Today is a pretty normal Monday for us. I got through my C25K run today. I focused on my breathing better and it really helped.
I'm going to try a new recipe for dinner. Fathead pizza dough. It's a low carb pizza crust. If it works out I will make half bbq pork and half traditional cheese.
My Texas bff’s husband and almost 2yo came down with the stomach bug Saturday, so our weekend went differently than expected. Fortunately, we were staying in a hotel (unfortunately it’s because their house still isn’t liveable from flood damage during Imelda) so FX none of us get it. We ended up keeping my “niece” all Saturday evening while BFF took care of the sickies, so at least we got good time with her & made things a little easier on my friend.
Grocery shopping today and RE tonight. Not much to report. The pizza I made was good but it tastes like every other low carb bread item. Very distinctive I think due to the almond flour. I guess I thought it would be different for some reason. But it worked well enough!
I am not seeing any difference on the scale lately. Still up 7 lbs from the Summer, so mad at myself for that. I started uping my water intake today to see if that gets things moving. I guess I thought doing the c25k would make the lbs melt off...haha stupid me. It's never been easy for me. So far the scale has barely changed. Also, the I'm "gaining muscle thing" my husband is saying is bull because it's not like I am at a normal weight - I need to lose weight 1st. Grrrr! Rant over.

Have you looked into intuitive eating? There is a book on it and some great dieticians on social media. Dieting is so hard especially in our society which has some seriously flawed expectations of what healthy is. I have read into the intuitive eating and it's a lot about changing our views on food and ourselves but I think it could be valuable for you.
dreemkin I second aggiebug about the intuitive eating. Its got some great info and has really started to change my viewpoint about food and my weight.
Today was a little stressful. The boys went to a new sitter since my mom is out of town and my usual helpers were unavailable. It went well, and it was my best friend's sitter, so not someone unknown, but it still was making me nervous.
A old friend of mine from high school had a baby yesterday. It's a little boy and I can't wait to meet him. It's been a long road for the parents, and I'm so glad that everything went well with the delivery.
Hey hey. Last night's book club went late but it was good. There were just there of us but we chatted a long time about the book and life. ,☺️
My neighbor invited us to a children's Yom Kippur service this morning. It was a great experience for all three of us. I had want to get books from the library about it but didn't manage to. It still went well and I think S got a bit out if it, and soaked some great discussion.
G threw up twice after dinner tonight. His teacher says there’s a 24 hour bug going around. I hope it’s quick & no one else gets sick because we’ve got less than 40 hours til we fly to cali.
aggiebug the yom kippur service sounds really nice.
dreemkin sorry you’re struggling with the numbers on the scale
kartish congrats to your friend! Why is it that everyone seems to have troubles having babies lately...?? I hope it's smooth sailing for them now.
Thanks for the suggestion with the intuitive eating. I'm going to read a bit more about it, but I feel like I do a lot of those things already. However, if I was normal BMI I wouldn't worry so much about the scale number. I just don't think I'm at a normal weight for my body. But I have been drinking a lot more tea and water the last few days and it has been helping. I also snack on a few almonds throughout the day and that seems better than the pumpkin seeds. Anyway just rambling now lol.
aggiebug what a great learning experience! lilyelayne oh no! Hope it clears up soon. Are you going to Cali for a vacation?!

Hey I totally get it. Food can be so hard. A friend has gone to see a RD and even a therapist for this among other things and I can see the difference in her. She is not within recommended BMI at this point, but she is changing in so many ways at once I am happy for her. You are a kick ass momma and person and I just want you to feel that way right where you are AND as you work on you.
Today C was the epitome of three if there ever was a day, and we are still a month out. So help me. Here's hoping a nap improves his attitude because he has swim lessons tonight.
It's my birthday. I'm older yay *sarcasm" Actually just a normal day here otherwise. N has Irish Dance tonight so we will be celebrating tomorrow by going out to eat with local family. H and girls are making me a dessert today that I requested - cookie dough cheesecake. It is a normal cheesecake except it has a cookie crust and balls of cookie dough dropped in the filling *drool* oh yeah and hot fudge drizzled on top. I've never had it, it just sounded amazing so we will see tomorrow.
Going to work out now...on my birthday 😒 ...and it's going to pour here all day. Oh well! It's Friday (my fav day of the week!)!!
Thanks aggiebug! That's sweet! And oh my the threenager stage (don't miss that haha). Hope his nap helped!
Lol it helped my sanity for a few hours 😂. He had both of us so done by bed time. H was sooo impatient I was like dude this has been me all day I need your patients to last a little longer.
It's cooooold here today so not ready for being outside like this. Maybe in a month or so but it was 70 yesterday it makes 40 hard to handle I need time to adjust 😄.
Well our trip to California to see my sister & BIL is all messed up. Our first flight this morning got cancelled. AA couldn’t reschedule us until Sunday, even including airports within a 6 hour drive. So now we’re going Sunday-Wed, but my sister has a mandatory all day work training Tuesday so it’s a super terrible trade for missing Saturday.

Happy (late) birthday dreemkin i hope your birthday dinner was fun and the cheesecake was as delicious as it sounds!
lilyelayne sorry for the travel troubles, thats a bummer to miss out on tone with your sister
Went to a zombie 5k with my sister last night. My mom was supposed to go but she is still traveling so I took her bib instead. It turned out to be really fun, but my hip is bothering me this morning. The zombies all had fake blood and would run up and leave an imprint on the race shirt if they caught you. Which is probably why my hip hurts, from running after a jump scare, lol.

That sounds hilarious and fun. Sorry your house hurts though
I'm going to whine a bit sorry. This week has been exceptionally rough. I have had a migraine all week. I never had migraines with the other pregnancies so this is new and really really sucky. I have a feeling it has to do with.how mine are changing and not a good omen for after pregnancy. It also really sucks because drugs are so limited. I can still take my naproxen but it is stressful even if the doctor laid out the safety information for me.
So I am miserably nauseated, have a migraine, referred pain in my shoulder from said migraine and no end in sight. The family had really been great especially H he is freaking amazing but I hate it. I just want to enjoy a beautiful day with my family. Not to mention clean my house for our to coming house guests (my parents which I have to clean up more for than pretty much anyone else because my mom is whacky).
Thanks for listening back to reality scheduled programming
My fam is coming over tomorrow for a "chili day" since the girls have off. Since I wouldn't be able to get to the gym I went this morning! I can't believe that I ran for 3 min intervals with only 0.5 minute walks in between. It wasn't even sooo bad! I'm very proud of myself for this non scale victory. Unfortunately after that I've been having bowel issues the rest of the day. I think it's due to the massive amount of not healthy food I ate Saturday. I normally try not to take Imodium but I said F it and have now taken a second one since the first only seemed to help a little! Hope I'm feeling okay for tomorrow!
aggiebug that is rough, I'm sorry your dealing with all that. I hope you can get some relief soon.
dreemkin hope you are feeling better today! And way to go on the C5k success!
My hip is much better today, thank goodness. I went to a baby shower yesterday afternoon gor a friend, she's due the first week of November but she had had a few complications, so may be induced early. I'm praying that everything goes smoothly and that mom and baby can stay healthy.

. She is so close! Hopefully anything now will end in a successful delivery.
Whining helped. My head is much better today, fingers crossed that is the end of that malarkey. Nausea not so much but hey beggars can't be choosers. I expected the nausea for another 10 weeks so while not fun it's easier to deal with.
