I honestly doubt I will get on the horses again, was riding horses for someone that had horses that weren't easy rides, I was thrown off and landed on my back the day of my BFP.....and haven't ridden since! Everything else though, I'd love to try to get back to!</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: @rachiecakes: @Baby Boy Mom: @Maysprout: @sarac: Thank-you! Calories and water I can do, I know some weight will come off (fat weight) and then once I get back at it, muscle weight will start adding up and I know how hungry I can get, so calories won't be a problem! DH works out 5x a week too, and is all over making sure we eat enough for him -we're good eaters, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-establishing-high-level-of-fitness-will-i-definitely-dry-up#post-470606 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 00:21:00 +0000 sarac 470606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've steadily increased my fitness to a much higher level than before I got pregnant, and it hasn't effected my supply. I'm not dieting, though. If I were trying to lose weight by dieting, I think I'd lose my supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-establishing-high-level-of-fitness-will-i-definitely-dry-up#post-470526 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:45:03 +0000 Maysprout 470526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a problem, I started running at 3 weeks post partum and LO is 19 months now and still nurses. I run/bike 5-7 days a week, most of my runs are 5-8 miles, which is less than I used to do so it hasnt been the same post baby. I'm not getting myself back in enough shape to run a 5 min mile but I'm still fairly intense. Stay hydrated and eat enough. Somehow I was my lowest weight since high school while nursing, I think some of it was that there's a fair amount of muscles that I lost from not having quite as much speed and intensity but even at a low body fat I've not had any problems nursing, but I always made sure to eat, eat, eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-establishing-high-level-of-fitness-will-i-definitely-dry-up#post-470363 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 21:46:08 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 470363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never trained that much, but exercise in general didn't seem to affect my supply as long as I was consuming enough calories and drinking enough water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-establishing-high-level-of-fitness-will-i-definitely-dry-up#post-470356 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 21:42:46 +0000 rachiecakes 470356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it did but I think everyone is different. My body definitely held onto weight/water for breastfeeding. Any time I broke a sweat it seemed to change my supply.<br /> But I've had tons of friends that it didn't make a difference at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-establishing-high-level-of-fitness-will-i-definitely-dry-up#post-470334 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 21:34:01 +0000 mrskc 470334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice but dang girl you are busy! That's a whole lot of exercise. Good for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-establishing-high-level-of-fitness-will-i-definitely-dry-up#post-470322 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 21:28:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 470322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see why it would as long as you eat enoughg calories and drink enough water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-establishing-high-level-of-fitness-will-i-definitely-dry-up#post-470319 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 21:26:52 +0000 Beebug 470319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to start working out again soon, and between running (long distance, will ease up to 3-5 runs/week), walking (already 2x a day), swimming (1-3x a week), ultimate frisbee (I'm usually the one who never stops running and am hard to keep up with, 2 games/week), fitness classes (kettle bell and bosu and medicine balls) and maybe getting on a horse again, my normal is pretty busy. I have a 10km race I registered for in May and will train to finish it in 44 mins or so.</p> <p>Will working my way back to normal (above) probably (definitely?) end bf'ing for me?</p> <p>Sounds awful, but I'm ok if it does, selfishly getting my body back at this point is more important to me over EBFing.</p> <p>However, just wanting to see if anyone has gone back to a high level of busy/fitness and not dried up or gone sour? lol</p> <p>Or did it last for X amt of time, and you split between BFing and formula? </p>
