Before I had a kid, I used to do 4 workouts/week. During my pregnancy I kept them on, after a while I had to reduce to 3/week but I did it til labour day. Postpartum, of course I skipped a few months but then went back to 3/week. These are not super professional or super hard workouts, the goal is always to have a nice and fairly tiring one that works on my muscles + cardio.
Together with starting motherhood, a constant fatique also started but I knew this is part of the job…

A few weeks ago (baby is a toddler now) surprisingly I had a ’don’t give a f.ck’ week where I simply wasn’t in the mood and just didn’t do any workouts. And holy cow!!! I suddenly had SO MUCH ENERGY! I didn’t have to fight myself to move around, I could walk and run much more… etc.
So I realized OMG, these workouts eat up my energy and that’s the reason for the constant fatique!

I reduced their duration by 5 minutes and went back to doing 3/week. Two weeks later, I’m freakin tired again. The 3rd of this week should be today and I just can’t make myself do it.

They always say workout is key to stay energized but I feel the complete opposite. I should reduce them even more or doing just 2/week??! But I don’t want to! I like my workouts and I need them for my sanity!

Anyone had the same problem?

Még év elején láttam egy szívszorító hírt, hogy talán januárban vagy decemberben meghalt egy fiatal anyuka a 3. szülése után. Még az rémlik, hogy az apa külföldön dolgozott addig, és Király volt a vezetékneve. (köszi a kommentben pontosítást) Szeretném tudni, hogy van azóta az apuka és a három gyerek, de nem találok róluk infót. Esetleg van itt, aki ismeri őket, tud róluk valamit?
Előre is köszönöm!

Just curious :)

I’m asking it from parents with multiple who no longer have children in baby/infant stage. Some moms told me the grief of that stage being over doesn’t get easier if you re-live it, you still have the same pain of „no longer babies in my life” after the last one grows older. I miss my daughter’s first 2 years so bad that it makes me long for a second child (of course this isn't the only argument), but in other aspects being a mom of 2 scares me. So I can’t decide.
