This is a post about PMS. And how it can totally ruin my marriage.
Before I had Kaylin, I’d never been one to suffer from PMS symptoms like mood swings and irritability. I’d just get bloated and crampy, which were wonderful excuses to eat all the chocolate and/or ice cream I wanted.
Recently, however, I [...]
One of the best “side effects” from being pregnant is that I’ve really learned to listen to my body and take care of myself. It might sound terribly obvious to some but I never used to listen to my body the way I do now. It happened quite by accident.
During my first trimester, while [...]
The first time I went with hubby to the emergency room because he’d strained a back muscle playing basketball and couldn’t move – this is after he underwent surgery for a torn ankle ligament and subsequently sprained his other ankle several times – I tried to get the doctor to tell hubby basketball is [...]
1 hour 18 minutes. That’s how long it took me to run 10km. But I ran all the way, which I’ve never done before. And I even had enough left in me to sprint the last 200m, even though the effort nearly killed me. It’s a good thing I didn’t collapse in an embarrassing [...]
Despite the incessant gloom’s best efforts, we finally got one up on the rain and squeezed in a couple hours of tennis after work on Tuesday. Ace!
Okay, let’s be honest, this is Y’s new toy. It was his idea, he chose it, he bought it and now he’s using it. I just like knowing it’s in the next room and that I can use it whenever I like. If I ever like. Besides, according to Y’s calculations, this thing costs [...]
When I was young, my dad used to wake us up early every morning to run along the beach. He’d run and us kids would walk, dragging our feet and complaining about not getting to sleep in. Since this was only possible when we were on an island – Penang, usually – we didn’t [...]
I blog from the guest room, having been unceremoniously downgraded because hubby has taken ill with viral fever. The doctor says it could even be dengue or measles, the latter of which would mean hubby is contagious.
I feel as if I have a headache but I don’t know if it’s just my mind playing [...]
I’ve been wanting a massage since doing the 10km in December, but didn’t actually get round to it until last Friday. It was much-needed. Perhaps even I didn’t realise how much. You see, at the beginning of this year, I said I wanted to challenge myself. Even as I thought it, a little voice [...]
In line with my resolve to attempt to gym regularly, I did just that after work today with hubby and friends. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and, under the guidance of a personal trainer friend, attempted a body-solid leg press machine for the first time in my life (I had to Google [...]
