I'd say that's a great cardio if you can keep it up for an hour!

Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

I need not be interrupted i guess! Perhaps i can change it up every few days doing some type of fitness video or walking somewhere and back.. Im trying to convince my hubby we need a treadmill - we've had two exercise bikes before which became clothes horses.. so he thinks it will take up space and become a redundant piece of equipment once BFP :) (i think he is rite but im still going to try and convince him till i get my way! :giggle:

[Mulberry Smurf]

Woah an hour on a trampoline is awesome! That takes some stamina! I reckon as long as it's getting your heart rate up that's good cardio? It's raining again here today so will be doing more stair stepping instead of going for a walk. It's absolutely pouring down and tbe boys are just getting over colds so don't want to drag them out needlessly. Wish we could get out though am going stir crazy (I don't drive). I mostly know boy mums who are all shapes and sizes from a uk six to overweight. The all girl mum's I know are average sized ladies but their husbands are quite sporty?? Xx

[Beautifulrainbow]

Im a bit controlling, dont know why im a boy mom they must hate it!! pls tell me how you are getting your relaxed vibe going? I would love to be that...:think: :cool:
Not completely sure but this whole cycle I have been very chilled out.
Almost finished decorating my house, which was a huge stress,spring is here and
Probably resisting the urge to shout at my boys and in moderation turning a blind eye to a lot of stuff they are doing.

I do get comments but usually I agree with them lol, unless I'm pregnant or have a young baby then I seem to take offence!

Yes - sounds like fun rite? Lol.. Its getting warmer here so i think i could manage it. As long as the neighbours dont think im crazy, jumping alone.. My boys dont stay in one place for an hour so i cant do it with them.. :)
Maybe ill jump for 30 mins and then skip.. :running:

Yeh or twenty mins jump twenty skip twenty jump again? Whatever works :) xx

Yes definitely! I was doing 15 mins trampoline 15mins bike 15 trampoline 15 bike (before I twisted my ankle by landing unsteadily on one foot!)

It always felt a really good cardio workout!!

Starting it back up again today now my ankle has healed (maybe a bit more carefully haha!!)

Xx 2nd comment was from a parent down the school, who also has 3 boys and also mentioned she would love a girl, but isn't going to have another one. so I tried telling her about swaying really don't think she understood, she thought it was all to do with swaying your hips lol. Really would love to have a girl and go down my boys school and rub it in that swaying worked ha ha.

Argh I just tipped my coffee over my iPad and phone, lucky I was quick enough with a towel

I did my hour this afternoon, 11.5km run - first one since my half marathon on Sunday! Hard going for the first few k then settled into it and enjoyed it again!! Shame diet was far from perfect although not horrendous, but so many excuses at the mo with weekends away, family visiting and vice versa?!x

[Mulberry Smurf]

oops! glad no damage was done!
Lol at swaying the hips, if only it was all in a movement of the hips eh?!
have fun giving your neighbours something to talk about lol xx

[Mulberry Smurf]

That's awesome 3s'acharm! I really don't have the stamina you do (yet!) am determined to get there though! well done xx

[3'sacharm]

I think once you get into it, you really start to enjoy it and therefore find it easier - for me, it's all in the mind! Like I would struggle to do the same circuit twice in one run even if the distance is less?! Would be nice to have an exercise bike that I could sit on in the evenings in front of tv though for the evenings I can't/don't want to run!!

No exercise as yet today, will probably run again later unless I manage to get to the gym instead...

Keep up the good work ladies x

[Beautifulrainbow]

hi all how is everyone doing, I took another day off yesterday, but to be honest I was completely exhusted I crashed before 9pm last night. I was up the hospital with my brothers girlfriend the night before, but after waiting over 2 hours she refused to wait another 2+ hours so yesterday morning I was running around taking her and an old lady to two different doctor practices, then dropping the girlfriend home before taking the old lady shopping.
25 mins left of my work out this am then I'm off for my hospital appointment. Yay fun, not!

[chocolate]

Poor you, sounds like an exhausting day! I've just started my hour on the bike, feeling the tiredness lately!

[3'sacharm]

failed dismally on the exercise front yesterday as was going to head to the gym last night, but having been away for the last few days hubby was feeling neglected so I stayed in to watch the walking dead final with him. By then I was too knackered and headed straight to bed. As a result today though, I'm feeling really quite down and like I'm lacking purpose?! The boys are still off school so we've had a busy morning sorting bits out but I'm feeling really on edge and down. I frequently suffer like this if I've not exercised so I think it's just that but it sucks as I'm struggling to do anything else now as a result ��

[Beautifulrainbow]

I can't exercise unless I do it 1st thing. I end up making myself busy and then use it as an Excuse not to exercise

[Beautifulrainbow]

Wish ironing counted as I as a few hours of that ahead of me!

