Working out

I was sooooo looking forward to getting back to the gym, after all I haven't been since finding out we were pregnant back in November. I just didn't want to chance jiggling anything loose for lack of a better way to explain it. When I talked to the nurse practioner on Tuesday she said 'run, lift weights, bike, do whatever, just don't get your heart rate above 140 and don't get it up longer than 30 minutes.' So I went to the gym on Tuesday afternoon and hopped on the treadmill, did my walking warmup and set the pace to an easy 5.5....for 3 minutes!!!! My heart rate was up to 152 in no time and I couldn't even carry on a conversation.





SO disappointed.





Yesterday was a little better. I started off with just simple lunges and squats. I felt a little wobbly but I'm chalking that up to not doing them for three months. So I think I can return to the gym but goodbye running until November at the earliest (August + two months of recovery).





I am thankful that I didn't have any pains during or after to worry me. Maybe this way I can avoid the 50 pounds I gained with Ace.
