Guess who’s hoooome!
So it was absolute hell getting my induction started and then absolute hell getting discharged.
But I’m home.
Kids came home today too, literally got in the house, put a pizza on, said hello to the dog peed up my leg haha missed me I guess!
Got baby in basket. Kids got dropped off. That was emotional. They both look so much older and Marley (the youngest) doesn’t look like my baby anymore. And it took her a while to come to me off her own back.
It was all a bit much if I’m honest lol very overbearing. As I had to do a feed in the middle of the “returning home” chaos.
And then get them to bed.
I’m still a bit sore, still a bit breathless from low iron (which is why I look so pale!) And the “afterpains” are so much worse when BFing.
Posts are probably gonna be minimal from me for a few days until I adjust! But thought you might want an update6 -
So a lot has happened today! The DH and I became investors. We played roller hockey(well I haphazardly skated around the rink while he played) and I fell, probably bruising my tailbone and spraining my wrist in the process. Lol. I also GOT A CALLBACK! It was the bank that I interviewed at in the beginning of February. The place I had the vision of. If I get the job(I'll find out tomorrow or the day after) it'll be at the branch where the vision took place! Lol. It was the coolest feeling. Yesterday I decided that I wouldn't put any more applications in at banks because I wanted to get out of the whole retail industry altogether. Mom and I were even talking about it this morning. I told her what I had decided and she asked that if the bank called me back, would I turn it down? And I said no.
What was even funnier was they called me at about 11 am and I let it go to voicemail, thinking it was someone else. I had this conversation with my mom at about 1 pm. It wasn't until about 4 that I actually checked the message and realized who it was! I called back immediately and got the details about the opening.
Oh! And I got my small but definitely needed tax return back this morning so I can go food shopping and pay rent!4 -

1. Up by 7/Morning routine/Yoga
Got up on time and did everything I wanted to. The yoga felt great!
2. Inspection station by 8I forgot it was the last day of the month, so there were about 25 cars in front of me waiting to all get inspected. Thank God they had all 6 lanes open. It only took about 25 minutes
3. DH up by 9/Text M about ThursdayGot him up late because of Yoga. Lol. Moving coffee with M to dinner on Friday(weather permitting)
4. Finance guy(Bring paperwork!!!!!)This went really really well! I'm getting my stock money from a previous job the beginning of April and I wanted to sit down with my parent's guy and ask a bunch of questions and things. He was great! He answered all my questions and gave us a book to read. Lol. I'm excited to actually have a retirement account set up!
5. Actually, eat lunch!!!Leftover meat over a salad. Was yummy.
6. Bike ride with the DH
This turned into roller hockey/skating. The prep and the actual skating took like 6 hours. Lol
7. Library(or writing on the back deck) for AT LEAST 45 minutesSee above
8. Read/Nap(maybe)See above...again
9. Prep Dinner(Seasoned, seared Rib Eye Steaks/Mashed potatoes/Green beans)Everything but the green beans. It was delicious. Although I cooked the steaks a little too long. Gonna try for less next time.
10. Dinner/Dishes
Dinner is cleaned up and the table is put away, but against my better judgment I'm leaving the sink full of dishes tonight to see if my wrist hurts less tomorrow
11. DH timeWe were doing out own thing tonight, but we were on the couch together
12. Night routineGonna do this after I'm done
13. Light off by 11Most likely. It's only 920 and I'm exhausted!
So other than the pain I am in, today has been a FANTASTIC day! I didn't get everything done that I wanted to but that was okay. The DH got some awesome exercise, had a blast and DIDNT GET HURT! My DH gets hurt doing any kind of sporting activity...except roller hockey. He's been playing for 30 years and other then the occasional broken nose(mainly from punches to the face) he has never been hurt playing. It's been about 5 years since he's been in his skates though. Actually, everything that he has that was hockey related was in an open storage room in an abandoned chicken coop on my parent's property. Lol. We spent about 3 hours cleaning it all out. We discovered there are a couple of things we need to replace and a few things for me to buy. But mostly, it turned out okay. One thing I am definitely investing in is a butt pad(yes that is really what they are called lol). It's for people whole do sports like that who are likely to fall on their *kitten*...like me!!! Lol. I really want to be able to spend time with DH and his friends doing this. Plus it's a GREAT workout. So I need to get better on my skates. And now that I'm pretty sure I have a job, I'll actually be able to buy things again! And stick to the budget! We'll have an emergency fund in April so we can start actually doing things with our money! Lol
Anyway, sorry for the terribly terrible ramble! I'm just full of enthusiasm and joy because today was so awesome!
So onto my list!

