I am 6 months post delivery. I have not been able to get my body back to it’s pre pregnancy place. As a result, going on a datenight in a small town has some challenges. Since I’m nursing I don’t drink much so that’s out. Working out 5 days a week trying to get this body back doesn’t exactly make me want to eat out at a restaurant. That doesn’t leave much for options. So I have started asking my husband to take me on trail rides. It’s a dual bonus. I used to compete on my horse now I just feel uncoordinated and a little awkward on him. Just me and my husband up in the hills no one to see me if there is a mishap. Plus few realize that riding is an excellent core and leg workout. I know because every time I ride I get sore in places the gym doesn’t cover. Last night we went on a 1.5 hour ride in the hills above a lake. Totally peaceful and relaxing except for the squirrel that popped out on the trail that might have been willing to take on my horse (the horse thought so anyway).
