Yesterday was a huge day of painting. Of course, it is only one of many the kitchen will need. It wore me out. So today I'm taking it much slower. I've been looking at some properties in Austin, TX. It's just a silly distraction I'm sure, but you never know. I've listened to the news. Now I'm going to finish preparing my primary lesson and read my patriarchal blessing.
Then I want to go on a big walk and start to build up my strength and endurance for labor. I've been so bad this pregnancy: eating too much, exercising too little. But I can and will turn this around. From now on I will keep my promise to Heavenly Father not to eat sweets and chocolate, not in any amount. I've slacked off the last few months. Also I will limit my calories to a healthy 1400. I will make careful choices. I will exercise 45-60 minutes a day and build up to 3 hours of walking/hiking. I will build up to wogging a 5K and run a 5K twice a week until the baby is born. I will get down to 135 healthy pounds by the time I deliver. This will help me sleep better, breathe better, and function better all around. It will help insure the baby's health as well. It will also help me be strong for future pregnancies and life in general. This means lots of raw food, breathing and relaxing, and exercise. Wonderful! I'm so grateful for the challenges of caring for our physical bodies. I know Heavenly Father has and will help me as I stretch and discipline myself.
