A new leaf . . .

The past few weeks have found me feeling worse and worse everyday. I started getting headaches and couldn't eat much besides lunch . . .

Today, I woke up feeling not too bad. I ate a small breakfast and actually felt pretty good. I decided I had better capitalize on it, so I went to the gym for the first time a few weeks. It felt so good. I remember reading that blood sugar going down can make nausea worse, so I decided to bring a sports drink with me instead of water to keep some carbs going through me. I mean, I'm not trying to loose weight, so a few calories of drink won't make much of a dent. It felt really good! The drink started tasting too sweet, so I think next time I'll bring water with me as well.

I walked half a mile at a good pace, then ran a full mile without stopping, followed by another half mile. I was going to run one more, but I got called into the Kids Club to change Simeon's poopy diaper, and he didn't want to stay. While one mile of running usually isn't too exciting for me, having gone so long without running and being pregnant means it was awesome. I do have to run much slower than before, but it feels good to be moving again. And I still feel quite good. I hoping *knock on wood* that this is the beginning of the wonderful 2nd trimester, which will bring much more exercise and enjoyment than the first. :)
