CPW: Exercise

[evenkeeled]

I need to do more. We both do. Ugh.

[geners]

I voted semi-regularly. Prior to last week, I was just going for walks whenever I could but it was sporadic (and weather-permitting). Last week, I started a training program for a half marathon I'm running in November. I won't be able to train the way I used to for races, but my hope is to get on the treadmill after C goes to bed at least 1-2x during the week and run outside once a weekend in the morning.

I've been back to my regular workouts for a long time now. Did two triathlons and I have a marathon in October, so I'm doing a lot right now. It's not helping me drop anymore weight thpugh, so that's really sucky.

I've got a half marathon in 8 weeks (October 16th?). I struggle with the shorter runs during the week, but I think it'll be easier now that afternoons are getting a little cooler, it's hard to squeeze them in before work with BFing.

cnf2013, we were talking weight-loss/calorie intake a while ago, did you up your intake at all?

Just before I got pregnant I was exercising every day and eating super healthy. I lost almost 30 lbs during that time. It made me sick in the first tri so I stopped and never did again. I've been terrified about affecting my supply since we are so close to the 1 year mark. (Sidenote: how in the actual fuck is my baby going to be a year in two months??) I would like to get back to using the elliptical at least 4x/week once we get to a year. I would like to lose about 20 lbs if we don't get pregnant right away.

Not so much

[kida]

I'm still around 40lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. I absolutely am not happy about that. Especially being 8 months out. I started regular exercising/dieting and upped my water intake about a month ago. It lasted a good consistent 2 weeks. :/ I still walk a few times a week at the park but I want to really get into it again.

I've been going for walks and swimming this summer but not back to my exercise program and don't currently see where to fit it into my schedule.

[physiomeg]

I really need to start. I try to walk when I can, but it's not as much as it could be. I want to start making it part of my routine when she's going to bed that I take a walk or use our elliptical. I know my body responds most to diet changes in terms of weight loss; but overall I want to be healthier, so I know exercise needs to become a mandatory part of my schedule.

Yes and no. I have on days when I don't workout or when my calorie burn is lower. High burn days, like Monday where I burned 1500 calories, I'm struggling to eat enough without going unhealthy. I think I only netted like 600 calories on Monday. But most days I net around 1300-1800

[COCO]

I selected no but plan to start. Truth is, I've been planning to start exercising for the last 4 years and nothing happens. But sept 1 will different this year... Maybe?

Since being in the US I have dropped my normal routine but when I'm home I lift weights 3 times per week, do boot camp 1 time, and play tennis 1-3 times. I really don't do much cardio anymore.

[spidermonkeymama]

I try but it's so hard to find a time when the kids leave me alone.

[beaglemom2011]

I would love to get in a workout, but it's so hard with two kids and a husband that travels a lot for work. My workouts consist of baby lifting, toddler sprints and picking up toy squats. 😊
I'm trying to rely on diet choices for weight loss. I'm still 16 lbs off my pre-baby weight. I'm trying to figure out if I have a hormone imbalance or something like that going on too.
