Somewhere Over the Rainbow

COME ON SPRING!

Yesterday was a beautiful day here - today was pretty nice too. The temperature was up to around 60 degrees and the sun was bright. It was a glimpse of spring, which I desperately need. As spring brings a renewal to nature outside, I’m hoping that it brings renewal inside of me as well. I'm hoping that the spring weather will re-motivate me to exercise. I had started exercising in December and had been doing really well until the last big snow we got here in Feb. Since then, I just haven’t been motivated. I’ve felt lazy. While I know it would be great to lose the last 5-7 lbs of baby weight, part of me just doesn’t care. I’d prefer to just be pregnant again. I did take a yoga class over the weekend and it was awesome. It was in a heated room (not as hot as in Bikram yoga) and it was 90 minutes long. Sweat was just dripping off me. I really felt like it was cleansing. I’m going to try to keep going to that class in that it will help me get more centered. So, will all of this being said - my hope is that I will be more relaxed this cycle. It’s so much easier said than done. Hopefully by being more relaxed it will increase my chances of getting pregnant. God knows that getting pregnant again will come with its own set of worries. I guess the first step is to just get there and then deal with it. Deep breaths. Shine bright my angel Marco. I love you!

  • I've lost all exercising motivation too!  I can't tell you when I last did something....other than wrestling with my nephew earlier today.  It doesn't make me feel great, but I just have nothing to make me want to get up and get moving.  Hopefully, like you said, the spring temps and beautiful days will help bring that motivation.

  • Deep breaths......

    Yoga is so amazing.  Not only with the sweat, but I fee like I purge so much when I do a class.  Ahhhh.....yes, yes - I vote more yoga.  

    Lots of baby dust to you too -- we have to believe - really that is all we have.

    Thanking of you-

    p.s. Oh, and to get you out running.  Let me know when you go again and how far - sometimes when you have to answer to someone it helps get me out the door......  :) Exercise is sooooooooooo what we all need to be doing right now -- so many good endorphins.

  • Oh Sweetheart, you just made my soul smile with this post.  Exercise will make you healthier ~ hence help your pregnancy!  Sweat, sweat, sweat!!  I'm sure Marco is looking down on you with a smile.  I imagine he wants you to think of him and be happy.  Spring with the Spring!  Uncle ~B~

  • Yoga and running are exactly what I threw myself into after I lost my daughter in December of 2007.  It was fantastic therapy!  Although it took me quite a long time to conceive, I know I helped myself physically and emotionally while we were trying.

    I wish you luck...exercising and trying to conceive!

    Take care,

    Megan.

  • Exercise is good for the soul, mind, and body.  I am so happy that it seems to help!  Keep it up.  I agree with Zsuzi....it helps to have to answer to someone.  SWEAT SWEAT SWEAT!!!  :)

  • So....how is the running going?  Thanks for writing on my blog.  I got a big smile when I saw that you did.  Where do you live?  Los Angeles by any chance?  I know you don't with talk of snow -- but it would just be nice to find a SHARE friend down the street.  The support I have found on this site has helped me sooooooooooo much.  Take care and get out there.
