useful knowledge for the medical community and pregnant women. I just find the list of do's and don'ts for pregnant women to be terribly exhausting, and the language used feels dictatorial. I like the comment Heather made about taking back one's own body.
Okay, I've been rambling a lot now. Just wanted to say I liked the post.

I tend to feel more like WNLitigator. I exercise throughout pregnancy. I eat healthily, but do not obsess about it. And my body packs on the pounds to be sure. But this being my 3rd pregnancy, I also now feel confident knowing that my body is just doing what it thinks it needs to do, and the weight will come off after the baby is born. (While I get frustrated w/the pace of that at times, I do try to remind myself, 9 months on, 9 months off. That would probably drive you bonkers though.) Anyway, I just think it's funny b/c I consider myself fit and healthy, yet here I am in week 15 of pregnancy and I have not gotten on the scale at home and try not to look when they weigh me at the midwife's office, because I feel I'm just listening to my body and letting it do it's thing and trying not to worry about it. So your 16 lb. goal makes me chuckle not b/c it's right or wrong or high or low, just because I'm so much happier not even following along with my weight. I'm trying to get as much exercise as I can, and just stopping if something hurts. Anyway, to reitterate WNLitigator's point, don't assume all women gaining on the high end of the spectrum are unhealthy lazy slobs just because you sometimes feel overly criticized for gaining on the low end of the spectrum or exercising a lot.

Oh, SLG, I'm sorry. It really seemed a couple months ago like you were on a healthier course of admitting you don't have the healthiest attitudes about food. Now here you are, pregnancy seems to have retriggered your worst tendencies and you're back to attaching significance to the mere number of how much weight you'll gain during pregnancy, and holding up as ideals or examples women who gained extremely low amounts of weight.
How about this for a radical idea? Eat reasonable quantities of healthy food, exercise as much as it feels good for your body (without overdoing it), and enjoy being pregnant as much as possible?
It doesn't sound like you'd be capable of doing that. I'd be more concerned about that, than whether you gain 10 or 20 or 50 pounds.
I'm sorry. It makes me sad for you.

Ha! Green Light, you feel "sad" for me because I am suggesting that it is OK to not gain 25 lbs - and that 9 lbs also can be healthy! Go take your sadness and pity somewhere where it will do some good! I'm not saying I want to gain 9 lbs - but also not saying other women can't. Let's put it this way - don't cry too much over this :D.

Steve Q, alright, I'm not going to let you say that Stefanie's pregnancy would be "risky" for most women and not explain in what way it would be risky! What is it in particular you are thinking of?

Olga - your honesty is so refreshing. I am glad to hear that pregnanct women are doing Bikram Yoga without worries. I wish I could find a Bikram class here!

I would like to throw another apsect into the discussion. I absolutely do not find any links to the articles I am going to refer to right now, I will search for them later - maybe someone else can help? Concerning maternal weight gain and infant birth weight there seems to be as trong correlation between it with regard to gain of lean "mass" in the mother (blood volume and placenta, to be specific) with maternal fat gain not being related to birth weight. Of course, one would ask how to influence placental growth/increae in blood volume withot promoting fat gain? There are some guesses (not from the studies I mentioned)that keeping protein intake in the 75-100 g range and not restricting salt intake might help keeping fluid in the bloodstream, but this is, from my best knowledge, not based in scientific research. I will see if I find the articles..

Once they said that each pregnancy costs a tooth for the woman. I don't think anybody would want to sacrifice their teeth these days, and why sacrifice at all? You are so right, exercise is good and each and everyone should do what she is able to according to where she was before pregnancy. And if she was nowhere, this is the time to do at least some walking in order to prepare her lazy body for the birth!

