Looking awesome Beeps! Love the red shoes and lips!

Hey ladies. I was out in the field all morning and just getting into the office, so quick checkin.....

Weekend was busy as usual. We had friends in Friday night, so I was up too late. Saturday we did an art fair (so some walking) and that night had a boring work party. I was in bed by 11. I couldn't even stay awake to watch KY pull out a win over SC! Sunday we did coffee, I grocery shopped, and then made Eric pasta for lunch and a TON of burgoo (meaty stew for those that have not heard of it) so spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen. It's really yummy. Can't say it's the healthiest as it has about 6 pounds of meat (beef stew meat, Boston butt, and chicken legs) but it's perfect for this time of year. Otherwise, I pretty much relaxed Sunday which is exactly what I like doing. So the only working out I did over the weekend was walking slowly at the festival. Oh well..... However I walked about 3.5 miles for work this morning, so I'm off to a good start this week! I am finding I value downtime more than workout time on weekends these days. I figure I'll only be pregnant for about 14 more weeks. so I should enjoy my time. This week I'll be missing my pilates class as I have a night meeting, so will need to make that workout up somehow. I did okay foodwise last weekend. My dessert I made is gone and so are the icecream sandwiches, so desserts should be less this week.

Alright, better run. Have a great week ladies!

Beeps- I didn't realize magnesium pills are supposed to help with sleep? I take two a night to help with digestive issues- that I unfortunately have always had, but these couple with eating healthy have really helped keep me regular....sorry TMI

Ashley-Definitely use these last weeks to rest up!

Abi- Nice job on the 5K!

Amy-hangovers are the worst.

Ram-Thankfully the only baby furniture that had to be put together for us was the crib, and Mike did that all on his own while I was at work....putting furniture together is the awful, I remember a couple years ago getting drunk in our garage while putting together our patio furniture

I am still doing good with eating. I didn't even log this weekend, but I really didn't eat bad. I started and ABs, Buns and Guns challenge on October 1. It basically is squats, push ups and leg lifts laying on your back....it builds throughout the month. I think by the end you do like 50 push ups and 300 squats. But, I've been doing that, some PiYo and I did run yesterday. But, I am in a real workout slump. This morning all I did was the challenge. I need to figure something out.

Edited to add: I think I might take a break from logging. Sometimes I feel like I have done this long enough that its unnecessary sometimes. I know what I should eat and shouldn't.

Wow - not sure I like the new format and it took me a while to find the thread again! I will post the star challenge results tomorrow. Hope you all are having a great week!

OMG! Where did "my topics" go?!?!? How do i find my common threads i post on. And now this is page 205? Nobody new will EVEr come here.

Sniff.

You guys, I HATE THIS!!!!!

Also they have apparently disabled the feedback option - must have been getting too many complaints!

I felt so lost not posting yesterday!

The day went well and I stayed within my calories (or pretty close to them)...there is a tub of caramel corn sitting in my office and I may have had a few hand fulls that weren't logged. Allergies are bad right now and so by the time I got out of the office, I had a headache which triggered the vertigo which led to nausea and just full flown exhaustion. I did do my push-ups though thanks to hubby getting down and doing them with me

Today I feel better. My throat is a bit scratchy and my eyes puffy but doing ok overall. Had my first occupational therapy session for my elbow that I broke a year ago and that was never set/treated (thanks military)...they said I have "crunchy muscles" which I guess means I have a lot of scar tissue in my elbow joint and for the next month I have to go in and they are going to break down that tissue...I am bruising after todays session. After they break it all down, then they will get it to heal w/o all the scar tissue.

Today is a 60-70 min run. I am not in the mood but no excuses today. Monday was brutal. I wanted to just sit, but got myself up saying I was going to at least walk. I ended up running hills b/c I crashed on the last hill, coach wanted to get as much hill work in while I was still fatigued and b/c hill work is usually a quicker work out (about an hour) that I wouldn't risk an overuse injury. I as not thrilled...but when I woke up Tuesday nothing hurt, nothing ached...so I guess coach knows what he is doing LOL.

So far I am behind on my strength and smoothie goals...we will see! It is time to shake this weight...no point in carrying around 12 lbs I don't need to on a run!
