I'm trying quite hard to not use pregnancy as an excuse to lapse into bad eating habits, but it is HARD. I never had any issue getting plenty of fruit and veg before, but most veg is turning my stomach at the moment. How has mankind evolved to be repulsed by the most healthy of foods at a time you would think good nutrition is critical!? Cheese and crackers and salty, salty crisps on the other hand, I can consume those by the bucket load.
This is probably why prenatal vitamins are important - just saying.
Thankfully I am organised and started taking prenatal vitamins 3 months before we conceived so no worries there. In good food news, I managed to eat a massive bowl of spinach yesterday. It was straight out of my garden, so having washed it myself it somehow felt 'safe' to eat and didn't turn my stomach. Sadly none of my other veggies will be ready to harvest for at least another few weeks. I will have to just keep trying!
Ah, I really want a house with a garden. I want to grow all sorts of lovely eatables. Well done on the spinach, I do like fresh spinach. I still feel like Popeye when I eat it
So when I read all the posts from everyone I know is English in my head I'll read your posts in my best English accent...I crack myself up
Ha ha, I wish I could hear that. I don't think I do accents. I think its because I don't know where abouts in America/Canada you all are, so I don't know which one to use.
Don't worry about Canadians... despite our vast landmass, the only place you'll hear a notably different accent is on the east coast, specifically Newfoundland. Other than Newfies, I've always heard it said that Canadian speech is "accent neutral", although I don't know how accurate that is.0 -

#2- I totally have the hots for my co-worker/supervisor and I struggle with the moral dilemma of holding to my own personal code of ethics and keeping my feelings(lust) to myself.
Yeah...I'm totally dating my coworker/supervisor now....
We are doing well at keeping work and our outside social activities separate.
Judge me if you must, but it is not against policy and things are going great so far. Taking it day by day.
That being said, I can never go back to dating *kitten*. This man values my time, responds promptly to texts and phone calls, and makes me feel desirable and wanted. Now that I have had someone who treats me with respect and kindness, I can never go back to anything less.
Yay for you! And I must confess now that until this moment I've read your name as Lila Clove Bird. That's not it, is it? LOL Lilac Lovebird makes so much more sense.
I did that too, it took me a long time to make out her name for some reason, lol. My starting point was actually Lil A Clove Bird, LMAO. Then the two you said....I have settled on Lilac Love Bird for a few weeks now.....0 -

Ah, I really want a house with a garden. I want to grow all sorts of lovely eatables. Well done on the spinach, I do like fresh spinach. I still feel like Popeye when I eat it
We basically bought this house because it came with a big garden. Essentially we bought a garden that happened to have a house in it. This is why I've spent the past 18 months doing some serious DIY (and plan on carrying on for at least the next 5 years!). We love our garden, but you really can start small. You can grow lettuces from seed in pots. You won't be self-sufficient, but it's pretty satisfying. I know lots of people who grow herbs in pots too.
That made me smile, yea, I still need to get on the market first. Its just so difficult. We were looking at new build flats the other day. £345,000.00 for a 2 bed room and you have to pay £10,000 for a parking space. £10,000! It's sickening.
Wowsers, are you near London? I'm up in Notts/South Yorkshire and you get a lot more for your pennies here. My house is not very representative of local prices since it was in such a dire state when we bought it, but I'm sure averages are a lot less than 200K (pounds) for a 3 bed semi round here. Not paid attention for the past 18 months so I could be way off. I'm glad I live somewhere 'cheap'.
Yea, I'm in South East London/Kent. They kind of merge into each other around the M25. I love it here, but the cost of living is through the roof. I think a 3 bed semi here would average around £500,000+ We are looking for a 2 bed terrace house at the moment, but they are around £250,000+. Our neighbor (living with the SO's mum) sold their 2 bed terrace for £320,000 last week.
I can't imagine paying three quarters of a million dollars for a 3 bedroom duplex. It's bad in California, but that's downright insane. Where I am, that would buy you 8 fully detached ones.
... well, that is quite depressing. 8 detached houses? Clearly, I'm in the wrong country.
yes, but there is a world of difference in the construction of houses in the UK and US. When we were in Texas a few years back, looking at houses, we went to a huge lot, which has houses of every shape and size....they get loaded on a flatbed truck and driven to your plot of land. Essentially they were porta-cabins**! Needless to say, we didn't proceed.
**Disclaimer i know its not like that everywhere in America. I just found it amusing
This is true. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most American houses are timber construction aren't they? I remember staying in a holiday house in Florida. It was MASSIVE and beautiful but all wood, which I found really odd considering its kind of hurricaney (yes, hurricaney) in Florida and it felt like it would just... blow away.0 -
Aww! I friggin heart you!
@noaddedsugarx THANK YOU! That is such a nice thing of you to say!
I love your new pic! You are so very pretty.
No worries it's true! Aww thankyou 0 -

