I'm such in a pissed mood. Is there such a thing as a post menstrual syndrome?
I'm tired and angry at the scale that don't move and irritated by SO'S lack of drive to do the never ending chore's list while he is again spending the afternoon playing hockey with his friends.
And I have to go to my friend's tonight for a BBQ but I want to go to yoga and I have another party tomorrow and I'm just not wanting to bring Arthur to these events. MOTY
And I'm tired of being broke. And I feel like I'm not a good person right now. Being jealous of other people and not being there for other people and just plain sucking. And I'm anxious as hell regarding my return to work.
Anyway - I just needed to let it out a little
Oh hello twin. Except the work part I'm already there but still poor as fuck. I wish we could twin life at an amazing time. Vent away since we are apparently living parallel lives in just going to +1 this and not type it out myself. Hugs and all the wines.
I had all the sangria tonight and I'm in a much better mood haha

I must be insane. Both my kids have been asleep since 7pm. I just went in and tried to dream feed Henry at 9:15 pm because I was having weird hormonal feelings of "my baby is growing up and we will be weaning soon, waaaah." Note: we usually do not dream feed & he STTN without it, so this was a crazy stupid move. Logical me is looking forward to weaning, and we are already cutting back the number of nursing & pumping sessions. But hormonal me just wanted a sweet, quiet moment of closeness with my baby without him being all distracted as he usually is these days.
Then of course the dream feed turned into "What, mama's here? Party time!" And I spent half an hour getting him back down. Somebody slap me.
Me (37) + DH (39) BFP #1: DS born July 2011 BFPs #2,3,4,5: Four losses from Nov 2013-Nov 2014. Yeah, that sucked. BFP #6: 1/5/15 - Rainbow baby boy born 9/16/15

I do think there tend to be a lot of feels going on for mamas as a baby approaches one. Some of it is straight up emotional, but I really think hormones are involved too. If I hadn't had a glass of wine and a Benadryl a little while ago I'd Google the science on that shit. But now I'm too tired.

sorry you're feeling bad buddy you're such an amazing supportive friend to all of us!!
Re: the scale not moving, I've found that my biggest weight loss success comes when I am diligent about tracking my food. Even though it's a pain in the ass.
Sometimes I feel like I am eating healthy but those sneaky calories get in there and really add up. Stupid stuff like coffee cream or salad dressing or added cheese, those are the things that I really need to watch.
Yeah, I know all this I really want to start tracking food again but I have an obsessive personality and this is a little triggering for me.
I'm taking the weekend to celebrate Quebec holiday and then I'll figure something out on Monday
Maybe a different way of tracking food that wouldn't get all detailed? I like Argus because it allows you to take photos of your meals/snacks, as well as track water, exercise and other things if you want. It's like an info-graphic for your day which helps with accountability but doesn't let me obsess. Just a suggestion