[Frilly Lady]

So do I beautifulrainbow.
1 hr on TM done thankfully. I seem to have hit a brick wall this week with both diet and exercise.

[XXforhubby]

I too have to exercise first thing or close to it. I just completed a 70min walk wearing DS3 in a front carrier while pushing DS2 in a stroller. It was windy and of course I was against the wind the whole time. I'm feeling it now!

I too feel restless and agitated if I haven't exercised in a bit, 3'sacharm. I can totally relate. I hope you can find some time today.

Well done to the rest of you though x

[davesig4]

Hi ladies

I have been following you all on here for a couple of weeks, I have enjoyed reading some of your funny posts, they have made me chuckle!

I must say I am finding it hard! Pink sway is a big lifestyle change for me, diet wise, I love exercising but with two young boys, 5 and 18 months, it's hard finding the time and energy to fit it in; I'm sure lots of you can relate! I'm hoping clocking in on here might make me feel accountable and make sure I do it no matter what! Although I build up muscle so easily I'm not sure whether I should just be going couch potato?! Who knows!

I only managed a 40 minute run outside today, ran out of time. Any outside runners find the running is actually getting harder?! I thought it would be getting easier by now but with every run my body is seeming to find it harder, how does that work?!

[3'sacharm]

Hi davesig4 and welcome!!! I regularly run and some days are harder than others; that being said, there are variables to that such as going faster without realising/pushing harder, or just generally being more fatigued at times. I find it best to have a couple of loops to choose from so you can't just "nip" back home, you have to complete the loop to get home. I aim for 10-15km each time to make sure I get my hour in, which by the time you've stopped for traffic/crossed the roads etc and cooled down after it adds up to an hour easily.

The diet is the hardest part for me too, I can do coffee, fibre, skipping breakfast/long fast overnight and not snacking (surprisingly!!!) but not having the sweet treats is a killer - i love food generally especially cakes and biscuits but obviously chocolate too!! I just hope that all this isn't in vain and that my dh agrees to ttc eventually �� X

[Beautifulrainbow]

Wtg go ladies. I have not done my cardio yet today. Just got back home after taking my hubby to work and taking the children to mac ds for breakfast while I sat and watched with my cup of coffee(crying lol)
I'm probably going to go and jump on the trampoline with my youngest son for an hour soon. Not yet though it's still too early to be outside.

Hello davesig4... welcome to the madhouse! No offence ladies!!

How long have you been going with the diet/exercise? I'm not exercising outdoors, but I'm definitely finding it harder the longer I go on. I wonder if it is the general fatigue of the LE diet? I've been swaying since first week of January and exercising 5-6 times per week. I'm struggling a bit at the moment. Had a tough week, kids off school, so lots of days out and go-to foods. Plus, my whole body just aches with all the exercise and I feel so fatigued. So far I have lost more than 20lbs but am struggling with general well-being, conjunctivitis, weak nails and hair and lethargy etc. I'm trying to be pleased that this means its all having an impact but its haaaaaarrrrrrrrd going!

Do keep on visiting here hun. The ladies are so down to earth and lovely-we're all going through it together. My absolute best thing for motivation when I've had enough on the TM is to imagine all the lovely ladies here doing exactly the same thing!! That keeps me going!

Hi davesig4! It does help to have somewhere to chat about the exercise and hear others going through the same struggles.

Glittermouse loosing 20 pounds is amazing! Does sound like your body is finding things hard, great for pink but not for you,Big hugs!!

3sacharm it's hard when you are confined to house exercise isn't it!

I only managed 20 mins on the bike today, had to be that or nothing so I did it at a higher speed and intensity,trying to make up a little for my iced buns at lunch time as I don't want to sacrifice my evening wine ;-)

How much fat and percentage is everyone averaging a day? I realised from tracking that although I eat low calories a day, it tends to be higher in fat percentage which might explain why I tend to not gain nor loose on my normal eating diet and have a little extra padding round the middle rather than evenly spread.
I think today my fat % was about 34 % which is only slightly over, but I suspect usually it's more like 45 to 50%.

Not sure chocolate; I know when I set up MFP it came up with percentages but now I check with the grams to keep under 60 for both fat and protein as doing (kind of) pcos style le.x

[chocolate]

I think on mfp if you look nutrition,you then get 3 options, calories,nutrition and micronutrients or something which show your percentages. Only noticed it the other week,quite handy to see :-)

Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Just checked and for today mine is 24% fat 8% protein x

24 is great :-) Think I'm going to replace my hot cross buns with crumpets as they are quite low for fat and salt. Have been playing on mfp ;-)

Hi Glittermouse

Well done for your 20lbs, that's amazing! I wish I could be so successful!

