@cocobellaf I've never had any measurements taken on the outside of my body. When I have a non ultrasound appointment, the doctor just does my blood pressure and listens to the heartbeat and that's it.

MissKittyDanger · March 2016

@untouchablets I am side-eyeing your roomie so hard right now. Yay to finding a good gym though! You get those buns abs of steel!

[Deleted User] · March 2016

@jenna8984 - I don't think that they started doing that to me until about 20 weeks. I measured one week ahead the last time, and 4 weeks ahead this time.

Also, my mom just informed me that my grandma lost 2 babies due to pre-e, and that my mom had it with me and had to have treatment. So I called and told my doctor, and she's extra concerned now, so if I get one more high reading then I'm admitted to the hospital indefinitely.

jenna8984 · March 2016

@cocobellaf oh wow! I had a friend on bed rest in the hospital (like literally not even allowed to go to the bathroom without asking) from 25-31 weeks. Baby came at 31. I really hope you don't have to do that!!

[Deleted User] · March 2016

I had no idea that I had a family history of pre-e!!! UGH. My family doesn't talk about ANYTHING, so a lot of medical history stuff I don't know about until after the fact. *eyeroll*

@swazzle – I know it’s hard, but the only way I get up early to run is by going to bed early enough. Every night. No ifs, ands or buts. It’s the sacrifice I make, and unfortunately it hurts me on the weekends too, because I get tired way earlier than everyone else. But I’m not going to do it after work. I just can’t handle that…… I’ll just also throw out there that there are 1-2 days a month (every month) that I am just exhausted and can’t do anything. Could it be a function of lady times a-comin?

@PamBeesly524 – Nice job on your run! I just did 4.5 for the first time this year on Tuesday! It felt awesome. Once the sun starts coming back out my dog is more willing to run further without stopping, so I enjoy the length. How many miles do you typically do in a week?

@caseface5 – You look wonderful, and I love your hair!

@CocoBellaF – I hope you have so much fun with your work baby shower! Are you pretty close to your coworkers?

@untouchablets – Weight training is an awesome way to lose weight. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. You just gotta do the diet part too, and try to throw in some random cardio after a while because it's good for you.

@MissKittyDanger – Hopefully you can just take the rest of the day a little slower. Remember to breathe! The splashers are such douche bags!

@labro – That tree is gorgeous. And I love your porch!

@jenna8984 – Your cat looks awesome. They’re always just lounging somewhere, aren’t they?

@wink0erin – A few people spoke to the workout advice, so I'll hit the other side...... Your body sounds the exact same as mine. I am lankly as hell, with tiny little arms, and skinny lower legs, but then ridiculous love handles. I don’t even know what to call my body shape. But as long as my BF still seems interested in my body, I’m not gonna worry about it. I spent way too much time with low self confidence and I’m fucking over it. A lot of the time I’ll feel fat just because I’ve been skinnier, not because I’m actually over the weight I should be. If it’s really getting to you, I’m sure you can find more flattering clothes that are cute without being baggy. Dressing cute makes me feel better, while dressing baggy makes me feel worse. It took me time, but I’m figuring it out, haha. You are gorgeous, inside AND out.

@futuremrshistorian – You look beautiful! Wide leg slacks are my favorite!

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

I really have nothing to talk about. We finished House of Cards last night and it was intense and awesome and I'm already excited for more!! Why do they do this to me?!?!?

jenjen047 · March 2016

@futuremrshistorian - Glad you are feeling better! You look great!!

@pambeesly524 - Sounds awesome!

@swazzle - Ah OK yeah that's already pretty early.

I'm sorry, I wish I knew what to say other than what has already been said. If I find a way to add more time to the day I will let you know ASAP.

@wink0erin - Those times are tough. Have you thought about talking to a trainer? They might be able to give you personalized tips. Keep your chin up, you're doing great!

PamBeesly524 · March 2016

@AlPacina It totally depends on where I am in my training program, but I agree it feel so good once you get to those longer lengths! I always dread going but once I get in my groove while I run it feels so good and then afterwards I'm like:

PLUS I recently found out that it's like, mega good for you to drink chocolate milk after you work out so... perks.

Also yay for finishing HoC! H and I finished this last season and then immediately went back to season 1 - we felt like we forgot a lot and wanted to rewatch everything.

Swazzle · March 2016

@AlPacina - I don't get a real period right now because of my IUD but I was just spotting for a couple days at the beginning of last week so I don't think it's that. I'm sure it also has to do with it being something that my body isn't used to (both the working out and the less sleep). I'm totally with you on the night time workouts. I just can't do it.

eilis1228 · March 2016

@PamBeesly524 LOL I read that too about chocolate milk. I also read that 4oz of red wine is good for you post-workout too. I can get on board with that!

speakeasy14 · March 2016

@swazzle ugh I feel your pain. I keep setting my alarm a little earlier each day, since I really can't go to bed any earlier than I do. I'm finding the 10 minute increments helping a lot to adjust to the time change, but not really for the end of the day exhaustion.

