Does anyone have tips (not routines or videos or anything like that please...set stuff like that doesn't do much for me for reasons I'll he explaining) for getting back into the exercise routine?
I'm not looking to start doing a lot for a while still because I just had my csection about 2 weeks ago and am still having some issues from it. But to explain the other issues, I need something that I can set the pace and such because I have Fibromyalgia, Degenerative Disc Disease, have had 2 back surgeries and am potentially facing a 3rd minor one or a major one to try and get my disc issues under some kind of control, finally, since one of my surgically repaired discs has herniated for a second time, and I'm also having issues with my left shoulder/rotator cuff.
I already plan on eating better but can't fully diet since a reduction in calories can mess with a BFing/Pumping momma's supply, and I know pumping/breastfeeding will help me lose some weight (it did with #1) so I'm only so worried about that aspect of it all.
Thanks y'all!! :)
Oh my!!! Yeah, you've got some challenges. ❤️ first, I'd recommend starting by getting the food in check and by walking. Start with a mile a day. Over time, work your way up. For your food, use something like MyFitnessPal app to track your calories and macros. Shoot for 40% protein, 35% complex carbs, and 25% healthy fats. You can Google search lists of foods in these categories. Avoid your carbs after 4:00. Hit your library and check out a clean eating book by Tosca Reno. You can add calories for pumping/BF'ing and eat super nutritiously and still lose weight. The food will determine 80% of your success. As far as strengthening your rotator cuff, get a resistance band and try out some band stretches and training. If you can't find any online, your doctor should be able to help you with this. I hope that helps. Feel free to follow me on IG and Facebook at erinflaherty818 for tips and motivation. :)
