Not posting goals today. We received news this morning that my husband's younger brother passed away in a motorcycle accident last night. It's been a very quiet, solemn and heartbreaking day. I'll try to hop on tomorrow and get with the program again. Tonight is just for consoling my honey.

@Bex953172 I'm doing good on your quilt! I forgot to answer you a few days ago. it's coming right along. It is going to be the size of a twin size bed though...sure isn't a tiny baby quilt!

So very sorry for your loss and my heart breaks for your DH. I would be beside myself if something happened to my little brother.

My heart goes out to you too, Mary, and for your loss, also, Bex.

@PackerFanInGB - I’m so very sorry. It must be very hard to console your partner through a shocking loss like that. Wishing you lots of strength and patience x

@Bex953172 - petition signed. It’s a really important cause and I hope you have success with it. I used to work in lobbying and wonder if you’ve met your local MP to talk about it? August is generally a quieter time in politics so if you’re up for it try and make an appt with him or her and ask if they can raise it in Parliament. They work for you so no harm in trying!

Hugs to those struggling - seems a lot of sadness at the moment. I’m thinking of you all x

I wouldn't even know what to say lol!
It's not a petition I've created, someone else did but it speaks to me a lot (obviously)

It's a bit of a taboo though isn't it, when people lose babies in these circumstances so I dunno.
I wouldn't even know what I'd say to the local MP.

This thread needs a little bit of funny, I think, so let me tell you about my silly thing that happened today. (Possible TMI warning.)

I have been snacky and craving sweets and super tired for almost a week now. Sleeping like the dead, waking up tired and hungry and grouchy and just wanting to Eat All The Things, Especially Sweet Ones.

Which is very much unlike me, as I am a salty/savory girl all the way. I even posted about it on my mfp status because it was so weird. Most of you can probably see where this is going, but I was completely oblivious.

Then today, backache and I'm super uncomfortable at work, and finally when they ask if anyone wants to leave early, I do, because I'm just so miserable. I eat pizza for dinner, get home, and dive into the non-dairy ice cream and suddenly, bingo...Flo. I can't believe I didn't see it coming as I had EVERY symptom imaginable, but I get them so seldom that it wasn't even on my radar. Blinding moment of clarity and I had to giggle at my own obtuseness.

Thanks for the smile!!! Sorry for your visitor. My doctor and I talked about weight loss on Thursday when I saw her. She said it’s almost impossible for women to lose weight the week leading up to their cycle. I can’t remember exactly how she worded it, but basically our colons tighten up and tries to hold onto everything at the same time I hormones go crazy trying to help us get all the nutrients we can so we eat constantly.

@PackerFanInGB I'm so so sorry for your loss! I don't know how I would handle if I lost my brother. Hold onto your husband like your lives depend on it

@maryrobinson40 I'm glad you have a bit more time with your brother. Cherish it.

Both of you are in my prayers.

So I have no idea what's wrong with me. Flo is a week late. I've been randomly nauseous. My back hurts. I've been eating like a maniac. But I just took a test and it came back negative. If I don't get a visit in a few more days I guess I'll take another test. I really don't like the nausea. It makes me feel so uncomfortable.

Idk. This weekend had been good so far but I've been really tired. I guess I've been tired for a while now actually. And it's not like I don't get enough sleep!

I am going to set a few goals though.

1. Attempt to log food
2. Finish laundry
3. Takes out trash
4. Finish dishes
5. Burgers for dinner
6. Shower/teeth/face by 930
7. Tech off by 1015
8. Lights out by 11
