You see when I say that pregnancy ruins any opportunity I have for exercising - I really mean it. I can't even go for a walk without fear of being in agony from my hip for days afterward.
Canberra has so many gorgeous walking trails around the various lakes and Autumn is the most perfect time of year so I am lucky that this little baby is coming along at just the right time for me to get back to walking.
After I had Harris I started out just going for short walks around the block in the first two weeks and expanding that to some local streets by the end of the third week. I remember it being a big deal to have walked up the 1km hill that is a couple of streets away.
Just goes to show that all achievements can be bench-marked by what we were able to do yesterday!
When I first fell pregnant this time I went and bought some Lorna Jane Flashdance pants in the larger size in the hope that I wouldn't put on too much weight and they would fit my in the weeks and early months after I had the baby. Because sometimes you do just want to wear tracksuit pants! Even in public! When getting dressed in the morning is a challenge you just want to be able to pull something on fast and then not really have to think about it again for a while - but at the same time you want to be able to go out to the shops if you need to.
Well - in my email inbox today was this lovely new offering from Lorna Jane.
They only downside being that they are red and don't seem to come in another colour - but hey perhaps I need to get out of my comfort zone.
I may also need a new hat, and perhaps the shirt to go with it, and a few long sleeve layering shirts, and some new walking shoes....
