She’s one of those “normal” fitness bloggers that I love. I’ve been following Lindsey/Nourish Move Love for a few months after we met at her Her Initiative event back in the spring. That’s why my runs are more like fast walks and half of my strength workouts are done with no weight! Everyone is different – some women start working out a few days after giving birth and some women wait a few months! The most important thing my dr said is to listen to your body and do NOT push anything. **Side note: I worked with my doctor on when I should get back to working out. These helped me to get back into the routine of working out but I still felt pretty weak. I would “run” a couple times a week and do a postnatal strength workout I found online. (And by running I mean walk/jogging for a mile.) That helped me feel more like “me” again. My friend and I signed up for a 5k so I started running again a few weeks after having Roy. I worked out throughout my pregnancy but nothing like I was used to. While the majority of the weight came off within a couple weeks, I was left with an extra 5 pounds and a pretty weak body. I put on about 20 pounds throughout my pregnancy.
I’ve been doing sports through college and running half and full marathons as an adult so when I put on a few extra pounds (which pretty much happens every winter…I fondly refer to it as my winter layer) I know how to shed the pounds and tone up pretty quickly.Īfter having Roy I noticed that the weight didn’t fall off like so many people say it does. To be 100% honest, I’ve never really had any troubles with keeping weight off or getting toned. Nourish Move Love 30 Day Move Challenge.
