Had a really nice family day so not sweating the goals I did not meet. I do need to get back into enrichment games for the dog since outside time is minimal. I have a few habits id liken to incorporate and refresh, that being one, and also breathing and stretching techniques. Im going to purchase a video called "spinning babies" which is designed specifically to get baby into a good laboring position and ready mom for a comfortable birth. My only real birth plan right now is to be as ready and healthy as possible for a natural birth, but also be open to any interventions and pain management needed. DH is working til 5 now, long days 6am-5pm but that gives me 30 minutes of alone time to focus on exercises and meditation.

I think that is the best birth plan ever. Honestly, I think it's good to have an idea for one but just remember it's probably not going to go as planned lol!
Ive seen where women have planned it to every detail and when it's gone completely off their ideal plan it's upset them in a way? Which I get, but there's kind of no planning for it, there's no knowing what could happen apart from the fact that one way or another, a baby is coming out lol!
So being open to interventions and pain reliefs is good, kind of a go-with-the-flow birth plan! Which sounds like you have!

I hope you don't mind me talking about it too much, I just love babies haha

No way, i dont mind at all! I love and appreciate your insights and opinions! Its nice to have someone to talk to about it. I was working with one lady who has a 3 year old but shes been since been laid off and youre my only other mom friend my age really!

Oo goodie!
My 3 year old Marley is an absolute devil child ATM.
I went in with the go with the flow attitude and everything that happened I wouldn't have even thought of! In every pregnancy. So I'm glad o didn't have a plan lol!!

J4T / Sunday

• Journal every bite - good, bad & ugly
• Drink 80+ oz of water Almost! Better than normal, so it's kind of a win?
• 15 minutes of cardio
• 15 minutes of strength training
• Prep for tomorrow: clothing / lunchbag packed / Binder updated for new provider tomorrow
• UNPLUGGED SUNDAY except MFP
• Bed early with evening routine: Skin care / Gratitude journal / DO reading / JM podcast / SA daily reading / pick a book to read (still haven't found a new book to read yet...). Most of it. Still haven't picked out a new book to read yet though.

I feel bad we have to start the Discard 5 lb challenge over, because I did go back up 2 lbs. I had a feeling it was water weight that would come back on when I ate crappy at the Tailgate party we had at work. Sorry!

I'm working with a new provider at a clinic all day today and probably tomorrow also. It throws off my eating habits so it's been a bit of a challenge. I usually pack a lunch and eat at my desk. Today I had to run out, so instead of going for fast food, I ran home and grabbed a few things out of the fridge and chuffed those down. Malt o Meal hot cereal; carrot and celery with hummus, and mixed nuts. Grabbed an apple that I sliced up and threw in a baggy for a snack later.

I watched a documentary on Netflix this weekend that was really interesting. It was about the effects of eating meat for protein versus eating plant based foods to get nutrients. I cannot think of the name of it, but wondered if anyone else saw it and what your thoughts were if you did... Do we have anyone on here who doesn't eat meat? I don't know how a person could possibly get enough protein without eating meat but it intrigued me enough (the results) that I'm curious to learn more now.

Hoping to get outside tonight with Maddie for a nice evening walk. I don't like walking in the dark, but I bought some accessories to hang on her collar and put on my shoes and jacket that light up and blink so cars can see us and my husband is getting me a head lamp to wear over my hat so I can see, so we'll see.

Anyhow, JFT Goals are:

@Bex953172 , yes tell yourself the day can only get better

Apologies if this is insensitive, I don't know your family's back story. Does Ash not help you with the children? Why would he phone you instead of seeing to Casey himself?

@littleblackskirt I agree with what the others have already said. Looking after aging parents can be very difficult. The emotions you are feeling are entirely natural, so please do not add guilt to your burden. Vent here if you need to let off steam. Coming here is a positive step as it can focus your mind on keeping fit and healthy. As for weight loss, slow is good, as the weight loss is more likely to be sustainable.

@PackerFanInGB What Bex said. Our rules say first past the post. Lol! 🥇🏆 🎉🍾🥂 Congratulations 🏆🥇🥂🍾🎉 on losing the 5lbs fair and square. What happens after is irrelevant. 😂 Weight bounces up and down all the time. You are doing so well. 😍 that you ran home for healthy food! And great idea about the lights for night walking. I have been amazed the last couple of weeks at how difficult it is to see people when driving, especially in all the heavy rain we have been getting. Roughly whereabouts in GB are you? I'm just outside Belfast in NI

@mytime6630 Lovely photos. Best wishes to son and his new wife.

I'm so impressed with the way people keep coming back here day after day. Kudos for taking such a positive step.
I think you all deserve 🌟⭐️🌟 Superstar 🌟⭐️🌟 Status for tenacity.

It's a dull grey day. Looking forward to my Patchwork Group this morning.

I love the 5 lb Challenge. It has helped me lose over 15lbs in 3 months!

Tuesday 12 November

Log accurately
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg
WATER
Fitbit exercise goals
Attend to Happy scale trend - be below maintenance

Not in the morning, tbh it's best to let her cry it out in the morning because she always goes sleep. I just can't leave her on her own downstairs when I take the girls to school. It's not so bad when markets there too.
Cause of his disorders, he just needs to get rest and then he'll be fine for the day, but if he has to get up he'll be in a foul mood all day so we agreed that I would do it every morning. Sounds weird but I'd rather him be able to help me through the day than not at all.
I can get up early, I might be grumpy because I am NOT a morning person but I can deal with it lol!
