So, I know you aren't supposed to start some bad-ass fitness regimen when you are trying to conceive. But luckily, I am not bad-ass. I can barely jog the 5k setting at the gym and even then I walk a lot of it. I do think I need to lower my BMI (my scale at home says 29% so my goal is 26%, which is still higher than the recommended 24% but something might be wonky with that scale) and having an exercise goal is necessary. So while come August 27 I may not be running or even jogging those 3+ miles, I can at least "train" my body to be fit enough to walk briskly. And hopefully I'll have reached my goal.
If I get pregnant before then, I will be walking the 5k. If not, I will at least be fitter than I am now which might be ideal for pregnancy, but ideal for a non-pregnant me.
Wedding in California? Check. Marriage to a wonderful man? Check. Trying to have a baby after age 35? Check. This is the journey.

- A former New Jerseyite, Lori followed the directive to "Go, West!" before the turn of the century. She had gotten married, lost her mother to cancer, and had a baby girl (who is now a preschooler), before Lori realized that she didn't know what the hell she was doing. She is still trying to figure that thing called work-life balance. "One Little Girl Grows Up" is her journey as a mother who lost her own mother. She hopes you will bear with her.
