My stomach has been so sore today, like my actual stomach, anything I eat or drink (even water) makes it hurt for a little bit after as soon as if reached it, it feels very tender and sensitive.
Pretty sure it's not baby-related but was wondering if anyone has had this before (it's possible I've ate something dodgy yesterday but I've not felt sick at all but do feel "off") and what can i do to soothe it? I tried peppermint tea this morning but it didnt really help, like I said even water makes it hurt?
The days nearly over here but any advice is welcomed!
Ginger tea, Ginger ale, sprite, crackers (plain saltines), maybe a Gatorade or Propel. Sometimes chicken broth helps. I had food poisoning back in September and all I could do was sip on those drinks and occasionally eat a few crackers. I stayed on a blan diet for a few days until I felt better. (Things like toast, bananas, applesauce, crackers, chicken broth, etc).
I hope you can get some rest and feel better soon.

I didn't know this was tonight! Good luck! Brrrr. It's so cold and windy today, I don't know how y'all do it!
Especially if you're walking on the river walk! 4 -
Something I learned: We are all practicing. We are practicing to be healthy eaters. What happens when we practice? We mess up. We stumble. Sometimes we just decide not to practice for a day. But we correct our mess ups, we get back up and try again, and we enjoy our rest day for what it was without feeling the guilt (otherwise what's the point of a rest day), and we begin practicing again. As we learn a new instrument we practice the tune over and over and over again, until one day, we can do it with our eyes closed. But until that time, it can sound pretty ugh-ly! If we keep focused on the process, after awhile we become proficient at it.
What a GREAT way to look at it! I've never really thought about it in these terms. How inspiring! Thank you!5 -
@nutrishus The walking is great for you! Walking, can also be cardio. Cardio is anything that elevates your heart rate a percentage (you would have to look it up) above your resting heart rate. When I first started this journey, I started out with a 10 minute walk. I was huffing and puffing and my heart was racing up a storm. I gradually, added in more time, and started walking faster and faster. So much so that I felt like I needed to run. This year for the very first time in my life I ran 60 minutes without stopping. There are a ton of great benefits from walking so don’t let the doctor rain on your parade. Yes cardio, is wonderful, it helps strengthen your heart, burns calories, and so many other things too. But walking is great in its own way.
Well I have stocked this board for many moons, and added my two cents in now and then. Finally decided I want to jump in. Hopefully it will help me after sliding back up by 30 pounds. Ugh.
This is so inspiring to me! I am struggling to walk very long and have been beating myself up for it...to the point of not wanting to even try because I'm embarrassed. If you started out with a 10 minute wak and ingreated it to 60 minutes of running, that is incredible to me! Thank you for sharing this.
I'm really glad you decided to jump in!
Welcome! 6 -

@Bex953172 I don't remember ever having that where it actually hurt. I've had it make me nauseous, like with the stomach flu and I've had pains in my gut that jab for no reason but then stop right away, but not pains from just drinking water or eating something. I hope it passes! Did you try coating your stomach with milk, perhaps? I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so lousy! Sending you hugs across the big body of water between us! xoxox1

I think staying in the green is one of the very most important of goals! So, that is awesome!5 -
Rough week at work. Totally blew calories yesterday.
Just for today - not beating myself up. Just get back on the 'calorie' wagon.
6 -
Didn't get out to exercise yesterday- I work at a school and we ended up closing due to an ice storm followed by 3-4 inches of snow. My husband went out and said that even the main roads were impassable and people were doing 20mph on the main road through town, so I didn't even venture out the half mile to the gym. My calories were okay, but probably a bit over my goal.
JFT 1/13:
1. Stay under calorie goal
2. Planning to go to dinner - look up menu and plan ahead what to eat and stick with that
3. Go to the gym and burn 300+ calories on the stationary bike5 -
Okay, quick draft because if I spend much time on this I'm going to be late:
JFT Saturday:
1. Zumba, then yoga.
2. Still need to work on unit plans. Forgot my power cord AGAIN, even though I unplugged it and I really thought I'd put it in my bag. The computer is slow and it's at under 40%. Really irritating.
3. Update music from iTunes on the mobile devices.
4. Find some teacher blogs.
5. LAUNDRY. I've got clean clothes that need to be put away.
6. Weekend plans - come home after yoga and check with DH; better to get together with family tonight or some other time? when to do grocery shopping?
7. Need to do strength training today, strength and flex tomorrow.
8. Check with B about plans for Sunday.
9. Quit eating stuff that isn't logged.
Gotta run.

