Halfway there, first time out of jogging pants.

Naturally, as a runner, I've tried to keep up my exercise routine. My MD said I could no longer run with twins, but could do light cardio like the elliptical or walking. I mix up both 5-6 days a week for 40-60minutes. The first trimester I was in no mood to work out or even eat right (was constantly nausea and only eating carbs to feel somewhat normal). Needless to say, the pounds packed on quickly. From a small framed girl and a weight that was easily kept under 120 but always above 110, it was a hard thing to accept. Although there are conflicting feelings of feeling like an elephant and also that of feeling like a vessel full of babies and you are mostly always aware of trying to be as safe and conscientious as you can in mind of your babies, this is a part of life I am glad I am experiencing.
As a nurse, I am on my feet all day and doing things in my job that sometimes instinctively require using my abdominal muscles, moving fast quickly where you could easily forget the size of your abdomen has changed and also bending over when you really can't anymore. So I go home and put my feet up and inevitably feel most comfortable in jogging pants and going bra-less. It's a lifestyle I have rarely pursued, but wow is it great. My usual OCD tasks of cleaning or organized are put to the back of my mind and lackadaisically reminding myself to do them later or perhaps save them for the weekend. I cannot fit in anymore more of my pants or my shirts and this is quite sad, as I refuse to buy myself new clothes when I could be buying clothes or other things for the baby. However, there are times when I gave in and it actually feels good to get into a maternity dress. :)
