PMS Thriday

Jodee37

Damn, missed it by a day again! I think Thriday should be the 8th day of the week. This has been a mentally/emotionally exhausting week for me and I am lacking on fun ideas so I'd like to bring PMS Thursday back around to it's OG style post today. 

P is for Physical - how have you been doing on getting/keeping your body IF "ready"? What is your current work out/diet? how have you been doing on sticking with your plan? (you guys ROCK!!)

M is for Mental - name one thing that made you REALLY happy this week and boosted your mental state.

S is for Spiritual - what is speaking to you this week/your mantra? a phrase? lyrics? did you see something and it spoke volumes to you?

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'll start.

P: i've been burning the candle at both ends these last two weeks and am paying the price now, lost my voice and am hacking up some green shit. clearly i have some work to do in this area. maybe i need to quit my second job. just not sleeping enough. half the week i get only 4-5 hours. as for work out, my job has me on my feet for 13 hours so i feel like i'm doing plenty of walking. i think i need to up my protein intake though. ladies, tips for more protein? i don't want to be shoving tons of meat down my throat all day every day.

M: kellen has a way of making me belly laugh lately. we call him Captain Obvious because he has to narrate everything. the other day i went to get him after naptime. opening the door i was assaulted with the stench of shit. he's sitting in his bed, blank stare on his face. he says "i awake mama." i say "i see that sweetie. let's open your window and get some air in here."  with a beaming grin he replies (as he pinches his nose) "yes, open window mama. i did big stinky poo poos in my butt." oh that child.

S: this phrase is helping me focus this week. "when you feel like giving up, remember you have a lot of motherfuckers to prove wrong."  LMFAO!

Oooh, fun!

P: I've been having weird dizziness/nausea lately. I blame my effed up hormones. But if I eat smart, it seems to be better. Like @Jodee37 I think I need to eat more protein, especially early in the day, so I've been making omelets with veggies in the morning. A bonus is that DS loves eggs, too.

M: We biked to an outdoor concert yesterday in our neighborhood and it was great! Packed a picnic dinner, let DS run around, then caught fireflies when we got home. It reminded me that I need to spend as much time outdoors as I can while the summer is still here.

S: John Lennon: "Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans." This just keeps running through my head. And it reminds me to unclench my control-freak grip on life a little bit because, really, it doesn't make any difference.

P: I made it to boot camp and body pump this week. I left both classes early because my knees were killing me, but I went. I am taking a few days off after the failed procedure, but will pick it back up next week. 

M: L has been such a momma's girl and extra cuddly the past couple days. She must sense I am in a bad mood. 

S: I struggle here.

P - continued success on Weight Watchers - I'm down 12.6 lbs since the end of May - super happy about this

M is for Mental - DD says "I love you Momma" and when I asked who her friends were at school she added "Momma" to the list. 

S is for Spiritual - Given that I never have been or will be super thin - I got a laugh when I heard Meghan Trainor's song "All About That Bass"

P is for Physical - High protein and I went to my first Zumba class in about a year and a half last night.

M is for Mental - My husband finally talked to his medical doc about his depression and got some medication so maybe he'll be a little happier and easier to be around.

S is for Spiritual - My daughter, always my daughter.

P is for Physical - how have you been doing on getting/keeping your body IF "ready"? What is your current work out/diet? how have you been doing on sticking with your plan? (you guys ROCK!!) Cardio 7 days a week, and strength pretty much 7 days a week as well. Low carb / high protein diet. #BEASTMODE

M is for Mental - name one thing that made you REALLY happy this week and boosted your mental state. Awww my baby girl turned 3 on Thurs. We had cupcakes for breakfast, and let her do whatever she wanted all day- which included lots of playing, and junk food. 

S is for Spiritual - what is speaking to you this week/your mantra? a phrase? lyrics? did you see something and it spoke volumes to you? I'm meditating every night, and I listened to Biggie for hours in the car today.  Same thing, right?

P is for Physical - I've been wearing a fitbit and tracking my steps.  I also go to the gym as often as possible.  I still would like to loose about 15-20lbs to get back to my pre IVF #1 weight but I think every little bit counts.  

M is for Mental - It was my 33rd birthday on Tuesday and I still get irrationally happy on my birthday!

S is for Spiritual - I'm a little lost on this one.  I pray that my RE and his colleagues can get me pregnant again.  My faith has somewhat diminished over the years.  I hope to get that back real soon.

@Bananappeal145‌ I so hope hubby starts to feel better and is nicer to be around. That can be really tough, props to him for making the change he needed to. @phishgirl29‌ happy birthday! I am 33 too, well, until next month. I still get excited too! @Mrs Castillo‌ biggie? You know I'm all tupac over here. West coast forevaaaahhhhhhhhh!

East Coast foreverrrrrrrrrrr

P: So, I kind of slacked off for the last week, but starting tomorrow I'm back at tracking calories.

M: We went on vacation last week and it was so good to have some romantic alone time with my husband.  So refreshing for our marriage. 

S: I am reading this book called When Helping Hurts.  It's about how to care fore the poor in a way that actually improves their situation instead of just meeting the basic physical need.  It's very challenging because who wants to be convicted about their own self-centeredness.  But it's also empowering to see that I can make a difference and do good things.

Is a new board member allowedto participate?

P is for Physical - I went paleo in May and have lost a full size already. I still have a long way to go. Hopefully the specialist won't tell me I'm too fat for help.

M is for Mental - We had a group of friends over this weekend to play cards. I needed those laughs.

 

S is for Spiritual - Enjoy the journey. I'm so focused (too focused?) on the outcome, but I don't want to miss right now.
