@AJB1014 I wanted to ask, you're about 18 weeks now? Have you felt any kicks yet?
Thanks for thinking of me! I just had my 20 week anatomy scan and found out were having a boy!!! I also found out i have an anterior placenta, so its on the front of my belly instead of behind baby. No serious risk to it but it acts as a bit of a cushion so i haven't felt too much movement yet. Hes pretty active on the ultrasound and doplar though so hopefully soon! We actually saw him yawn at the last scan and it was the cutest thing ive ever seen!!!8 -
I have budgeted my food for today
I have exercised
I will drink water
I have finished today's Bible study
I have journaled
In the lesson from the Bible study some of us started yesterday, it talked about counting the cost and having to give up (sacrifice) something we love in order to be successful.
Giving up late-night snacking; daily cocktails; warm bed to go for a walk in the early morning, giving up something tasty so that I can stay within my food tracking... It reminded me of the quote I put on here sometimes...
69 days until we get a new word for the year! Let's start putting our 2019 one into good use and heave-ho!!
Peace and joy!

Back from a 2 week unplanned hiatus. We celebrated my 30th birthday for a while! Lots of food and family and a trip to portland, maine for more incredible food. Im feeling so loved and happy with where I am at in life at 30...just where I have always hoped to be!!!
Back to the real world finally though. Packing lunches, cooking at home, and being reasonable with my choices. Ive gained about 15 lbs so far, so I'm back in the 200 club, but I'm feeling okay with it. Its been slow and steady gain. I have some lower back pain after 8 hours on my feet at work, but nothing super crazy. I feel really lucky with how ive felt so far and will try my best to continue being my healthiest for baby and me!4 -

Oh that's wonderful! Ah yeah an anterior might take longer to feel kicks, although when he gets bigger you'll feel them all over the place! (Just wait for the bladder kick.. you'll know it when you feel it LOL)
The weirdest feeling is the "roll" lol they don't kick they just roll and it feels super weird lol!!
Do you have any ideas for names?
I love the boy outfits too!! They're so cute!!
Lol at Saskias scan she got herself wedged and they struggled to do measurements, she got her feet stuck at her head (imagine being stuck in a bin bum first lol!!)6 -

Attend to Happy scale trend by trying to stay below maintenance probably just below.
Today and tomorrow will be a challenge as I’m visiting my parents and they will probably want to eat out.
Mum was too tired to go out so I cooked for them. It gave my dad a rest from the cooking. Mum is hoping to feel well enough to go out for lunch tomorrow and I’ll cook the evening meal for us.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 197
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Schedule for July. ObG Oct 22 10:30. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: What's next?
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.
WFTY: Climbing. I am REALLY hoping that we get rained out tonight. I could really use a break.3 -
Recap R 10/24
1) Walked dog before work 3.58 mi 1:05:38 & stretched = happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 15,633 steps, 250+ 14/14 boom! 47 floors
3) Meals & snacks (mostly) prelogged / net cals zero / 14c water = Ack... evening snack attack of veggie straws. Think I'm not going to buy more of snack foods that I can't control, because I don't control in evenings like I used to. Net cals (est.) -119 , sodium -1,482 , sugar -8, fiber & protein ok, 12c water
4) Evening: choir 6:30 / charge LED vest / order tickets / wash dishes hubby loaded dishwasher & I ran ~ I will hand wash rest this weekend / bring in ceramic pot (forecast for hard freeze tonight) / take screen out & put in glass panel in front door / remove screen from kitchen window / plug in heated birdbath / fill containers from rain barrel / other? digital decluttering
5) UNPLUG 9:00 / floss really DID NOT want to / retainers ditto / bed & tv off 10:20 40 min. later (walk dog F before work)
JFT F 10/25 ~ Keeping my list short & simple for Friday!
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
2) Meals & snacks prelogged / stick w/ plan & no evening snacking / net cals zero / 14c water (lots of sodium this week that I really need to flush)
3) Floss / retainers
@Bex953172 Thanks for the fun facts about Orion! Tbh, I always look for the "belt" first LOL. As long as I get up early to walk dog, I try to find things to appreciate while I'm outside, and I like to look at stars this time of year.
Last night I went to bed much later than planned & I'm going out this evening, so this morning I reset alarm & did not walk dog before work. Sad dog. I'm ok with doing this on occasion, I just don't want skipping walks/workouts to become a habit. So hard for me to restart the workout habit, it's just not worth stopping. I like to keep up with workouts so I can eat more . Plus my body feels better when I'm in shape. And my clothes and wedding ring fit.
Tonight I am going to see Swan Lake by the Russian Ballet Theatre. I'm so excited! It's been years since I've seen this performed, and I know how good the ballet corps is. I am not a dancer (HA) at all, but I can appreciate the beauty, skill & grace of the performers. Have a great day, all!2 -

I saw the Integrative Medicine doctor in follow up on Wednesday, as all the labs were back. I'm low in a lot of things and my hormones and cortisol levels are almost nonexistant, which explains the fatigue, lack of concentration, memory issues, on and on and on....right down to the trouble with losing weight. So now I am on more supplements to try to turn things around naturally, and I am to eat a mostly plant-based diet, with some real lean meats. Chicken, turkey breast, fish, seafood, eggs. No sugar/No flour/No dairy. I've been doing pretty good with the no sugar and no flour...but NO DAIRY? I live in Wisconsin! It's the Dairy State of the USA! I LOVE CHEESE! Good golly, I'm gutted... So, after I pulled myself together, I realized I still get 2 "joy" meals a week and I can eat cheese or pizza or mac & cheese at that time. I think it's easier when I tell myself I can eat anything I want, I just choose not to today. I've always had that rebellious streak where the minute I am told I can't do something, it's all I want to do. (I can be sassy...some might even say I have a problem with authority! )

I was going to thank @Bex953172 for that same thing! I have to Google Orion to see which constellation that is. I'm totally not smart about things like this! But I also love a dark sky where I can look at the stars. It's harder to see them now that we live in town because of the street lights, but when we lived in the country the sky was so dark I couldn't find my way down our driveway without a flashlight! Beautiful skylit nights out there.
Thanks for this reminder. I need to stop wishing for things I don't have and begin enjoying these little things and little moments because really that is what life is made up of, isn't it?
Have a wonderful time at the Ballet! I've always wanted to see the Nutcracker. Maybe I'll go this year...

@Bex953172 I'm sorry you had such a cluster of a day with Saskia's earache, getting from one place to the other with 3 kids! You are a super woman. I don't know how you do it! I have to admit, picturing you power charging your way there with the stroller with 3 kids did make me chuckle a little because I could just imagine the words flying out of your mouth! LOL! You're an awesome mom!
@clicketykeys (HUGS) I hope you get rained out tonight too. Sounds like you could just use a little downtime! :flowerforyou:
@maryrobinson40 It makes me smile to see you posting again, my beautiful friend!

lol I love the stars!
I have a big @ss telescope lol!!
I don't always have it up but I've seen the moon up close, I tried Betelgeuse but it's kinda hard when the earth is moving lol!!
And I've seen Jupiter and it's 4 moons.
Constellations we can see here (that I'm aware of) arrrre Orion, Cassiopeia, the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper, and one my mum called the seven sisters? Don't know if that's the actual name but it's a cluster of 7 stars real close together!
Also! When you're looking at Orion's Belt, you're looking at a nebula
