Made it to yoga today. It's unbelievable how much fitness and flexibility I lost after spending 7 weeks with my head in the toilet, not to mention the two months prior to that the physical therapist banned me from it. This should have been a relaxing and enjoyable class - an easy-going lesson plan that happened to include all my favorite poses - but I found myself fighting dizzy and nauseous spells and having to sit out a lot.
But at least I went, and at least I didn't have to leave early.
I'm still quite nauseous for the majority of the latter part of every day, but I hope I'm able to keep easing back into physical activity in the mornings. It's been so hard to even contemplate working out that I'm starting to be afraid I lost 3+ years of good exercise habits in just 7 weeks.

It's different for everyone of course, but if it helps at all, I'm fitter now after having two babies than I was before (and yes I did work out then but had never done triathlon). If you want it, you will find a way to make it work.
No way. You know what your new healthy lifestyle has brought you in benefits and a small blip in ability to keep it up will not deter you in the future, I'm sure. If anything, having kids has been a better motivator for me to keep up healthier habits, I've got to be a role model for them. Hope you're completely recovered soon, the second trimester can be fun.
The 2nd trimester will be better. The 3rd, well, let's not talk about that.
