Baby steps
Well, I am happy to say that, though it doesn’t sound like much, I am on my way to getting proper exercise. My energy is definitely picking up a bit (though you’d never know it by my falling asleep at 8pm on the couch!) and, along with a 3.5 mile hike around Blean woods last weekend, I walked 15 minutes at lunch on the 3 days this week that I was in the office and not on my feet in the rockpools.
Laugh all you want, but those 15 minutes plus the stairs to get me back up to the office, that was pretty much good.
Looking through some recent photos, I am reminded that I wasn’t a total slacker in my first trimester. We hiked a different circuit around Blean woods in August, and a bit down in the New Forest at the beginning of September. And embryo had nice in utero rock out sessions to two of my favorites, Peter Gabriel and U2, this summer, which just goes to show I can stay awake when it really matters.

Nora, you look fantastic! Glad to hear that your energy is picking up. But don’t worry too much about exercise. I was much more content getting just a little here and there once I realized how important it was to listen to my body. And when my body said “eat ice cream”, I sure did!
