If you need to rest, then rest. I'm so glad that you dont have to manage the team! That's awesome! What kind of business does your husband own?
Thank you My research team does understand, the problem is me! I have high standards and hold my self more accountable than others do. (It can be a flaw sometimes bc it causes stress.)
My hubby owns an industrial business that specializes in multiple trades of building, construction (commercial and residential) and some other building related entities. It can be complicated to explain bc his company incorporates a lot of businesses. He is excellent at what he does, he just knows I'm better at the "office-work." So when he sees an opportunity to snag my help, he does, Lol!! It is endearing that he appreciates my input. But our marriage is strong bc he and I have different career interests. We work well together but we are also too much a like and but-head's sometimes.5 -

I am so very thrilled for you. That was not an easy feat. If my mom were alive she would be doing a happy dance for you. Although after smoking for over 60 years, she did quit. Unfortunately she still died of lung cancer...she had just smoked for too many years. A very harsh way to die. You quit while you are still young! You are reaping so many rewards and blessings for your determination.5 -
I am loving this feed. You guys are awesome. Please add me to this group and as a friend. Thank you.6

UPDATE: (no she’s not here yet)
Got my induction brought forward! So instead of Next Thursday on the 1st March I’m actually having her this Sunday!
Or hopefully as long as there isn’t too many other women giving birth that day!
However I’m also having a sweep (I hope you know what this is because I do NOT want to explain ) but anyway that can help start things off naturally as it stimulates hormone production. And that’s on Thursday this week!
So if I go naturally after this sweep then I’ll go in, if not it will be Sunday/Monday!
Finally at the end
And thank god because my pelvic pain is so bad now. I keep getting stuck in the bath and if I get on the floor I can’t get up again8 -

Late posting today, due to 2 hour delay starting work (icy roads), then webinar at noon. Already have two goals to check off!

My sweet tooth bit me, and net calories, sodium & sugar red, fiber / protein good & 14c water.
4) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:30 = Nope bc I was updating MFP food diary...ack! / done / done / nope bc hubby was home for once so I didn't mind

2) Paced 3,338 steps in office during noon webinar

So my JFT for Sunday will be “don’t have a panic attack in labour”5 -

I had to look up what a sweep is. Interesting. I never heard of that. Of course I stopped making babies about 22 years ago.
Why panic? You know what's going to happen and look at the good results you have gotten to date. Two little darlings. You don't need to be fearful, you have a great track record!3 -

Haha I don’t know, I think I fear the pain over everything. I just get a feeling that I suddenly can’t do it haha
I’ve been watching some hypnobirthing though so might even play it whilst in labour to keep me concentrating on being calm!
I think this is the most nervous I’ve been! After one bad labour and one good I’m dreading if this will be good or bad, but statistics seem to say that because I’ve birthed before it should be easier but there’s just no knowing!
Last baby so gotta give it my best go!

Oh my goodness, @Bex953172 I know it didn't go fast for you, but I can't believe it's here already! I'm so excited for you! @junodog1 I had to look up what a sweep was too! But my baby is 35, so....they didn't do ultrasounds or anything back then.
I will be thinking about you over here! Let us know when she's here (when you have time, of course!) sending you big hugs! (((BEX)))2 -

I looked through 4 pages of posts, and I guess I never even set any goals for today. But .... I had a great day. I guess after having a couple of totally out of control eating, at least I am back on track again, well, at least for today I was.
1. Drank 8 glasses of water (I know, because I counted 2 at each meal, and drank 2 tonite)
2. Got the towels appliqued and ready for grandsons birthday
3. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill, and also to the spinning class!!! OMG -- My legs still hurt! I loved the class, but I tend to get nauseaus when I overdo it. Not sure if its because I have low blood pressure or what. But I went and sat for awhile, and came back in and finished the class. A great workout! And I was proud of myself, because this morning I hit the snooze 3 times before going. But I always set it ahead of time --- I just had to rush out the door faster!
4. and logged all food
I guess @Bex is going to be pretty busy this week , so I best behave myself!!! I told myself last year I would be at goal weight when @Bex has her baby girl. Well, I guess thats not going to happen. But I can't wait to hear from you after you have that sweet little baby girl!! You are going to do great!
My goals for tomorrow, try and have a repeat of today.
1. Remember how awful I feel when I eat crap!
2. Make a list of what I want to accomplish - this always helps me get more done
3. finish pinning the king size quilt
4. concentrate on 8 glasses of water
5. log all food - stay under 1400 cal. But better yet, make my choices healthy
6. get back on here... be accountable.4 -

13. DH time See above
14. Dinner/Dishes Improvised some of the dinner and it turned out GREAT/Frying pan is soaking. Will do before bed
15. Finish sewing pocket Will do tomorrow...hopefully
16. Bed by 11pm Well considering it is currently 11:02...
So it was a strange night for me last night. I am still trying to process the info I found out. Turns out that MIL has had cancer for a while. We have no idea what kind. No one told us. But it has spread and she does not have long left. My DH has a kind of love/hate relationship with her, but anyone losing there Mommy is rough. My DH likes to run away from feelings, especially concerning his family. It's going to take him a long time after she is ultimately gone, for him to come to terms with it. My issue is that I haven't lost a family member or even someone relatively close to me in about 20 years, definitely not as an adult. So I have no idea how to feel or what to feel right now. I have an awesome relationship with my Mom(It took a lot of work and a lot of forgiveness on both our parts, though.) and I can't imagine what it would be like to lose her. So I have all of these really odd feelings inside of me that I dont know what to do with. I think I might schedule an appointment with my old therapist and talk to her about it. It was just a kind of surreal night last night. The news still affected me this morning, hence why I didn't go to the gym or make the phone calls. While I was waiting for the time that I could leave for M's house, I just kind of sat there listlessly, definitely not in a good frame of mind. M made me see some things from a slightly different perspective and that helped a little but I am still kind of at a loss. Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I just wanted to let you know what's going on in case I am not my usually upbeat self.
Tomorrows list is going to be relatively short and easy. The DH has the day off and it's supposed to be beautiful out so we are going to use it as a rest day. Hang out in bed, maybe play some catch in the yard, maybe a bike ride. Things like that. Oh! Since I've started cooking and making him lunches again, the DH has lost 10 lbs! That's only in 30 days! It is amazing! Lol. So maybe he won't have as terrible time losing his weight as I thought!
Anyway!
JFT, 2/21/18

2. Up whenever
3. Laundry(if up early and before DH)
4. Breakfast

7. Lunch
