Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))
Replies

At my first midwife app (it's midwife led in the UK, you only see a dr if there are complications) I was referred to consultant led care due to my previous csection and macrosomia (big baby). We need to have the vbac vs elective csection conversation. Since I am very much erring towards a csection, she referred me to the consultant who's known for being that way inclined.
Anyway, got my app letter and I'm seeing the other consultant, the one who has a reputation for pushing for vbac. My friend had her and really had to fight her corner. I probably have more sound medical reasons for my decision, but I'm not best pleased.
Women actually have a right to a csection even on the NHS, but lots of doctors would have you think otherwise. I just don't want to have to recover from both a long labour and surgery if it's another big baby (which history says it will be), with a toddler too. Csection recovery is hard, but what I went through last time was harder.
Appointment isn't for another 4 weeks. I'm hoping the consultant doctor's reputation is exaggerated and I won't have a fight on my hands. My midwife was super sympathetic, but it's not up to her.
That was long. Can you tell I've been dwelling on it?
Just stand your ground and be firm. It's your body and you know what you want.0 -
Hi every one I know I have missed huge patches on this thread and I am very sorry. I'm not trying to be unsociable it is just my schedule is extremely busy and all I can think to do ant night is to collapse in bed. I will try to do some catching up today.
Kelly nine days in a row is insane. Take care of your self
Jessica and Miss Kalhan you both look so good.
Some how I missed the winter picture I went back several pages and just could find it.
Sorry I got to go but Ill be back tonight.0 -
I have been married 25 years today to my crazy awesome best friend. We were supposed to sneak away for the weekend, but the fan clutch on my truck died, which in turn killed the water pump. He got it almost fixed this morning and the stinking fan put a hole in my radiator. He will be fixing that tomorrow. Rain check on romantic get away.3

a clean house always makes me feel betterI confess that I am using the disater state of my house and my husband's medical issues to let myself eat like crap. Been eating fast good and chocolate way too often. I now need to get storage tubs and get some dusting cloths to help clean up the house.
Great job on the weigjt, Quik!!! Here's hoping some organizing and decluttering will inspire me to get something done.

I must have missed that you are pregnant, how far along are you.0 -
I confess that I hide a pack of M&Ms in a tampon box in the bathroom closet. That way, my husband and 3 kids will not find and eat them. Also, I always eat my M&Ms while taking a bubblebath.10

I never thought of that one. It is nice to have treats on hand when you want them..

Congratulations on the weight loss. From what I see in the pictures (a lot of muscle definition) you don't need to lose more. I thought when you show that much definition you don't have fat covering it up. I think you look terrific as is.quiksylver296 wrote: »I'm at my lowest weight in a decade!!! 170.4 for the past two days. I'm only 5.4 pounds away from the goal weight I originally set.
I may attempt to get to 157 instead of 165, because 157 is where the classes break for powerlifting. If 157 is too hard, I can compete in the heavier class. But if I can hover around 157 pretty easily, I may perform better in the lower class.
Please don't take this as me telling you what to do. It is just my thoughts.0 -

With the exception of today I haven't had a binge for at least 20 days or so.
Progress not perfection Kelly, that's great! I hope PLL (Pretty Little Liars?) is everything you want and more

I confess as soon as I got up and realized it had snowed again I started planning another 2k into my route tonight...and avocado pudding into my day
Ugh at snow! When does it usually stop snowing in Canada?
Lol never . I've seen snow in July and August before because Alberta is mercurial as hell. Incidentally I walked the girls to the grocery store in clear weather and walked back in a full bore snow storm. It's almost May dammit -_-
I always thought Dante's Inferno was written by a southerner that traveled to the far north for a year, and said "this would make a good book"0 -

LOL! I should take photographs of my sister's boys room! It's usually a disaster. They usually have Legos all over the place & just take their clothes out of the dresser & if they don't want to wear it it goes on the floor.
I told her she should start to make a pair of shoes like this so she doesn't accidentally step on one in bare feet.
How very creative and funny. I bet it would be hard to keep those kind of shoes. Our sons were always deconstructing and re constructing.0 -

Yum! Happy birthday to your not-so-little man!2 -

OMG, I think I am going to have the entire pint of Halo Top peanut butter cup for dinner. A new favorite for sure. Also, I picked my backsplash tile for the house this weekend. So ready for all this to be done!!! But it is going to be a long time to get done.

11.5 weeks. I cannot wait for the first trimester to be over, but I am starting to feel less queasy.0 -

Congrats on 25 years, that's awesome. The rest is a bit rubbish, but a postponed romantic getaway will be hopefully just as nice.0 -
I have never had a smore, but this cookie concoction looks a good idea. We built a fire pit in the garden last year, hopefully my smore virginity won't last much longer.3

I confess that when people ask why I am losing weight I say so I can do more with the family and live longer and be more healthy....but..... the only real reason I want to lose weight is to look better. Shallow aye.5

Congratulations! I long for that day. I don't think I've been that weight since I was 16/17
How accurate do you rate the other measurements on your scale? That measures a lot of things!0 -
Way to go @quiksylver296 - that 13 year old has one hot mama !
So my husband gave me my early Mother's Day gift yesterday and registered me for the Red Deer Marathon...in 19 days lol. I confess that even though I am really excited about it I am worried that I won't BQ and my time is going to irk me. I've been training for Boston time but against what I thought would be my debut (June 18). Meanwhile my husband was on the phone with his Grandma, "Yeah so I guess we're going to Boston next year!" ....NO PRESSURE AT ALL!

Very highly inaccurate, in my opinion. I have it set on the "athlete" female setting, which is supposed to change how the body fat reads, but it doesn't. I'm certain I'm not 25.6% BF. Calipers at the gym have me at ~17%, which seems closer to reality, when I look at photos.

Uhhhhhh if you're 25% then I'm 50% lol. The body fat scales are such bunk
Thanks @kelly_c_77 ! I'm just going to chase the 3:30:00 pace bunny like she owes me money I guess 3
