Morning!

Last night I got home from work at 4:30, fell asleep at 5, woke up at 7, cooked and ate dinner (HelloFresh coconut chicken with garlic green beans and sweet potato fries), read a little, and went to bed. I'm still feeling crappy but I'm hoping getting some extra much-needed sleep is helping. 

Today is my weigh-in day and I'm -0.4 this week which isn't much but it puts me at -5 overall since joining WW and puts me in the 150s for the first time in for-fucking-ever so I'm jumping with joy! My clothes are already fitting better which is the biggest relief. 

Also, for anyone that's looking for a good book, I'm currently reading Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline and I can't put it down. I think it's considered historical fiction and it's nothing at all like the usual dark, twisted thrillers I usually read. @speakeasy14 you have it on your to read bookshelf! 

Tonight will be uneventful. Dinner is HelloFresh steak au poivre with creamed kale and cheesy potatoes. I really wanted to get back to the gym this week but I just do not feel well at all

@swazzle congrats on being down 5lbs! That's awesome! I hope you start to feel better though!

Yesterday Callie rolled over from Back to Tummy for the first time!!! She had already rolled over from tummy to back before and I figured that came quickly to her since she isn't a huge fan of tummy time but since she has become more used to it she has started rolling a lot on her back from side to side and yesterday night she completely flipped over! I'm so proud lol!

Last night I went to CrossFit and had Smoked Buffalo Chicken wings with DH for dinner. We started watching this movie Mystery in Alaska. I've never seen it before but DH loves it. 

DH has to work tonight so no CrossFit for me tonight. Callie and I will just play and snuggle and have a quiet night together. She slept so much better last night....THANK GOD!!!! She only woke up once at midnight so 10000x better than the previous night.

@Swazzle congrats on the weight loss!  That's awesome!!!

@southernpeach89 - Yay for Calllie rolling over like a champ AND sleeping so well last night!!  And are you doing a 15K or a 5K?

I had a check-up with my OB yesterday.  It went pretty well.  We talked about how sick I've been and some of the weird things that have been happening, and she told me that it looks like I've got pregnancy-induced IBS and that all the anxiety I've been having is feeding a really long flare.  So we're going to treat that and HOPEFULLY I'll start feeling a little better/more normal!  YAY.

I did PiYo Lower Body last night.  It was fun but tough, too.  I'm not used to working out.

What are you wearing? 

A black and white dress with a blue long cardi, wine/burgundy boots, and my really cool work badge.  This outfit does a great job at disguising my blump!

Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see? 
I can't think of any off the top of my head!

Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? 
No.

What are you looking forward to this month? 
2nd trimester beginning.  Picking out the floors for our house.  Going to the annual chocolate festival.

What's for lunch and dinner?
Hmmm, good question.  I don't really have "lunch" anymore.  I ate a little breakfast (some scrambled eggs and toast), so in a little bit I'll have a snack, and then I'll have another snack, and then I'll have another snack, and then I'll eat a larger snack that I'll call "dinner".  I brought a ton of different foods to choose from, but today I'm kind of feeling mixed fruit (melon, watermelon, grapes, strawberries), vanilla yogurt, popcorn, and maybe a sope that I brought from home or mini corn dogs.  Yup.

jenna8984

@swazzle aw sorry you're still not feeling hot. But awesome job on WW so far, that's the best part when clothes fit better. Dinners sound yum as usual.

@southernpeach89 Yay glad you both got a good night's sleep!

Well I bought a new car last night! My brother is a salesman so he hooked it up. I wanted 1-2 years used so it would be cheaper but he was able to give me a discount so I paid literally $400 more than the used ones on his lot! It's a 2016 dark grey Subaru impreza hatch back with heated seats, heated mirrors, backup cam. I am so stoked to pick it up on Friday. I'll be a little sad because like @labro I bought my car fresh out of college over 8 years ago so it's sad parting with it!

What are you wearing? purple flowy tank with white cardigan & jeans
Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see? supposed to go to Daddy's Home this weekend with bestie. Revenant looks amazing too.
Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? nah, I like to just look online at the red carpet dresses the next day.
What are you looking forward to this month? ending the first tri and being able to tell everyone!
What's for lunch and dinner? lunch- leftover roast chicken & red potatoes. dinner- trying a new thing I saw online for a sushi bowl, basically a California roll but all mixed up in a bowl instead of rolled.

Swazzle

@southernpeach89 - I really want wings now! 

@CocoBellaF - I'm glad you talked to your OB about how bad you've been feeling! Hopefully those symptoms subside soon!

Swazzle

@jenna8984 - Congrats on the new car! That's so exciting!

LizzyTish88

@Swazzle Congrats on the weight loss! I aslo saw you said you want to see the Revenant. BF downloaded that one too, along with Hateful Eight, we just haven't been home to watch them.

@Southernpeach89 Yay for Callie rolling! What a great accomplishment for her and proud momma moment for you!

@CocoBellaF Hopefully a diagnosis will help you to feel better! I hope the treatment works.

@Jenna8489 Congrats on a new car!

I'm feeling like major shit today. This is really like the cold that will never leave. Last night I ran to Michael's, the dollar store, CVS, and the grocery store all in an hour and a half, which I thought was an accomplishment in itself! I then went home and did a YouTube Zumba class and felt really good after! Tonight I hope to do another and make the frames for the girls.

What are you wearing? 
A grey and pink striped sweater, with sequins on the grey parts, and black slacks.

Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see? 
I want to see Daddy's home. I love Mark Wahlberg and Will Farrell together.

Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? 
No, I don't usually watch award shows. 

What are you looking forward to this month? 
On the 23rd a big portion of my family is going into Boston for a pub crawl. A distant cousin is heading the whole thing so we are just going for the journey.

What's for lunch and dinner?
For lunch I have a 100 calorie pack of pringles, and a turkey sandwich on a flatbread bun. For dinner we are either doing steak or chicken caesar salads.

cu97tiger

@swazzle - Orphan Train has now been put on my list! Sorry you're still feeling poopy.

@southernpeach89 - I thought I knew what your DH did, but it didn't involve night work... is he moonlighting as an NBA referee?

@jenna8984 - Congrats on the new car! Heated seats are literally THE BEST.

Tonight we'll make dinner and watch American Idol. One of my BFs's(?) sisters is on it. She wasn't allowed to tell us if she made it, but I'm guessing she had to, because she has an AMAZING voice. 

Then I'll do laundry, so that everything can dry before I start packing Friday night. My parents are coming up to stay the night since we're all on the same flight out of Baltimore on Saturday.

----------------

What are you wearing? 

Aztec cardigan, skinny jeans, cream boots

Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see? 

Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II. I also want to see Sisters, but don't care about seeing that at a theater.

Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? 

Nope... I'll be in Phoenix hanging out with old Clemson friends and getting ready for the game on Monday!

What are you looking forward to this month? 

THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. OMG OMG OMGOMGOMG

What's for lunch and dinner?

No idea what's for lunch but most likely a sandwich with a side salad. For dinner, we're making Home Chef's Chicken Pad Thai.

[Deleted User]

@CocoBellaF I'm doing a 15k. The race has a 5k and a 15k and I've always done the 5k and after doing 10k's every year for the Peachtree...I figured it's time to do a little bit more. We will see how it goes!

@jenna8984 Congrats on getting a new car! That's so exciting!

@caseface5 I've been avoiding Michaels for a few months now and I think I might venture in there this week to see what kind of Easter stuff and Valentine's Day stuff they have.

minskat30

@swazzle - Congrats on the loss!  That is amazing and you are doing awesome.  I hope continued sleep keeps any cold at bay.

@southernpeach89 - Good job Callie!  That is great!  When do babies usually roll over?  I've forgotten since it has been forever since I've been around babies since my nephew is 15 and my niece is 10.  

@CocoBellaF - What blump?  I do see a little bump though.    You look great lady.  I'm glad your OB is giving you a solution to you feeling icky though.  

@jenna8984 - Yeah new car!!! Pictures?

@caseface5 - What YouTube Zumba video did you do?  I love Zumba but always feel foolish doing it in a class.  I may still go on Friday to a class since my gym moved classes to a separate floor now where all the gym goers can't peer in to the class.

------------------------
Morning!  Man am I in a good mood this morning.  Raj even woke us up an hour before our alarm went off and I'm still happy...I'll take it! I did spin yesterday and it was great to be back on the bike.  I'm going again tonight after work.  I also talked to a friend yesterday who is still in a big law firm.  Man is she having a rough time and I feel so bad for her.  I'm so glad to be out of that rat race though.


What are you wearing? 

-My little black dress that still fits (barely), a fuzzy faux fur sweater and sparkly flats.  Two random people commented on the bump yesterday so I guess it is obvious now.  

Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see? 

-H wants to see some stock market movie that is out...forgot the name.  He also wants to see the new Leonardo DiCaprio movie coming out...also forgot the name. (ETA - Just saw @swazzle reference The Revenant...I think that is it) I've got nothing otherwise. 

Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? 

-I'll probably watch a bit.

What are you looking forward to this month? 

-Ultrasound next week and it is the big one!  I just pray baby is healthy and growing well.  I also can't wait to find out the gender!

What's for lunch and dinner?

Probably a salad of some sort for lunch.  Dinner may be cereal...or soup...depends on what I'm craving.  Dinner will be followed by a desert of ice cream though.

Somehow I missed the part about your race. I love the 15k distance. A bit more challenging than the 10k, obviously, but not full out crazy like a 1/2 marathon Good luck!

[Deleted User]

@cu97tiger Haha oh yea! DH started doing part time serving at a local BBQ restaurant since he is getting his specialist degree. We didn't want to take out anymore student loans so he is using the cash he gets from this job to pay for this degree. He usually works 2-3 nights a week.

@minskat30 Babies tend to roll over from tummy to back first and that can happen anywhere from 3-5 months and normally back to tummy comes a little bit later anywhere around 4-5 months. Callie is super energetic and moves around a lot so I'm not surprised she has rolled over a bit early. She gets frustrated when she is been in one spot for more than she wants so I guess last night she figured out how to move herself around lol.

minskat30

@southernpeach89 - My working thesis is that Callie is just super smart and has all this stuff figured out early.  Watch out, Mom.    

speakeasy14

@swazzle I think I have it on my Kindle.  I need to charge that thing so I can get back to reading.
@cocobellaf that cardigan looks really comfy
@jenna8984 yay for a new car! I've started looking for a new car just because I'm not sure how much longer mine is going to last.
@southernpeach89 fingers crossed this new sleeping arrangement sticks and she continues to sleep through most of the night.


What are you wearing? grey dress pants, black top, lavender blazer

Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see? We need to see Star Wars still.  Also want to see Sisters.

Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday?  Nope. 

What are you looking forward to this month? hmmm We don't really have much planned yet, so not sure.  At the end of the month we're spending a few days in Vermont with friends, but I'm not really excited for that since I don't ski and haven't been able to take any lessons since there is no snow.

What's for lunch and dinner? 
Lunch: leftover snap peas and shrimp
Dinner: No idea, I have my obgyn appt tonight so not really going to be in the mood to cook.  My mom did ask me to stop by her house on my way home, so maybe I'll have whatever she has for dinner. 

[Deleted User]

@cu97tiger I'm really excited about it! I've always felt 5ks are a bit too short for the amount of time I like to spend running and I've always enjoyed doing a 10k so I'm ready to push myself a bit further.

[Deleted User]

@southernpeach89 - I want to be you as a pregnant lady and a post-pregnant/new mom.  You are a rockstar.  Can I be you, please?

@minskat30 - Depending on the time of day, it looks more bump or more blump.  The afternoon and evening I have characteristic IBS inflammation and distension (you can google IBS bloating or inflammation), but in the morning when my stomach is the calmest, it is not a very noticeable bump yet.  Except when I wear something tight on my stomach, which I've only done once or twice.  I'm still not comfortable with how my body looks so I am covering it up.  

@cu97tiger - Your cardi sounds really cute!

jenna8984

@cocobellaf My work comps blocks the pictures so I can't see how cute you look. But I'm glad your doctor pinpointed the tummy issues so you can hopefully feel better soon!

@cu97tiger I'm always cold so I imagine myself using the heated seats even in like June bahah. Have an amazing time at the game, I know you will, I'll be cheering for them since my parents live in SC!

@minskat30 I pick it up on Friday so don't have pics yet. Love that you're in a good mood today, love when that happens! And I love that you are already planning ice cream later hehe

@caseface5 Awesome job on the errands and zumba yesterday!

jenna8984

@speakeasy14 oooo lavender blazer sounds right up my alley

[Deleted User]

@speakeasy14 Thanks! I hope so too. She has been sleeping in her crib now for about 1 month and a half instead of sleeping in her pack n play in our bedroom. Recently we have stopped swaddling her at night since she has been rolling around and I'm afraid of her rolling over with her swaddle on so that has been a change for her. She isn't used to having her arms free at night but I think she is starting to get adjusted.

@CocoBellaF Aw thank you! I promise the more you stay active during your pregnancy the better you will feel! I know it's hard especially during the 1st trimester but staying active was probably the only way I kept myself energized.

[Deleted User]

@southernpeach89 - I'm trying to get back into the swing of things now that I'm not puking so much, so hopefully I'll be back to a more normal routine.  I can't wait for 2nd tri to get here!!

cu97tiger

@southernpeach89 - What a hard-working man!! Let me know if you want any training tips/suggestions for the 15k. When is it?