I bought a bag of Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies last week because they were on sale and I wanted to buy some freaking cookies. I selfishly told my daughter "THEY ARE MINE!" when she noticed them.
The confession part...I haven't yet opened the bag because I don't want anyone else eating them and as long as they stay closed, I know no one else is. If I open the bag, I don't want to have to keep track of how many cookies I've eaten vs. how many are left in the bag.
I'm very stingy with my food sometimes.
There is always dark chocolate of some variety in our cabinet. The boy tried it a long time ago and didn't like it, so every time he asks for some I remind him that he doesn't like that kind. Wondering when that will end, and hoping never!
Also, the husband said to me "you like old lady chocolate", so I told him if his taste buds were not refined enough to appreciate my quality chocolate then he should keep it out of his mouth. (To clarify, this conversation was playful not mean.)
That made me smile. Dove dark chocolate promises are some of my absolute favorite. My husband bought 3 bags for me for Christmas.
Its taken me a long time to work out that American Dove chocolate = British Galaxy
I hate galaxy chocolate. Cadburys all the way for sweet, every day chocolate. Dark chocolate for those indulgent treats.
Really? I didn't know that!
And I can't believe you hate Galaxy! I thought we were friends? I'm not angry, just disappointed.
Oh dear. Galaxy chocolate is just vile, over sweetened, fatty tasting blandness. I mean, i'll eat it in a pinch, when there is nothing else available, but its not my go to.
and apparently, we own page 744!
But Galaxy is so silky smooooooth. I prefer it cold to room temperature. Room temperature it is a bit sickly.
I will never turn down Milka chocolate though. The Swiss get chocolate right on so many levels.
mmmm milka! With daim pieces. Yummy!
The best are the HUGE bars you get in the airport. Bit like the MASSIVE Toblerone bars.
I need to stop talking about chocolate...
So them apples. I'm a Braeburn girl myself.
count me in for Pink Ladys. Very juicy, crisp and sweet.
Honey Crisp, all the way!
Honey Crisp or Pink Ladys for me. We live not far from the North Carolina mountains, so try to make it up there one weekend during the fall to pick apples. The apples are delicious and the views are gorgeous!

I paid $130K for a detached brick 4 brm house on .16 of an acre.
$750K would get you a beautiful 7 brm three storey Victorian mansion on a much larger lot.0 -
I feel like this is the 'Brit hour' while most of the Americans are still asleep!
Also, please, please, please, please don't put any GoT spoilers on here. I haven't seen the series, but I'm reading the books (on the 5th one I think, although I don't know because it's on the kindle) and if someone spoils any of it for me I will cry. I can see from the kindle I am 86% of the way through the entire thing, and I don't quite know what I'll do with myself when I finish it!
I get very mournful when I finish a series of books. Wishing I could forget all about them and read them again.
If only you were actually finishing the series! Still two more books planned!
I may or may not regularly curse GRRM in my mind for his incredibly slow writing process.0 -
Weighed myself this morning and I’m so ridiculously happy- I only have 20 lbs til goal! Well, 20.7 to be exact. I’m kind of embarrassed that I’m so excited about that, but 20 lb seems a lot more attainable than the 33+ lb I started out with.
I’m also super embarrassed that I gained weight back to begin with- I was 294 at my heaviest and lost down to 130, looked amazing, was lifting hard…then got pregnant, gained too much, and I’m so flabby/out of shape it’s horrifying. So when I get to my goal I’ll probably go back into recomp/cutting, but for now that’s my goal. I’m too embarrassed to hang out with old gym rat friends and let them see me now So I don’t hang out with friends much anymore. Hubby still lifts and loves it and I miss it, but I can’t lift hard until I lose some more (the extra skin catches on the weights and hurts me).
So my confession for today is I guess I’m a lot more shallow and vain about my appearance than I thought
I also cringe inside when people tell me, “Well you just had a baby”. Um yeah, 9 months ago
But to end this on a positive note (because I hate being negative all the time and I’m trying to work on staying positive), at least being a former gym rat is helping my rate of loss this time. I know how much cardio works for me and how to tweak my food to help loss. And hey, the diet of mushies is helping right now, I’m sure

Confession: I had a Target giftcard to use, so I stopped in to pick up some things I needed for my exam this weekend, and general household stuff. I also picked a pair of workout capris (pair #15, or so - obsession!)...and a pair of SIZE FOUR jeans. They are still VERY snug and totally muffin top-inducing, but they technically both zip and button so...0

This was one reason I tried to pace myself when reading the currently published books. But I have now come to terms with the fact I'm going to catch up before he finishes writing the next one. Argh.0 -

Really? All Canadians I've had the pleasure of meeting I can definitely tell the difference in dialect, eh? 0 -
Here lately I really haven't been stressing about my weight or my goal weight. I'll get on the scale an weigh my self and see I may have gained or lost a pound and I'm just not stressing about it I feel happier about the fact that I'm not stressing out anymore then how much I've lost.
The best part about this I think is for me to be able to say I've dd it and still doing it to all the people who didn't believe me.0 -
Just started mfp yesterday, consciously went into the red on calories by 61, I ate one of those greek 80 calorie yogurts (I had thrown it into the freezer to make it like ice cream lol) ohh and I felt so guilty for thinking about deep fried bacon covered oreos while I was cooking my bacon and egg whites last night. Those suckers wil get you, 890 calories for 4 of 'em. And now my mouth is watering again..0

Oops, I should have specified anglophone Canadians, you can definitely pick out the French Canadian accent -- and they're the ones who tend to pepper their speech with more "eh"s than the rest of us.0
