This week seems to be the week of out of control hormones!!! I have been in tears at the drop of a hat and it would be fair to say "slightly paranoid" all week. You know that feeling where you wonder about all comments people make and wonder what they really meant by that. Needless to say it has ben a bit of a rollercoaster week and my poor hubbie has had to duck for cover on many occaisions! Thankfully he is very understanding and even though it makes no sense to him at all, he is being very tolerant of the joys of pregnancy hormones. This morning was no exception as I became teary and distressed after gettign on the scales. Even though I have been worried as my weight had stayed the same for 5 weeks I decided this morning that the increase in kg's meant I was a blob. Ray tried to point out that I was being irrational....which I thought was a particularly bold statement to make to a pregnant woman at 4:45am on a Sunday morning and I got into the car to head off to the striders star not quite convinced. I will also admit to feeling a little jealous this morning, as I love the Berrowra run and felt a little green at Ray being able to run off into the bush. So I headed out on my own with the 15km option map to go for a walk. It was just what I needed!!! The bush was spectacular...it was all misty and cold form the rain and the birds were all going crazy. It took about 5 mins for my mood to lift and all the stupid worries to disapear. I felt full of energy and on top of the world as I walked through the bush on my own listening to Opera on the i-pod. I was going to do the short cut and walk about 10km but I felt so good I ended up walking 15.5km in 2:45mins. I loved every minute of the walk and put all my worries completely out of my mind. I felt great today and managed all the monster hills with out too much drama.....and let me tell you there are HEAPS of huge hills in this course!!! I finished about 15 mins before Ray got back from running 30km....also with a huge grin on his face :-)
The rest of the week was pretty usual....walked to and from work monday to thursday and headed to the gym. On Friday I took mum to the bay and we walked a lap of the bay and then on Saturday I met the girls and did the 9km lap of the bay and then had a yummy breaky at Bowen Island.....mmmmm fruit toast. Ray ran and then met us half way and walked the rest of the way. So it has been a great long weekend with a few hormonal moments thrown in just to keep us all guessing!!
So I am hoping to keep the hormones in check this week. Hahaha I am not sure how I will go but no harm trying ;-)

Should I meet you I promise not to drop a hat.
Ha ha, why do you think all Clairie's friends are getting out of town ;-)
Jeez...I don't even have pregnancy as an excuse for paranoia! I'm always wondering "what did they mean by that?" and thinking "he/she hates me!" Luckily I'm good at telling myself to get over it!
The walk sounds like just the thing...good thinking.
geez louise kate, there is a reason you are not putting on weight.... you need to give yourself a break and enjoy it all.
bs
Those hormone thingies have a lot to answer for. You'll soon be back to your normal fit self once the baby is out and about :)
Take care of both of you!
