[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[Fezzle]

Sorry you have to go back to your disliked job. Glad your DH can be with Ellie though!

I like fitbit so far- but that's only after 2 full days! I think it works for me because right now my main plan for exercise is walking and running, though I don't think it would have been as good when I was mostly doing kettlebells last year. It's motivating me to go to the gym at least!

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Sucks about going back to that job and your shitty boss!! Don't stop putting feelers out there, I'm sure something will come along.

I'm doing fine fitness-wise. At least as good as I plan on. Did yoga Saturday, rode my bike and did a ton of walking whilst shopping. And other then those two rebellious cookies I haven't had a lick of sugar. For the next few days though I plan to rest to get rid of this cold, hopefully in time for prenatal yoga Wednesday.

ditto on the job side. I know just how you feel, but keep the feelers out there and something good will soon come along. I've taken some jobs just to get out of other places and it doesnt always work for the best.

I managed to weigh in today at the same weight as Friday which I think is good because I ate alot of nachos and pizza! Weekend are always the hardest for me!

 

[Pirate]

Sorry you have to go back to your job, TX! I agree with what everybody else said, just keep putting feelers out there!

I haven't weighed myself because I don't own one and haven't thought to pick one up. For exercise today I shoveled our parking area and most of our neighbor's too. Then I chipped probably about 30 feet of 3" thick ice and then shoveled it from where the asshole neighbor chipped the ice in front of their parking yesterday which made the rain from overnight come down to our hose and our neighbor's, dammed up, and left a huge ice patch behind our cars. Oh, and I'm snacking on celery, carrots, green peppers, and cucumber slices right now. I'm pretending that I'm eating chips. It's not working.

I need to get my ass back on the exercise bike too.

sorry you have to go back there hope something comes up for you

 

[LillyTame]

Ugh! I hate hate hate that you have to go back to that job! I sure hope you get a surprise call soon.

I like my fitbit, I think it is helping to encourage me to do a bit more each day.

 

[lamago]

Gave up my diet today to welcome the three kings and had rosca bread! Too bad it's so close to the beginning of the diet. Have to stay on track.

 

[MIZZYD]

Rosca sounds good, with some hot chocolate.

 

[txbiscuit]

Yum. Rosca and hot chocolate both sound great. It's in the 20's here (-6C) which is not that cold for some of you ladies but very cold for me. It's hard to make myself go running.

 

[ClandestineTX]

I am always late to the party...

CONGRATS, AMELI!!!! And whoa... that was fast? I didn't realize you were so close!

Regarding FitBit, I feel like Lilly does. It really keeps me aware of whether or not I'm moving and now that the after-effects of the crash seem to have chilled out and actually leaving my house to work from the office today - just maybe, I'll start logging real steps!

 

[LillyTame]

Damn, it's 69 right now and I'm complaining!

 

[Twag]

Oooo -6c grrr that is cold i don't know why bit for some reason i thought Texas was always warm

 

[txbiscuit]

We usually have pretty warm weather, with a couple of cold-ish weeks in the winter months. This is unusually cold for us for sure! I'm wearing an old coat I bought for study abroad in college.

 

[Pirate]

I woke up to -8 F (-22 C) this morning. It's really windy too, so it feels a ton colder. My 5 minute walk from the parking garage to my office was brutal. I'm glad this temperature isn't a regular occurrence.

 

[Fezzle]

I hope you're all staying warm!

 

[Snackimals]

it's under 70 degrees today... that's all I will say. (and yeah, i am complaining)

 

[txbiscuit]

This is a pretty crazy cold snap. Apparently it's even too cold for the polar bear at the Chicago zoo!

[MIZZYD]

Its 67 F here, which is 20 C, kinda cold, lol

 

[LillyTame]

So back in Sep I was sick and put on a liquid diet then progressed to applesauce...I guess I was so hungry that the applesauce was delicious so I thought it was perhaps a good snack so we bought a shit ton of it and now I can't stand it The jello is still yummy though lol I have that as a treat/snack and can eat 2 a day! But I'm sure thats too much sugar so i try not too

oh yea lamago, what foods can't you find on MFP, I swear I find stuff that I never thought I would

 

[Fezzle]

You can use applesauce as substitute for oil in baking if you want to get rid of it- if you're baking something healthy of course!