I started by cutting out meat at the beginning of Jan. Went full on LE at the beginning of Feb, no meat, no breakfast/snacking, drinking diet coke which I have never done before, cutting out more nutritious foods. And I lost about 7lbs in those 2 months, my calorie intake was quite low and I lost quite a lot of muscle in these 2 months, probably also because I'm hardly eating any protein. In March I think my diet was slightly more relaxed and my weight has gone up and down by a couple of pounds which is really annoying, but because I know I'm not allowed to eat at certain times I keep thinking about food! I think this is why I have been slacking a bit! But I have been doing more exercise, which I know has increased my muscle in my legs. Which is going to increase my testosterone I suppose! Argh, so frustrating! We were going to have our first attempt this month but I can't help thinking that I haven't done enough lately, maybe even cancelled out any good I did in the first 2 months, so now I don't know what to do.

I did manage to get out of the house at 6.20 this morning for a run though which was quite nice, I was quite pleased with myself! Did 50 minutes, 8.5k. 3'sacharm, I don't know how you manage 15k in an hour! You must be superwoman!

[Beautifulrainbow]

Oh sorry davesig4 I was meant to say hi and welcome earlier.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

[3'sacharm]

Oh no davesig4 - if it's nearer the 15k mark then it's well over an hour, about 1hr 20! If it's only 10km though then it's about 50mins so I usually try to extend it, but doing the loops it's tricky to extend without going for quite a bit longer!! Well done for getting out so early to run though, I hate running early morning When it's dark. Today should be interesting as a busy one for my eldest's birthday, will see how I go with *an hours* bouncing at the trampoline place and if it doesn't reach it, then I'll head out tonight once all in bed for a run I think...x

My crumpets didn't taste nice :-( Wonder if my tastebuds have changed because we had a Chinese the other week and even that tasted odd and not nice, maybe it's a good thing! I had a caramel frape from McDonald's today and didn't know the nutrition info and once I looked that up I knew I couldn't skip the exercise ;-) I've just done an hour at the gym and feel better for it, I also did about 3 hours of cleaning today.

OMG, just finished 60 min. dancing/aerobic-cardio on the floor in my living room while the kids where playing outside. I followed the usual You Tube-videos 'Pump it up' from 2004 (very 80ish) and the popular Bipasha Basu 'Break free full routine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj9d6aBOzDo

I was soooo bored and counted the minutes till my alarm clock rang. What keept me going was thinking about the hot shower and the nice lunch that I deserved afterwards. I am definately better and more energetic when doing my cardio first thing in the morning. When I do it around lunch time, I get so exhausted and bonking.

Well now it's done. Tomorrow I will take a fast one hour-walk in the forest with our dog. I would die, if I had to do the same type of cardio every day. If any of you busy ladies have a good 'do it at home' aerobic-dance-video, please share the name. I need some variation from the two I always do.

Dream sister - ministry of sound pump it up is really good; haven't done it in years as mislaid it somewhere when we moved two years ago but the music is great, dance music typical of the year and the dance routines are great for getting your heart rate up without boredom.

I know there is no reason for this but I just can't get into really hard cardio during 2ww!! Feel paranoid I will dislodge a fertilised egg!!!

Today is my day off from exercise. I'm getting my DS3 baptized today. We also looked at a house for the second time, and we are going to put an offer down! It's 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, full basement, a finished attic (could easily have a playroom AND a 6th bedroom up there!) and a two car garage for 159,000!!! It's a steal!! So excited that we will have room for #4...or #5 if it's twins [emoji4]!!

Me too chocolate about living in the UK. I had the chance to move over there a few years ago but turned it down due to you have to pay for schooling and have to get insurance for medical it was all so confusing. Had a chance because My dad was living over there. Now he has moved back to the UK as it was really hard to live out there!

[3'sacharm]

Didn't run in the end tonight due to the bloody persistent rain! Gah! I don't mind a little bit but it's been heavy and constant so just went to the gym and did an hour on the bike.

I think the same as you ladies re America and value for money with property! Amazing how far your money can go, but lots of negatives of living out there too, would rather go to Oz!

I just want to be pregnant so I don't have to worry anymore about all of this, eating/exercising; the exercising bit isn't so bad, it's just making sure I'm doing the full hour for at least 6 days a week which can be tough sometimes with 12 1/2 hour shifts plus commuting time. But the plus side of a working day is that I tend to eat better as less temptation/easier to decline.x

[jennypenny]

Would be great if lots of us ended up being in the same due date group!!

