So I thought week 9 was challenging well week 10 made it look easy! After coming back from my little trip down to Adelaide I manged to bring back a nice cold with me as well.
Being pregnant and sick from morning to night isn’t nice especially with a cold thrown on top of it all. I’ve discovered you pretty much can’t take anything while you are pregnant, even though I most probably wouldn’t anyway. Also as your immune system is a bit low the colds just seem to linger on forever.
So another fun week for me, just going from the couch to computer and back to bed again, EXCITING STUFF!
FOOD: BAD! As I was sick I really didn’t feel like eating although I felt worse when I didn’t. I ended up just eating whatever I could whenever I could. I must say Ice-cream started to creep in a bit too much and I’m actually starting to crave my good old healthy foods although when I try to eat them they just taste revolting. My favourite baby spinach just tastes like some slimy green stuff that you really wouldn’t want to eat. Oh I can’t wait for my taste buds to come back to normal!
Also I’m getting a bit annoyed with the information overload and the general panic of what you can and can’t eat. This whole Listeria thing seems to be taken to the extreme and I don’t know if all the information ends up being that beneficial. For sure you need to be careful but where is the boundary between obsessed and just common sense!
MOOD: Feeling a bit down as i feel like I don’t leave the house much. Had to call in sick for flying again as I just couldn’t physically do it and I’m just SO BORING! I can’t describe how much I’m hanging out to feel human, just to be able to go out for a coffee and feel like a “normal” person would be fantastic.
TRAINING: WHAT’S THAT? Is training classified as having a shower and walking to the fridge to find something that I can eat?
Obviously I didn’t DO ANYTHING last week. I seem to get slacker and slacker by the week although I don’t feel one bit guilty as I just can’t. Don’t get me wrong I want to get out there and do things but right now I just struggle to function let alone go for a power walk or run. I’m so praying that things will start to ease up soon and I can get out there and start to do something.
PHYSICAL CHANGES: I’m just feeling a bit more solid! The lack of exercise and good food are taking its toll and I’m expanding. I seriously don’t know how people don’t exercise and eat like this all the time. I feel disgusting!
So week 10 was a bit of a struggle but I managed to survive it and Cam didn’t kill me. I think he actually felt sorry for me coughing and sneezing all the time on top of my usual nausea.
One week to go and it will be scan time, I can’t wait!!!
P.S sorry for the miserable post!
