I DID IT!

I exercised today! It felt wonderful. I worked my legs and arms. Basically everything around the mid-section. I feel good.

I WILL do it again tomorrow.

You know your body hates you when. . .

...you start dreaming about running and you have Bob and Jillian there screaming at you the whole way up the hill.

Where Do I find. . . .????

Does anyone know where to find a belly support? I don't know where to get one. I can't walk (or even think about jogging) without one.

HELP.

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.

Sickness Lurking Around

It is officially what my body has to deal with. I have to be sick while pregnant. I have now had the flu TWICE, a head cold TWICE (this always follows the flu), AND I received the Flu Shot this year. I just don't get it.

This is my first pregnancy and I just can't help but be nervous about the sickness. I don't want baby to be sick if I'm sick. Is the baby sick when I'm sick? I don't want the medication to affect the baby. (I don't like to take medication very often anyway) I would go a week with a headache, just to let my body try to fix it itself. (I did do this once) I'm nervous about a healthy baby. My hubby just says that children are resilient and our baby will be just fine.

I hope so.

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.
