I am in the process of my second miscarriage and I am totally taking my stress out in exercise. I recently began swimming laps a few mornings a week before work and it's something that i am new to. It feels so good to be pushing my body in new ways and focusing on nothing but my breathing with each stroke. Something, anything to take my mind off my quest for a baby.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948991373763811434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838573435997763550.post-36159113834477594932010-06-06T17:22:46.487-07:002010-06-06T17:22:46.487-07:00Thinking of you and hoping AF shows soon. <3Thinking of you and hoping AF shows soon. <3Three Cats and a Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757969648902689785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838573435997763550.post-61089885042205168382010-06-04T09:03:46.353-07:002010-06-04T09:03:46.353-07:00Good for you!

You will notice results in no time. Love the emotional aspect that exercise gives as well. Now I just have to find the motivation to actually do it.

I complain about it a lot, yet I never do anything to fix it. I really should start now though. That way it doesn't get too out of control during/after pregnancy (whenever that might be).Kaitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824893119014306595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838573435997763550.post-44349454734710463732010-06-03T19:30:12.371-07:002010-06-03T19:30:12.371-07:00I hope you continue to feel better.

It's hard not to be angry and feel betrayed. And, I've been pretty successfully avoiding the gym. Morning workouts are an inspiration!
