I ate mindfully yesterday, even at a celebration dinner (we closed on the new house and I got some news about being a rockin' academic) but forgot my morning supplements and got no exercise other than vigorous housework. Oh well. Try again today! And this evening I am going out by myself with friends for the first time since the baby was born almost six months ago. I am so excited, it's kind of sad. :)

BWO+ this morning and sunscreen. Hoorah! Almost forgot my water yesterday but chugged it at the end of the day.

drank milk (whole- good lord!) and took my pills.

didn't exactly write, but reviewed the section that is next on my revise list, so there's that.

after my huge excitement of babybean etc doing so well, got caught up in a family drama and had the most ridiculous screaming match fight with my husband over it- we got it out of our systems and talked it out and were fine well before bed, but it still sucked. i feel bad- he is the only person (really) that i can talk to about stuff like this, and i'm the kind of person who needs to talk to process (no...) whereas he likes bullet points, problem solve and move on. honestly, i can't imagine that i am such an easy person to be married to, and i give him a lot of credit for the amount of crap that he has had to take on what with my family and all. sigh. anyway, we're fine now, but i still felt bad.

Starting fresh tomorrow, I think.

pnuts mama, I think we're twins married to twins, btw. Granted, my family is not so dramatic at the moment, but I don't know what I intend to say until I hear it as it comes back in my ears, and he needs me to know before I start whether I have a problem I need him to help me solve (and if so, bullet points, thanks!) or if it's 'just talking it out' - and in which case, he's only sorta-kinda-ish listening. He hates when it sounds like it's going to be one, and ends up the other - he paid attention thinking it was a problem, and it was nattering, or didn't pay attention to the nattering which was actually a problem-to-be-solved. Um, oops? Those are the reasons for most of our disagreements, grumping, grousing, etc. Add in pregnancy hormones, and... well, oy. I have so felt the way you feel so many times. (And I find I'm more likely to totally lose my cool coming down from relief than I am when I'm scared still.)

My resolution for a new week is going well so far. I'm on day two in a row of my breakfast smoothie with fruit, veggies, and Omega 3s. I did all five servings of veggies yesterday, and I'm well on my way today. I did not clean yesterday, but I had a bridal shower and a family dinner, so I couldn't really. Today, I'll be baking and cooking for a dinner party tonight and book club meeting on Sunday. I think I'll count that as "house work."

@JB-I totally understand the not going out with friends BY YOURSELF. We got out all the time together (with the baby, as he won't take a bottle), but I can count on one hand (probably two fingers) the number of times I've done it alone. It just doesn't even cross my mind that it's an option until too late half the time. Good for you!

Eating what will nourish me, no matter what the caloric bottom line.
Exercising every day... weight lifting ROCKS!
still spending time during the day surfing the net...

Still here, still hanging in. Still flossing, taking vitamins, and skipping the diet soda.

I feel like my success with this challenge is inspiring me to make other changes. Exactly what I'd hoped for. Thanks, Moxie!

I agree with how to resolve it, but I don't agree with one point.

It isn't fair to say that in your own house you shouldn't have things out that are nice because someone else's kid might break them. I don't have expensive things out in my house (I have 3 kids 5 and under and other kids here all the time), but the things I have out just because they aren't expensive doesn't mean they can/should be broken by another kid without some repercussion, too.

It isn't about the lamp shade, it's about the fact that the kid broke something, expensive or not.
