I did well last week. I was able to not give in to the urge to work out more, and I am actually doing less walking now. My exercise is walking for 60 min, 4 days a week instead of 7 days. This partly ties into my other goal which was to stay calm at my OB appt. I was able to stay calm and not freak out mainly because the scale showed I didn't gain any weight this past month. That HAS to be impossible because I feel my belly bump getting heavier and my hips getting wider. My OB says that the baby definitely is growing so the lack of weight gain must be because my metabolism is speeding up to accommodate baby. I guess I will have to push myself to keep down more meals and snacks. I kept down 6 meals instead of 7 because I got anxious about not working out. For this week:

Goal 1: Do not pick fights with DH
Short or long term? long
Why is it important? I feel like I take tiny things that my DH does or says to the extreme and make a big deal out of nothing. I take things very personally and am super defensive and that usually gets both of us angry and sends me into a panic attack.
How am I going to accomplish it? Take deep breaths before I speak or walk out of the room if I feel like I am going to start something.

Goal 2: Have breakfast every day, at least 350 cals.
Short or long term? short
Why is it important? I've been pushing this goal for the weekend when I know DH will be home so I won't have any excuses to throw up, and I want to get into a more balanced routine of eating.
How am I going to accomplish it? Have a weekly meal plan for breakfast and eat slowly.
