lack of exercise *sigh*

in Pregnant after IF

Well I went out and splurged on some hot new postpartum workout clothes! Because of OHSS in 1st Tri, bleeding in 2nd Tri, and SPD in 3rd Tri I haven't exercised (besides walking) in 10 months!!!! Ah! I can't believe it. I wasn't a marathon runner or anything, but I was running 4-5 miles 4-5x a week before my rounds of IVF. I miss it.

Obviously it was worth it for my little bundle, but I am really looking forward to getting out for a run after baby comes. I plan on walking/jogging until I hit 6 weeks, then I'll be a little more adventurous. It seems so far away, but now that I have these clothes I am really looking forward to it! I love the high I get after a good workout. 

How are you all doing in the workout department?

    Ick I am NOT doing well in the workout department. I got cleared for exercise 4 weeks ago, but between the nausea and exhaustion it just hasn't happened. 

    I just ordered 2 pregnancy workout dvds - 1 is a prenatal yoga one, so I definitely wa

    I totally feel you.  I did a few 5/6 mile runs a week and did CrossFit before IVF.  Then nothing but walking for months, then only being allowed to do light workouts, and even now, only being able to do really easy stuff.  I think becaus

    Ditto. I've done horribly. I started out doing my pregnancy DVD workout in first tri and part of second tri but then quit for no good reason. At this point I'm too uncomfortable. I wish it was warmer outside so I could walk outside more!

    35 weeks with twins and still exercising 3-4 times a week. I've definitely slowed down a little bit in that I'm no longer running/jogging, just walking, but I try to keep up the pace a bit. I also have this prenatal dance class that I love... It's not
