    So glad to see you here, Jesyka. :flowerforyou: And Nathan is absolutely completely precious (like I have to tell you! :laugh:)!!

    I did really well with my eating and calorie intake yesterday. I landed somewhere around 1800.
    Today I'm still craving healthy foods, so maybe this is a new trend? I hope! I mean, I've even logged my food in advance.... ON A SATURDAY! :drinker:

    Momma- thank you. We're still working through it all as the case progresses. Brookelyn took care of me and her little brother while I was pregnant though so it's been a blessing having her as my guardian angel.

    Deb- Thank you :) That's very cool that you both almost shared a birthday, and Happy Belated Birthday :smile:

    Julie- Thank you! He's so cuddly I just love him :love: I'm so glad your pregnancy is going well, I can't wait to see pictures of that sweet little girl you're incubating :tongue:

    Yay, Nancy!!

    I'm on my 3rd day of really tracking calories and making a huge effort to eat healthier.

    This morning I was down 3 pounds from Friday! :noway: Stupid water retention, be gone! I've felt very much in control the last few days and I'm hoping this is a trend that continues for the rest of my pregnancy. If it does, I'm pretty sure I can keep my weight gain under 35 pounds. I'm not specifically trying to lose weight right now, I'm just trying to focus on eating healthier and being more active. I'm sure I have at least 3-4 more pounds worth of water weight that will come off if I continue making efforts to keep my sodium intake under control.

    Gotta say, I'm pretty proud of you myself :happy: :flowerforyou:

    Julie- You're doing awesome managing you weight gain during your pregnancy!! I wish I'd been that strong during any one of my pregnancies:laugh:

    So today my exercise has consisted of 2 minute increments on the elliptical machine :laugh: at this point, being just shy of 2wks postpartum Its all I can handle right now. I managed 10 minutes today, and given I'm still a bit sore, I'm fairly happy with that :smile:

    Jesyka I think that is good. The reason they call it labour is it is hard work:laugh: I think you are doing great.


    Well, Good morning ladies who have a tendency not to post on the weekends and are not here yet on a Monday morning. C'mon ladies I am on the west coast I should not be the first one of the morning posting. It may be 8:23 here but I know a lot of you it is already hitting 10:23 and 11:23. Say HELLO to your weight loss sisters:flowerforyou:

    Good morning girls! I'm glad to see you Jesyka!

    Checking in for the weekend:
    calories: good - especially for a weekend
    exercise: great
    water: not so good
    proud: I rushed home yesterday from our weekend to get back in time for my step class

    not so proud: I have picked up a very bad habit that I need to share with you ladies. I have always enjoyed occasionally going to the casino, but lately I've been going by myself and too often - and not leaving when I'm ahead. I think I'm replacing my food addiction habit with a gambling habit. I don't think I need gambler's anonomous just yet ... but I definitely need to stop going to the casino by myself, because when I'm there I forget the time and I'm a little irresponsible with money, and I end up not feeling very good about myself when I leave. I won a big jackpot around Christmas time and I think that got me hooked - that jackpot has since been lost. :sick: Definitely time to quit. I may add that to my check-ins when I am tempted to go to the casino to keep me accountable.

    lstpaul, I think that is a great idea. Maybe just being accountable to someone if it is only to say I went to the casino or no I did not go is great. You hold your chin up and be proud that you had an "aha" moment about the casino!!!!!

    Cris, I did not realize that you had an actual date set in stone. Yay countdown to our version of the wedding of the century!!!!:flowerforyou: You need to go to tickerfactory.com and get you a wedding countdown ticker so we can all follow it.

    Thanks momma, I really wanted to find some support for stopping my casino habit and couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. And then I realized that I have a great support network here with all of you and I knew you would help me!

    Jesyka - so glad to see you back here - congratulations on your little cudle bug!

    I was away at the farm with friends over the weekend. I didn't do well, at all, but I did take it easy! None the less I'm back on track today.

    I kinda hurt myself Thursday picking up my computer bag - it's hard to remember NOT to do things that are kinda automatic! I've got pain along the right side incision (down under it -the actual incision is numb) and my right side ribs hurt. I see the doctor tomorrow so I'll see what he says. I'm guessing/hoping he'll just say that if I pulled anything lose they can fix it when they go back in for the final implantation.

    Checking in for Friday:
    Calories - OVER
    Exercise - None
    Water - Good
    Proud: I didn't go nuts when I got to the farm, and in fact thought I was being pretty good with my food choices (WARNING! Little puff pastery snacks pack a BIG calorie count!)

    Checking in for Saturday:
    Calories OVER
    Excercise: None
    Water: not close
    Proud: I was enjoying veggies and humus and decided to skip lunch rather than have both!

    Checking in for Sunday:
    Calories: Over
    Exercisse: None
    Water: under
    Proud: We decided not to go out for Mexican, and I had half the pizza (thin crust spinach) that was put on my plate. I'm really BAD about eating what ever is on my plate!

    So far today I'm doing OK - I had half a grilled cheese (on high fiber bread) and a piece of dark chocolate...

    hello girls.

    Sorry i was mia this weekend, we were busy and i was horrible with eating :sad: of course the scale showed my badness. was up 6 lbs from friday, but i know alot of it is water weight. So back on track, i logged cals today but way over :sad: but i didn't work out today, just couldn't get with it.

    I am really anxious for the fitness center to open. the 16th is the date it is suppose to open , just curious if it will be real busy during the week or not.

    thank you all for your warm wishes.
    We are very excited.......
    Mstahl - sounds like you have had your surgeries. Hope all went smoothly and well done for being strrong through all.

    1stpaul - don't be too hard on yourself. I remember back when I weighed a lot more than I do now that my internal monologue was very negative and the fatter I got the worse it was. You recognize that there may be a problem brewing now and sounds like it's early enough that no real harm has been done yet. I know you can get past this. Hey it's much easier to quit gambling than it is to quit overeating - you got this :heart: :heart:

    I'm not going to around much but over on the preggo forum instead but I will stop in from time to time.
    Big hugs everyone xoxoxoxoxox

    Checkeing in for the day!

    Calories - just over but really close so I'm HAPPY!
    Exercise - none - tomorrow I see the doc and I'm going to ask about exercisng in ways that don't involve the upper body!
    Water - excellent! At the hospital they sent me home with a lovely 32oz. drinking mug with a lid and straw - I have two since I was admitted twice. I always have one ready!

    Proud - well... I was pretty good today with the food! I'll take any good day I can get!


    Our mastiff, Mrs. Figg, has been very needy since my surgery. I think it's because she's stuck out back all day and I've been somewhat avoiding her since when she first gets inside she's a little like a hyper hypo charging through the house. Now when she can slip into our room she will try to crawl on top of my in bed (not good for the recovery). I feel badly because the more we try to keep her away the more she's upset and tries to get back over to me. Tonight she's in and she's sleeping on the floor on my bare feet. Like "if this is the most I can cuddle I'm ON IT". If I go to the bathroom she follows me and moans outside the door. It's sad and pathetic and I'm trying not to get too irritated!
