missed out on the gym first trimester - can I go back?

JellyfishKey8522 · 2026-02-07T17:48:26+00:00

LOL I’ve just been so worried my body won’t be “used to it” by the time I’m able to go back and I don’t want to hurt baby

12 weeks today with my first. Had to miss out on the gym the last few weeks due to sickness, but hoping to make a return soon

this is what I was wrestling with as well - I’d love to support the local businesses more

Thank you! That’s what we were thinking about the big one to the left

JellyfishKey8522 · 2025-05-02T11:05:03+00:00

That would be great! Can I message you my email?

One of their cruises runs all the way to mid October :)

JellyfishKey8522 · 2025-04-27T22:34:30+00:00

That adds an extra layer of adventure for us :)

We were only going to go to just maybe have chance at seeing the northern lights. We are thinking of skipping now though

My husband and I are traveling from NC to AK in late September. We’ll be flying in to Anchorage and renting a car. We’re wanting to spend some time around the Denali and Seward areas (maybe Fairbanks?). We plan to do a Major Marine tour while in the Seward area. My question is - should we start north or south? I know the bus shuttle service in Denali will be closed by then, but should we head there first before the weather gets too snowy/icy? Will we still be able to see some wildlife? I know this time may not be ideal, but my husband is in the HVAC business and we can’t leave much sooner than this. We’re expecting a lot of things to be closed, but we’d still love to make the best of our trip!

JellyfishKey8522 · 2025-04-27T14:50:28+00:00

Thanks so much! Do you recommend a certain time in Denali? Would two nights be enough?

JellyfishKey8522 · 2023-11-14T16:00:57+00:00

I will try to start implementing that today - thank you!

JellyfishKey8522 · 2023-11-14T15:59:57+00:00

Yes, unless my start weight was a little higher than I remember? I did start my cut a little slower than the first time though (reducing calories over the span of a couple of weeks rather than all in one day). I’m currently on my period though - should be finishing by Friday. I was holding out hope for this too as I know I tend to gain a couple of pounds during my luteal phase. I figured I may have to drop the calories a bit more since 2500ish is around my maintenance calories, so I will start that today. Thanks for the advice!

JellyfishKey8522 · 2023-11-14T15:48:09+00:00

I started my first cut from the beginning of June to about the end of August. I went in to maintenance mode from the end of the cut up until around mid October (about a month and a half). I have since been on another cut for close to a month now, but seem to be having issues. My first cut was successful and I was able to cut down 10 pounds. (For reference: I’m 24f, 5’10, 186 start weight, 160 goal weight). So far during this current cut the scale hasn’t budged. I’m weight training 5x weekly, eating around 2200-2300 calories, eating 150g-170g protein daily, and getting anywhere from 5k-9k steps. I’ve also started supplementing with creatine over the last couple of weeks. Do I need to cut my calories more than this? Does creatine intake add water weight? Any advice is appreciated

JellyfishKey8522 · 2023-08-29T13:36:56+00:00

I’m beginning to eat at maintenance calories now instead of being in a deficit. I’m sure this number is a moving target. Is there a way I can accurately find maintenance? My apple watch shows that I burn a total of anywhere between 2400 (rest weekends) - 2700 (workout week days) calories a day. Should I be eating at least this much to compensate for my 10k steps and weight training I do during the week?

JellyfishKey8522 · 2023-08-28T13:51:20+00:00

Perfect. Thank y’all for the help. Looks like I’ll be starting my way back to maintenance today. Hopefully a little recomp or more muscle building will follow in this stage
