Yawn, yawn, yawn!!!!!
Let's face it, I'm a 9 hours of sleep a night gal (don't laugh), always have been! I'll take 8 hours if I must and on weekends I've been known to sleep for 10.
Well, I have not been sleeping well lately. Getting up to pee in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, occasionally feeling naseous in the wee hours of the morn. Not my idea of a good time. I'm pretty sure this interrupted sleep I've been getting is just my bodies way of getting me used to waking up multiple times a night and not getting used to my pampered princess 9 hours of slumber!
I tells ya, the gym is also not a priority now that I'm back at work and feeling tired every day. It is honestly the last thing I feel like doing. I came home from work today, did a pile of marking (oh, the joys of teaching!) and now I'm just having a little 'me' time on the net. Do I feel like getting changed into my gym clothes, driving to the gym and running on the treadmill.. or even heading outside for a little jog?
Um, can we say NO WAY! I know I'm going to have to continue with my exercise as I don't want to gain too much weight (12k-15kg is the goal) with this pregnancy, because I've heard how hard it is to get back into shape. Oh well, I'll just continue to eating mostly healthy food and getting a bit of a workout in a couple of times a week.
If anyone has any tips, please feel free to share!
It will get better. Well, it will get worse first, but it's all worth it. As far as weight gain... I am no inspiration but more like a cautionary tail - ate healthy but more than I needed, didn't exercised and gained 50lbs with each child. Losing it is no picnic and I hope you have more will power than I :)
