I was doing well with exercise have got a new cardio DVD for the days I can't manage a gym class. Between work and spending time with my 3yo I don't seem to have much time left. Is everyone else exercising in the evening too?

Hi ladies I'm ttc my girl next cycle (Oing around Feb 1 or so) so have started cardio! I live in Canada and in the last month we've gotten several feet of snow so thankfully I have a treadmill which I love using. I've been running an hour a day since NYE day (today was day 5), only a 15ish minute mile pace so not super fast but I can put in 4-4.5 miles in that hour without feeling like I've overexerted myself. My body is craving protein and sugar like crazy... but I've been doing my best to resist overdoing eating! I have 3 little boys and it's Christmas break so they're all home every day right now. I run when my almost 20 month old takes his nap around 1pm. I'm not working fulltime currently which has at least given me the ability to fit in all this cardio, I'm not sure I could keep up with it otherwise. Kinda looking forward to school starting up again next week... lol!
I set my alarm for 6:15am every morning and do my cardio then to Dance Central on Xbox Kinect. Actually really like it.

I started the diet and exercise back in June but external stress caused me to let it slide in Nov and Dec. I lazily skipped the exercise but stayed Veggie but definitely went over the totals a lot. Started again this week properly. Hope we catch an egg soon as I feel like it's been AGES!
Good luck ladies. Remember to share great meal ideas and recipes on the food thread!
Could you post a link to the food thread? I'm not sure if I can access not a dream member yet! Exercise is way harder in the winter! I've hidden all my Christmas goodies too so that once I get a bfp I can take the lid off! [emoji23]

This one is great too:

Also if you type "recipes" or "LE diet" in the search box you'll probably find lots of others
PS I'm not sure which are in the members section. I didn't join up for a while when I first found this site but when I did I was pleased as I found lots more info.
These are great thank you!

You never know! Let's all keep up the good work! I've been watching YouTube videos whilst on gym machines seem to help! Otherwise I do dance Zumba type classes.

Hit the gym on Friday - 20 minute walk and then a 45 minute pilates class.
Saturday - 35 minute cross trainer and then a 20 minute circuit with light weights and ab work.
Sunday - rest
Today - will have a 30 minute walk at lunch and then a class of aqua.
I have to mix it up to keep the motivation up!
I'm dying on the bike today !
So hard everyday :(
I don't know much longer I can keep this up!!! It's so hard !!!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've done 60 last night (class) and 60 today on the cross trainer- not loving it at the moment either.
Just think of the end goal butterflies! Even if it doesn't work think how much fitter we will be to run around after the next little one x

I read today exercise is more effective in the morning too! (Zero chance of this for me!!)
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The chances of exercise for me in the mornings are slim-to-none too . I do mind right before bed most days, walking on the elliptical. I aim for 60 minutes and sometimes do 50. Does it make a huge difference if the exercises in the morning? I hope not but regardless I've just got to do it when I can. How are you all staying motivated? I keep trying to think of the healthier weight range I want before pregnancy and the possibility of a girl.Quote:

