Getting Back in Shape

Filed Under Future, Input Needed, Pregnancy, Second Pregnancy, Weight | 3 Comments

One thing that I really struggle with is my body since becoming pregnant with Bailey, and now with this current pregnancy. The problem is that I never lost the weight I gained with her. I was on pro.zac for a while and I breastfed for a full year. Everyone kept saying that once I quit nursing the weight would come off, but it never did. I had a weight watchers membership for a year (online) after that and I lost a few pounds. In fact I just remembered to cancel that membership the other day after Jonathon griped at me for paying for something every month that I don’t use. Once I have this next baby and get back into a normal/new routine I would love to seriously do something about my weight. I want to be look better for myself but I also want to be healthy and have more energy for my children and spouse.

My plan is to either get some type of exercise equipment like a treadmill, or to join a gym. There are a few nearby that I have heard mixed things on but if anyone has any specific recommendations I would love to hear them. One thing is that I LOVE to swim and would prefer a gym where I can swim laps if I go the gym route. Also price is a big consideration. Thanks for any input.

    Well, I can’t help you with the gyms (being in D.C. and all) but I can TOTALLY relate to the weight issue… big time (no pun intended)! I need to lose weight before I get pregnant again… and ideally I would love to get pregnant this summer… so… I am with you!

    Swimming is an excellent workout!! Very low (as in no) impact and you’ll get super toned!

    What I have also liked previously is kickboxing classes or Butt ‘N Gut classes. With one gym that I was in they had a lot of great classes and I liked that a lot because going to lift weights annoys me when so many gross, sweaty men are taking over the place!
