    My partner signed us up for a gym membership today!

    I’m unsure on whether to go just yet..
    I would love to go for a swim but can’t for women’s reasons :sweat_smile: (obviously)

    But it means I can use the gym, but then I’m worried because since baby has been born I smell of milk, my tops always have milk on them and basically I’d hate for a milk incident to happen when I’m there. And I don’t like the thought of running up a sweat and I can’t even go in the steam room/sauna afterwards!

    However my partner says it will do me good.


    Also, the pump does work better!
    Only managed 2oz but more than before. Going to have to start doing it more to stockpile so I won’t worry about going to the gym because OH can feed her

    *sigh* I dunno

    @missheidi Oh no! That's sucky! I've been doing yoga for a few months now and I'm a bit hesitant to try an intermediate class/video. I hope you didn't hurt yourself.

    no, didn't hurt myself. i kept up ok, it was just challenging.

    btw, did you know that if you are dehydrated, they can dig and dig in your arm, but no blood will come?

    When my employer holds annual Health Risk Assessments, we are always reminded to be hydrated for the blood draws.

    *sigh* well today was just blah. I spent 3 hours doing a research report for an online side job I was trying to get and it all came to nothing. Oh well. At least it was only 3 hours. It was a stupid topic I had to research and write a report about. How many beauty salons in the US offer hair coloring services? Seriously? I knew the answer but I had to find proof and statistics to back up my answer. It was annoying.

    I came back from the gym about 45 minutes ago. It is currently 5:45. I've eaten dinner already and have until 8 for the Pens game to start. I wish the DH opened this morning instead of closing. I get lonely when he isn't home. I get kind of tired of him when he is home for 4 days straight but I do really miss him when he's at work. It's easier to while away 9 hours in the morning then it is 9 hours in the afternoon/evening. By about 8 I run out of things to do. Lol. I know there are things I SHOULD be doing, but I just can't seem to make myself do them. At least I made it to the gym. I'm gonna try to psych myself up to get up and do a yoga video.

    Idk. I guess I'm just kind of bummed tonight. Anyway, sorry for the rambling.

    I've never been much on an emotional eater, but tonight I was. There has been a dark chocolate cake with peanut butter icing sitting in my fridge since Sunday. Usually, I can withstand it. But it was screaming my name after I typed that last post. I think eating dinner at the table by myself made me sad. So I made the decision to have a piece. It was bigger then it looked when I cut it(not an excuse, I know.) And it ended up making me pretty sick for a while. I'm okay now, but it's not even 8 yet and I'm bored and lonely. The DH probably won't get home for at least another 2.5 hours. I read the next chapter in Becks Diet Solution and picked out my 2 plans and stuck response cards to most of the walls in my house. At least the walls I tend to stare at while doing things around the house(i.e. bathroom mirror, above the kitchen sink, next to coffee maker, fridge door, the cover of my laptop). I'm hoping that those work. I know the power of Cognitive Therapy. It is what has helped me get over two addictions and several destructive mindsets that come with my illness. I'm just feeling incredibly hopeless tonight. I did a gratitude meditation for about fifteen minutes too. That didn't seem to help either.

    13. Drop off book at library :DIt was literally a half mile away. But I would have had to battle downtown traffic at rush hour. So I nixed that. I'll do it tomorrow after my needle appt.
    14. Dinner(leftovers)/Dishes :)Had leftover shepherds pie. It was pretty yummy reheated. I still have to do the dishes. In fact, I'm going to get up and do them as soon as I'm done with this.
    15. Church meeting :/I realized that I had been to this particular meeting before and I just wasn't up to it
    16. Heat up food for DH for when he gets home :)I'll do this at about 10:15 depending on what time he leaves work.

    Hate having kids sometimes, not having them as such but the fact they always give me their damn colds!!
    I feel like I’m forever poorly with something, then when I’m over that I get ill with something else

    I’ve got a cough now, but it’s a dry non-productive cough so basically gives me a pounding headache. Which gets worse with every cough

    Baby wouldn’t stop feeding which weirdly makes the headache worse but OH fed her that 2oz I expressed before. Which she downed in about a minute! Hooray 1 mins rest for me!

    Need to sleep ASAP:(

    @frenchfancy2014 I wish I could go to London! If only I had the money. I would love to go and visit all of my UK friends and spend a couple days in Scotland(where my relatives are from).

    Hey @hgsmith0920 hang in there. Like the idea of sticking up cards on walls. I’m looking at my three sizes smaller dress hanging up as I lie in bed and imagining the coming summer day I’m wearing it

    Boredom can be so destructive...at least it can be for me. Here are some things I do: write a note to someone---maybe your godmother???? and tell her all the things you appreciate about her! Write in a gratitude journal---free-write all the many blessings and things you are thankful for. I end up realizing how blessed I am over relatively small things that become pretty darn big ones (like an ink pen!). Get creative! Make a wordcloud. You can do this by hand if you are really creative or you can google one to make on the computer...I think I used wordart.com...not sure. So, I did my word for the year---actually it's two words: stand firm. So that was my large word. And then I added what will happen if I Stand Firm. I will be thinner, healthier, patient, stronger, victorious, etc. etc. So you could take your husband's name, for example and then come up with words that represent him: strong, handsome, overcomer, etc. It's a lot of fun and you can put them in all kinds of shapes. And the word generator I used, I could print it out (for freeee!). Anyway, sorry for the novel...just wanting to turn you a way from boredom and possible destruction :)

    @toaljasa I took your advice and created a wordcloud for my word this year which is growth. It's pretty awesome looking! And thank you for your tip about gratitude lists. That is something that I am trying to add more of into my life. And I think when the DH closes his store on Friday I will write a few actual letters to my Mom and Godmom and mail them. I think that that will be much more heartfelt than an email. I'm actually really excited to do that! Thank you so much for the suggestions!

    Yes. I had this when I had an operation in July... You're not allowed to drink beforehand so when they tried to take a blood sample nothing happened! They ended up taking it out of my hand, which was not nice...