1/12 Friday JFT:
✔▪Regular morning routine for kids
✔▪Breakfast w/ hubby
✔▪OBGYN appt.
❌▪Elliptical
❌▪Stretch
❌▪Work on Research Abstract Draft
✔▪Lunch
❌▪Rest and relax ~ 20 min.
✔▪Regular afternoon routine for kids
✔▪Dinner by 7 pm
✔▪Bedtime by 10 pm
Well my OBGYN appt took 2 hours
I guess she got behind schedule, then she wanted to chit-chat, Lol! So that ate up my morning. In addition to that, breakfast w/ hubby also took 2 hours bc he had a lot he wanted to chit-chat about too, Lol. Needless to say my morning consisted of talking with my hubby and doctor!! Afterwards I met up with hubby for lunch and we enjoyed a nice lunch together. Then I decided it was time to splurge for maternity clothes. So I did a bit of shopping before getting the kiddos from school. After getting the kiddos and running some more errands, the day was over and it was time for dinner. Nothing real productive was accomplished but I was able to stay happy and positive all day, which was nice
1/13 Saturday JFT:
#1 Stay positive and happy! I can always accomplish some things on Sunday.
▪Breakfast w/ family
▪Manage Saturday Chores
▪Grocery list and meal planning
▪Lunch
▪Grocery Shopping
▪Run a few errands (mortgage, target)
▪Work on Research Abstract
▪Elliptical
▪Stretch
▪Dinner ~ 8 pm (based on remodel project)
▪Bedtime ~ 11 pm (based on remodel project)
The weekend has arrived!! This means all my plans are contingent on my hubby's remodel project schedule. He may need me to adjust my plans to help out. Lately he has been using materials that smell bad to me and make me sick so I don't think he will commission for my help this weekend.
Good news though, baby is healthy, my weight is satisfactory for doctor's standards and I'm healthy!! That's good news to keep me moving forward

You are all so inspiring. Love it when I get the chance to read a bunch of posts. It gives me strength to charge through this long weekend.
Some of you mentioned that you will binge or snack on treats in private (after everyone's in bed, etc.) and this is a major problem for me. So, I'm adding it to my JFT list. I have to get out of the habit of rewarding myself with food or a treat after a stressful situation. Back when I went to WW this topic came up frequently. I'll see if I can come up with some ways to break my habit. Maybe a 2 week challenge w/a non-food reward at the end. Focusing on the positives-I've been able to kick my habit of ordering sugary iced coffees every day since the spring, I finally gotten my water increased and so on. I have to remind myself that it took effort to accomplish these habits and it will require effort for the new habits.
Nothing worth having is easy.
Exchange a bad habit with a good habit.6 -
Drink water-64oz min.
Track all my meals today.
20 min walk with daughter & dog as soon as the weather breaks.
Gym-weight machines.
Cleaning house-my decluttering has really taken off!
Read today's Simple Abundance.
Afternoon, meditate 25 mins.
10pm bedtime-read book, no device.
Tomorrow plan for 5:50 wake up & walk.
Fitbit increased to 20,000 steps-this may be too high but I'll try.
Day 1-not going to sneak food at any point today.
Daughter & DH are going to the Pats game. DD is a huge Pats fan. Son & I are going to do something but I'm not sure what to do. There's always a movie but it w/b nice to try something different so I'll look into it. Maybe a museum or skating.
Have an awesome Saturday.

Makes me think of the saying You can't outrun a bad diet. The input is a major factor. Good job @DRBuchholzOConnell5483 wrote: »DRBuchholz wrote: »Ok so I don't remember what I posted last but I haven't been hitting my goals except staying green.

So true Sara -- This is what I need to do also!! The 2-week challenge with you! I need to break this awful habit of thinking I need to reward myself because of stress. Stress is everywhere.... no one can escape it. It is how we handle it that matters.
SO JFT, Saturday
1. when stressed out, clean one drawer
2. log ALL food
3. stop and think before eating
4. went I want to snack, wait 10 minutes. Distract myself
5. concentrate on water
6. 2-week challenge --- exchange 1 bad habit with a good habit. My bad habit is eating mindlessly --- good habit is to go and do something productive (like drawer cleaning, something that gets my mind off of eating)
7. get back on here tomorrow -- be accountable4
