My pull up progress has felt so slow compared to some of the other amazing fitness moms I see out there

BUT progress is still progress and at the end of the day not giving up and consistency = results no matter how slow.

Follow to join the journey!

This week of 3 Exams 2 quizzes and 3 assignments while being sick felt like a good time to remind myself that everything worthwhile I’ve ever had/done was never easy.

If high school Lori could have known she would get to peruse her dream of becoming a doctor of physical therapy @unthealth.dpt she would be SO grateful.

First trimester sickness with a toddler during PT school was definitely not on my bucket list but I’m glad we could cross it off 😮‍💨✅

There are a lot of opinions that float around about all the things you SHOULDN’T do while pregnant… In fact before the 1980s, pregnant women were often advised to rest and avoid strenuous exercise, and while some of those ideas still have traces in our society today let’s talk about how science and research is changing that narrative.

A 2025 systematic review looked at 9 randomized controlled trials with 1,581 pregnant women and found benefits like:

• Less low back + sciatic pain
• Less excessive pregnancy weight gain
• Better mood
• Improvements in strength, sleep, energy, physical activity + psychological well-being

That’s a pretty good list of reasons to go work out even when I’d MUCH rather go take a nap or watch a movie.

Now, for some important caveats:

Always talk with your healthcare provider about what is appropriate for YOUR pregnancy. While this research supports exercise for women with healthy pregnancies, it doesn’t mean every exercise program is appropriate for every person, especially if you have preexisting conditions or pregnancy-related contraindications. The studies included structured programs, often combining strength training and aerobic exercise supervised by a coach or therapist.

I am going to be so real… finding out I am pregnant despite having both an IUD (which, this time, had become displaced) and a second birth control has been a lot to process. It’s been a complicated situation with complicated feelings.
On one hand, I know this baby will be loved just as much as Koda, and I am grateful that growing our family has come easily (to say the least). I never want to take that for granted because I know that isn’t everyone’s experience.
However, I’d be lying if I said that not having more control over such a big, life-changing event hasn’t been hard, lonely, and frustrating.
People keep telling me, “It will be fine! You’ll figure it out.” and I know that. Eventually, I’ll look back and say I wouldn’t change a thing. This isn’t the first hard thing I’ve gone through!
However, what those people also don’t see or have to experience is the path and journey it takes to make it “okay” in the end. They don’t know what it’s like to push through studying for huge tests when you’re in the pits of morning sickness and you just want to go back to bed. They don’t see the stress of trying to figure out insurance, finances, and medical care when this wasn’t the plan. They don’t see how hard pregnancy and postpartum can be on your body when you just weren’t ready to go through it again yet physically or mentally.
The reason I’m sharing all of this is because one of my favorite parts of social media is that there are people I’ve never met and who have no idea who I am, but because they shared their stories, I was inspired to do things I never would have thought were possible before finding their accounts.
I hope that by sharing my own journey I can help just one woman or mom feel a little more capable and a little less alone in believing she can balance family life, chase her dreams, and strive for lifelong fitness.
If you’re walking through a similar situation that feels out of your control, I hope you know you’re not alone. I don’t have everything figured out, but we can figure it out together.
