Since having my baby girl, I've noticed that I push myself further. For instance, I felt really nauseaus last night and threw up. Not sure why, but I think it could have been something that I ate....no, I'm not pregnant :)
Before the baby, I would have stayed in bed the next morning trying to recover from what ailment that I may or may not have. Granted, I felt much better in the morning. But because I can't stay in bed to rest with the baby, she makes me a stronger person. If it weren't were her, I wouldn't know how capable I really am - even with my anxiety. I still go through my day with precaution, because I don't want to push too hard that I relapse or hurt myself. I listen to my body and take breaks if necessary. But it's important to take baby steps to challenge yourself - and go at the pace that you are comfortable with - not the pace someone else may think you should be going.
