30 Day Shred FAIL!

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Oh my goodness, I just started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Before getting pregnant, I was really fit. I was a gym rat who loved exercise. During pregnancy I took it easy but still exercised (mostly cardio). The last month of my pregnancy I didn't really exercise. If anything, I would get in the pool and do a few laps. I was really swollen and had a rough time of it.

I haven't been good about exercising pp. I just let myself slide. I think I was worried about exercising after a c-section. I went to the gym a few times and walked a bit but not a whole lot. I finally decided to get back on the bandwagon.

I just did the 30 Day Shred (level 1) and I had to stop before even halfway through it. And, for the first time in my life, I threw up after exercising. Ugh, how pathetic is that?

I am actually quite embarrassed that my body is in such bad shape. I am about 15 lbs overweight and kept saying "it's not that bad." I can do 15 lbs. I even took the exercise kind of easy because I knew I had to ease into it. And I still threw up. :(

I guess this is the kick in the pants I need to take care of my body better. Sleep

    haha, yeah, it's intense, huh? the 1st day i did it, my entire body hurt and i could barely move. it gets better. i've been on level 3 for awhile now, but don't do it every dau unfortunately. it's definitely paid off though! keep it up :)

    ETA: i also worked out up until the day before i gave birth. that didn't seem to help lol.

    I can relate. I use to work out all the time even up to the last months of pregnancy. I told myself after 6 weeks, I would be at the gym. Of course, that never happened. As you know, complete exhaustion takes over and you just never find time. I actually feel like I gained lbs after birth due to eating poorly - quick, fatty foods. Keep looking at my stomach wondering if it will ever be the same.

    Ugh, I totally know. I had a c/s so my pooch is totally there. I never carried weight in my stomach. I was more of a butt and thigh girl. Now I have this ring of fat around my midsection. I can only blame the c/s so much.

    Good luck! I have been putting it off and putting it off. I think I finally got the wake up call to just start taking care of myself better. You'd think having a LO would be motivation enough!
