Hey ladies! Love the planner ideas and I’ve been working on starting something similar myself. I started a Trello board because my opportunities to actually write things down are limited, or I end up leaving my journal in the nursery while Atlas naps or have some excuse. My phone is always with me though!

I just got back to the gym today and am trying to get serious about pelvic floor rehab. I’m going to start by doing my Hab-it exercises 3 times a week and making an appointment for my annual exam to get a professional opinion. Atlas is 9 months old and my body is really out of control. Either way I need to rein in my eating. We are doing dry January so it’s an encouraging time for me to start tracking calories again at least.

Happy 2020 everyone!

I had to have my 17 year old cat put down yesterday. She probably would have died naturally yesterday or today, but she was suffering. Losing her has been devastating to me and I completely shut down this weekend and yesterday. Having my period start on Sunday did not help. Trying to get life back on track. My husband keeps researching TTC to figure out if we need to do anything differently. The basic answer is no unless we want to delve into more serious tracking, but I should really lose weight and get back to exercising consistently

So sorry for your loss @puffbrat Losing an animal companion is such a devastating thing. I lost my 16yo dog just 3 months ago. Sending hugs your way 💕

Hey, y'all. How's everyone doing here at the end of January? Are we gonna do a February challenge next month? I'm ready to go lose some weight! In a wedding in April. I would love to trim 10 lbs off so I look like less of a purple tent in this voluminous bridesmaid dress I have to wear.

Just a quick catch up on while I've been away. Really starting to get the hang of being a parent finally. I can manage the stress a lot better than before. My body has also slowly settled down 8 months after stopping to breastfeed.

On the home reno front, it's slow. We painted trim and the front and side doors over the summer though. So our house is less of an eyesore on the outside. On the inside, we swapped sofas with my bro and got a nice dark green sofa bed in the living room for when the MIL comes to visit. She gave us a kid's bunkbed set for when Bruce outgrows his crib/toddler bed and in the hope we would have another kid.

In an effort to get outside more and fight the mommy blues, I took up deer hunting last fall and shot my first deer. It's not something I EVER would have seen myself doing before. But I found it very calming to go out at 4 am and watch the sunrise in perfect peace and quiet walking around in the woods. I learned how to clean, butcher, store and cook venison. It really boosted my self-esteem to learn new skills and be able to contribute to the household food budget too.

Work is still chugging along. We made drastic changes to our business model that seem to be helping. Maybe it's even saved our restaurant. But I'm waiting until the end of March to decide if I want to keep or sell the business.

Cheers, everyone!

What an interesting hobby @Alioth 😊
