I'm not religious at all, but i am super obsessed with the pope. #fangirl #teamfrankie Like, i would wait in line for hours just to catch a glimpse of him, and i won't even do that for a free chipotle burrito.
I'm waiting for my mom to pick my toddler up in a couple hours before eating some of my birthday carrot cake. I don't wanna share!!
Also i probably won't be patient enough to wait that long so you know I'll probably just be hiding out in a closet shoving my face full of cake #momlife
I love this board for the science and truth-iness of it, but sometimes I lurk other websites (wont name any names...) just to read some serious crazy. And I love it.
My husband has been setting up, fetching, and bringing me coffee since we started living together 4 years ago.
Whenever he's out of town...I don't drink my morning cup. Not because I don't want a cup (I definitely do), but because I'm just not about to go through the struggle to set it up the night before and walk my ass all the way downstairs in the freezing cold morning, all for a cup of piping hot coffee. I need him to come home so we can have a bit of normalcy back in our household!
It’s spring break week so everyone has been gone all week. I finished all of my work in about 2 hours today and have been “cleaning” my office ever since. I’m salaried and most of the weeks I work well over my 40 hours but I still feel a little guilty...
@sliztee my partner is like that with my water bottle lol. I'm so lazy about refilling it because he always does it for me... It's nice being a bit spoiled. Hope your coffee provide returns soon!
My preferred alternative to water is iced tea. I drink water at home and work, but I don’t care how much caffeine it may or may not have- I will drink all the iced tea while I’m out and about.
PS - why isn’t caffeine listed on nutrition labels? I might pay attention if the information was available, but I’m not going to go digging for it, because I’m lazy like that and frankly don’t have faith in averages published by random websites....
I frequently don’t see the amount of caffeine in something listed on the label. Of course, my caffeine intake is mostly coffee and chocolate, so maybe it’s on other products. I did buy tea from Target and that had a range of caffeine amounts once brewed on the package. I agree @knottieamusements, it would be great to see that on the nutrition label where it would be consistently easy to find.
I sent the kids outside to play so I could eat ice cream.
For the last 12 weeks I’ve made all of my parenting decisions based on how tired I am and how likely I am to rest. I’m pretty sure my H wants to kills me.
Some company did some thing with their bonds that H predicted they would do, so his fund made a bunch of money and we’re going out for dinner tonight. I’m definitely having a glass of champagne and I’m SO looking forward to it.
I'm definitely averaging more than 1 day a week now for having a second lunch. This has been over multiple weeks, but today will be the second day in a row this week. I am so hungryyyy.
@knottieamusements there are some days that food doesn't sound awesome, but it's mostly in the evening. And then, when I take a bite just to try it, it's magically delicious and I end up eating most of it. But it's for a sure a mid-day extreme hunger thing. Pre-lunch workout today also definitely helped increase the appetite.
Hormones have made me start to grow a beard. I'm too lazy to do anything about it.

4 year old is babysitting 2 year old today. I threw up so hard in the toilet that the water splashed back in my face, hair, and all over my clothes. I know they have had chocolate, m&ms, fruit snacks, and juice boxes and IDGAF.
@chopchop25 I eat all day. About every two hours, some times less. I’m not eating a full meal, but all day long. It’s the only way to stave off nausea “.
@mytrueloves no shame. Before my first pregnancy I had one chin hair I’d pluck. After DD1 it was a little cluster of 3-4. After DD2 it’s two happy little matching clusters of 6-8 hairs on either side of my chin. I’m pretty sure after this pregnancy it will genuinely be a full beard. Thank God for home waxing.
I'm way past the cluster phase. I have a full mustache, hair growing on my neck, and hair just sprouting up everywhere across my jaw. I'm lucky that it's light enough you can't tell unless you're up close.

I have my next midwife appointment on Monday and am required to complete a food log to bring with me of 3 ‘typical’ days of eating. You can bet my next 3 days of eating will be the cleanest/healthiest days of my life. I was going to start it yesterday but then ran behind on my morning appointments and ended up eating McDonald’s for lunch - no way am I writing that down!
I have PCOS so I’ve always had a stache and hairs all down my chin, jaw, and neck. I’m fair and my hair is black. I’m too lazy to wax or nair bc it grows so fast, so I’ve been shaving for years. No shame.
Oouf, that's rough @elothair. I mean, good on your midwife for keeping track of nutrition and all, but I just don't think I could muster up the energy to keep a food journal for 3 days lol. I would definitely do the same thing and be super healthy for three days though! Luckily, my Dr basically said if you feel like eating it, eat it (for first tri anyway). At this point, she was much more concerned about me eating something than about what it was I was eating, lol.
Oh man, you guys are making me nervous with this chin hair stuff!! I've had one hair that DH loves to pluck for me but if it gets to a cluster I'll cry lol better stock up on the eyebrow wax!!
I had 2 hot pockets and a yoohoo for lunch today then some snacks, it was definitely a kids dream lunch
My partner told me he was bored at work so i told him to order me a pizza. With dessert sticks. They've just arrived and I regret nothing as i live my best & laziest life #shameless
@mamabearcj I just added hot pockets to my grocery list. Thank you

I had to do that once many years ago for a nutritionist- I took the opposite approach and ate exactly what I normally do, so that when she told me I couldn’t have coke and cookies anymore, I had room for improvement.
I will say that her assertion that she wanted me to make small, sustainable changes over a few weeks was a lie. She dumped this radical (for me) low carb diet on my plate, and when I explained how I was suddenly having sugar crashes (by symptoms, not using technical words because I didn’t know them) in the middle of work-outs, she told me I was doing so well!
@mamabearcj Today I've eaten a quesadilla with sour cream, a big piece of ice cream cake, and pickles. And the only reason I'm not buying pizza for dinner is because I had to take one of my freezer meals out to make room for the ice cream cake

Thanks to PCOS I have been slowly growing more beard hair for a few years. It's worse now that I'm pregnant. The same with my stomach. Around my belly button and lower it grows black hairs. It sucks.
@knottieamusements Yikes! That’s crazy. Thankfully I’m pretty sure the midwives just want to make sure I know how to eat healthy and balanced so I’m making sure I use exemplary days of that to prove I do! Given the next two days are weekend days odds are good I’ll have some kind of treat/junk but I’m pretty sure I recall from last time I did this for them (4 years ago) they didn’t really care since the overall picture was pretty balanced!