So the month of march for me was not the greatest. I ended up not losing even 1 pound, but the good news is that I did not gain either. So my goals for March will be very similar to Februarys, except I am going to work hard to meet my goals
March Goals
1. GET UNDER the 190s!!! Even if it is only 189 ---- but get out of the 190s. Todays weight was 193.6, so this is doable.
2. try to consistently log my food 5x a week...... and try to stay under calorie goals at least 4-5x a week.
3. work hard on getting in my water - 8 cups, at least 5x a week.
4. I have incorporated going to the gym as a habit not, but it is also a habit I could easily break if I am not careful. So for this month again, go to the gym 5x a week minimum
SO my goals for TOmorrow, March 1st (Wow, can it really be march already!!! So for 2 full months, I have not lost any weight. Time to get serious!!
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water. I need to work to turn this into a habit. Something I struggle with all the time
3. sip on water in the evening -- this is when I do the most damage with snacking on unhealthy stuff
4. work on chemo hats
5. busy day with work tomorrow - but get oven fried chicken ready to pop in the oven after we ship.
6. get back on here - be accountable.
7. remember my march goals! Remember how great I can feel on April 1st if I stay on plan -- and get out of the 190s!4 -

I will still be mindful of what I eat and try to hydrate, but that's about it for goals today.
Hope you feel better soon! there is so much sickness going around -- hubby and I were both feeling crappy yesterday. I think this crazy weather certainly does not help - 35 one day, 60 the next day, and rainy, gloomy! Feel better soon, and your goals are perfect!4 -

Yesterday's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
Ended up eating an entire block of cheese. Not sure why - I was hungry, but I was also stressed and possibly fed up of being 'good' all the time. Think I need to look at what I'm doing overall and see if I can make changes that make me happier with my plan!
- NO EXTRA WINE AFTER WINE COURSE
- Stay positive
- Leave work at 5pm I actually left at 2.30 because of snow... But then worked from home! Made it to my wine course on time, which was the point of this one
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Stay positive
- Go to gym at lunch
- Finish work by 6.45
- No alcohol3 -
It's 8:06 am and I've been up for an hour. I've done a short-er yoga video, took a shower, had a cup of coffee and weighed myself. Why the heck do I feel like I'm about to fall asleep sitting up? I have to leave in about 40 minutes to meet up with a friend for coffee. Which means I can't really go back to sleep. I think it's time for another cup of coffee.
My tailbone seems to be feeling better. Cant lean against it on a hard surface, but walking around and standing in the shower are fine. I just had to sleep on my side, which I do normally. My wrist only really hurts if I lean on it. I can lean on my fingers though, so that helps. That's how I managed to do the yoga video. It was only a 20-minute one that focused on the neck and shoulders. It felt good to stretch all that out. I tend to store tension there.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning. I know some of you are in the middle of your day and some aren't even awake yet!3 -

Absolutely freezing blizzard extreme weather conditions over here (prob mild compared to stateside snow but we brits are only good at rain!). Most schools closed but mine and my kids’ schools were open so we all had a slog to get in through the weather.
My hip seems to be getting better though so am feeling more positive. But not so good at allowing myself rest...
Recap
Goals for 1/3:
- rest unless hip better ✅ (ish) I woke up early even though alarm was set for later. Was still sad about sore hip but decided to try a workout doing mainly arms/core/body weight stuff and put in an hour. Can’t decide if this is a NSV or if I should be angry with myself for not resting?? Also (not really intentionally) ended up over 16k steps and 61 floors)
- Stay within calorie goal but do not over restrict ✅
- drink lots of fluids ✅ (though lots of this was coffee/decaf coffee as so cold today needed hot drinks)
- Chase delivery ✅ email sent but no phone number and no reply
- Online grocery shop ✅
- Be kind to myself see above 3 -
Oops goals for tomorrow!
2/3:
- modified workout to rest hip
- Stay within calorie goal
- Lots of fluid
- speak to M and B ahead of parent meeting
- Lock in date for school council and twinning meeting
- Take pics of school in snow to send to twin school
- Early night3 -
Having low iron is wiping me out!
Even doing the simplest of tasks is leaving me breathless and exhausted! And getting strange headaches. They’re like mild niggles but I can’t stand noise or anything even someone talking to me seems overwhelming
I’m taking iron tablets prescribed from the hospital so should feel considerably better in the next couple of weeks.
However, can any of you recommend iron-rich foods?
I’m on 2 types of antibiotics, iron, 2 different pain killers, thyroxine and I have to inject myself with a medicine that helps prevent blood clots (risk of deep vein thrombosis) for 10 days.
Except I can’t do it lol!!!
My partner helped me arrange all my tablets this morning for the day and after my first dose he came downstairs about 40 mins later and the injection was still on the side hahah he knows me so well. So he had to do it and he was just as squeamish!
He was shaking, I was crying hahah nightmare!
Anyway
I missed so many posts! I have no idea where you’re all up to in your lives!
I’m meant to be congratulating either @HGSmith0920 or @OConnell5483 for graduating their course? Or something? Haha my god help me I don’t know who or what it is but congratulations lol!!!
I hope the rest of you are doing okay!5