I think most people reading SLGs blog are already on a page that tells us that a moderate amount of running (or other exercise, but most readers are runners) has benefits for both mother and baby.
Many people aren't on that page yet, including probably a lot of gun shy OB/GYNs. Considering what they deal with every day, their ethos has always been "don't rock the boat". There was one reader a while back who was told by several OBs not to run at all. But the OB community is coming around, I think.
There is no epidemiology out there - at all - looking at intense running/exercise in pregnancy. Yes, there are plenty of anecdotes, on this blog and elewhere, but no epidemiology.
SLG, as a budding expert of epidemiology, you are forced to admit that there is no research supporting (or refuting) your assertions.
With many beneficial things in medicine, the effect curce is shaped like a U. No exercise is harmful, sure. 99% of your readers agree with this, as carefully selected as we may be. Then the risk decreases as you add exercise, but it's not unreasonable to imagine that at some point you start adding risk (and start climbing up the far side of the U). You could even argue that OF COURSE it's a U-shaped curve. At some point running to much, even non-pregnant, becomes dangerous. The question is where that U starts climbing, and the truth is we don't know.
Right now, SLG, you're headed towards being an expert in the very narrow field of retinal epidemiology. I'm just imagining if you had gone into exercise/pregnancy epidemiology.
Would you rather be setting guidelines for screening in diabetic eye disease or for running in pregnancy?
- 18 February 2011 at 09:50
- The Chapples said...
And Fat Bastard, there never WILL be epidemiology on this topic, just anecdotes because of pure ethics. No one is ever going to back a study that might put a baby at risk. The best we can do is gather information from individuals who happened to run higher mileage during pregnancy and who kept their weight to a minimum BY CHOICE to see what the short- and longterm affects are on the child.
I tend to think of things like Green Light - why not moderate and just ENJOY being pregnant? Take it as a time to truly listen to your body rather than trying to control and manipulate the experience? Actually, why not do that anyway, even when not pregnant?
I am going to add my favorite quote from Ellyn Satter, an expert on children's feeding (but also works with adults). I think this same theory can be used with exercise:
"Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied. It is being able to choose food you like and eat it and truly get enough of it -not just stop eating because you think you should. Normal eating is being able to give some thought to your food selection so you get nutritious food, but not being so wary and restrictive that you miss out on enjoyable food. Normal eating is giving yourself permission to eat sometimes because you are happy, sad or bored, or just because it feels good. Normal eating is mostly three meals a day, or four or five, or it can be choosing to munch along the way. It is leaving some cookies on the plate because you know you can have some again tomorrow, or it is eating more now because they taste so wonderful. Normal eating is overeating at times, feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. And it can be undereating at times and wishing you had more. Normal eating is trusting your body to make up for your mistakes in eating. Normal eating takes up some of your time and attention, but keeps its place as only one important area of your life.
In short, normal eating is flexible. It varies in response to your hunger, your schedule, your proximity to food and your feelings."
I'm not picking on you, just worry about how hyperfocused you are on the issue.

The Chappels - let's just hold our horses for a second here. I don't think anyone here is encouraging starvation or an eating disorder. At least I'm not. I guess I could also try to only gain 9 lbs, but SR would never be able to put up with my crankiness. I just don't want anyone telling me it's healthier to gain 25.
I, by the way, somewhat disagree with your quote in the sense that I believe one should eat until one is 80% full, according to the Japanese/Okinowan way of thinking. I, of course, don't always follow this, but do believe in it.
- 18 February 2011 at 14:04
- Fast Bastard said...
The Chapples, epidemiology is made up of large population studies that are overwhelmingly observational in nature, ie. no intervention is made. You simply gather the data and wait to see what happens.
The data are out there, and some databases probably already contain numbers waiting for a researcher.
I guess you could say that epedimiology is made up of thousands of anecdotes. The problem with the anecdotes on this blog is that they are skewed towards fit, well-educated women. The selection bias is too significant. You could then argue that all observational studies are biased, and you would be right, but attempts are always made to control for these.
Interventional studies are rarely undertaken in studies of exercise and diet, simply because it's close to impossible to change people's behavior. One exception to this is a famous (and infamous) study looking at conscientious objectors during World War II. They calorie-resticted those poor kids to see what would happen to them. I believe it was done in Minnesota. The pictures of the emaciated non-warriors are impressive, and it's obvious that no one would have entered such a study voluntarily.
- 18 February 2011 at 14:07
- SteveQ said...
@FB: yes, that was Ancel Keys' study at the University of Minnesota. The volunteers were Mennonite, old order Amish and Brethren who would not fight for religious reasons and they each lost about 25% of their weight, eating mostly cabbage and root vegetables. In their place, I would probably have joined the study (and been tossed early, as many were, for mental derangement).

Hey, just saw this and thought you might be interested. "Women who are extremely obese may not need to gain that much weight during pregnancy, and those who don't add too many pounds may find themselves and their babies healthier.
The findings were presented recently at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's annual meeting in San Francisco. The study looked at data on 73,977 women from New York's Finger Lakes region who gave birth to one child between 2004 and 2008."
It says:
"The study suggests that even the recommended amounts of weight gain might be more than is needed for the most obese women," said Dr. Eva Pressman, director of Maternal Fetal Medicine at New York's University of Rochester Medical Center, in a news release.

I don't think I ever said you were encouraging EDs or starvation???? I was just wishing for your own peace of mind, Sealegsgirl, thta you could be a little more moderate with food and exercising. But that's me projecting onto you. You're obviously happy with things. I also think you're misunderstanding my tone - I like you, chica! I just worry (occupationa hazard, working with eating disorder patients day in and day out). Just trying to create some banter!
I'll bow out now. I could never stand up to two smart doctors. I'll take my lazy butt on out of here and go eat some jellybeans with my kiddo :P.

