Re: Confession Thursday

  • I felt a little crappy on New Years Eve. :(  We went to dinner with two other couples, which are probably our closest friends.  Us girls tell each other just about everything and they each vented to me about gaining weight through the holidays and that they didn't "feel" good.  I felt bad because I couldn't relate to them because I actually feel amazing right now!  I've lost 6lbs, I've been eating good, and H and I are working out again.  I'm honestly tired of not feeling good about myself, and I've made it a personal goal to better myself physically, mentally, and spiritually so that I can be a happier, more positive person.  We also went to a party after dinner were we saw some acquaintances that we hadn't seen in a few months and they all kept asking if I had lost weight and saying that I looked great.  That was awesome to hear, but in the back of my head I wished they would just be quite because I didn't want my friends to be upset by any of the comments.

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • I've been off of school for 3 weeks and I've done nothing around the house. I have so much laundry to do and should help H with the cleaning....but nah. I'm working full time until Sunday when I have to get ready to head back to school. I had hopes of crockpotting but did nothing.

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker 

  • I cleaned the bathrooms on Tuesday for the first time in a really really embarrassingly long time...and only because we had company coming over!

    @ystaalenburg I have a love/hate relationship with people commenting about when I'm down weight. It's awesome to hear that all your hard work is noticeable, but at the same time it makes me more self concious when I gain any weight back.

    I have to confess that I was super annoyed with DH yesterday. We stayed at a friend's house New Year's Eve because we were both drunk. Not black out, throw up, or pass out drunk, but definitely more than buzzed. Anyway, his family plays boot hockey every Saturday and then has a big tournament on New Year's Day. I went home and spent the day in the kitchen for my prep day and he played boot hockey.

    He was dropped off about 4 and I was in the middle of everything. Making ingredients for meals and he stumbled in the door and then passed out on the couch. He was wasted. I get having a couple while you play, but I don't think getting detroyed is necessary.

    He woke up a couple hours later, still drunk, as I was finishing dinner for the night. He immediately started whining saying that his hangover was starting. Which I don't see that as being possible with how drunk he still was. I brought him up food and all he could say to me was, "This sauce is too sweet, why don't you put in a pizza?"  I have never come that close to smacking him as I was at that moment. Yeah, it did turn out a bit sweet but it was still good.  He was just lashing out at me because he asked me for sprite while I was cooking.  I told him that he did it to himself and if he can get that wasted and still play boot hockey, then he can get his own pop. 

    He did some other "jerk" things like I brought him a pulled pork sandwich.  I was mad at him, but I was just trying to get him to eat something to hopefully sober him up a bit.  I brought it on one of the new buns I made.  He promptly insulted me on that as well.  He just didn't want to eat and was being a drunk a-hole  There were a couple other things, but I won't get into it. 

    Not a super awesome way to start the new year.  He was nicer later in the night but wasn't sober enough to apologize to me.  I'm going to have to remind him how he was yesterday and if he knows what's good for him, he'll apologize.

  • @Seipel12, I'm sorry your H was being a jerk to you.  I hope he realizes how he acted and apologizes.

    @ystaalenburg You've been working hard, don't let people get you down.  You looked amazing on NYE and I am sure your friends wished they worked that hard to look that good, too.

    I have been off for work for almost 2 weeks.  I do not want to go back on Monday, at all.  If I could send in my letter of resignation right now, I would.  Too bad I make more than H and I support our family :(
  • #1 So while I'm focusing on adding healthy choices into my life along with H (working out, eating healthy), I'm also hiding my scale for a month, or two.  It seems to get me down more than encouraging me.  I might bring it down every 2 weeks to check on my progress, otherwise I'll be hoping on it daily which is not encouraging.

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

    #2 I think my stepdaughter is behind in maturity.  She just doesn't act like a 7, almost 8 year old to me.  It's mostly little things, like I always have to ask her if she wiped after using the bathroom and it's always "opps I forgot".  Or she wants to know "how many bites" until she's done.  Um... all of them!?  She also wets the bed every other night.  We stop drinks after 7, potty before bed (930-10), and it still happens.  I feel like at 7 years old, she shouldn't need a pull up.  H can't ask biomom anything because she gets defensive and it's a big fight.  I found myself getting kind of losing patience with her, and I feel bad.  Part of me thinks she does some of the stuff to get attention.  The acting out stuff, not the bed wetting.

  • I'm terrified about Saturday. We're going to look at a house and I'm afraid that I will hate it.

  • @consciousdear88 I hope it goes well for you! When we were buying, we saw a ton of houses we hated! Don't let one get you down. The right house WILL come along.

  • I confess that I wish pregnancy was easier! Between the constant nausea, vomiting , headaches, not sleeping, hip pain, crying and crazy emotions this is wayyyyyyyy harder than I ever thought! Don't get me wrong I absolutely love that I am carrying our child and can not wait for July to get here. It's just the beginning and I'm already having a tough time. Here's to hoping the 2nd trimester is better :-)
  • @WillyH19 Thanks! It's mostly been wigging me out lately because I feel like I've been bending over backwards with the realtor to finally get to see this place. Doesn't help either that our rental house is driving me nuts right now.

    Thinking of you @DanaOcNy pregnancy is HARD!!! I hope it starts getting better for you soon. You are getting soooo close to your second tri! I started feeling so much better around 12-13 weeks.

  • @DanaOCNY I understand how you feel.  It is awful to be nauseous all day long.  I have no appetite because of it and my doctor yelled at me this week because I lost weight.  I don't really want to drink either and I know I have to, but it makes me want to puke.  I am scared I won't get relief at the end of my first trimester because my mom was sick the entire time with both of her pregnancies.

    @sjs1013 I am with you 100% I don't make more than H, but he's convinced we wouldn't be able to survive without my salary, even if I went and got another job. His treatments for Crohn's disease are $120 a year on my insurance, but it would be $4,000 on his. That's why I have to stay. My new medication hasn't kicked in enough yet to keep me from being on the verge of a panic attack about having to go back on Monday.
