Well I am on the home stretch. I am still getting my workouts in, not that its helping the weight gain... definitely not helping the weight gain. I am still strong and know that it'll help with the getting back into shape part.
I was working out this morning with a bunch of awesome fattening ladies. We are all pregnant within a few months of each other. Our workouts have disintegrated from hardcore high intensity workouts to hardcore chat about who's peeing their pants, who's spraying perfume where (don't ask), and to why for some strange reason I am so massively huge compared to my sister who is further along than me.
I am now suffering from all the really sexy pregnancy symptoms... Do I dare name a few?? I'm having a spider vein family reunion down my left leg, swelling in unmentionable areas, I feel the urge to pee my pants ALL the time. I can't breath. My stomach is straight out of Alien.. It's going to pop its head out of my belly and start screaming at you!!! I have some facial rash that is a first for me this third time around. The worst I must say though is the BRAXTON HICKS contractions. They are all the bloody time and drive me insane!!! Stop pretending body and follow through for crying out loud....
The bonus to all of this though is that pushups are easier.... I don't have very far down to go with the belly in the way. I don't need hand weights for lunges because it's now built in. Walking is the same cardio intensity as running once was and there is no plateauing... it's a steady downhill fall out of fitness..... AND IT'S ACTUALLY OK!!!
A few more weeks and the story will be different... I can only imagine how crazy ridiculous us ladies will all be on the race back to being fit.
