Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

Dear Body

I am so glad that you decided to let me get up today. I don't feel as weak and nauseated. Thanks. It's hard. I find myself wishing to just have my life back. Everyone says it will be worth it. I'm not sure anything is worth being sick all the time. Throwing up is never wonderful. But you haven't had me doing that too often.

I just hope this passes soon. Thanks for the better day.

    I think it's hilarious when people say "It'll be worth it! Really!" I mean, it makes sense when you have a choice in the matter -- When I'm working out and think I'm going to die and my friend says "It'll be worth it! Keep going!" that's just fine -- But you dont' really have a choice about nausea.

    I spent both pregnancies wishing I could just get my body and life back from the weird alien who invaded it. And wondering why I couldn't just lay an egg and sit on it for 9 months. "At least then I wouldn't be nauseous!" I'd say.

    Have you tried the hard candy I put in the bag with the clothes?

    We'll be down this week and I'll take you out for Jamba. And I'll stock your freezer with pre-made smoothie stuff. I wish we were closer.

    I'm guessing this isn't a 'work out sick' you've been feeling. Congrats! :)
