I admire my pregnant friend

When I was pregnant last year, I remember how sickly and weak I was. After going through some very had morning sickness (all-day sickness, actually!) for half the pregnancy duration, I found myself rather immobile most of the time. By the time I was able to eat properly and not feel sick, I was already quite heavily pregnant. I didn't do any form of exercises although many people advised me to.

Now, a friend of mine is halfway through her pregnancy and she's one strong woman. She's actively going to the gym under the care of her personal trainer, taking the LRT and choosing to stand than to sit down, doing lots of walking (read as shopping!) and is also taking lots of vacations. Her next destination is to an island and she's been bugging me to go shopping with her to find a swimsuit.

I really admire her energy level and how determined she is to work out. All I did when I was at her stage was eat, watch tv and sleep!
