26 Weeks

Feeling prego- and YES I AM PREGNANT AND STILL CROSSFIT!

It's official, I feel bigger... I know I've been bigger for a while... but it's so strange every small change your body goes through.  my clothes fit more snug… and by that, I mean they don't really fit. 

 I am still doing CrossFit. Yes! This was one of my biggest questions to my doctor when I first found out I was pregnant. "Can I continue doing CrossFit?" His answer: "Yes! Continue doing what you have always been doing, but listen to your body."

 I listen to my body, and if it tells me no… then I stop. CrossFit is what keeps me sane. It truly makes me a happier person.  I work out with as well as coach a few women who still attend CrossFit classes while they are pregnant, and I think nothing is more strong and inspiring that a woman who continues to stay fit while she is growing a human. Our bodies are simply amazing! I look at CrossFit as training for delivery. My body will be used to working hard and It will only help for an easier delivery and a must speedier recovery. 

There is just one thing I wish people would stop saying to me.. and that is, "Your body is never going to be the same after having a baby." … I call BS! I don't mean to be rude by any means, but I think that is an excuse to be lazy. An excuse to "settle". Your body is what you make of it. Yeah, it might be hard to get your body back to the way it was pre-pregnancy… but it CAN be the same if you want it to be. Hell, it can even be better!!  End of Rant! 

Much love, 

TAY
