Fitness, Nutrition, & Morning Sickness

So I'm just going to be honest....

The last week, I haven't even felt good enough to write my post about my fitness goals for the rest of my first trimester.  Scratch that.  I haven't even felt good enough to THINK about them.  Which stinks, because I'm a FITNESS COACH, and I feel like I'm totally failing at my JOB this week!

So, I could sit around and be depressed about that (not gonna lie...I was tempted to do that earlier today), or I could pick myself up, think about what I have done well, and keep working to stay strong and healthy!

So, what have I done well?

--WATER makes me NAUSEOUS.  So.  Very.  Nauseous.  And that's at best.  BUT...I know I need to be well hydrated, and I DO NOT want to drink sodas and gatorades all day long, so I have done my best to drink as much as possible. And honestly, I've done OK.  Baby and I are fairly-well hydrated and that's what's important.

--I've been trying to stay as active as I can handle.  Today, I did a full workout....yesterday I felt so sick, but I walked a good bit and got a lot of chores done!  That's much better than lying around all day!

But now...I do need to make SOME fitness goals...I'm just going to make them for the next week and then re-evaluate how I'm feeling...so...

WEEK 10 FITNESS GOALS

Work out for at least ten minutes daily

Drink as much water as I can handle daily

Try to eat at least two servings of veggies daily (I usually shoot for 5)

Am I enough?

       “Am I enough?”   This question plagues my day to day.   Every time I take on some new and daunting task, a series of questions that all come back to this plague my mind.   If I let it, the fear paralyzes me and I stop.   I never move any further.   I have to be willing to accept that I alone am not enough.   It is only then that I am able to move forward.   You see, for me, the truth is ingrained in my faith—I alone am not enough.   I can only get through the (at times seemingly absurd) tasks I have been called to if I trust in Christ to carry me through them.   2nd Corinthians 12: 9-10 tells us "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

My Happiness Project

As I sit here reading "The Happiness Project," I am so overwhelmed by just how much I needed this book. Have any of you read this book?! What did you think of it? Posted by Allison Valree Federico on  Tuesday, November 1, 2016 When I sat down to begin reading, I heard the kids playing upstairs...and I was worried about it.... "What is my son getting into now?" (It's always, always always something!) "Are they going to get hurt?" "What if a neighbor stops by and realizes that I'm letting my kids play without helicoptering them? What will she think?" But the truth of the matter is, she is almost 5 and he is 2, and really they can play alone for 10 minutes while I read, and (as long as they don't burn the house down), most messes will be cleanable.... But the point is, I started out with the wrong mindset to begin! Just 5 minutes into my reading, I already see that! My kids are LAUGHING. And having FUN tog...
