Feeling lighter today

It is amazing how even though I chose to keep tha bad eats and late night tv last night, i feel lighter this morning. Having written about what was going on and talking with my husband last night i didn’t go as overboard as i could have and i knew that i was ready to take myself seriously again. My biggest challenge is to keep the self care up when i go into care-for-others 24/7 mode. How do i keep caring for myself in those ways that actually feel good? And, will i need the one night of tv/eats a  week so that i don’t go into deprivation-binge mode - maybe. I feel VERY happy today, and lighter and  freer. My lil one is so healthy and energized again, too, it is very exciting!

As always, can’t say enough about how much you all ROCK!! thanks for the support and the nudges towards health!

By the way, my ticker is just about accurate, i change it on Saturdays usually- i think this week I’ll be up another pound. I had hoped to gain only my 18 lost back, but for my size any where between 15-30 pounds is good. We’ll see how i do! The midwives saw me this week and didn’t say anything about my gain - not too much or too little so I think I’m all good here at 25 weeks having gained 13 pounds.

    I know what you mean about the TV…glad summer is coming up, nothing but re-runs, keeps me totally away, out and about as often as possible. Glad you and you little one are feeling better today!

    13 pounds in 25 weeks is very healthy Debbie.

    Are you getting into different designs for your new house? The closing is coming up soon, right?

    Glad you were able to talk things through with your husband rather than binge on sugary food.

    Enjoy your day.

    I am so proud of you Debbie, you have so much determination keeping you focused. Did you give any consideration to the “big brother” scrapbook I suggested to keep your hands busy and enrich your bond even more with the little guy? Do you know what the little angel you’re carrying is?

    You are doing great and you are gaining like a healthy Mama. Tis a good new behavior to develop…talking instead of eating when we are stressed. Thanks Debbie.
