Health Group- Year 5, week… who knows?

And I’m not even going to count because I don’t know if it’s going to be a weekly thing again or not. I’ve felt rotten, so Health Group hasn’t even been on my mind.

However, I think I’m solidifying the fact that dairy makes me sick. I’m so incredibly not happy about that. I haven’t figured out if it’s lactose or just dairy. I haven’t been avoiding things with whey in them, but it’s pretty clear that milk, cheese, sour cream, and butter (most likely), are upsetting me. I feel like throwing a tantrum, truth be told. In the words of Prince John from Disney’s Robin Hood, “it’s so miserably unfair!”

I love cheese.

That aside, I did manage to exercise 2 days this week. 30 minutes on the elliptical each time. I’m able to keep up my pre-pregnancy speed, but I don’t increase resistance anymore. It actually feels good to exercise, but I’m never in the mood to do it. The only reason I did it this week is 1., I thought I might actually be able to, and 2., my sister-in-law came over to exercise with me. I’m so glad she did.

So, I’m going to try to make a habit of it. It’ll be an uphill effort each time I’m sure, but I’ll be better off if I do.

    I think I am in the same boat. For the last few months (about 6) I have been getting stomach cramps, gurgling, and well, I have had to run to the washroom! I did a little experiment. I ate the same stuff I did the day before, but I took DairyAid (a chewable tablet that you take whenever you eat dairy, 1-3 tablets each time). I didn’t get sick.
    *sigh*
    I love dairy.
    Oh, yeah, I just realized that may be TMI lol.

    Did dairy make you sick before this pregnancy? I sure hope it’s a temporary thing. While I don’t drink milk, I sure like dairy products! Life is not worth living if I cannot have cheese or ice cream. Or real whipped cream or yoghurt,,,you get the idea. Hope you feel better.
