I walk nearly everyday very fast on my treadmill and trying to lose my last 3kg from having Brooke. Don't worry about 2ww, just dno't over-do the exercise in 2ww.
I'm sticking to 1400-1800 calories a day and walking 20-30 mins. Once that egg implants it TAKES alot for anything to budge it, I've been told, the padding inside to look after bub is quite amazing.
Eating good and exercising only enhances your fertility. goodluck again hon.
As long as you don't do anything extreme exercise wise you will be fine.
This could be a bit too much info than you were looking for but I noticed you mentioned tim tams & coffee in your thread, in my opinion both of these should be avoided when ttc.
Many store bought biscuits and cakes have trans fats in them and it is now thought that eating just one serving of food with it in them can cause infertility in some women. Google trans fat and infertility and you will find all sorts of articles to support the theory. I cut them out of my diet recently and fell pg within weeks of doing so (not sure if this was a coincidence or not), unfortunately it was not a sticky baby.
Coffee, cola & tea all have caffeine in them & the recommended intake of these whilst ttc or when pg is something like 1 cup of coffee per day, up to 5 cups of tea a day and cut out cola all together. Apparently there's something in the caffeine that can cause miscarriages. If you really like these drinks it's very hard to stop drinking them... I've cut back but I'm now trying to elimate them altogether after my m/c.
Well, I got quite inspired on sunday and I went out and I started sprint, fast walk cycles for 30 minutes with 15 minutes of fast walk each side. Boy am I sore! I also started doing bands, push-ups and sit-ups at home, I plan to do it every other day.
I'll just try not to get too overheated
which was one of the concerns I have read about, somewhere, in the ttw and maybe skip the sit-ups in ttw too.
I read about the sprinting method recently, it is supposed to really shift fat quickly, I normally just jog lightly for 45 minutes and I never get sore (even after a bit of a break) but the sprinting really hurt every muscle in my body. It feels pretty good, though I am walking a little funny. I'm sure it will settle down after a few sessions.
I might try pilates soon too.
No more tim tams, (see the thread about coffee trans fats etc.) I don't want to touch that stuff again.
Funny thing is that I never really liked tim tams until recently, I think it's a comfort thing while ttc.
Fortunately my BMI is only 27.5, so birthing centre should be ok. I did read somewhere, (I may well have been reading more about ttc than is normal?) about that birthing centre BMI cut off, I think that it is really unfair, surely theres a way to cater for mums to be who are outside cookie cutter stats and dont want to go to hospital for birth?? I'm sure it's a safety and facility issue but still!
