Re: Win and Whine Wednesday

  • Whine-I need to meal plan and make a grocery list for next week but I am lazy and don't feel like it. Plus I want to try to find some new recipes.

    Win-We are doing pretty good with the meal planning and grocery shopping so far. We save money when we do and we actually have enough food to last us.

    Whine-Ava Nichol woke up about 45 minutes early this morning.

    Win-Hopefully this means she will go down for her nap a little easier and at her normal time!

  • Whine- I just must be a ball of emotions today. So many different things I've read today (here and GP) have brought tears to my eyes. 

    Whine- Stuck at work an hour later :P

    Whine- Every January DH's work slows down and they go down to two shifts so he gets moved to second shift. I like having some me time, but lately I've been missing him. 

    Win- I had the most amazing mint chocolate shake with my lunch! 

    Win- DH is off Friday

    Win- Figuring out what plays I want tickets for this year and it's not going to cost nearly as much as I had thought. Excited!

  • Whine: I'm hungry. all. the. time.

    Win: I just heated up leftover enchiladas for lunch!

    Whine: DH and I slept on the couch last night. We both woke up three different times to get the other one up to bed but failed.  Now my neck and back hurt and I'm more exhausted than usual.

    Win: My parents are coming to visit this weekend!  I can't wait!!

    Win: in on my iPad, I'm logged in and can respond! Can't get in on my iPhone.
    whine: just put my two down for a nap, they almost couldn't finish their bottle they were falling asleep, but as soon as I move them to the crib it's a 60 second cry out. It makes me sad to see them so upset even though I know it's only for a min.

  • @PandPMeant2B - gosh I hear you on the constant hunger. If I get hungry I get sick so it's always a mad dash to eat something!

    Win: my appointment is tonight :) can't wait for her to break out that Doppler!

    Whine: (hunger related) it's so hard to pack a lunch when I don't know what will sound good throughout the day!

  • @PandPMeant2B - I never used to keep food in my desk, I'd just bring a lunch and snacks... now my desk is like a mini pantry! And usually none of the stuff I have even sounds good. I think I need to re-stock ;)

  • Whine - I feel like I'm running in circles with LO's name. 4 days from EDD and still no name. I feel pressured to pick something (not by DH. The second this kid pops out, I'm going to get 2300 texts asking what his name is)

    Win - by some miracle, I've managed to keep my pregnancy weight gain under control this tri. It was slightly nuts second tri.

    Whine - feeling like I'm splitting in half every time I roll over in bed is getting old fast.

    Win - I had scallops last night. They were delicious.

    Win - something about the last few days has changed my attitude considerably. Assuming work doesn't let me go after mat leave, I would be okay coming back temporarily while looking for a new job. It wouldn't be the end of the world. Even after them being such pricks, gaining more experience can only look better for me.

    Whine: Lexi has been sick on and off for the past 5 days. No flu, just a bug that's causing her to sleep and have a slight fever.

    Whine: I brought her to school both yesterday and today because she was fine in the morning, only to be called saying she's had a temp and needs to go home.

    Win/Whine: because of this, I've been home half the week. Whine because I need to save as many sick hours as I can for my maternity leave and it's slowly dwindling down.

    Win: my mom is awesome and taking the next two days off to take care of her for me while I work.

    Win: I just took a two hour nap. It feels good, but now I'm groggy.

  • Whine: I don't even really have anything, THAT's how good of a mood I'm in. But because of when my appt was, and because we had a staff meeting, like, the second I got back to the office, I totally missed the cafeteria being open for lunch and just had to go raid the vending machines for food. 

    Win: See my other post. :)

  • @nightmare_of_beauty I did South Beach several years back and was happy with the results and even kept the "lifestyle" of eating low carb, etc. The first 2 weeks were hell! Not sure what week you're on but if you're having the headaches, be sure to eat legumes. I ate edamame like they were going out of style. Good luck with your weight loss!

  • Whine:  I am still so hungry all the time, but afraid to eat as much because I don't want another 12 lb month!

    Win:  We are going to visit another in-home daycare tonight.

    Whine:  Daycare is expensive and I don't want to have to put him in there at just 6 weeks old.  It makes me feel like a bad mom for having to put him in so early.