@eilis1228 I'm glad they answered the tough questions. It always irritates me when those questions are left unanswered.

@labro I want your yard.

@cocobellaf fingers and toes crossed you don't have to be put on hospital bed rest.

@futuremrshistorian I love your outfit today! Those pants are awesome! I should have a credit from Thredup, time to look and see if I can go shopping.

@wink0erin I have the same problem areas as you. I'm petite and curvy so all the weight goes to my mid-section. I have pictures from when I was my skinniest (could see my rib cage) and I still had a little bit of a belly. I've found that yoga and pilates are helping that problem area a lot.

@Peaseblossom55 saw your post last night and sending lots of love and positive thoughts your way!

I spent all morning in a leadership development training. It was an interesting session. It's a 6 month program and this was the first, so I'm interested to see how it will progress. I swear I don't know how all you mid & west coast LADIES keep up.

Last night my bf and I took Calla for a walk and then just snuggled on the couch. We've decided that every night after dinner we're going to take her for a walk through one of the local parks.

This weekend I have my nieces' birthday party and we're spending time with my cousin who is visiting from Germany. Oh and it's my step-dad's birthday so trying to figure that out too. Fingers crossed I have all my energy back to handle it all. I also need to figure out what I need to pack for Chicago since that's next weekend and I don't know when I'll be able to pack next week.

AlPacina · March 2016

@PamBeesly524 - I always drink chocolate milk after! It's my favorite part! Haha. We were showing my BF's dad HoC last weekend and I forgot how intense even that first episode was! I want to go back to the beginning too. Which is your favorite season?

@speakeasy14 - Coming in late and trying to catch up blows. But I'm not super productive first thing in the day anyway, so it works. . . You are only packing for one night. I hope you can make some time! You could re wear your clothes, even, and pack nothing. I'll still hang out with you.

speakeasy14 · March 2016

@AlPacina haha I didn't mean clothes, I meant everything else haha. I've had my clothes picked out since I booked my flights.

jenjen047 · March 2016

@cocobellaf - Extra vibes!!!

wink0erin · March 2016

@pambeesly524 @alpacina Now I am craving chocolate milk...
@eilis1228 I can totally get behind wine after working out. Or any time.

I went home at lunch and packed a little "gym" bag. I'm hoping after work I am motivated enough to walk to the gym next door and ask questions. If not, then I will just take a walk around my work neighborhood.

I just hope there is a rowing machine because I keep thinking about the episode of Rocko's Modern Life where they join a gym.

eilis1228 · March 2016

@wink0erin ROCKO! Omg. I still get the R-E-C-Y-C-L-E song stuck in my head all the time. Childhood!

wink0erin · March 2016

@eilis1228 R-E-C-Y-C-L-E Recycle! C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E Conserve! I love that episode. BF and I will see any City Hall and sing "You can't fight City Hall"

PamBeesly524 · March 2016

@eilis1228 Well, if that's the case I doubled up last night because I had chocolate milk AND wine.. I should be seeing results any day now.

@AlPacina We just finished Season 2 and it's so so good.. Don't wanna spoil for anyone but it's the one where at the very end of the last episode he knocks his newly made class ring against the desk and it goes to black.

labro · March 2016

@PamBeesly524 I mean, I am sure you've seen this stuff in stores.

It's an affront to serious wine lovers everywhere but it's like the best of both worlds re: chocolate milk and red wine!!

PamBeesly524 · March 2016

@labro I haven't seen this, but why aren't bodybuilders everywhere buying this ish up?! Washboard abs, here I come.

eilis1228 · March 2016

@labro I had no idea that was a real thing... I must try it!

I thought this stuff was like common knowledge!!!

wink0erin · March 2016

@labro I've had chocolate wine before, it was a combination of me loving it and not being sure about it. Clearly if I start working out (and I'm TOTALLY pumping myself up for it) I will need that in my body.

eilis1228 · March 2016

@labro

AlPacina · March 2016

@PamBeesly524 - For real though, second season was BY FAR my favorite. Claire becomes a bigger character, and I absolutely love her.

PamBeesly524 · March 2016

@AlPacina I waffle back and forth with Claire.. She scares me haha.

AlPacina · March 2016

@PamBeesly524 - If you get scared, just breathe and remember she's not real. Haha

AlPacina · March 2016

So, totally lame update! My coworker I was going to prank just put in for leave tomorrow and isn't even going to be here!! I am so freaking bummed. I'll just have to save all the motion sensor noise makers for another time.
