Finally took the time to read the posts & I don't have time to respond to all the ones I'd like to! You can really sense the excitement for @Bex953172. Hope your resting and the lovely baby Casey has entered the world
.
Some of you have posted inspiring quotes-thank you.
@cschmitz110515 your post is awesome. Just to see how far you've come-be proud
Heading to Sunday School shortly so didn't walk the dogs. (We didn't get to hike yesterday b/c of unexpected rain).
Walk dogs later (in rain).
Watch video about 5x5 weight lifting program. Still looking for a good video.
Meditate 25 mins this afternoon
Drink water-64oz min.
Track all my meals today-low carb/high protein. goal 150 grams.
Self care later today.
Reorganize planner binders for Boy Scouts, Kids/school, recipes, Sunday School & more.
Visiting elderly loved ones today & delivering chicken pot pies from our church. I get stressed out b/c I'm not happy with their home care situation but I can't change it due to choices made by others. It takes me a day or two to get past the sadness/helplessness I feel. They could be doing so much better.
Promised my DD chicken wings tonight. I've never made them from scratch so I'm using a recipe I found on allrecipes.com.
Early to bed-10pm
Have a wonderful Sunday JFT gang!

Yesterday, I was having a rough day. Actually, it’s been a tough week. I still need to focus. So....

1. Go to the gym
2. Log all of my food
3. Find some time for myself
4. Have some green tea
5. Journal
Starting today, I want to change my attitude. Today I’m weighing in and consider this my day 1.
SW: 255 (Jan 2018)
CW: 239.1 (Feb 25,2018)
GW: 175
Day 1 - JFT, I will:
1. Straighten up the house
2. Plan for the upcoming week.
3. Go to Church (it’s been a while that I have physically gone)
4. Log all my food
5. Do my evening routine.
Have a great Sunday all.5 -

Not here yet but I’m pretty sure labour has started now. Lol this will probs be last post til she’s here.
It’s 3pm now. If I can give birth before 8.30 pm
Then it means the same midwife has delivered all
My babies haha x6 -
Good morning! Just hopping on to check on @Bex953172 and see how everyone is doing. Plus, I must admit, I had to read my goals for today. I wrote them last night and I never remember them the next day when I do that!
I already didn't get one of them done because I slept too late.
Have a great Sunday everyone!5 -
SO excited, and can't wait to hear from you @Bex!!! I feel like I am having a granddaughter --- we've all shared so much through your pregnancy, and that day is finally here!
Waiting to hear from you .... and see some pictures 6 -
So apparently I didn't even post any goals for saturday ... or at least I can't find them. I did good all day, but as usual, had to run to the store, came home with peeps and cadbury eggs for my daughter, and I ate them. I get so upset with myself. I guess I am not only a compulsive eater, but a compulsive shopper, at least when it comes to food.
so a new day
Sunday
1. work on quilt! Yes, I am stuffing this king size quilt in my little machine. But I got the center part done yesterday! Needless to say, house is a mess, so my next goal
2. clean the house!!!
3. laundry
4. go to the gym with hubby. Which I hate to do, because I am more a morning person. But didnt get there today, so I told him I would go with him. He stays for 3 hrs though, so I will be driving separately.
5. concentrate on water. I keep slipping on that, and I think that leads to overeating. I am most likely dehydrated. so put that red cup where I can see it, and drink up
6. in between quilting, work on chemo hats. My arms can only do so much quilting - as this quilt is heavy. so work on chemo hats
7. get back on here - be accountable
8. and ..... no snacking tonite!!6 -
Day 24 all clear
I was feeling really worn out so I took a day off from exercising, I'm not happy about it but I'm confident I'll be back at it tomorrow.
Day 25:
limit KJ
watch out for sugar and sodium
avoid gluten and dairy
Complete 2hrs on exercise bike5 -