Hi WeezieWoozles! I wanted to message you as I remember reading about your failed HRC attempt and your DH had lots of xx but it just didn’t happen that time and my heart really went out to you at the time! I’m so happy that you got your DD! Congratulations on your baby girl!! Wonderful!!
I’m trying again I have 3DS and am adding exercise to this sway, was really good for about 6 weeks then a week away I didn’t have access to gym and then children starting back at school and me new job so it’s bern 3 weeks break now- eek! Back to it today!
(I don’t know why it’s put my comment here?? but hey hope all our dreams come true)
Just wanted to pop in here and say that while I didn't include a strict exercise regimen in my other 2 sways I am doing it this time. My mom just recently has been diagnosed with being borderline diabetic. She has to track her blood sugar every morning and has discovered that while it usually is in the high 120's when waking up or even 130's, when she exercises the day before it is between 100-110. This is even when she had something like pizza the night before. I guess it really does make a difference. I'm a believer now.
Above all else, the exercise has been consistently high results. Not a magic bullet, but for anyone who has gotten boys without exercise, it's a great thing to add in!! :) :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Is there a point where it's too much cardio? I have been doing 60 minutes of power walking every day but now feel so good after im craving more so I upped it to 80 minutes. I will up it a little more too in a couple weeks closer to our first attempt. I normally hate exercise so this is crazy.
Man! I am new here and want to start swaying girl before #2, but it seems like the odds are against me! I'm petite, eat low calories generally, love me some pasta, run half marathons (ok used to), and am vegetarian... with one wonderful little boy. :) Excited for some motivational support and study-based education before I get started though! Keep it up, ladies! I am a natural couch potato who stopped running and am psyched that there is a good reason to get back into it. Will be a whole different game with an anti-jogging stroller toddler though!
As long as you're not losing too much weight too quickly and your cycle stays regular, 80 minutes is fine (don't up it right before attempt though because you can end up delyaing ovulation that way)
The main concern is that exercise can be kind of addictive, there's a kind of eating disorder where people start exercising more and more so I'd just draw the line at 80 or 90 min. and no more than that.
Hi everyone, I recently had a m/c and from being pregnant I gained ten pounds because I was underweight. I want to start working out again, to clear my mind. I don’t plan on trying again till end of the year. So if I want to do my exercises of squats and weights how long before restarting the le diet in full effect to drop the work outs. I just plan on do some work outs here and there till Summer, then mostly cardio for Summer. Since I’ll be busy when all four kids are at home. But for now, I need something to do to help me clear my mind.
6 weeks before TTC for exercise changes.
Damn the working out is such a lifestyle change for me!
I have a crosstrainer in my living room that I use and Im going to pick up cycling to work again.
Anyone else struggling?
I think variation will make it work for me!

It doesn't ahve to be super intense. Even just walking will do it! Many times people start off too intense and then either quit because they're miserable or because they get hurt, so start off doing something easier than you think you'll need. You can always get better from there.
I'm sad my elliptical is broken so the past few weeks I've really slacked off on exercise :(
I cant really do walking with my schedule (it's still too dark to go before or after work and I usually work out at 5am) so I've been doing workout videos off YouTube but it's harder for me to stay motivated with those and a lot of them encorporate a large amount of strength training.
I've tried videos from Blogilates and Pop Sugar fitness and still struggling to enjoy it and stay motivated. Anyone have a great YouTube workout channel you use or would recommend that has good cardio heavy workouts?
Ah I feel you! I used to love the workouts of millionaire hoy, he unfortunately left YouTube and has a paid channel now.Quote:

I recently had a early loss and been very depressed. I will start the LE diet in mid Summer again. I want to add excerise this time. I don’t think I can handle 6 days of 60 mins with my four kids. I hope 4 days would be enough. Praying for one last healthy daughter, we want a Summer baby, so starting to try around Fall time :)
Nearly a week exercising straight. I must say... this has soooo opened my eyes as to how unfit I am. I’ve been walking and running (if we can call it that) on the treadmill. It’s so far removed from my normal couch potato lifestyle. I think I’m going to struggle.
Ok. this is where we regroup. No more running. Just walk. You CAN do this, but the thing people do wrong is pushing too hard too fast, and ending up hating it every second and/or injured. I PROMISE that walking is enough. It really works for people, and it's sustainable. It doesn't even need to be super intensive racewalking or anything. It just needs to go for 60 minutes without eating in the middle. :)Quote:

Jumping on here because I want to start exercising. I love walking and an ideal world I would walk every day for 60 minutes- but having small kids makes it hard. The older two would be beyond bored by an hour long walk, and the baby doesn’t tolerate the stroller very long. Looks like I’ll be waking up early before husband goes to work. Anyone else struggle with what to do with their kids while they exercise? (I really dislike the gym atmosphere so that’s not an option for me).
I have struggled with this my entire life LOL and I ended up doing videos at home and/or doing steps to music instead.
i was in a similar position, taking the kids wouldnt work and i also dont want to go to a gym, my exercise was walking the dog and i started out going before the kids got up and then when the nights got lighter i started going after the kids had gone to bed, often walking as late as 9pm-10pm. is it summer where you live now? if it is could going late be an option? :)Quote:
