Weekly Wins 6/19

[Deleted User]

Thought this might be a fun thread to start! What win, big or small, did you have this week? Doesn't have to be pregnancy related!

Cricket99

Cleaned the kitchen and did all the dishes and only gagged once. Didn't barf at all. I'm definitely calling that a win!

Ran 10 miles on Saturday morning. First good and real run since the BFP. Nothing since, but I'll take it!

Prepared a real meal for Father's Day! Ran all of the necessary errands with DS in tow. I basically didn't stop moving on Sunday and that was awesome! I'm starting to get my usual energy back, except I did go to bed at 7 though...haha.

dcamp18

Cleaned the house for the first time in weeks on Saturday! 

@EmilyLove25 that is amazing! If only I could get my butt outside and get a mile in!

mommaa1615

Off work for the summer, wooohoooo!!!!!!!

@EmilyLove25 That sounds amazing and I'm SO jealous! I haven't run since I broke my leg last year and was getting ready to pick it back up when I got my BFP. I'm thinking I could probably start again if I pick it up slowly....

Eags

I made 2 (not one, but two!!) embroidered shirts to sell! I have felt so bad that I haven't been doing any lately. 

And today I went on a walk after lunch! It's small, but it's better than the last 4 weeks.

We just did a 13 hr trip from GA to Chicago and back for Father's Day weekend with a 3 yr old and an 8 month old.

I cooked a real dinner today! I had to put menthol ointment on my nose to cover up all the smells, but I did it! I also loaded the dishwasher without throwing up 

Dani0329

I came home home to clean 2 of our bathrooms because I had energy and didn't feel gross!

TInman87

I deep cleaned our living room and one of the bathrooms, and cooked a real meal both nights this weekend!!!

Cancelled all utilities at our house effective day after closing, and set up all (different) utilities at the new house; y'all that was a lot of hold time! And managed to squeeze in a workout!

burnsmommy27

I took a 20 minute walk at work then ran a 5K after work. Although this is how I feel running pregnant

I got temporary (although may become permanent) promotion last Thursday!  Just went for training yesterday.

Training was where my folks live, so I could have stayed with one of them, but I really don't want to *see* my parents until we're ready to tell them, because otherwise I feel like I'm just lying to them by being around them.

We're going to try to make plans with both sets this weekend though, so that will alleviate that!

I think we may finally have the dogs shedding under control. We bought a rake for his fur, and found enough for a 2nd dog I think! I'm hoping this puts an end to the massive fur balls that have been collecting around the house!

My terrible sleeper has STTN 4 (!!!) nights in a row. I feel like I won the lottery I'm so dang excited!!! 

ETA @JuliaGoolia719 What a cutie!

Yesterday I:
1. Did the dishes
2. Folded/put away SIX loads of laundry (it was out of control)
3. Vacuumed, swept, mopped, and dusted my entire house
4. Deep-cleaned TWO bathrooms
5. Cooked dinner
I totally felt like my old self. And now today...I'm barely staying awake while lying on the couch. Counting down the hours to DD's nap so I can get some zzzzzz's. 

ottergirl81

Was able to eat a proper breakfast today! Actually wanted to eat it too. Had a very good nights rest also. Yay to all the big wins on here, congrats ladies! 

JuliaGoolia719

@schaze Thank you! He's pretty cute which is why he's lived this long!  He had crack head levels of energy when we got him, I'm so excited that hes getting a little older and calming down lol!

thedawkterswife

I survived a 10 day visit from my in laws! 

EmilyLove25

@schaze CONGRATS! And great timing as you need the sleep and down time more than ever!
@cyanope I totally think it is day to day too. I'm just taking the good days and doing as much as I can!

I have killed it at work today... in ways all unrelated to work: Ran 7 miles at lunch, walked two miles to meetings, and went and picked up a cheap, healthy, protein filled lunch... and I get my hair done tonight! 

cyanope

Yay for no more roots, @EmilyLove25! Now you can post your HDBD photo tomorrow without any worries over your hair!! 

libbberty

@cyanope I feel like I can barely show myself in the same forum as you! haha.

Starting today off right after my downward spiral yesterday (which included almost an entire family pack of Mac n cheese, all by myself)...green smoothie in hand, already put sheets/towels in the wash, getting some work done, and paying my OB bill all before I leave in the next hour.

@EmilyLove25 your enthusiasm for running is motivating me to get my butt moving. Much appreciated. Thinking that if I witness your connotations of running with positive feelings, maybe I'll start automatically thinking that way in my head and find myself lacing up my shoes.

cyanope

@libbberty, don't be too impressed. I followed my crazy cleaning day up with two days of basically lying on the couch. I can't seem to recover...

Mudge85

I got the Baby Jogger City Select Stroller + Second Seat for $200 off!! Huuuuuuuuuuge deal! My Babies R us was told to mark them down and move them out - they think they are releasing a new model but with twins on the way i'll take the savings!

averee12

I have finally gotten some of my energy back! For the last 4 days I have gotten up at 4:50 with DH, once he's out the door to work I get myself dressed and go for an hour walk. Loving that I am feeling so much better!

britmanering73

I cooked supper twice this week!! That's saying something...my poor husband!

burnsmommy27

DH took me out for my birthday last night. I did my hair, put on red lipstick and wedge heals AND stayed out past 830 pm. Like who am I? Yay for 2nd tri good feels

libbberty

@burnsmommy27 happy birthday!!! Red lipstick - BOOM 

themdking

I didn't choke/gag on my prenatals at all this week!
