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.

I thought I was supposed to be Constipated!

So, I'm not. I thought I was supposed to be when pregnant. Especially nearing the third trimester.

Does anyone know any foods that plug up this problem? I just don't feel like taking any medications.


************************************************************************************

I'm trying to get motivated. Two years ago I got myself off my fat ass and lost all the weight I have currently put back on. (ya ya I know, I'm supposed to. blah blah blah) I'm just not able to motivate myself to get out of the house to go walking or do yoga, or swimming, or anything else that would be healthy for baby.

I had a goal to be that pregnant woman who ran past me in the 5K Freedom Run in 2008. I have NOT kept up my running and can probably not just begin now.

What motivated you to get out while you were pregnant? What motivates you even if you're not?

Sorry. My ranting is over. Frustration with my lack of excitement is just getting to me.

    A few years ago I got my fat Ass off the couch and started running and doing Pilates and lost weight. I looked good, felt great and thought I would never go back to what I was before. Well, guess what, I'm back to almost what I was. I lost my motivation to keep running. I have been trying to get myself motivated again. its hard when you have life taking over, have moved to a smaller place and have little room for anything.

    My hubby, finally pulled the treadmill into the house today after 3 months in storage(from the move). I am not going to be the fat girl anymore. I hate looking like I do, hate feeling like I do, and want to change. maybe this is my motivation, maybe you are my motivation!

    Steph, you are beautiful no matter what size or shape you are!

    Um.. I didn't know you were supposed to be constipated. many people are. I think for me it came more towards the end of the third trimester, and even then it was not all the time. i would only worry if your the opposite all the time.

    If you really wanted to start running I know you can, but it has to be slow...maybe I should call it jogging. And you might need a belly support.anyway You would have to work yourself into it. Plus I think you look great for how far along you are. Don't be so hard on yourself. I know a lot of great sites. I really liked www.babyfit.com. it was fun to see what you could do, loads of articles, and message borads of people.
