Re: Motivational Monday

  • @mendrandes CONGRATS!!!

    I'm going to try to finish my book club book by Thursday.

    I'm going to do that by shirking off all household responsibilities until I'm done.

  • @menrandes Congratulations! I hope you can take it easy this week!

    I brought my gym clothes to work today!  Wooo!  That's a start.  I am thinking about going to yoga tonight since things have been frantic at work, but if I don't do that I will go do some cardio at the gym.  

    I also need to plan out my food for the week and go to the grocery store.  The longer I put it off, the more crappy food I continue to eat.

    I am trying to be better about staying on top of my laundry instead of letting it pile up. So I will do some laundry this week.

    I think you should move closer to me and we can be gym buddies :)

  • @menrandes Congratulations! That's such awesome news.

    This week I really just need to get back to cleaning up/organizing some things in the house. The physical clutter is turning into psychological clutter for me even though it's all hidden behind closet doors.

    I need to keep up with the more frequent workouts that I've been doing and eating better because I saw some great progress with the scale last week. It's really motivating me to keep it up.

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

    I've set a reminder in my phone.


    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.

    @nocturnalintimacy I highly recommend the target brand gummies. They're pretty inexpensive and taste pretty good. Calcium vitamins make me sick to my stomach but these target prenatals never have!

  • nocturnalintimacy - I take gummy ones that I got from BJ's and they are really good.  I can't remember the name right now though.

    As for me, I need to finish the book I am reading right now, (Killer).  It is due back to the library tomorrow.  Off to grab my Nook now.

  • I also want to cook dinner. Since Brynne was born, Brian has been doing all the cooking (and he already does a lot of the cleaning) and I want to give him a break.

    Impressive. I think it took me 2 months to get them ordered and another week or two to actually address them all and get them mailed!!

  • Force some workouts, keep up with the laundry, and spend more quality time with my kids after school. It's so easy to slip into the "cartoons while nesting/facebooking" routine.

    I think if i lived closer to family i wouldn't worry about it. But since the majority of my family won't see him until sometime this fall or christmas i really want to get them done.
  • Revise. I got notes back from a CP, so I need to revise and make corrections from those notes.

    I may steal a few hours at the library Tuesday afternoon while Brett's home with the kiddos.

    Prep the house to get on the market next week!

    We are doing some cleaning today and the last outside stuff tomorrow morning.

  • @Menrandes Congrats!

    1.) exercise!
    2.) eat better
    3.) work on the house

    It's been a rough week with DD and I have just been trying to survive so I haven't done much of anything except keep her alive and stress eating. I need to get my act together and make these things a priority.

  • My goal is to meet my coworker at the gym at least four mornings to work out.

    I will do this because I know that she will razz me if I don't show up.

    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'm in the same boat! I have two classes that started tonight that I would love to get a bunch of work done in this weekend. 

    Hopefully I'll set some sort of homework goal and just get it done lol.

    ETA: No, I plan on finding most of my sources and beginning my paper this weekend.

  • I need to finish cleaning my house after the baptism.  First, I'm going to go visit my BFF who's pregnant but on bed rest and then Wednesday-Friday it is my mission in life and priority number 1 (after you know, taking care of my kid and eating the left over cake).  I'm not going to even give myself any other things to accomplish because I deserve one after having 55 people at my house this weekend!

    I need to try to relax this week.  I'm pregnant finally after 3 years of trying and I am terrified something bad is going to happen.

    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.
    Congrats!
