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,

Okay, I know that I have been lax on my discipline with you. You have gotten what you wanted to eat when you want it, and you have slept when you wanted. I know that there is a tiny little parasite growing inside, but it will be gone sooner than you think. I know you are uncomfortable, you are ALWAYS running to the bathroom, REALLY hungry most of the time, BUT that doesn't mean you need to lash out when I do try to get you doing healthy things.

Eating nutrient rich foods is good for you.

Exercise is good for you and can make the excretion of the parasite easier.

Please let me do these two things for you. Please give me back the use of the neck. Please let me take care of you. It will help with recovery when the parasite has left.

Loves,
Phannie

It Has Begun Again

The Biggest Loser started again this week. I wasn't so impressed last season with all of the selfish players and backbiting. But this year looks so much more promising.

I cry during this show anyway, but being pregnant and the stories that come along with this seasons players is brutal on my tear ducts. I thought I was going to run out of tears.

Anyway, I'm really excited about this season. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Stupid Flu Shot

I spent the whole day on my back with chills and being soooo tired. All I did was get a flu shot on Wednesday. I guess it's supposed to be a good thing, it will probably help protect me (if they chose the right strain of flu this year). But I sure don't like days that have me feeling crappy.

So, far I feel better today. Back to exercising my body. I should do yoga today. What do you think?

Hi, my name is Phannie. I was a couch potato. This is my first day on my journey to recovery.

I have eaten.
Turned off the TV.
Been cleaning.
Exercised (power 90 cardio intervals).
Reading.
I will study new things.
I will find more joy in life.
There will be good habits formed when the baby comes.

Promise!

NO Motivation

I get up in the morning and want to Run. Half way through the day I want to do p90x. I feel so lazy. I want to eat better. But all I seem to do is quilt and read and watch movies. These things are all things that I enjoy, but I just can't find the motivation to get out on my own and do the things that I love. I know I will do them later when I'm not pregnant, but why can't it be now? I just don't understand myself sometimes.

My Favorite Breakfast




This is my FAVORITE breakfast, especially since I'm pregnant. I love it. What could be better than Hashbrowns, eggs, and turkey bacon? NOTHING.

YUMMMMMM!
