I've been working on working out again, but, in all honesty, I haven't been particularly consistent. I have managed about 1 'official' workout a week and a couple walks here and there and yoga around the house when I can.
Most of my physical activity comes from work (where I often move chairs, boxes of music, and percussion) and this guy:
I got an awesome workout at tough mudder pushing the stroller up hills and have been managing to squeeze in a HIIT workout once a week. Today I'll go for a walk and try to do a HIIT or yoga workout if the wee one cooperates!
Here comes the honesty part:
working out is hard now - physically, it feels great, but things are different with my body. Things like - my boobs are bigger than they have ever been in my life - I was always pretty flat chested (34A in High School and College and 34B in Grad School and until I got pregnant) and now I'm rocking 36Ds. May I say that I now understand you larger busted ladie's complaints? I always thought "why would you complain about being busty?" Now I understand. Those suckers BOUNCE. and when they bounce, they hurt. Makes working out so much harder, especially since my sports bras were perfect for before, when I was small. Does anyone have any suggestions for really good, no-bounce, sports bras?
The second part, and this really is TMI so please feel free to tune out here...
The peeing, dear God, the peeing!
Even with doing a bunch of kegles, giving birth to a baby and having a catheter for a week has RUINED my bladder control while jump roping. I don't even know that its happening until its over and too late!
I miss Jump roping
here's hoping that I can get that control back again!
In much less disgusting news, I did a couple slow sprints around and about (in order to get somewhere fast) and it felt good to hit my stride! I don' think I'll be doing any long runs any time soon, but I hold out hope that someday I might again!
