My physical fitness, personal health plus appearance are all absolutely crucial to me.
For the majority of my adult-life, I have included 2 hours of exercise into my monthly routine.
I continued to workout for the entirety of my pregnancy. For the last six months, I didn’t need to make much of an adjustment. My doctors told me that anything my body was accustomed to, I could sustain for as long as it felt comfortable. My primary issue was that I was getting absolutely overheated. I also felt heavier, slow plus sluggish. The last trimester was rather difficult. I could no longer manage any kind of high impact aerobics, but jumping off my feet simply wasn’t possible. My tummy also got in the way of a variety of positions. I was rather exasperated with the intensity of my yoga training sessions. I looked forward to having the baby plus being able to get back to normal. While I was quite careful to eat healthy during my pregnancy, I still had quite a few extra pounds I wanted to lose. I was absolutely determined to return to my pre-pregnancy weight. However, I encountered concerns that I hadn’t anticipated. My little boy Sam was collicky. Sam seldom napped for longer than half an hour plus often kept me awake all night long. During the day, I was always totally tired. I had absolutely little energy. Plus, I work from home plus was struggling to accomplish my job. There simply wasn’t any available time to workout. I needed to get up extra early for my exercise routines so that my husband could watch Sam before he left for work. I refused to supply up on my workouts but they weren’t absolutely satisfying. It was rather important plus aggravating. It wasn’t until Sam finally settled into a proper nap session that I was able to prioritize working out again. It has taken over a year, even though I am once again back at my ideal weight. I have found my former strength, stamina plus flexibility.