Pregnancy probably isn't the best time to start a new activity but i don't see why it isn't a good time to keep meeting goals in an activity you are used to.
My mom had me in the 80s and she was a swimmer. she swam every morning for her entire pregnancy like usual. at the time, with her doctors, swimming was considered good low-impact exercise for pregnant women at the time, and she was encouraged. She wasn't a runner, and i think taking it up while pregnant might have been a mistake, especially trail running, as balance and proper footing is something you need to be comfortable with when there's a baby on board. As someone who is notoriously clumsy, I know trail running is going to be an issue for me when i'm pregnant.
I will probably be ready for a pregnancy later in a year or two, and i'm a healthy weight now, but I would also be healthy if i was 10 pounds less. I don't know if I really need much weight gain at all during a pregnancy, but I think looking at it from the perspective of weight gain alone must be a mistake.
I've never seen the harm in exercise for health and wellness of the child, but if you are doing it for vanity reasons or starving yourself while pregnant to help with exercise goals or weight gain goals, i do think that's a problem. Health of yourself and baby should surpass everything else, and that involves being selfless and yeah, sacrificing.

I think many docs in the US want to see women gaining less than the 25 - 35 pounds now. I was normal weight and gained 22 pounds. When I checked into the hospital I overheard the nurses saying "her weight wasn't too crazy or completely out of control." Insinuating that I had gained too much weight. I was a little irritated. They really shouldn't recommend a certain weight gain if they want you to gain less. 5 months later I have lost all the weight plus a couple pounds with very little effort. I think for me my weight was probably fine.
- 22 February 2011 at 10:53
- Katie said...
Oh I thought I might add that I ran an average of 47 miles a week during my pregnancy and still gained 22 pounds. I was able to run to the end and ran 7 miles the day I went into labor. 5 months later I'm in fairly good shape. I just ran a half marathon on Sunday in 1:36:11. Not a PR, but I think it's the lack of sleep and being sick all winter that's impacting my training now. Not that I just had a baby.

Rapid Ride
Rapid Ride has changed the face of public transportation in Albuquerque. ABQ RIDE's fleet of 24 60-foot articulated buses are used on three Rapid Ride routes - the Red Line and Green Line (Central Avenue) and the Blue Line (West Side to UNM).
Rapid Ride Red Line and Green Line routes operate seven days per week, and the Blue Line route operates six days a week (Mon.-Sat.).
Learn more about Rapid Ride:
The Red Line - The First Central Ave. Rapid Ride Route
Rapid Ride service began in December 2004. By November 17, 2005 the one-millionth passenger boarded the Rapid Ride and by March 21, 2008 5 million people had taken the Rapid Ride. Today, the Red Line logs more than 155,000 passenger boardings each month, with ridership expected to exceed 1.87 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. This will be up almost 13% from the previous fiscal year. Learn more.
The Blue Line - West Side to UNM Service
In July 2007, the City of Albuquerque and ABQ RIDE announced Rapid Ride service between Albuquerque's West Side and the University of New Mexico. Learn more.
The Green Line - Downtown to Tramway Along Central Avenue
On August 15, 2009 the City of Albuquerque and ABQ RIDE announced a new Rapid Ride service called the Green Line. The new Green Line serves Central from Tramway to Downtown and has stops located at Central and Juan Tabo, Central and Eubank, as well as Central and Wyoming. The Green Line is also utilizing existing Red Line stops into the Downtown area. With the addition of the Green Line, citizens now have available Rapid Ride service from the east to the west side of Albuquerque. Learn more.
The Buses
Rapid Ride features 60-foot long, articulated buses that accommodate up to 86 passengers. The New Flyer buses are powered by cutting edge technology - a diesel electric hybrid engine that has an extremely low level of emissions while providing power and improved gas mileage. Rapid Ride buses are low-floor, allowing for speedy passenger and wheelchair access.
Rapid Ride buses feature a wheelchair ramp instead of a lift, which deploys extremely quickly. This system, when combined with fewer stops and quicker loading, translates to faster, more efficient, comfortable service.
The buses are loaded with new technology, including:
- An automatic announcement system to notify passengers when the next station is approaching
- A global positioning system to aid in the transit applications that help passengers locate their bus in real time
- The latest in security cameras and microphones for the safety of passengers and drivers
On the outside, all Rapid Ride buses have a paint scheme that is hard to miss!
For our bike-riding friends, the Rapid Ride buses feature a rack that holds 3 bikes, an improvement from the typical 2 bikes that most of our racks now hold.
The Stations
As part of the Rapid Ride system, all stops or "stations" include a Rapid Ride monument. Most station locations also feature a structure which allows passengers to wait in safety and comfort. The Pueblo-Deco inspired stations are spaced 1/2 mile to 1 mile apart at major intersections and activity centers. They have wind screens and neon accents in keeping with the historic Route 66 theme.
High Speed Wireless Internet Access
The Rapid Ride experience has something to offer business people and college students alike. Rapid Ride passengers get free wireless Internet access. There are "hot spots" on each bus providing Internet access to all passengers.
This new technology will allow passengers with laptop computers to surf the Internet, check email, send reports to work, or chat with friends. Now, many people will find their commute time to be productive time. Learn more.
