I went for a walk on the beach. There was so some foamy poop from sewage after the floods. So many people were out swimming but I stayed well away as I have played the Oregon Trail and do not want dysentery.

I decided to test my hypothesis and do some combat based stuff. This was always my favourite as it kind of feels like I am tricking myself into working out. I started the Fireheart programme thinking I could do a day here and there based on whatever I was feeling...

I did the Push Pull Legs B workout.I've realised that it's not necessarily effort that makes me feel worse but it is body position. So I can do a plank for 30 seconds, but if I do a downward dog into a plank I will throw up. So I've decided to take "easier"...

I rescheduled my gym session for the time of day when I feel the least sick. My trainer and I definitely noticed I was stiff in my joints due to the lack of yoga. So we've come up with a plan for me to add on some stretches in between my sets. We are hoping that...

New challenge for this week is I've started to throw-up daily and feel wretched all day. Not too surprising as I am 8 weeks pregnant and week 9 is usually peak hell week due to the levels of HcG. So I need to be pretty careful for the next fortnight and hopefully...

My brain hurts. I can't really remember what's happened these past few days but I did manage to go for a walk on the beach yesterday. It was lovely to be out in the sunshine.
Today I tried to do some yoga. Threw-up. Gave-up. Then did the Gridlock workout as...

Well I did it. I made it to THE GYM. It was pretty much empty so no overpowering perfumes or sweaty people (why is pregnancy nose so sensitive) and my trainer was super great at waiting for me to burp/yawn between sets. It wasn't a comfortable experience but it was...

After my lovely cardio day yesterday I decided to try some weights. I chose to do the Push Pull Legs B workout because it looked fun and I had a crick in my shoulder from all the sleeping I'm doing. Unfortunately I had no weights to hand but as I am resourceful...

I felt like I needed to move and sweat today because I've been sitting down so much trying to finish my thesis. So I decided to try the Airbourne work out. It had some jumping but apart from the last 2 squat jumps they were pretty small. I took my time and sat...

I felt pretty achy from all the squats the day before so I decided to do arm day! I chose the Slowpoke work out as it spoke to me because I slept for 13 hours the night before. I had to stop after the first set to be sick and then to get a snack because the...
Hello everyone!
This is my new check-in thread for my new exercise challenge. I suffered with hyperemesis gravidarum in my first pregnancy and I spent months in bed unable to move. By the end of the second trimester I found some meds that allowed me to get out of bed and I managed to get back...
