Ok, so I've been out of the gym for over 3 months, after competing in figure comps for the last 4 years. I'm currently 5 months pregnant and just getting back to the gym. Obviously my workouts are not what they used to be. I had extreme morning sickness earlier on and just could not go. Now I'm feeling somewhat better and decided it was time to get my butt back in the gym. I feel like I've lost all of my strength and muscle that I've worked so hard for the past few years. What should I be doing now to build or maintain what I have left? And how fast will it come back after the baby when I'm finally able to get back to some real workouts? At this point, I feel like I'm starting all over and I can't really push myself much being 5 months pregnant. Help?
As a side note, I'm not able to eat 100% clean either. I'm still having food aversions and some sickness, and I just can't do the clean diet like I was used to doing. I still eat way more healthy that a "normal" person, but that may not be saying much!