Very excited awaiting @Bex953172 news!
Recap Sat. 2/24
1) oil change = Reschedule / so glad I called ahead / service dept compressor failed
2) walk dog = 3.55 miles around melting ice & snow in 1:01 & happy dog / happy me
Fitbit 11,771 steps, 250+ steps 6/14 hours (watched Olympics / dinner w/ hubby) & 24 floors 
3) belated Valentine's dinner with hubby & enjoy = Ate at Red Lobster and logged everything, including 2 cheddar biscuits and dessert we shared. Totally worth it! Fortunately, I ate late breakfast, snack after dog walk, and no lunch, so that limited the damage of dinner. In the past, I would've eaten lunch too (oh my!), plus ordered an adult beverage. RED numbers: net calories -1,138 (ack!) / sodium -2,011 (double ack!!!) / sugar -11. 
Fiber so-so, protein excellent & 12c water (not counting iced tea unsweet).
4) floss / retainers
JFT Sun. 2/25 - Rain & sleet last night made roads ice rinks once again. Couldn't get my car up driveway and into garage after church this morning. Plus wind advisory until 3p.m. with gusts up to 40-50 mph. So no dog walk today. Sad dog & sad me.
1) Bible class / church
2) Treadmill
3) Net calories green / >12c water to flush sodium
4) At least 1-2 items on to-do list
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (treadmill M a.m. before work)
@toaljasa Love your reference to The Music Man!
@saragirl2 Thank you! If I can do this, so can you! (((hugs)))5 -
Still no news lol. Getting fed up now and don’t feel like I’m progressing much further than I’ve got.
Still getting mild contractions and my back is so sore. But they check me after 6 hours which is any time from now.
*sigh* 6pm here and I’ve been here since 9.30 so 8 and a half hours ..
Hopefully if I’m dilated at all they will break my waters, then hopefully it will really get things going. Although in previous pregnancies I’ve progressed way further that this (to 8cm) before they had to do it because they simply
Would not go themselves lol!

Thank you for all your well wishes so far lol x3

So I am at an airport. Missed my 10 am, flight have to wait for a 6 pm flight. Logged on looking for news from @Bex953172 .... I guess the news is that I am not the only one on a delay today. :laugh: Prayers for some movement on your end dear Bex.5

OK @Bex --- I'm like a grandmother on pins and needles waiting to hear some news!! Get that little baby moving!! Can you walk the halls or something. Anyhow, just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you, and hope you are doing OK, and very anxious to hear some wonderful news! Take care dear Bex! Maybe you can get a little rest.5 -

I’ve been walking most the day as I’ve not been able to get comfy at all!
I’m on a monitor again now. They’ve confirmed im contracting but not enough. Next stage is to see if they can break my waters. I’m hoping that starts the labour off so I can avoid a hormone drip
Induction was so much easier with Marley! I had given birth by now with her!7 -

I feel the same way! hahaha! Like a grandma or something. Never been so excited and anxious to hear about a baby that I wasn't related to before! LOL! 6 -

Oh no - nothing worse than sitting waiting at the airport (except for maybe sitting in the hospital waiting for a baby!). Hope you get on your flight soon, and have safe travels!4 -
Argh they were minutes away from assessing me and they just got a call saying a 27 weeker lady is coming in. Not sure what’s going on with her (could be preterm labour or whatever).
I’m so peed off. I feel sorry for the lady of course but can’t help feel annoyed when I’ve been here all day!!!7 -
So I haven’t had the chance to jump on here the last two days to set my daily goals and guess what, I ate more than I should have !
I’m going to redeem myself so i figured it’s best I set for tomorrow’s goal now.
- eat within macros
- lift
- C25K
- Drink 2 litres of water
- Apple cider vinegar in the morning
- 10k steps
- Burn at least 2200 calories
I met most of my goals yesterday except C25K, and drinking 2 litres of water. I totally forgot the water !
For today :
-eat within macros
-drink 2 litres of water
-Apple cider vinegar
-lift
-10k steps
-C25K
-burn at least 2200 calories
