I am now offically in the third trimester or being pregnant.
That caused me to contemplate a LOT.
Since laying around in bed doesn't seem to be doing wonders for my appetite or keeping me from feeling sick or helping me actually get to sleep at night I decided to try something new.
*grins*
I concluded to actually listen to the doctor/nurse/pregnancy class teachers and be more active; thus my sister-in-law (Cynthia) and I came up with a work out plan. Today was the second day of carrying it out.
- 10 minutes of weights (mine are only five pounds but it is still is hard)
- 5 minutes on the stair machine
- Make 12 baskets in the gym
- Do a mile around the track (11 times around); walk 2, jog 1, walk 2, jog 1, walk 2, jog 1, run 1, walk 1. It is amazingly easy actually.
- Twice a week for this next part 5x around the resistance pool
- 6 Laps Swimming in the Lap Pool (1/2 mile)
In other news...Sunday was the Christmas play and it went very very well. Afterwards we went Christmas Caroling. Around 40 people actually went to the caroling part so that was cool. It almost made me cry...Nursing homes make me sad...for all those people who look so longingly at you when you smile at then or talk to them...
Yesterday I broke my not getting sick wave and was sick twice then and once today. I have not got around to getting the prescription the doctor ordered for me yet. This morning I put ginger powder in my cereal so we will see if that helps.
Well...I may add to this later but I have an awful lot to try and get done today; I am grossly behind on all my lists.
Have a wonderful days full of partridges and pear trees.
Update 1# Whohoo! Finally outsmarted facebook settings!!!!!!!!!! I hate it when the computer beats me in intelligence.
Also cleaned about a 4th of our room...that was enough for one day I concluded. For though just aching to know my diet today it is as follows:
- 1st Breakfest: Lucky Charms with Ginger Powder
- 2nd Breakfest Salad with Italian dressing and an orange.

Nursing homes make me sad too. Not just because I used to have to work in one. I think of all those people who end up there just because their kids don't want to deal with them. :( I'm not talking about the one whose health problems are severe enough that the kids have no other choice. Just the ones who are selfish enough that they don't want to interrupt their own live by having their parents live with them. It's just depressing. I'm sure that's why there were so many bitter, angry residents when I worked at Elm Crest. I enjoy caroling for them though. Most people seem to enjoy it so much.
