    It's been an emotional week for me. Having talked to a couple of people it's seems more and more like I had an early term miscarriage. Apparently they are fairly common. I see my doctor on Thursday with Matt so hopefully they can give me a firm answer. Between the heaviness, the terrible pain, the exhaustion and the missed period is been rough. But you know how you just feel like something's wrong? Even without all those symptoms something just felt wrong. I spent a lot is time sleeping this part week.

    I have a few things to do today but I honestly don't know if I'll do them. I kind of just want to relax. I went to a BBQ yesterday. I had a great time. I got to see a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while so that was nice.

    The new girl starts at the branch on Monday. That makes me super happy. It means we won't have to spend the whole day in the branch open to close any more.

    I don't think I'm going to set any goals today other then eating sensibly.

    I hope everyone has a great day.

    Im so sorry about the miscarriage (if that's what it gets confirmed as) . I do know what you mean by something feeling wrong, sending much love and hugs, if you ever need to talk I'm here.

    Home from the party-I tried to eat only a little but 2000+ calories and that is just what I can recall! The baked beans were so good! Banana pudding was superb. And my fruit dip was excellent and I have more in frig. On the bright side, I was not late for church, I found a person to take me to surgery and then stay and bring me home, and I did no yard work.
    Tomorrow, work very hard in Y water class to make up for today; totally be low in calories and don't even breathe sodium, drink more than ever because I am so thirsty from today, be on time for dr appt. Take shot. Pick up meds for surgery. Should have done that today but I forgot. I will put a sign on door near car and that will help. Taking 4 cups ice water to bed and drinking the evening away (we did karaoke).

    So today actually got a whole lot better! Matt's manager cut his hours today by two but didnt tell him so he got there 2 hours early and flipped his lid. After a lot of back and forth, I finally told him to just leave his shift and come home. I was not in a good headspace at all. I spent about a half an hour sitting on my couch with Panda in my lap just staring at a black tv screen feeling completely numb. It was pretty scary. I was so lost in my own head that I couldn't move at all. I managed to pull myself off of the couch and go up to my parent's house to do some laundry. I talked to my dad for a while and threw some clothes in the wash. I went back home and paid some bills.

    The DH and I have pretty much come to the decision that he is going to put his two weeks in on Tuesday. We have some money put aside that we can live off of while he looks for something new. He has his heart set on doing something with hockey or baseball. We have a minor league MLB team about 5 miles away and we know someone who works for the FCA(Fellowship of Christian Athletes) that Matt might be interested in talking to. I think it's time for this to happen. Something needs to change. Matt's job has been treating him like absolute *kitten*. It's time for him to move on. I've told him flat out that I want him to leave. That it's been affecting him in a really bad way and that has been affecting me. So send some prayers for a quick turn around job wise. The one thing that worries us is that we won't have health insurance anymore. We are going to try and apply for state aid. I can get it through my job but it is insanely expensive. Like costs about half of my monthly pay. And apparently, it's not very good either. I'm going to do some research.

    He came home and we ended up going to a new discount store that opened around the corner. It was a total mob! I mean TOTAL mob. Like NO personal space at all. But it was worth it. There was a lot of brand name stuff that we could use at the house. I think next Friday night we are going to go and really scope it out.

    But just being with him and going out and doing something. Tinkering and building the things we bought. It all changed my mindset around. I am much more at peace then I was early this afternoon. I actually feel good and hopeful.

    However, I did eat like crap today. We ended up ordering takeout. We got Cluck U which is really tasty! We haven't had it in like 8 months or something. But I am definitely bloated and actually really dehydrated. I think all the sodium dried me out. Lol. So for the rest of the night it's going to be water focused.

    Morning all

    Hugs @HEGoddard0928 - it’s not surprising that you feel emotional. Trying to conceive can be such an emotional rollercoaster as hormones can really mess with you. Sounds like you and Matt are really supportive of each other though so have faith that you will get through this together and stronger.

    @snowflake1968 - sounds like you had a great day. And sometimes that is way more important than hitting goals. Life is to be lived! And there’s always a new day for goals.

    I managed to workout both days this weekend and got lots of naps! Ate like an absolute disaster but it wasn’t emotional eating l so much as just greed! Feel pretty rubbish this morning though.

    The problem is that my boyfriend thinks I’m too skinny at the moment. He rolls his eyes if I try and choose anything ‘healthy’ and he doesn’t really like a lot of the foods I normally eat. And I understand what he is saying but it’s not just about the weight. A whole weekend of treats just leaves me feeling bloated and so uncomfortable so it’s not even enjoyable. Today is a public holiday in England so he’s not at work. Not sure whether I will stay for the day today as well but if I do I’m definitely going to try and eat healthier - even if he doesn’t approve.

    Monday goals
    - Walk off this bloated feeling
    - No more sugar
    - Water to flush out system
    - Head home and make cake for M bday
    - Early night

    Okay so this is OT but does anyone know how to handle the war between siblings?
    The 4 yo knows how to share, the 2 year old doesn't and screams MINE.
    They're fighting over a babypram (actually a walker for Casey when she's older) and a baby, which IS actually Marleys she got it on her birthday.

    I don't know what to do LOL

    Marley is just learning that things belong to people and hasn't learned that its not all hers. Michaela is having this battle with Jonah right now and he's almost 7. She has gotten better over the last month or so. We tell her no if Jonah is playing with something and she wants it and offer her an alternative. We don't make him give it to her. She of course, throws a fit until we find the right alternative and she sometimes ends up in timeout.
    My girls were the same age difference as yours and I remember it being tougher. I remember though not making the oldest one give into the youngest one because that's not fair to the oldest. I thought the sibling rivalry ended when they moved out, however I know there are things I do that the other is sometimes jealous of LOL

    Be tough and consistent with Marley she will learn to share too.

    I took the Grands to some yard sales yesterday its one of our favourite hobbies. Jonah only bought one thing, a science weather experiment set. Michaela bought a My Little Pony, Barbies w/clothes, a purse, a headband and a necklace. She only spent the same amount as him. I bought her 11 items of clothing though. All brand name stuff, which we never get, for 7.00! She grows so fast that Lauryn and Ryan have a hard time keeping her in clothes. These were all Fall and Winter clothes so that will help them out.

    When we came home Lauryn came home from work with an upset stomach and Jonah was complaining too. I hope I don't get their bug.

    I need to start taking this weight loss seriously again. I do OK, lose a couple pounds and then relax for 2-3 weeks. need to stay on task more consistently. This is going to get harder for me soon because I'm not so sure how to eat healthier in the Winter. I have to really put some thought into this.

    I'm off to go see Jasmyne, she had an overwhelming day on Friday and is changing some plans. I'm not sure what this means for me.
