Re: Motivational Monday

  • Lose the two pounds I gained after my friends wedding weekend.  Worth it, but I'm back on track today.

    Get my life back strait after the last week of doing nothing but destroy my house. Get the laundry done, the kitchen full cleaned and finally get rid of (replant and move) the fucking plant that's the bane of my existence.

  • Remember to take my prenatal every day! Ugh. Vitamins always make me so sick.

    I've set a reminder in my phone.

  • Get caught up AND ahead on my school work for my two classes! I'm going to do that by *trying* to stay off facebook. ;)

    I also need to go through all of our clothes (kids and mine) and put stuff in bags to donate that we do not wear/does not fit anymore. I want to do a closet a night to make it more manageable.

  • 1.) Write, write, write. 

    2.) Read, read, read. 

    3.) Don't kill DH. 

    Simple enough, but they all seem fairly impossible at the moment.

    Have you tried the gummy version? I have heard people have an easier time with those. I can't swallow the regular pills but the gummy ones are pretty tasty.

     

    My goal is to get through the next 4 days so I can have a 4 day weekend in Albany.

  • I don't post much, but since school has started I hope to have more time at my computer. 

    Grade papers, (I'm already behind somehow)

    Stop snipping at my husband.  He deserves some of it but I need to be the bigger person. 

    Hopefully finally get into The Diviners.  I can tell it will be good but I need some more time to really get into it and not read it 10 pages at a time.

  • 1. Fight this cold

    2. Survive this hectic week

    Yep, they are delicious too.  They don't have iron though, so keep that in mind.  Mine was made by Vitafusion, but I think Target may have one.

  • Yea, I've been taking a gummy prenatal for almost a year now. They don't have any iron in them but you generally get enough from your diet anyway and there's always a supplement if you become anemic.

  • 1. Get up on time.

    2. Start exercising.

    3. Keep up eating better.

    I've gotten up earlier (not when I wanted to) the last 2 mornings in a row, it was actually pretty enjoyable to have spare time and get things done, if only I exercised today, but the day is still young.

  • I'm going to help my son get rid of his pacifier which he only uses for nap and bedtime. I am hoping he won't think it will be a big deal. Cross your fingers!

    I need to set up a prenatal appointment, that's easy.

    I need to get more sleep!  I'm dragging here today.

    I'm going to do it by.....well easy to make the appointment.  I don't know about the other two.

    Set a routine or at least try to with Alex.
    Convince mh to work out of his office instead of my living room.
    Take a good pic of alex for his announcement cards.

  • Work out. I start my classes this week, and that paired with my jobs makes it hard to start working out mid-semester. So I am going to start working out tonight and keep it up on the afternoons I do not have class or too much homework. I want to climb a Pikes Peak at the end of September with some friends and at my current level I wont make it further then I did last year.

    I think a play list will help me to work out- if I have an awesome play-list I will want to listen to it... and to listen to it I will make myself work out. (at least that is my theory)

  • I'm back to work this week, so my goal is to cook dinner every night this week.  I'm also going to stick to my points, walk the dog at least 6x this week, and go to yoga 2x.  And I need to get an oil change.

  • I need to run at least 8 miles this week. I think I'm going to get up early and run before work.  My anxiety has been out of control, I need to sweat out the demons.

  • 1.  Get back on my workout / meal schedule.  I'm going to do it by just forcing myself to? lol
    2.  Focus on reading in my spare time instead of playing on my tablet/phone.
    3.  Cut back on my caffeine intake - made the mistake of buying my favorite tasting energy drink at Sam's Club... what used to be a RARE but desperately needed treat (when I felt like I would die in the morning without caffeine and coffee would not cut it) has become a few times a week drink... Having them in the house is going to be a NO-NO going forward.

    Just four weeks, so it's very early still.
