Still Hanging On

I have been getting more exercise than I was. Not every day. I'm becoming more frequently out of breath, but resting and then continuing on is what I do. I've been using my Christmas Shopping outings as my cardio exercise. And the bags I bring in are my weight training sessions. (Costco helps with this one a whole lot) Cleaning the house has kept me moving.

I think I've been getting heart burn a whole lot. Anyone else get that? I wake up with it and it doesn't go away, EVER.

What did you do when you were pregnant and you had heart burn?
Any foods that helped? Any to stay away from?

And Again.

So, I worked out once a couple of weeks ago.

Last week, I worked out twice. It's an improvement.

This week, the GOAL: to work out three times. This might be a challenge because of Thanksgiving and the family activities, but I can do it.

I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.

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.