I'm so over dieting and exercising now! Just want to get pregnant!!! Was in toys r us today and walked through the babies r us section, got sooooo excited at the thought of a new little baby to cuddle!!! Boy or girl!!!! Even looking at the little newborn maxi cosi car chairs got me all giddy, even though I know that after a few months they get so heavy to lug them around in lol!!!

I can't imagine working 12 hours and then exercising and whilst dieting :-(

I've been worrying a bit actually about gaining weight in pregnancy, finally feel good about my body and can wear clothes and feel good, don't mind a changing shape and dress size in pregnancy but will have to loose it all. Also worrying about once pregnant how many calories to increase too!

[XXforhubby]

Thanks ladies! The baptism was wonderful and so was the party afterward. My DS3 is quite the people person and was laughing and cooing the whole time [emoji4].

We are going to put an offer down on the house tomorrow and hope everything goes through. There are a few things that will need updating in time, when I go back to work once the littles are all in school. There is nothing pressing that we need to do right away though, which is nice.

We live in Illinois in the US. I've always been a naturally skinny boy mom- I'm very athletic and active with my boys. It's mostly that I eat like a hobbit and exercise/stay active to be able to eat what I want when I want. The only thing that makes this diet doable for me while nursing, is the cardio. I love to run but can't right now until my DS3 gets bigger and can sit up in the jogging stroller. The fast walking while wearing my DS3 gives me something to focus on instead of what I'd like to be eating but can't [emoji38]!

This is my absolute last chance to give my DH a DD so I'm doing all I can and the best I can for him.

Good job ladies!!

I found that I didn't gain much weight with DS3, only 20lbs, despite swaying pink (he was my sweet sway opposite). I think the LE diet for 13mo changed me forever, lol! I still don't eat much and find the diet to be rather easy.

I'm looking forward to not having to worry about protein or fat levels- just to eat what I want. The no snacking thing is second nature now, and I can't imagine going back to that anymore! Sometimes I do have a cheat snack, but it's not near what I used to eat! I find I need this when I've done way too much exercise since I'm nursing or I've gone too strict with calories/fat/protein. I think it all balances out in the long run. I still don't eat how I used to before my failed sway, even when I was pregnant.

[chocolate]

That's reassuring to hear, 20 pounds is amazing! I usually gain about 2.5 stone and end up with about a stone to loose by exercise and diet but find that hard with a baby. I agree though, the diet does make you re-evaluate what you eat. I'll Def. Be eating more fruit and lower fat foods and appreciate the odd burger ;-) I'm taking metformin at the moment and I think it makes my sugar levels so much lower than I feel rubbish and need a quick sugar fix so I'll look forward to not taking them anymore

[Dreamsister]

Yes exactly 3Sacharm, this is the video I mentioned. It really makes me sweat. I haven't done the hole video yet. Only do 30 minutes or so from the beginning and supplements with the Bipasha Basu workout-video.

[Dreamsister]

Wauhh, XXfb, that sounds great with a new, big house. The price is really cheap. Here in Denmark, where I am, the houseprices are much much higher (300,000 for a house in the suburb). Are you moving to a hole new area? I hope you get the house. Having plenty of space is so nice and makes everyone more comfortable, because the noise is lower and everyone can have some space of their own. We once lived at only 85 m3 but now have 270. We still have to renovate the basement though if we get #4. I hope you get the house. It is so exited to move into something new and decorate.

[Dreamsister]

I am the same as you XX. Naturally very skinny (looking almost anoxectic) but have always been eaten like a hobbit and snacking constantly. With this diet I feel that my snacking and eating-cravings has dissapeared. I have learned to appreciate the feeling of being hungry between meals. I have also got used to not eating all that meat anymore. I don't miss it.
I think it is impressive that you got the energy to another baby right away. What is the tactic for your sway this time? Are you doing anything differently from last time?

[Dreamsister]

Oh yes, that would be absolutely amazing. Very exciting too see who is getting the first BFP.

[3'sacharm]

It really would be amazing to all get bfps at similar times, or at the very least a buddy each ;)

Well, kids back at school!!! Exercise done, an hour on the treadmill mainly walking on an incline but 20mins of intervals thrown in too and paid lip service to some toning as I hate to think I'm losing what's left of my arse :o I'm planning on swimming tomorrow lunch time then running with my group tomorrow night... Got another race this Sunday so more training this week for that!x

Thanks! Here is my sway:

Breastfeeding
LE diet sticking to limits with 1800-2000cals to keep my milk supply up
Exercise 60-70min cardio 6+ days a week
Alcohol 3-4 days a week from AF-O
BDing every 4 days
Folic acid 2400mcg
CoQ10 100mg twice a day
*Fiber before fatty meals once DS3 is 6mo

That's it! I'm not doing any other exercise besides cardio this time. I'm also strictly staying in the limits for fat and protein this time too.