@jenna8984 - Seats heat up so much faster than the rest of the car, so it's a must-have when it's below 30 here! I made DH switch cars with me since his has them and mine doesn't. Wonderful man that he is, he didn't complain.

Swazzle

@caseface5 - H and I saw The Hateful Eight last week and we both LOVED it. 

@cu97tiger - I think it's one of the ones I sent you! If not, let me know. My mom and I saw sisters right before Christmas and both laughed the entire time. It was fun seeing them in the opposite of what I always feel like they play (Tina being the wild one, Amy being more reserved). I wanted to get the chicken pad thai but H wasn't feeling it. Sometimes, I really regret asking his opinion on our meal orders  

@minskat30 - I think it's only fair that we get to see a bump pic! 

MissKittyDanger

@Swazzle  congrats on the down 5lbs  

@southernpeach89  yay Callie for flipping and for sleeping more!

@CocoBellaF  did your dr give you anything that could help reduce the issues? Hopefully they subside soon

@jenna8984 yay new car!  


Picked up cold meds and tissues with lotion for my princess nose, went home and ate pasta and fell asleep.
Legit. 12hrs of mostly sleep, occasionally waking up briefly but not enough to disturb it.
Feeling a bit better today, but that could be the cold meds I got helping me be a functioning human.

Tonight is dishes and meal planning. We have groceries to do this week, so we want to start meal planning. Make it easier on us, cooking and financially, and at some point we need to stop by vet's for more cat food. I'll likely drive home from that through the residential area if I'm feeling better.

What are you wearing? 
Black dress pants, coral tshirt, grey sweater. Zero effort today.

Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see? 
I had to actually look. Mocking Jay Part 2 and Joy because Jennifer Lawrence.

Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? 
Nope. 

What are you looking forward to this month? 
Uhm not sure actually. Nothing really planned, but February is the honeymoon trip to Dominican Republic {do you still call it that when it's almost 7 months later? lmao}

What's for lunch and dinner?
Lunch: left over pasta
Dinner: Sheppard's Pie if I have energy to make it

@cocobeallaf - I feel you on not being sure of how you feel about the body changes.  Honestly, my belly button is disappearing fast (its an innie and I used to be able to fit my entire thumb base in there...now the tip of my pinkie barely fits) and it freaks me out sometimes.  Hugs.

@jenna8984 - A girl has to have something to look forward to...mine is ice cream lately.  If I'm going to eat a damn salad with protein for lunch when I want junk, I might as well treat myself to ice cream at night, right?  

Alright @swazzle - here you go.  Bathroom work selfie and gross pulled back hair but at least the outfit is cute.

speakeasy14

@jenna8984 I got it from Banana Republic.  I couldn't find it online though, but it's an open blazer in a really light lavender shade. 

lavenderfields13

@swazzle Congrats on the weight loss!

@southernpeach89 I want to be you, that is all. 

@CocoBellaF I hope you start feeling better asap

Yesterday I did the blogilates playlist for my workout. I felt so out of shape! Then I cooked dinner and finished my latest book. I feel so tired today, I woke up at some point during the night and couldn't fall back to sleep for about an hour. Also, my eyes and all around my eyes have been super itchy and red for a while now and it's driving me crazy and making me look like crap. The rest of my skin is acting up right now too and is blotchy a lot. 

What are you wearing? black flats, black skinnies, sweater
Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see? I never pay attention to previews and we never go to the movies because it is ridiculously expensive
Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? nope, I never even usually know when awards shows are on
What are you looking forward to this month? Going to see my family next week!
What's for lunch and dinner? No idea

untouchablets

Morning!

What are you wearing?
Jeans, sneakers, my work shirt, and a hoodie.

Are there any movies out in the theaters that you want to see?
Joy

Do you plan to watch the Golden Globes on Sunday?
Not really.

What are you looking forward to this month?
Starting my dog training classes at my own store! And possibly another thing but I don't want to jinx it

What's for lunch and dinner?
Soup from the Greek restaurant next door for lunch, dunno about dinner yet!

My life is SO BORING! I didn't do anything yesterday, I don't plan on much today. There has been a development in my puppy acquisition saga but I can't go into detail right now because I don't know a lot. It's good news, though. I'll explain later.

@southernpeach89 go Callie!!!

@swazzle awesome weight loss job! You rock!

[Deleted User]

@cu97tiger It's at the end of the month on the 25th I believe. I haven't trained as much as I would like but I'm not going for a time record or anything...my goal is to just jog the whole thing and try not to walk lol.
