No zumba
I seem to be surrounded by the Super fit here, although most the people I am friendly with are from the UK/Ireland, traditionally a sedantary race (forgive the generalisation), here we are in Calif and everyone turns out to be closet joggers. I mean they do it for fun. I did jog in my 20s when I was about 2 stone lighter but I didnt have children to fill my time and I did it mostly for that reason. It felt good at the time but I have to say, I didnt really enjoy it, I craved it on the days I missed due to circumstances that prevented me from my runs( I went about 3 times a week) but now I dont do it, I dont crave it. Anyhow, I have been talked into doing to Wharf to Wharf in July, and so far have done no training. I looked at the Couch to 10k app (for the ipod) but it just scared me. Then I find out yesterday that one girl (from Belfast) is running up to 7 miles in ONE GO - thats not like, a mile one day then a mile another day, for 7 days but 7 miles in one day!!!!! Holy Moly. Anyhoo, the way I am feeling these days means I am not even making zumba. :-( I am crippled with tired ness and sickness. I had to give away some flowers to a neighbour because the smell was making me sick. I cant eat the usual nonsense, have gone off coffee (which is a shame as *$ sent me a voucher for a free coffee for my birthday), and not even mad about tea, and considering I am a bit of a tea bag it speaks volumes. All I want is lovely bread, or crossants, smeared thick with butter, and fizzy water. And the reason for all this, well I think that should be clear now, child no.4. No. 4!!!!!! Are we crazy?! Yes I think so. But the impending 40s and the thought that no 3 might be the last really, kicked things into focus. And so, I am going thru the Miseries of the First Trimester. Which is a time that traditionally you dont tell folk THE CRACK, just in case things dont work out (fingers crossed) but I feel so awful, I feel I should give people a proper reason, rather than exaggerated tales of childrens late night shenanigans. Plus, another 'issue' on the horizon is that people want to visit around about the time No.4 is due, and we don't yet know the Actual Date, but think that it would be madness for us and them to visit, we wouldbnt be great hosts. But we havn't had many visitors as it so 'spensive to come over here, and its a cheap time for them. Anyhow, not a biggy, it will work out.
