I've had great energy overall so far, but today I'm just wiped out. My H wants to do lunch after we drop S off at preschool, so I really need to pull myself together and get ready.

Morning loves, I started my new position on the 8th so I've been busy trying to train. Sorry to be MIA! Layla has been super difficult lately and Tim is currently laid off so life has been less than ideal. Tim really sucks at being stuck at home. He gets so moody and can be such a butt head. I took a pregnancy test this morning... BFN  but it's still early so we will see. snoopmommymom that convo sounds so interesting!! I kinda want to talk to one too, just to see. Like wedding H, Tim would definitely poo poo it. Luckily your H is interested and supportive. xolastunicornxo, FX that baby comes soon! stripping membranes is one thing in pregnancy that always makes me cringe to think about lol. peachsmama, hope he feels better soon! |

Sunny41 a high bun should be possible, maybe take him to a barber or something and they can show you how to do some cute styles!

Aww I love the longer hair on boys! Colin has become interested in growing his out, so this weekend the barber cleaned up the sides and back, but left some length on top (still no where near enough to put up). Fortunately everyone is on the same page as far as letting him take the lead.

Hi! Sitting in the parking lot waiting for school to let out, they’re dismissing a half hour early because of the snow. I’m just grateful he went!
C had her orthopedist appt today and they did follow-up X-rays. They confirmed that her tibia had been fractured, but it’s healed now so we can ditch the boot. Woohoo!

Stupid DC called to remind me tuition is due. Don't they know their name on the caller ID gives mothers anxiety. I thought something had happened to Cadence. And I already knew about tuition they already sent like 3 messages about it, a phone call was not necessary. Geez.

Morning ladies. Fingers crossed it was just too early to test mskatiep. cagoldi, chrisy01, tgrimes I'm going to be at Disneyland 29JAN-02FEB. If there's a possibility to meet up that would be great. I've got reservations for the Rain Forest Café Monday afternoon at 1:30. That night we're having dinner at Goofy's Kitchen. I think at 6:30? Monday we're not going in the parks but walking around Downtown Disney/relaxing at the hotel. |

Last night I managed to go through all of Cass' clothes. They are all organized now and I snuck out all of the too small stuff. Bye most of her footy jammies.  It felt good to tackle that. Maddie is tonight. I was shocked and MH cleaned out our closet. His crap has been sitting in a giant mound and it's finally neatly organized in bins. It's slow at work so I'm trying to get a start on another take home test that is a bear so I need to break it up. |

Sunny41 I don’t do anything to his hair.... He won’t let me 👎🏼 I’ll probably get it cut soon. I’ve been putting it off. We are going to look at some houses today.... this market is crazy. If something good pops up in our price range it’s gone within days.... it’s so frustrating.

We are stuck at home again. Hoping the ice on the roads melts soon so I can at least get out and go to the gym and grab a couple of things at the store.
If anything is even open

I hope everyone feels better today! Nothing much here today. I've decided I need to look into weight watchers or something. I need to get myself motivated and in gear because all my clothes are getting too tight and I'm uncomfortable. I'm going to research it today and see if it's something I think I could stick with. I'm sure the bag of candy I bought yesterday to keep on my desk isn't helping. I've been wanting to give Noom a try. I was going to start at the new year, but now that's on hold until the babe arrives. I was doing it when I got pregnant and thought it was good. I've done WW in the past and liked it a lot but I'm sure the program has changed since then. |

I'm sure the bag of candy I bought yesterday to keep on my desk isn't helping. They recently updated WW to Freestyle. It seems intimidating at first, at least it did with the switch, because it is less points. But fruit, veggies, beans, eggs, chicken breasts, and fat-free yogurt are all 0pts in an effort to promote better eating lifestyle. But mostly i think any program where you track intake will help with weight loss. I'm doing WW online only and the app is pretty easy to use. See, this would never work for me. I like that they're doing more of a Whole Foods approach because before they had all this processed junk that was lower points, but I can't lose weight if I don't have a way to monitor portions. And at the end of the day, counting points IS counting calories. |

I've been back twice since, and I've hated the program changes. |

At the airport. Flight is delayed a half an hour but we should have started boarding at the delayed time two minutes ago but our plane hasn't pulled up to the gate yet. I hate the end of trips because you're just dying to get home! Plus I ate bad and my stomach hates me and (TMI warning) my butt hurts. I need hemmie meds stat😞

I think that has been a comment a lot of people have made since the change. That they have gained weight. I mean all things moderation even if it's 0pts. But I think people avoid the healthy foods (like beans and eggs) for something else of similar points and overall the lifestyle change is what they are aiming for. But without tracking I haven't lost much and have binged on carbs |

I think it's like MFP but with groups and daily tasks. I only gathered this from the thread on healthy living. |

Yeah people on their forums are like you can't get fat eating fruits and veggies. LOL BET ME If you swap watermelon for chips, sure, that's great! But if you mostly only eat fruits, veggies, and beans then I need a mechanism for tracking that, you know? It takes 595 grams of carbs/day in order for them to convert to fat through du novo lipogenesis. I can get to that somewhat easily if I eat certain fruits all day to the exclusion of everything else. |

I couldn't imagine having to do Cs hair everyday if it was long. It's a rare occasion he lets me out gel in it so usually it looks like a bad bowl cut.

I never used MFP but it's an app and you have daily tasks and they put you in a group, mostly for encouragement. You track your food and there are red, yellow, and green groups for everything. Spinach and berries are green, Potatoes would be yellow, chocolate would be red, for instance. Green - eat all you want within calories Yellow - moderate portions Red - use sparingly You track your exercise, too. |
