Beef and Broccolini stir fry

After an exhausting week last week, I gave myself Friday off for exercise, then did the core workout Saturday and the Super Session on Sunday.  Unfortunately I then hit a bit of scheduling overload – my husband is away for the week and I have my mum here to help out with the bub, so I scheduled all those appointments I’ve been putting off for too long.  You know the sort of thing - tax, doctor, physio…  Well, with one thing and another, I wasn’t home for more than an hour at a time (and I still have to eat!), so no exercise was done.  I stuck to the food though, so hopefully everything is still on track.

My physio visit was very interesting.  I went through some of the exercises for the next week with her to check my form and ensure my pelvic floor is remaining strong (4 months post-baby I still need to be really careful here!).  She’s recommended some modifications to some of the exercises, that some I do the “simple” version of to ensure proper form and not to do them to the point of fatigue as I will get sloppy if I do.  Then there are one or two that she thinks I shouldn’t do for a few more months – don’t want to do some damage now and end up with a dodgy pelvic floor later on!  So I found that really interesting and it has given me confidence to keep going with the exercises I am doing and to not feel guilty about substituting one or two where my body isn’t ready for it yet.  Man there’s a lot to take in with this baby business!

So, with 2 days exercise not done – I’m going to be back on the horse, so to speak, tomorrow.  Cardio day, here I come!

Any other 12wbt’ers with exercises they’ve been advised to avoid?