[Beautifulrainbow]

Looking good 3,sacharm! Wish i had more will power.
I think I ended up swaying boy with my exercise!
Fitting it in I think I averaged every other day. I just read you either do nothing at all that's how I got my boys or you do 60×6 days. Anything less sways boy!

Don't worry about it, I think the fact that you did exercise this time and didn't with your boys is a great factor!

How many days approx did you do per week?

You also have a lot of other parts of your sway that really sway pink [emoji3]

I am still in 2ww (4dpo) the time is dragging!!!! Tempted to start testing on Friday (8dpo) and just expect a bfn.

Will do 60 mins on exercise bike again tonight while watching my soaps on tv!

[Beautifulrainbow]

Thats what i was thinking maybe because I did zero with my boys that some this time is just enough of a opposite!
I may have exercise for 3-4days in a row 1 week with a days break then back on it for another 2-3days then maybe 2 days break then maybe another 3 days with another days break. kind of my pattern as it was such busy month something would pop up! This is why I guessed it averaged every other day!
Yay on tww!
It's so long to wait lol I got bfn 8dpo and 1st thing on 9dpo, later on in the day I got bfp! (Still taking it with a pinch of salt even though it's looking a bit darker today!) I will be do excited to see you bfp too.xxxx

Huge congrats BR!! I can't wait for you to test Jennypenny!

I did my usual walk wearing my DS3 and pushing my DS2 in a stroller. We took a gander down a trail off the route we take. It was a nice change!

I too think any change is great from when we got our boys. The exercise piece was a bit tricky for me as I think it contributed to me getting my DS3 last time. I did the dancing type cardio for 25-30min followed by power yoga,to keep my heart rate up, to round out the 60min. I didn't want to chance it this time, so I'm only doing cardio. I may do PiYo afterward some days, but I don't see that happening anytime soon! Especially since we are moving forward with getting the new house!

This diet and exercise has changed me. Don't get me wrong I still like a burger now and again ( espcially if it's a big tasty just try and stop me) chocolate and sweets yum!

I'm going to take a day off I think. DS3 is teething and I may have had a broken 4 hours sleep. I'm not too sure- everything is a blur. I may change my mind....

Still no AF. I've been faked out. BFN Sunday with a blue dye test and those never work for me. I'll get a FRER or a CB digi this weekend if nothing happens.

See this is weird. I've worked out much harder for longer periods of time with my other two boys while nursing, and my period always came right on time. Even when I used to run regularly. I had pink CM Saturday and Sunday along with cramps. Nothing. I also have had a dip in my supply with softer breasts like I always do before AF comes, DS3 doesn't seem to like the taste as well (this didn't happen when AF first came in March), I'm more thirsty, and my appetite is HUGE. Some of these could be progesterone related. Needless to say, I'm freaking out, which is an understatement, haha!

Glittermouse can you do something low key like just a walk/slow jog/low intensity bike? I went to the gym 2 days ago and felt it in my legs as if my muscles had a big work out just from the xtrainer,bike and running. So now I'm only doing that once a week as I don't want to build muscle and just doing low key bike at home

Thanks hun for the reply and your suggestions. On Sunday we did have a big family walk, bit start stop to be honest, no sitting/resting, just pulling the boys out of puddles, mud pits etc My legs were so painful when I ran after them I thought I'd better rest and leave the TM for a while. I've just spent the last 2 evenings having muscle soak baths and using massage oil to try and soothe my legs (TBH it's been a real hardship and I've missed running in 16 layers in my freezing cold garage!! :rofl:).

I think you may be right about the bike, I have one set up so will give it a go. Is that less impact on the legs? Otherwise I might have this week off fully to recover and then force myself to follow a proper warm up/cool down from then on?

How you getting on? Still feeling a bit weak/lethargic? Gotta mean it's working eh?

[3'sacharm]

Why is it your legs are so sore glitter mouse?? Get on the bike!!! I find it a doddle compared to anything else; I like running but to be honest, I'm really not a fan of the treadmill so I'd lay off that and either walk for an hour or get on the bike for sure!! And yes, 3 days without exercise?!! You've made me seriously twitch now lol!!!x

[chocolate]

I guess that for me any muscle aches mean Ive worked the muscles which I don't really want. I got a cheap exercise bike from argos for about £80 and do an hour a day on level 5 or 6 and only ache when I get off it but not later in the day like I do after a gym class or using the gym machines. I think an uphill walk would make me ache though when dieting!
I'm feeling OK but I have dropped 1 metformin tablet as I think it lowered my sugar too much. My plan is to eat low gi and low sugar/carbs/protein and the month of ttc to take my metformin again and grin and bare the aches and lethargic feelings. I've just booked my mum to babysit for 10dpo so me and Oh can go out for a slap up meal without worrying so much :-) Something to aim for!!

Ladies, thanks so much for your replies xxx

I think my legs are sore because they're injured. Lack of warming up , strain, wear and tear on them etc. Shin splint pain which a running specialist told me is largely caused by your calf muscles and mine are quite tight due to my running style. I'm not a natural runner, different strokes for different folks I suppose. I enjoy exercise but much happier doing yoga, pilates, aerobics DVDs that sort of thing. Just can't find one that lasts for 60 mins cardio?? Its all weights and toning and 20 mins cardio. I'm tied to working out at home. We don't have the budget for the gym at the moment- I already feel guilty on my boys for focusing so much on swaying so feel any extra cash should go on them-days out, treats etc.

I will defo give the bike a go. It's not an exercise bike but a road bike on a stand. Still be ok?

Chocolate, can I be thick? What is metformin? Your plan for a slap up meal sounds fantastic!!

[chocolate]

Metformin is for Pcos to lower blood sugar levels, I used to have Pcos quite badly but it's eased off so taking it now may mean my sugar levels go quite low.

Yes I think your usual bike on a stand will be a great alternative for now!

I too struggle with shin splints,can only run every other day or less for 20 to 30 mins maximum before I get really bad pains. Don't suffer when I only run once a week and use the bike though :-)
It's great to have a date to aim too, I already know I'll be having lamb shoulder with garlic mash and veg followed by a pudding :-)

Right, the bike it is! I will change things up, bit of running when recovered, bit of bike. Might be the boost I need TBH. Managing ok with diet but think changing my exercise might shift a bit more weight and motivate me further x

Hey can I join? Just started 6 days of cardio, Sunday I ran for an hour, Monday I did a cardio dvd ( it was warm up 20 mins set, 16 min set and 17 min set with warm down) does that qualify as an hour? I walked for an hour today, good exercising for pink sway? Many thanks

[Beautifulrainbow]

Welcome girlie you will have a lot of giggles in here. I have been including my warm up with in my hour because it's all about getting the heart rate raised for an hour and during the warm up up start getting your heart rate up. Could you maybe leave the cool down until after the hour is up. Because that is bringing your heart rate down again? Sounds like your off to a great start though!

How are you doing, Glittermouse? I also sometimes feel guilty on my boys for focusing too much on swaying. My boys must think I am a cardio-addict. In the weekends I always dress in running clocthes first thing in the morning to do the cardio outside or in the house at the floor while they play or watch iPad. Several days a week I get up at 5.15 and do the cardio first thing before they wake up. If you have the energy and are able to go early to bed I can recommend you to get up with sunrise and do your cardio at this time, because then you'll have the day and afternoons together with your boys. I can really recommend the Bipasha Basu full body routine workout-video you can look up at Youtube and continue with 30 min. fast walk outside. I think this will be gentle on your legs. Hope you are able to get back to the cardio soon.

[Beautifulrainbow]

As my eldest is 11 (and has put on a bit of weight) I used to get him involved too when he was in school. Or I'd do my excuse by walking them to the park! My 2 older boys would ask if they could eat the same as me because it looked so nice

I'm about to go to the gym; was meant to be doing some hill sprints with a friend this morning but she bailed and as I ran 12.5km last night, I figured I'd have a rest day from running and do some sprint training tomorrow instead...x

What a lovely, kind reply dreamsister thank you and you too beautifulrainbow x You ladies are all so lovely and thoughtful and have offered me some really great ideas. My boys are only 3 and 4 years old so I do find it tricky to do anything for me really when I'm with them and especially to keep it going for an hour! They are still little and very needy!! I am up already at 5.30 am with my boys-they are very early risers and are frequently up through the night. Think this is also why its all taking its toll. Apart from the eldest being at school, I have the youngest for sometime during the day and then I work half the week too.

Having said all of that, I'm gonna give your ideas a go. I might try exercising straight after school when they're both tired from the day and happy to watch telly/ipad. I know I'll be mithered but I will try to move briskly whilst tending to their every whim!

I really fancy that 'Bipasha Basu', really sounds up my street. Maybe they'll join in with me? Will look into it later xxx

Hi girlieplease, it's great that you joined us! This is a very active, friendly group, you'll love it here! Agree with beautifulrainbow, you've made a great start to your sway. Also second her advice on doing the cool down after the 60 mins. Now I just need to get my own self in gear and actually do the cool down!!

[Dreamsister]

Yes, GlitterMouse, try to get your boys to dance with you. That sounds awesome. My youngest (5) is sometimes doing a little bit with me. The other two (8 and 9) teases me and calls it the sexy video because the dancers in the video dresses in hotpants and bra... I do it in the room where my nabours can't see.... Otherwise they must think I am in a 40-something mid life crisis running around in fittness clothes and doing sexy movements ha ha.
With two toddlers in the home you must be busy. I work almost full time five days a week, so fitting in one hour cardio almost on daily basis is also really a huge challenge. Happy that we got each other here on this forum to keep up motivation and support when there is no one else to talk to about swaying.

[GlitterMouse]

Ha ha! Love the 40 something mid life crisis comment! It will be interesting to hear my boys' reaction to the bras and hot pants! Hopefully they'll join in for a bit, get bored and move onto something else!

Everyone on here is so amazing. Getting up for workouts and working full time whilst having three kids is a massive effort! Very, very impressive!

Will keep you posted on how it goes.

Welcome Girlieplease! I walk for an hour wearing my DS3 in a front carrier while pushing my DS2 in a stroller. This really gets my heart rate up! Walking briskly/power walking is great for pink!

The important part of the exercise is that it is cardio based for 60 full minutes. The cool down can be part of it, but if possible make it solid 60min followed by a cool down if needed.

My two youngest are at odd ages making it hard for me to do the exercise unless I do it this way. Do what works for you! I can't wait until my DS3 is older and enjoys my DH more so I can get back into running.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I have three amazing children, one girl my eldest and then had ds1 and ds2. I have never tried to sway with any of my previous pregnancies but I would love to give dd a sister and she wants so badly it breaks my heart! I never had any problems conceiving my children but expect to have some difficulties now as am older and trying to sway pink. My dh is very anti swaying, though he is happy to have another baby. He thinks we will end up with a boy whatever we do. I think am going to exercise, skip breakfast, two meals per day, no meat and one attempt in fertile period, wine and see what happens and just accept it is mostly going to be a boy! Looking forward to this journey with you guy's and hope we all get healthy sticky beans soon! Must go to sleep as I have my cardio dvd to look forward to in a few hours!

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

That made me laugh! On a serious note though, although I am still laughing at your public bone! I got SPD when I was pregnant with my second, so painful my husband had to help me turn over in bed, and I had quite a small bump, even walking was excruciating. I was very active whilst pregnant, running, spinning, gym classes, but stopped for a while when I got SPD, then randomly I got so down not doing any exercise I went to a spin class, worked really hard and I literally felt like a new woman when I walked out! I practically flew out of the room and the SPD disappeared for good! I don't know why, perhaps the tilt of my pelvis on the bike managed to dislodge a nerve or relieve some pressure somewhere, but it was that that sorted it out!

[Dreamsister]

Wauh, XXfh, it's truly amazing how you manage to push your two toddlers and be so active while still breastfeeding and wake up at night. Don't you get problems with your back? I remember when I was at maternity leave with my last two, I used to wealk/run for hours pushing the baby carriage in front of me. This nearly damaged my back so much that I had to spend lots of money on chiropractor to fix it.

No my hubby wasnt because I don't know what it is. He was taking licorice root. last year with breaks. it's meant to lower sperm count and sway girl but my hubby was tested in January and he didn't have a lower count do he dropped it and was only taking cranberry up until o o'd though!

Awe, thanks ladies! My back doesn't hurt because the front carrier I have has a great back support belt that wraps around to keep my posture correct.

I don't give my DH anything this time, because my sway has to be uber stealth, otherwise my DH will put the brakes on TTCing. He doesn't want to get his hopes up again for a DD.

My sway only includes the stuff that works, nothing else. Diet, exercise, one attempt through BDing every 4 days, folic acid, alcohol, and fiber once DS3 is 6mo. Nothing more. Plus, I'm not allowing myself to obsess over this and that like last time. I was a hot mess and totally missed the point of what swaying is to accomplish.

Plus, my DH eats mainly vegetarian with me and has pretty much adopted the LE lifestyle that I don't think he needs anything else to sway in his favor this time.

Ladies, you're all doing great! Just pick yourselves back up and start again! I find the more kind we are to ourselves, the easier all this becomes. We've all made some big changes from how we got our boys. Let's focus on that and let that help us to regroup and continue on.

