Back to the Gym...

...and really sore. Thankfully my recovery from labor and delivery was really great and I was able to get up and move around with ease just days after Grace was born. We went on walks right away and I generally felt pretty good. Well just over a week ago I had my 6 week postpartum check up and decided to wait until I got the go ahead from my midwife to start working out again to go back to the gym. I know I probably could have gone sooner but really why rush into that again. So, she said go for it and I started again on Tuesday. I really enjoy going to a strength training class but it is hard work. We just do reps and lifting for 1 hour straight. I was dreading and fearing the sit-ups but they haven't been so bad. I've also tried to use light weights so the next day I can still pick Grace up. It's been great though. Matt watches Grace while I'm at the gym and I feel great getting in a workout. I've been walking on the off days and that's nice too. So hopefully we can keep that routine up until the fall and then maybe I will be ok with leaving Grace in the childcare room at the gym. I'll keep you posted.
