So, after two months of ridiculous morning sickness and never-ending viruses, I am back in the land of the living. I hope I am here to stay! My eating habits have become horrendous, but what can I say...I am ruled by my pregnancy taste buds and persistent nausea. Basically, I eat whatever I CAN eat at any given moment. And unfortunately, I have been craving the worst possible things. Namely, hot dogs, among other things.
As far as exercise, I had made a goal to work out through my entire pregnancy, but alas, illness was NOT in my plans. In the past two months, I have been to Curves only twice. Definitely not worth my $39/month membership. :( But I am officially in my second trimester and seem to be past the worst part of all of this. Now the hard part is overcoming the severe lethargy that set in these last few weeks. Where will I find the energy? Luckily, I told my husband of my plans to go back to Curves tonight. Around 4:30, I started to chicken out as I lay on the couch feeling so tired I wanted to die. I called him at 5:15, hoping he wasn't rushing home from work yet so I could tell him not to worry about it. But, he was already on his way and told me that I needed to make myself get up, get ready, and GO! So I did. I went in, did the 30 minute circuit, and took it really easy. It was still hard after doing nothing for a whole month. But as long as I keep it up at least three times a week, my body will get used to it again. Here's hoping this trimester will be 1000 times better than the first one!
