Huge

Huge is how I felt on Sunday when I woke up. I have no idea when it happened, although I strongly suspect overnight. I just felt like I had grown exponentially all over. As I stood in church* my belly felt ginormous. I had some shortness of breath during the service and felt my feet and hands swelling again (thank you, Florida humidity). I ended up napping that day instead of working out - I think my body was telling me to slow down after a busy week of errands and work. I struggled during my cardio workout today - my mile on the elliptical has slowed 1-2 minutes - but I'm just happy I'm still active.

*In an earlier post, I had mentioned that we were on the hunt for a church. And of course, just as we were determined to start attending church regularly, the manager at my part-time job went on paternity leave and the assistant manager started scheduling me to open on Sundays. And then when I quit the part-time job, we were out of town and things were chaotic. So our Sunday schedule has finally settled down, although it is still hard for me to get up early after working the late shift on Saturday nights. The church we attended this week was nice enough, but the average age of those in attendance was rather high, and we're hoping to find a church with a significant population of people our age. We're going to try another church this weekend - the services are earlier but it is realllly close to the condo, so we'll see how it works out!
