Be aware

Dear future mom :)
As a child expecting woman I would like to present something that concerns me about.  Many people believe that physical exercises can be dangerous both for mother and child. Some say you can't even move your body too much. To tell the truth, I thought similarly at the beggining of the pregnancy. Fortunately, it took me little time. At the start, my wellbeing wasn't so good, and I had other things on my mind. After that, first symptoms went by and I felt better. I realized the importance of activity. As a matter of fact, I was missing physical activity. I used to do exercise, be fit, go jogging before my state. I decided to keep fit and found a wonderful place, where exercises for pregnant women are taking place. I started to attend exercises and I can't imagine not to be active any more. Provided that everything is fine and your doctor lets you to do some sport for pregnant women - just do it! :) It will probably be gymnastics, yoga, pilates or swimming pool, that is possible to be carried out. My place offers amazing composite of fitness, yoga, pilates and breathing exercises. This is the great composition to prepare women to giving birth. Although it is important to be active, it can not be allowed to every future mother. There are some cases in which health condition is not good. Then it's better to be careful.
Keeping fit is not only the one way to stay healthy. Proper eating habits are as significant as physical activities. Doing a fit programme in my place I discovered how vital diet is. There are some guidelines you should respect. Every pregnant woman needs proper dose of some products like milk, meat, fish, cereal, fat, leguminous plants, fruits and vegetables. It is crucial to be well hydrated. Pregnant woman should drink 2-3 pints of sow-sodium mineral water. Pregnant's daily requirement is getting increasingly higher. In the second trimester of pregnancy woman needs to supply 360 calories more (in the third - 475 calories). It is needed to drink almost 1 l milk a day or eat four quantities of milk products, each containing 250 g. When it comes to meat, it is needed to supply 4-5 times a week. Fish can be eaten 2-3 times a week. Fat is also important. It can be 3 spoons of butter or olive oil a day you should supply. You need cereal products as well. It means you should eat 8 portions of cereal products a day. While you eat less meat you need to substitute it for leguminous plants 2-3 times a week. It may seem strange and rather terribly to obey those rules. However it is not so difficult to prepare all diet list and daily menu. It is even funny and we get sucked into it very fast. It's about our baby's health. We have to stay shape, mood and health either. That's why I wish you good luck and stay fit! :)

What am I thankful for?

I'm thankful. At least I try to be everyday. What does gratitude mean?
Gratitude is being grateful for something. There may be many things for which you are grateful or you could be grateful. I believe they are.
For me gratitude is being extremely joyful of what I have in my life. It means being aware of our existance and surroundings. This is also an expression of appreciation. Both my and your life are gifts. Life as a gift - this thought got through to me recently. Due to my state in which I'm expecting a little baby inside me I've started to think deeply. Since then, I clearly see how big miracle our life appears to be. It's an amazing fact which is unspeakable. I believe it's a gift from God. Likewise, my dear husband, my parents, people I met, I've known for years, every second in a day, my ideas, courage, forces, intentions, nature...I truly believe all those things are coming from God.

What are you grateful for?

Welcome to my blog - take a smile :)

Hello everyone! At the very beginning I'd like to invite all of you to visit my website. It will be a great pleasure to write for you. Althought It won't be easy for me to write It in English, I'll try. This will be an enormous challenge for me and that's what makes me smile :)

Why did I decice to write a blog in a foreign language, althouh I'm Polish?

I have studied English language a long time ago, after I quitted. There were many reasons for leaving that school. Essentially, English language was always beloved by me. Now my life looks completely different and I'm going about my daily life in an interesting way either. However, when It comes to letting you out, my desire is still learninig English. You would say - go to the language school or take some private lessons! I would say - I'd like to, but whether it gives me fluency in language or I just waste my money? I'm mad about conversations and this type of giving classes. Nonetheless, It's still expensive, especially when It comes to a real native!

Coming back to the topic, It's thanks to my sister I'm here writing this post. She speaks English very well and has life contact with the language almost everyday. Firstly I was sceptical to her idea. Then I got it straight. Dear friends, everyone! Don't waste both your time and money by spending It on semestral courses which won't give you an opportunity to use the language in everyday situations. The best way to learn a foreign language is to improve oneself, take advantage of It's wealth on one's own, absorb the knowledge. Don't panic, don't be affraid of doing mistakes. I'm doing them as well. I'm sorry about that, but I finally found the way to have everyday contact with the language. There are many ways to learn a language on your own. In my opinion, the most important thing is to switch thinking to another language. Basically, think in your new language. You can do it by reading books, watching tv in an appropriate language, listening to music and translate it's text. You need to create your new language world. Maybe some flash cards would be helpful. Organize your space in a comfortable way. Stick little sticky notes with new known words. Finally, talking is the manner. By talking I mean having a conversation with someone who knows the language at least at the same level. You can also write some documents. Maybe It could be a book or diary. You need to be active and use the language everyday. Believe me or not, it's not easy to start writing in foreign language but I treat this as a task, advantage, pleasure, withdrawal maybe...Although I'm just starting I'm keen on It and It makes me excited :) This could be excited for you too. Believe in yourself! 

So one more request - keep your fingers crossed for me!

Second request is about smiling :) I'd like to share a positive song which makes me smile. I think I'm smiling too little, so let's smile more :)

Oh, and one more thing :) Dear Natives, Friends and Readers, If you see any mistakes, let me know! :) I'm begginer in writing in English, so that I'm open to suggestions :) However, remember my point, I'd like to write about lots of things and share them with you. And It's not only about English :):) Maybe you've got some books, reading matters, coursebooks to recommend? Share your ideas!

Have a nice day all of you! I'll try to write another post as soon as possible.

Greetengs from Poland! :)
