Geez, just getting better now
Well it has almost been 2 weeks since I got this virus and I have been very ill, probably due to being pregnant aswell and not being able to take much for it. This is the worst I have ever been. Started out like a very bad flu, then turned into very bad stomach pains, I ended up at King Edward thinking I was going into early labour, then from there very bad nausea and vomiting. Luckily they were able to give me anti-nausea tablets yesterday and it has all calmed down. I woke up this morning and so far feel much better. I still have a very runny, blocked nose and lots of phlegm but hey that is the least of my worries. I had 2 bowls of cereal for brekky this morning, I couldn't help myself as I have not eaten much the last 3 days. Hopefully this means I am on the road to recovery and won't relapse. I did feel a little better on Monday and Tuesday and went to work but then relapsed. So I haven't done much exercise the last 2 weeks. I am very tempted to go today but I think I will take the weekend to do some more recovery and start back on Monday just to be sure.
Good luck to all the girls who are competing this weekend in Melbourne. Can't wait to find out the results.
Em, please say Hi to Meggie for me I haven't heard from her in a while!!
Not much else to report.
I have been so sick...........
OMG, Tuesday night came down with a cold and throat infection. I have not been to work for 3 days. Being pregnant there is not much you can do about it and it just got worse and worse. I was in tears and trying to do everything to relieve my poor throat, I think I was ready to chop my head off. Hubby had a mild case of it to, but nothing like me at least he could take nuofren. I haven't been able to sleep and haven't been eating the best either. Baby seems to be 'extra' hungry these past 3 days and my stomach has been constantly hungry. Not to mention the no exercise due to trying to recover and eating icecream in an attempt to soothe this throat. Last night it just came to a peak, I had gargled with salt, eaten stepsils and was at my wits end all night. Finally I gargled on some listerine which tempoarily relieved it and I was able to sleep. It seems this may have helped as I have woken up slightly better, still really sore but not where it was so hopefully it is starting to get better. I am going to go for a walk and again be a couch potato for the rest of the day. Won't be getting back into the gym until Monday next week. My health and baby are far more important.
On another note we are going to buy some paint for the nursery and hopefully paint it on Sunday, then I can start getting items into drawers and hung up instead of being in bags in the corner of the room.
Off to the gym
Off to the gym to do biceps/triceps and back. I didn't manage to go yesterday as I came down with a cold and even left work early on Friday. I have been suffering major depression this week and it all came to a head on Friday (the pregnancy hormones have overridden the happy hormones) I know this is usual, I have spoken to many people in the same position, I just thought me being me would be able to control it but I haven't. I have been horrible to my husband and people have been really pissing me off. On a brighter note I have woken up this morning ready for a workout and I do feel much better (must have been the pizza night last night with my other pregnant girlfriend who is feeling the same) I think it did me the world of good to have a good chat. So since being pregnant I have only missed 3 training session which isn't bad at all!! (I do feel guilty for the pizza but hey extra fat really won't be noticed on my increasinly growing body, it just gets big anyway!!)
Wish I went to the comp yesterday, but like I said mentally I wasn't up for it and I didn't want to be a grump, instead I went to target and bought some baby vests. I'm nearly 6 months along now and hubby turned to me the other night I told me I ought to start thinking about packing my bag. No this can wait a bit longer I think, besides I don't really have anything to take with me. I'm certainly not taking a nightie, I don't own one and I'm not going to buy one, they can just put up with me wearing short shorts and a singlet!!
Best be off to the gym before I get to comfy.
Congratulations Kirsty and Sam!
I had a craving
After me going on about how I haven't had any pregnancy cravings I had a huge craving for Hungry Jacks (which i don't even like!). I think this could have been due to me undereating yesterday and eating very well. For brekky I had oats with berries, lunch was a zucchini and onion omelette with salad. Arvo tea was some toast with peanut butter and dinner was tuna and salad. I think because I am pregnant that this may not have been enough for bubs and hence the craving. It is so difficult because you want to eat so well but there is this fine line of eating well and what the baby needs................more carbs, and my brain is trained not to eat these (don't worry I have been but I have my days where I don't and then this happens) so instead of rushing out and buying an HJ's meal which I knew I would regret I settled for 1 slice of pizza with my dinner and that did it.
I went for my powerwalk yesterday and I am just eating my brekky of Allbran and prunes before I head to the gym for a cardio session. I had my scan before I left to go on holiday and all is looking good. I know what we are having and am now in the process of trying to get the nursery sorted out. There is so much you need it is unbelievable and it is also strange putting somebody else before me, priorities have definatley changed. Anyway I go to my next hospital appointment next Monday and am intrigued what the doctor will say after my scan results. According to the results my baby is bigger than average which is fantastic because I would worry if it wasn't (must be all the fruit and veg I eat!! not junk!). This is actually quite scary for me, although I have put on weight since being pregnant, I am not a big girl!! The whole birthing thing is just way to scary to think about!!
Best be off to the gym now before I change my mind!!
