Hello, all. I'm not brand-new to the Rebellion, but I'm recommitting today for the coming year. I am 31, and hoping to have my first child in the next few years (I'm not trying now, as I'm teaching abroad in Japan, but will probably start next year or a year and a half from now). For those of you who were into fitness before and during pregnancies, what kind of goals did you set for yourself? i want to be in the best place physically ( my doctor is already giving me the "older first-time mother" rigamorole) for the challenge of being a healthy mum throughout the whole process. If you were given a year to prepare for your first kid again, what goals would you set for yourself? BTW - I am a pescetarian living in Japan, with limited Japanese skills. I tried in America to eschew additives, but it's difficult to be very label-conscious with limited reading skills.

Hey all. I just discovered Nerdfitness Academy and am tempted to try it, almost entirely for the quests/leveling up part of the package, but the thing is that I'm in the middle of IVF (first transfer is tomorrow!) so I'm not sure if I can be starting anything right now. Anyone experienced this and have advice about starting a new exercise routine when doing IVF, or while pregnant or trying to conceive? Any other info would be appreciated too: For example, are the quests in the academy the same for men and women? I'd like to get an idea of what I'm looking at before I commit. Thanks!
