I even get it on the opposite end of the spectrum--I don't want kids and many of my friends, including my own mother, tell me I will either change my mind or that I need to change my mind. Then they passively imply that there must be something wrong with me to make such a decision. I think what goes on between a woman's legs is her own business whether she's pregnant or not. The women who are 8-months pregnant and have gained 70 pounds have enough to worry about without projecting their jealousy on you. You're right, it would do them some good to take a walk.Sandy O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09147110933142551335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067762763034987785.post-733094737581524582013-03-22T06:55:20.720-07:002013-03-22T06:55:20.720-07:00People looked at me like I had 3 heads when I was ...People looked at me like I had 3 heads when I was working out hard at 7 months pregnant, but I always just said, I listen to my body and when I feel tired or something doesn't feel right, I stop doing that exercise. Don't let others tell you you shouldn't work out hard if, like you, have already been doing that. Don't get me wrong, if you haven't been working out, getting started on a hard core workout when you get pregnant is not a good idea. But I worked out everyday up until I went to the hospital with both pregnancies and I had a very quick recovery. Good Luck :)<br />PS - Running does get hard at the end so I switched to drills, biking and swimming.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903503678775177717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067762763034987785.post-64659920381712514222013-03-22T04:57:44.111-07:002013-03-22T04:57:44.111-07:00People constantly project their own fears on us.

People are naturally curious about your life and plans. It can drive you nuts if you allow it. When it comes to our biological clock, a very personal time line, it seems that people speak without thinking about how much you might be affected by all the questions. Worry is wasted energy both on their part and on yours. Find ways to switch up the conversations with short answers and follow up questions about their life. As for training, your body will tell you everything you need to know if you can find the quiet time to listen to it. Add patience and compassion to your training. If your intentions always come from a pure place, there is no reason to worry. Chin up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247971156671335521noreply@blogger.com
