60-Day Challenge Check-In Day 43

Comments

[JB]

Exercise, check (for once.) Supplements, check. But I am right now, this minute, sitting and absentmindedly eating Hershey's Kisses (and contemplating cancelling class because it's pouring rain and I have to walk across campus, woe is me.) Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad appears to be my new personal motto.

JB, two out of three certainly beats none out of three! Good on ya.

I'm still here. Flossing, taking vitamins, not drinking diet soda. Trying out some of the challenges others have set for themselves, too. Trying to be more mindful of my eating, getting more exercise, being nicer to hubby. Good stuff.

took supplements, forgot milk again but was out for the evening having an awesome seafood bonanza dinner (pnut kept calling it lobsterfest) so i don't feel so bad.

see above mentioned bonanza for being extra nice to my husband.

did get some work done, not enough and want to get what i wanted to finish yesterday done today.

***
had a sono/checkup and while the cervix shortened up a bit again it's still long enough that the peri is happy and so is my ob. yay!

Pnuts mama, when's the due date again? You just stay pregnant now, okay?

Apropos of saying you were trying to finish the work goal set for yesterday, let me remind one and all that I was supposed to finish my disssertation *a year ago*. This week I submitted the official application to graduate in june. Heard back from all 3 readers with the thumbs up (diss ois okay to graduate, not in shape for publication). Okay, I can deal with that.One year, one job, and one baby later, I feel pretty great just finishing.

Marriage counselor called to cancel tomorrow's session, so I asked my husband to take a walk in the park with me instead, and he agreed.

My dad went back home after doing the Marshall Plan on my self-esteem.I'm starting to feel good enough about myself again to have Thoughts, so I'm trying to journal, even though part of me can't stand using "journal" as a verb!

Took supplements.

Still here too.

Did a 2 hour walk outside today. TTapp taking a backseat with the nice weather.
Did awesome on my veggies plus really getting into the quinoa.
Hardly saw husband but brought him back some cake after moms' night out so I think that counts as being nice to him.

Cleaned the house yesterday for guests, so it was a more intensive cleaning than usual--plus I was wearing the baby while doing so. So I'm going to count that as my exercise, since lord knows I was working up a sweat while mopping and vacuuming with an extra 14 pounds attached to my chest.

Ate tons of veggies and fruits yesterday, so am getting back on track with that. All in all this yesterday was a good day for the goals.

[pnuts mama]

@welter- that is great that he agreed for the walk! also, that you are working on your self-esteem.
all the cliches aside it certainly is true that it is much more difficult to be a good partner in a marriage if you are constantly self guessing your decisions and blame yourself or use yourself as the punching bag for when things go wrong, or even just a bit not right. it becomes so much worse when your partner feeds into it and can use it against you (not accusing your husband of that, but ykwim).

ALSO INCREDIBLY AWESOME that your dissertation was approved!!! WHEEEE!! when is your defense? let us know so we can be rooting for you- although most defenses i've been to are mostly a walk in the park compared to the writing process. unless you happen to have a reader who decides to be a jerk, most just want you to do well and prove you know what the heck you're talking about and move on. my school has implemented serious deadlines to prevent folks like me who will procrastinate til they can collect social security so i really do need to get on with it already.

i'm technically due july 4th, but as of next week the babybean will technically be "viable"- lungs, eyes, brain- so even though i'd prefer he stays inside to bake as long as possible, i'm less freaked out than i was. if i could get to 34 weeks plus i'll consider it a success. thanks!

Again, can someone remind me why this is the “change” president we’ve been waiting for?