These damn weekends make swaying harder! Too many naughty temptations and reasons not to do exercise! Last week was a crazy week for me and husband was away so my exercise was rubbish. Started well today though, ran to the gym, quicker than normal as I was running late! Then did a combat class and power walked back. Nearly 900 cals! Wish that meant that I could eat a mountain of chocolate! Proabably overate a bit at dinner though as was so hungry form the exercise earlier. I will be better tomorrow and aiming to go for a long run/walk with my 18 month old up some serious hills tomorrow lunch with him asleep in the pram. Fingers crossed, everyone please shout really loud to make me go, I might just hear!

[Girlieplease]

I did my cardio workout this morning, I walked for an hour yesterday at a fast pace, but how fast does it have to be to be considered cardio? I thought it does not matter as along as your exercising because your not at rest? I run 4 -6 miles when I go so I do not think walking would ever get me out of breath of you see what I mean? I am not exercising tomorrow as it is the only day per week I cannot fit it in, Thursday I am running again and then swimming on Friday and Saturday and then running again on Sunday. Does that seem reasonable? I am finding it tough to get it fitted in but find getting up at 6am before the kids is great and then it is done for the day. Good luck with the exercising ladies!

[Frilly Lady]

Sound good to me Girlieplease, nice and varied too. I either run or speed walk, as long as my heart rate is raised then I'm guessing it's good.

[XXforhubby]

It's more important that it's any kind of cardio for 60min. Even leisurely walking for an hour is fine. It is slightly better to walk briskly/power walking but any cardio is good. Running is fine but it may cause people to lose too quickly and either need to eat more or stop exercising to bring back ovulation. Unless you were an avid runner before swaying, it might not be sustainable if it takes more than a few cycles to conceive.

Any difference between those doing 6 and those doing 7 days per week?does it make any difference if your doing 6 as opposed to 7? Am currently doing 6 but if it made a big difference I would up it to 7, thanks

Did mine today. 1 hour 20 min power walk and run with my 18mo in the pram. Glorious sunshine today here and had a million things to do but didn't want to waste the amazing weather so got out! Bring on tomorrow! Well done to everyone who did theirs today x

i'm doing 6x / week too around 65 minutes with a mix of running and power walk since Feb. Sometimes I can't fit it in and end up doing 5x a week but trying to keep at 6x/week. Atomic I know there is a lot written about exercise... but what is it about exercise 60+min, vegetarian and 1 attempt that are having some great sway success?

Hi ladies how are yous all going ??
I've got a feeling I'm out this month I tested today being 8dpo and negative ��..
So am thinking of starting the cardio again as I can now and my visitors have gone home and I can get back into routine.

I'm just not sure if this will ok? Will it sway boy ? If I stopped and now restart again.
I will commit again to 5days plus a week TM

Hi BR , there is hope!! I just feel its a very important part of a girl sway, I really didn't want to stop but got so sick with the flu and then had to go away and also having visitors from intestate was hard to continue to commit .

Gladly I have still lost weight even though I stopped , has been 5 weeks since no exercise but only have lost 2kilos. When I was exercising it was a kilo a week . So do prefer the exercise route!!!

Iam over the diet though, but would do LE again to get weight off after I do have another baby .

How are you feeling br? Hows the eating going now that u can JUST EAT.... Whenever whatever
SO jealous

Morning ladies!! Had my rest day yesterday and boy did I need it after 2x 12.5hr shifts in a row!! Absolutely knackered last night and today but went for a 9mile run this morning so that was 1hr 20mins of cardio. Glad to have it out the way but my back is niggling and felt quite sick when I got home, seems to have settled now though. It's nice to make the most of the weather while its here! I'm just sitting down to my veggie stir fry with noodles. Did I read somewhere that skipping breakfast isn't appearing to be as successful as no snacking/2-3 meals per day??? What are you ladies all up to in this glorious sunshine?xx

I'm completing my 9 days in a row this morning. I too am enjoying this lovely weather, which is going to turn tomorrow to rain, rain, and more rain [emoji12]. I feel like I'm in a good groove with everything and just need AF to show back up!

I've lost another 3.5lbs!! I am now officially below my pregnancy weight with DS2. I have my work cut out for me to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight from DS3...slow and steady though, since who knows how long it will take for me to get a BFP and I don't want to waste away to nothing.

I hope everyone is doing well!

UK ladies. Have you heard about tax credits not being paid for more than 2 children that are born after 6 of April 2017? if you have your 3rd or 4th child before 6th April 2017 you will continue to be paid tax credits for those children
